א) וַיֵּשֶׁב יַעֲקֹב, בְּאֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵי אָבִיו—בְּאֶרֶץ, כְּנָעַן |
Ya’akov (Jacob) lived in the land of Cana’an. This is the story of Ya’akov and all his family. |
|
2 |
ב) אֵלֶּה תֹּלְדוֹת יַעֲקֹב, יוֹסֵף בֶּן–שְׁבַע–עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הָיָה רֹעֶה אֶת–אֶחָיו בַּצֹּאן, וְהוּא נַעַר אֶת–בְּנֵי בִלְהָה וְאֶת–בְּנֵי זִלְפָּה, נְשֵׁי אָבִיו; וַיָּבֵא יוֹסֵף אֶת–דִּבָּתָם רָעָה, אֶל–אֲבִיהֶם |
When Ya’akov’s son Yosef (Joseph) was 17 years old, he helped tend his father’s flocks with his brothers. Yosef would bring bad reports about his brothers to their father. |
|
3 |
ג) וְיִשְׂרָאֵל, אָהַב אֶת–יוֹסֵף מִכָּל–בָּנָיו—כִּי–בֶן–זְקֻנִים הוּא, לוֹ; וְעָשָׂה לוֹ, כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים |
Now Ya’akov loved Yosef best of all his sons, for Yosef was the child of his old age. Ya’akov made him a tunic with many colors. |
|
4 |
ד) וַיִּרְאוּ אֶחָיו, כִּי–אֹתוֹ אָהַב אֲבִיהֶם מִכָּל–אֶחָיו |
Then his brothers saw that their father loved Yosef best of any of them |
|
5 |
וַיִּשְׂנְאוּ, אֹתוֹ |
and they hated him |
|
6 |
וְלֹא יָכְלוּ, דַּבְּרוֹ לְשָׁלֹם |
and could not speak a friendly word to him. |
|
7 |
ה) וַיַּחֲלֹם יוֹסֵף חֲלוֹם |
And Yosef dreamed a dream |
|
8 |
וַיַּגֵּד לְאֶחָיו; וַיּוֹסִפוּ עוֹד, שְׂנֹא אֹתוֹ |
and told it to his brothers, and they hated him even more. |
|
9 |
ו) וַיֹּאמֶר, אֲלֵיהֶם: שִׁמְעוּ–נָא, הַחֲלוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר חָלָמְתִּי |
He said to them, “Listen to this dream I dreamed: |
|
10 |
ז) וְהִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ מְאַלְּמִים אֲלֻמִּים, בְּתוֹךְ הַשָּׂדֶה |
And הִנֵה there we were, tying up bundles (sheaves) of grain in the field, |
|
11 |
וְהִנֵּה קָמָה אֲלֻמָּתִי, וְגַם–נִצָּבָה |
and הִנֵה {sharp intake of breath}, my bundle rose up, it was standing up, |
|
12 |
וְהִנֵּה תְסֻבֶּינָה אֲלֻמֹּתֵיכֶם, וַתִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶיןָ לַאֲלֻמָּתִי |
and הִנֵה your bundles got in a circle around it and bowed down to my bundle.” |
|
13 |
ח) וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ, אֶחָיו, הֲמָלֹךְ תִּמְלֹךְ עָלֵינוּ, אִם–מָשׁוֹל תִּמְשֹׁל בָּנוּ |
His brothers said, “Do you mean to be king, to rule over us?” |
|
14 |
וַיּוֹסִפוּ עוֹד שְׂנֹא אֹתוֹ, עַל–חֲלֹמֹתָיו וְעַל–דְּבָרָיו |
And they hated him even more, because of his dreams and because of his words. |
|
15 |
ט) וַיַּחֲלֹם עוֹד חֲלוֹם אַחֵר |
But Yosef dreamed another dream |
|
16 |
וַיְסַפֵּר אֹתוֹ לְאֶחָיו; וַיֹּאמֶר |
and told it to his father and his brothers, saying, |
|
17 |
הִנֵּה חָלַמְתִּי חֲלוֹם עוֹד, וְהִנֵּה הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְהַיָּרֵחַ וְאַחַד עָשָׂר כּוֹכָבִים, מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים לִי |
“Look הִנֵה I dreamed another dream, and הִנֵה the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” |
|
18 |
י) וַיְסַפֵּר אֶל–אָבִיו, וְאֶל–אֶחָיו, וַיִּגְעַר–בּוֹ אָבִיו, וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מָה הַחֲלוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר חָלָמְתָּ: הֲבוֹא נָבוֹא, אֲנִי וְאִמְּךָ וְאַחֶיךָ, לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לְךָ, אָרְצָה |
His father scolded him, saying, “What is this dream you have dreamed? Are we going to come – I and your mother and your brothers – to bow down to you, to the ground?” |
|
19 |
יא) וַיְקַנְאוּ–בוֹ, אֶחָיו; וְאָבִיו, שָׁמַר אֶת–הַדָּבָר |
And his brothers felt jealous, and his father remembered the dream. |
