Scene 1 · Intermediate

Wielobarwna tunika

The coat of many colors

Polish

Jakub, nazywany również Izraelem, mieszkał w ziemi Kanaan, gdzie wcześniej żył jego ojciec. Jego syn Józef miał siedemnaście lat i pasał stado razem z braćmi, między innymi z synami Bilhy i Zilpy, żon Jakuba. O złym postępowaniu braci opowiadał ojcu.

English translation

Jacob, also called Israel, lived in the land of Canaan, where his father had lived before him. His son Joseph was seventeen years old and tended the flock with his brothers, including the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob’s wives. He told his father about his brothers’ bad behavior.

Polish

Izrael kochał Józefa bardziej niż pozostałe dzieci, ponieważ syn ten urodził mu się na starość. Kazał uszyć dla niego wielobarwną tunikę. Bracia dostrzegali tę szczególną miłość ojca. Nienawidzili Józefa do tego stopnia, że nie potrafili nawet odezwać się do niego po przyjacielsku.

English translation

Israel loved Joseph more than his other children because he had been born to him in his old age. He had a many-colored tunic made for him. His brothers could see their father’s special love for Joseph. They hated him so much that they could not even speak to him in a friendly way.
