Génesis 37
Dios Habla Hoy
37 Jacob se quedó a vivir en Canaán, donde su padre había vivido por algún tiempo. 2 Ésta es la historia de la familia de Jacob.
José y sus hermanos
Cuando José era un muchacho de diecisiete años, cuidaba las ovejas junto con sus hermanos, los hijos de Bilhá y de Zilpá, que eran las concubinas de su padre. Y José llevaba a su padre quejas de la mala conducta de sus hermanos.
3 Israel quería a José más que a sus otros hijos, porque había nacido cuando él ya era viejo. Por eso le hizo una túnica muy elegante. 4 Pero al darse cuenta sus hermanos de que su padre lo quería más que a todos ellos, llegaron a odiarlo y ni siquiera lo saludaban.
5 Una vez José tuvo un sueño, y se lo contó a sus hermanos; pero ellos lo odiaron más todavía, 6 porque les dijo:
—Escuchen, voy a contarles el sueño que tuve. 7 Soñé que todos nosotros estábamos en el campo, haciendo manojos de trigo; de pronto, mi manojo se levantó y quedó derecho, pero los manojos de ustedes se pusieron alrededor del mío y le hicieron reverencias.
8 Entonces sus hermanos contestaron:
—¿Quieres decir que tú vas a ser nuestro rey, y que nos vas a dominar?
Y lo odiaron todavía más por sus sueños y por la forma en que los contaba.
9 Después José tuvo otro sueño, que también les contó a sus hermanos. Les dijo:
—¿Saben que tuve otro sueño, en el que veía que el sol, la luna y once estrellas me hacían reverencias?
10 Cuando José contó este sueño a su padre y a sus hermanos, su padre le reprendió y le dijo:
—¿Qué quieres decir con este sueño que tuviste? ¿Acaso tu madre, tus hermanos y yo tendremos que hacerte reverencias?
11 Y sus hermanos le tenían envidia, pero su padre pensaba mucho en este asunto.
José es vendido por sus hermanos
12 Un día los hermanos de José fueron a Siquem, buscando pastos para las ovejas de su padre. 13 Entonces Israel le dijo a José:
—Mira, tus hermanos están en Siquem cuidando las ovejas. Quiero que vayas a verlos.
—Iré con mucho gusto —contestó José.
14 —Bueno —dijo Israel—, ve y fíjate cómo están tus hermanos y las ovejas, y regresa luego a traerme la noticia.
Israel mandó a José desde el valle de Hebrón, y cuando José llegó a Siquem, 15 se perdió por el campo. Entonces un hombre lo encontró y le preguntó:
—¿Qué andas buscando?
16 —Ando buscando a mis hermanos —respondió José—. ¿Podría usted decirme dónde están cuidando las ovejas?
17 —Ya se fueron de aquí —dijo el hombre—. Les oí decir que se iban a Dotán.
José fue en busca de sus hermanos y los encontró en Dotán. 18 Ellos lo vieron venir a lo lejos, y antes de que se acercara hicieron planes para matarlo. 19 Se dijeron unos a otros:
—¡Miren, ahí viene el de los sueños! 20 Vengan, vamos a matarlo; luego lo echaremos a un pozo y diremos que un animal salvaje se lo comió. ¡Y vamos a ver qué pasa con sus sueños!
21 Cuando Rubén oyó esto, quiso librarlo de sus hermanos, y dijo:
—No lo matemos. 22 No derramen sangre. Échenlo a este pozo que está en el desierto, pero no le pongan la mano encima.
Rubén dijo esto porque quería poner a salvo a José y devolvérselo a su padre; 23 pero cuando José llegó a donde estaban sus hermanos, ellos le quitaron la túnica que llevaba puesta, 24 lo agarraron y lo echaron al pozo, que estaba vacío y seco. 25 Después se sentaron a comer.
En esto, vieron venir una caravana de ismaelitas que venían de Galaad y que traían en sus camellos perfumes, bálsamo y mirra, para llevarlos a Egipto. 26 Entonces Judá les dijo a sus hermanos:
—¿Qué ganamos con matar a nuestro hermano, y después tratar de ocultar su muerte? 27 Es mejor que lo vendamos a los ismaelitas y no que lo matemos, porque después de todo es nuestro hermano.
Sus hermanos estuvieron de acuerdo con él, 28 y cuando los comerciantes madianitas pasaron por allí, los hermanos de José lo sacaron del pozo y lo vendieron a los ismaelitas por veinte monedas de plata. Así se llevaron a José a Egipto.
29 Cuando Rubén regresó al pozo y no encontró a José allí adentro, rasgó su ropa en señal de dolor. 30 Luego volvió a donde estaban sus hermanos, y les dijo:
—¡El muchacho ya no está! ¿Ahora qué voy a hacer?
31 Entonces ellos tomaron la túnica de José y la mancharon con la sangre de un cabrito que mataron; 32 luego se la mandaron a su padre, con este mensaje: «Encontramos esto. Fíjate bien si es o no la túnica de tu hijo.»
33 En cuanto Jacob la reconoció, dijo: «¡Sí, es la túnica de mi hijo! Algún animal salvaje lo hizo pedazos y se lo comió.» 34 Entonces Jacob rasgó su ropa y se vistió de luto, y por mucho tiempo lloró la muerte de su hijo. 35 Todos sus hijos y sus hijas trataban de consolarlo, pero él no quería que lo consolaran; al contrario, lloraba por su hijo y decía: «Guardaré luto por mi hijo, hasta que vaya a reunirme con él entre los muertos.»
36 En Egipto, los madianitas vendieron a José a un hombre llamado Potifar, que era funcionario del faraón, el rey de Egipto, y capitán de su guardia.

Joseph’s Dreams
37 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed,(A) the land of Canaan.(B)
2 This is the account(C) of Jacob’s family line.
Joseph,(D) a young man of seventeen,(E) was tending the flocks(F) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah(G) and the sons of Zilpah,(H) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report(I) about them.
3 Now Israel(J) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,(K) because he had been born to him in his old age;(L) and he made an ornate[a] robe(M) for him.(N) 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him(O) and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Joseph had a dream,(P) and when he told it to his brothers,(Q) they hated him all the more.(R) 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves(S) of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”(T)
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”(U) And they hated him all the more(V) because of his dream and what he had said.
9 Then he had another dream,(W) and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars(X) were bowing down to me.”(Y)
10 When he told his father as well as his brothers,(Z) his father rebuked(AA) him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”(AB) 11 His brothers were jealous of him,(AC) but his father kept the matter in mind.(AD)
Joseph Sold by His Brothers
12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,(AE) 13 and Israel(AF) said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.(AG) Come, I am going to send you to them.”
“Very well,” he replied.
14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers(AH) and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron.(AI)
When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”
17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(AJ)’”
So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(AK)
19 “Here comes that dreamer!(AL)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(AM) and say that a ferocious animal(AN) devoured him.(AO) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(AP)
21 When Reuben(AQ) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(AR) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(AS) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(AT)
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(AU) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(AV) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(AW) coming from Gilead.(AX) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(AY) and myrrh,(AZ) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(BA)
26 Judah(BB) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(BC) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(BD) our own flesh and blood.(BE)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(BF) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(BG) and sold(BH) him for twenty shekels[b] of silver(BI) to the Ishmaelites,(BJ) who took him to Egypt.(BK)
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(BL) 30 He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn’t there! Where can I turn now?”(BM)
31 Then they got Joseph’s robe,(BN) slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.(BO) 32 They took the ornate robe(BP) back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”
33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal(BQ) has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(BR)
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes,(BS) put on sackcloth(BT) and mourned for his son many days.(BU) 35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him,(BV) but he refused to be comforted.(BW) “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son(BX) in the grave.(BY)” So his father wept for him.
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites[c](BZ) sold Joseph(CA) in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.(CB)

Genesis 37
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Si Jose at ang Kanyang mga Kapatid
37 Nagpaiwan si Jacob para manirahan sa Canaan, ang lupaing tinitirhan din dati ng kanyang ama.
2 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Jacob:
Nang 17 taong gulang si Jose, nagbabantay siya ng mga hayop kasama ng kanyang mga kapatid na mga anak ni Bilha at ni Zilpa, na mga asawa ng kanyang ama. Ipinagtapat ni Jose sa kanyang ama ang masasamang ginagawa ng kanyang mga kapatid.
3 Mas mahal ni Jacob[a] si Jose kaysa sa iba niyang mga anak, dahil matanda na siya nang isilang si Jose. Kaya itinahi niya si Jose ng maganda at mahabang damit. 4 Pero nang napansin ng mga kapatid ni Jose na mas mahal siya ng kanilang ama kaysa sa kanila, nagalit sila kay Jose at sinabihan ito ng masasakit na salita.
5 Isang gabi, nanaginip si Jose. Nang isalaysay niya ito sa mga kapatid niya, lalo silang nagalit sa kanya. 6 Sapagkat ito ang isinalaysay niya, “Nanaginip ako 7 na habang naroon tayo sa bukid na nagbibigkis ng mga uhay, bigla na lang tumayo ang ibinigkis ko at pinaikutan ito ng inyong mga ibinigkis na uhay na nakayuko.”
8 Sinabi ng kanyang mga kapatid, “Ano? Magiging hari ka at mangunguna sa amin?” Kaya lalo pa silang nagalit kay Jose.
9 Muling nanaginip si Jose at isinalaysay na naman niya sa kanyang mga kapatid. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip ako ulit na nakita ko ang araw, ang buwan at ang 11 bituin na yumuyuko sa akin.”
10 Isinalaysay din ni Jose ang panaginip niya sa kanyang ama pero nagalit din ang kanyang ama sa kanya. Sinabi niya, “Ano ang ibig mong sabihin? Na kami ng iyong ina at ng mga kapatid mo ay yuyuko sa iyo?” 11 Nainggit ang mga kapatid ni Jose sa kanya, pero si Jacob ay sinarili na lamang ang bagay na ito.
Ipinagbili si Jose ng Kanyang mga Kapatid
12 Isang araw, pumunta ang mga kapatid ni Jose sa Shekem para magbantay ng mga hayop ng kanilang ama. 13-14 Sinabi ni Jacob[b] kay Jose, “Ang mga kapatid mo ay naroon sa Shekem na nagpapastol ng mga hayop. Pumunta ka roon at tingnan mo kung maayos ang kalagayan ng mga kapatid mo at ng mga hayop. Bumalik ka agad at sabihin sa akin.” Sumagot si Jose, “Opo ama.”
Kaya mula sa Lambak ng Hebron, pumunta si Jose sa Shekem. 15 Nang naroon na siyang pagala-gala sa bukid, may lalaking nagtanong sa kanya kung ano ang hinahanap niya.
16 Sumagot siya, “Hinahanap ko po ang mga kapatid ko. Alam nʼyo po ba kung saan sila nagpapastol?”
17 Sinabi ng lalaki, “Wala na sila rito. Narinig kong pupunta raw sila sa Dotan.” Kaya sinundan sila roon ni Jose at nakita niya sila sa Dotan.
18 Malayo pa si Jose ay nakita na siya ng mga kapatid niya. At bago pa siya makarating, binalak na nila na patayin siya. 19 Sinabi nila, “Paparating na ang mapanaginipin. Halikayo, patayin natin siya 20 at ihulog sa isa sa mga balon dito. Sabihin na lang natin na pinatay siya ng mabangis na hayop. Tingnan nga natin kung magkakatotoo ang mga panaginip niya.”
21 Nang marinig ni Reuben ang balak nila, pinagsikapan niyang iligtas si Jose. Sinabi niya, “Huwag na lang natin siyang patayin. 22 Ihulog nʼyo na lang siya rito sa balon sa ilang, pero huwag ninyo siyang papatayin.” Sinabi iyon ni Reuben dahil plano na niyang iligtas si Jose at ibalik sa kanilang ama.
23 Kaya pagdating ni Jose, hinubad nila ang mahaba at magandang damit nito, 24 at inihulog sa balon na walang tubig.
25 Habang kumakain sila, may natanaw silang mga mangangalakal na Ishmaelitang nanggaling sa Gilead. Ang mga kamelyo nila ay may kargang mga sangkap, gamot at pabangong dadalhin sa Egipto.
26 Sinabi ni Juda sa kanyang mga kapatid, “Ano ba ang makukuha natin kung papatayin natin ang kapatid natin at ililihim ang kamatayan niya? 27 Ang mabuti pa siguro ipagbili natin siya sa mga Ishmaelitang iyan. Huwag natin siyang patayin dahil kapatid natin siya.” Pumayag ang mga kapatid ni Juda sa sinabi niya.
28 Kaya pagdaan ng mga mangangalakal na Ishmaelita,[c] iniahon nila si Jose mula sa balon at ipinagbili nila sa halagang 20 pilak. At dinala si Jose ng mga Ishmaelita sa Egipto.
29 Nang bumalik si Reuben sa balon, wala na doon si Jose. Kaya pinunit niya ang kanyang damit sa lungkot. 30 Pagkatapos, bumalik siya sa mga kapatid niya at sinabi, “Wala na doon ang nakababata nating kapatid. Paano na ako ngayon makakauwi roon kay ama?”
31 Nagkatay sila ng kambing at isinawsaw sa dugo nito ang damit ni Jose. 32 Pagkatapos, dinala nila ang damit ni Jose sa kanilang ama at sinabi, “Nakita po namin ito. Tingnan po ninyong mabuti kung kay Jose po ito o hindi.”
33 Nakilala agad ni Jacob ang damit. Sinabi niya, “Sa kanya ito! Pinatay siya ng mabangis na hayop! Tiyak na niluray-luray siya ng hayop.”
34 Pinunit agad ni Jacob ang kanyang damit at nagdamit ng sako bilang pagluluksa. Nagluksa siya nang matagal sa pagkamatay ng kanyang anak. 35 Inaliw siya ng lahat ng anak niya pero patuloy pa rin ang pagdadalamhati niya. Sinabi niya, “Hayaan nʼyo na lang ako! Mamamatay akong nagdadalamhati dahil sa pagkamatay ng anak ko.” At nagpatuloy ang pag-iyak niya dahil kay Jose.
36 Samantala, doon sa Egipto, ipinagbili ng mga Midianita[d] si Jose kay Potifar na isa sa mga opisyal ng Faraon.[e] Kapitan siya ng mga guwardya sa palasyo.

King James Version
37 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
