Scene 1 · Intermediate

Tunica multicoloră

The coat of many colors

Romanian

Iacov, numit și Israel, locuia în Canaan, țara în care trăise și tatăl său. Printre fiii lui se afla Iosif, un tânăr de șaptesprezece ani. El păștea turma împreună cu frații săi, inclusiv cu fiii Bilhei și ai Zilpei, soțiile lui Iacov, și îi adusese tatălui lor vești rele despre ei.

English translation

Jacob, also called Israel, lived in Canaan, the land where his father had also lived. Among his sons was Joseph, a young man of seventeen. He tended the flock with his brothers, including the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob’s wives, and had brought their father bad reports about them.

Romanian

Israel îl iubea pe Iosif mai mult decât pe ceilalți copii, fiindcă i se născuse la bătrânețe. Îi făcuse o tunică multicoloră. Văzând că tatăl lor îl iubea mai mult decât pe ei, frații au ajuns să-l urască și nu-i mai puteau vorbi cu blândețe.

English translation

Israel loved Joseph more than his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. He had made him a multicolored tunic. Seeing that their father loved him more than them, his brothers came to hate him and could no longer speak kindly to him.
