La tunica dai molti colori
The coat of many colors
Italian
Giacobbe, chiamato anche Israele, abitava a Canaan, la terra in cui aveva vissuto suo padre. La storia della sua famiglia proseguì con Giuseppe, che a diciassette anni portava al pascolo il gregge insieme ai fratelli, fra cui i figli di Bila e di Zilpa, mogli di Giacobbe. Giuseppe riferiva al padre cose negative sul loro conto.
English translation
Jacob, also called Israel, lived in Canaan, the land where his father had lived. The story of his family continued with Joseph, who at seventeen tended the flock with his brothers, including the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob’s wives. Joseph reported bad things about them to his father.
Italian
Israele amava Giuseppe più degli altri figli, perché gli era nato quando era già anziano, e gli fece una tunica dai molti colori. I fratelli si accorsero di quella preferenza. Il loro odio era così forte che non riuscivano nemmeno a rivolgergli una parola amichevole.
English translation
Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because he had been born to him in his old age, and he made him a many-colored robe. His brothers noticed this favoritism. Their hatred was so strong that they could not even speak a friendly word to him.
