Genesis 37:2-4
Common English Bible
2 This is the account of Jacob’s descendants. Joseph was 17 years old and tended the flock with his brothers. While he was helping the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives, Joseph told their father unflattering things about them. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons because he was born when Jacob was old. Jacob had made for him a long[a] robe. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of his brothers, they hated him and couldn’t even talk nicely to him.

2 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ قِصَّةُ عَائِلَةِ يَعْقُوبَ:
كَانَ يُوسُفُ فِي السَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، وَكَانَ يَرْعَى المَاشِيَةَ مَعَ إخْوَتِهِ. وَعَمِلَ مُسَاعِدًا لِأبْنَاءِ بِلْهَةَ وَزِلْفَةَ، زَوْجَتَي أبِيهِ. وَنَقَلَ يُوسُفُ أخْبَارَهُمُ السَّيِّئَةَ لِأبِيهِمْ. 3 وَأحَبَّ إسْرَائِيلُ يُوسُفَ أكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ أبْنَائِهِ الآخَرِينَ، لِأنَّهُ وُلِدَ وَهُوَ شَيخٌ. وَصَنَعَ إسْرَائِيلُ لِيُوسُفَ ثَوْبًا مُلَوَّنًا. 4 وَرَأى إخْوَتُهُ أنَّ أبَاهُمْ يُحِبُّهُ أكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعًا. فَأبغَضُوا يُوسُفَ، وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَقْدِرُونَ أنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا مَعَهُ بِلُطْفٍ.
