اَلتَّكْوِينُ 41
| وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَأَى حُلْمًا: وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ١ 1 |
At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.
| وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ طَالِعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ حَسَنَةِ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَسَمِينَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ، فَٱرْتَعَتْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ. | ٢ 2 |
Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ أُخْرَى طَالِعَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ قَبِيحَةِ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَرَقِيقَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ، فَوَقَفَتْ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلْأُولَى عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ٣ 3 |
Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
| فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱللَّحْمِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَٱلسَّمِينَةَ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ. | ٤ 4 |
The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
| ثُمَّ نَامَ فَحَلُمَ ثَانِيَةً: وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ طَالِعَةٍ فِي سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ سَمِينَةٍ وَحَسَنَةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ رَقِيقَةٍ وَمَلْفُوحَةٍ بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ نَابِتَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
| فَٱبْتَلَعَتِ ٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلسَّنَابِلَ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلسَّمِينَةَ ٱلْمُمْتَلِئَةَ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ، وَإِذَا هُوَ حُلْمٌ. | ٧ 7 |
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَنَّ نَفْسَهُ ٱنْزَعَجَتْ، فَأَرْسَلَ وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ سَحَرَةِ مِصْرَ وَجَمِيعَ حُكَمَائِهَا. وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِرْعَوْنُ حُلْمَهُ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. | ٨ 8 |
In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt [Abode of slavery]’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ خَطَايَايَ. | ٩ 9 |
Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my crimes deserving peanlty, sins ·missing the goal·today.
| فِرْعَوْنُ سَخَطَ عَلَى عَبْدَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَنِي فِي حَبْسِ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ أَنَا وَرَئِيسَ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
| فَحَلُمْنَا حُلْمًا فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ أَنَا وَهُوَ. حَلُمْنَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَعْبِيرِ حُلْمِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ مَعَنَا غُلَامٌ عِبْرَانِيٌّ عَبْدٌ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ، فَقَصَصْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَعَبَّرَ لَنَا حُلْمَيْنَا. عَبَّرَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ حُلْمِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew [Immigrant], servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.
| وَكَمَا عَبَّرَ لَنَا هَكَذَا حَدَثَ. رَدَّنِي أَنَا إِلَى مَقَامِي، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَعَلَّقَهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَدَعَا يُوسُفَ، فَأَسْرَعُوا بِهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ. فَحَلَقَ وَأَبْدَلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَدَخَلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph [May he add], and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُهُ. وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ قَوْلًا، إِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ أَحْلَامًا لِتُعَبِّرَهَا». | ١٥ 15 |
Pharaoh said to Joseph [May he add], “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it said of you, that when you sh'ma ·hear obey· a dream you can interpret it.”
| فَأَجَابَ يُوسُفُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلًا: «لَيْسَ لِي. ٱللهُ يُجِيبُ بِسَلَامَةٍ فِرْعَوْنَ». | ١٦ 16 |
Joseph [May he add] answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «إِنِّي كُنْتُ فيِ حُلْمِي وَاقِفًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ١٧ 17 |
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph [May he add], “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:
| وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ طَالِعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ سَمِينَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ وَحَسَنَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ، فَٱرْتَعَتْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ أُخْرَى طَالِعَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا مَهْزُولَةً وَقَبِيحَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ جِدًّا وَرَقِيقَةَ ٱللَّحْمِ. لَمْ أَنْظُرْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِثْلَهَا فِي ٱلْقَبَاحَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] for ugliness.
| فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ وَٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلسَّمِينَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,
| فَدَخَلَتْ أَجْوَافَهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ فِي أَجْوَافِهَا، فَكَانَ مَنْظَرُهَا قَبِيحًا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ. | ٢١ 21 |
and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
| ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ طَالِعَةٌ فِي سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَحَسَنَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ يَابِسَةً رَقِيقَةً مَلْفُوحَةً بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ نَابِتَةٌ وَرَاءَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
| فَٱبْتَلَعَتِ ٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلسَّنَابِلَ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ. فَقُلْتُ لِلسَّحَرَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي». | ٢٤ 24 |
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «حُلْمُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَاحِدٌ. قَدْ أَخْبَرَ ٱللهُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِمَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Joseph [May he add] said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
| اَلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ، وَٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ. هُوَ حُلْمٌ وَاحِدٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
| وَٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلَّتِي طَلَعَتْ وَرَاءَهَا هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ، وَٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْفَارِغَةُ ٱلْمَلْفُوحَةُ بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ تَكُونُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ جُوعًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.
| هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُ بِهِ فِرْعَوْنَ. قَدْ أَظْهَرَ ٱللهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.
| هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سِنِينَ قَادِمَةٌ شِبَعًا عَظِيمًا فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| ثُمَّ تَقُومُ بَعْدَهَا سَبْعُ سِنِينَ جُوعًا، فَيُنْسَى كُلُّ ٱلشِّبَعِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَيُتْلِفُ ٱلْجُوعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. The famine will consume the land,
| وَلَا يُعْرَفُ ٱلشِّبَعُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجُوعِ بَعْدَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ شَدِيدًا جِدًّا. | ٣١ 31 |
and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
| وَأَمَّا عَنْ تَكْرَارِ ٱلْحُلْمِ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَلِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ مُقَرَّرٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ، وَٱللهُ مُسْرِعٌ لِيَصْنَعَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
| «فَٱلْآنَ لِيَنْظُرْ فِرْعَوْنُ رَجُلًا بَصِيرًا وَحَكِيمًا وَيَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| يَفْعَلْ فِرْعَوْنُ فَيُوَكِّلْ نُظَّارًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَأْخُذْ خُمْسَ غَلَّةِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي سَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
| فَيَجْمَعُونَ جَمِيعَ طَعَامِ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ ٱلْقَادِمَةِ، وَيَخْزِنُونَ قَمْحًا تَحْتَ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ طَعَامًا فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ وَيَحْفَظُونَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
| فَيَكُونُ ٱلطَّعَامُ ذَخِيرَةً لِلْأَرْضِ لِسَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلْجُوعِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَلَا تَنْقَرِضُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلْجُوعِ». | ٣٦ 36 |
The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]; that the land not perish through the famine.”
| فَحَسُنَ ٱلْكَلَامُ فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفِي عُيُونِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هَلْ نَجِدُ مِثْلَ هَذَا رَجُلًا فِيهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ؟» | ٣٨ 38 |
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the breath mind Spirit of God?”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «بَعْدَ مَا أَعْلَمَكَ ٱللهُ كُلَّ هَذَا، لَيْسَ بَصِيرٌ وَحَكِيمٌ مِثْلَكَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
Pharaoh said to Joseph [May he add], “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
| أَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَى بَيْتِي، وَعَلَى فَمِكَ يُقَبِّلُ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِي إِلَا إِنَّ ٱلْكُرْسِيَّ أَكُونُ فِيهِ أَعْظَمَ مِنْكَ». | ٤٠ 40 |
You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «ٱنْظُرْ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٤١ 41 |
Pharaoh said to Joseph [May he add], “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
| وَخَلَعَ فِرْعَوْنُ خَاتِمَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ ثِيَابَ بُوصٍ، وَوَضَعَ طَوْقَ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph [May he add]’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,
| وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ ٱلْثَّانِيَةِ، وَنَادَوْا أَمَامَهُ «ٱرْكَعُوا». وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «أَنَا فِرْعَوْنُ. فَبِدُونِكَ لَا يَرْفَعُ إِنْسَانٌ يَدَهُ وَلَا رِجْلَهُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٤٤ 44 |
Pharaoh said to Joseph [May he add], “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
| وَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ ٱسْمَ يُوسُفَ «صَفْنَاتَ فَعْنِيحَ»، وَأَعْطَاهُ أَسْنَاتَ بِنْتَ فُوطِي فَارَعَ كَاهِنِ أُونَ زَوْجَةً. فَخَرَجَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
Pharaoh called Joseph [May he add]’s name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph [May he add] went out over the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَقَفَ قُدَّامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ. فَخَرَجَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَٱجْتَازَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
Joseph [May he add] was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Joseph [May he add] went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| وَأَثْمَرَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فِي سَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ بِحُزَمٍ. | ٤٧ 47 |
In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
| فَجَمَعَ كُلَّ طَعَامِ ٱلسَّبْعِ سِنِينَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَجَعَلَ طَعَامًا فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ. طَعَامَ حَقْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّذِي حَوَالَيْهَا جَعَلَهُ فِيهَا. | ٤٨ 48 |
He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was around every city, he laid up in the same.
| وَخَزَنَ يُوسُفُ قَمْحًا كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، كَثِيرًا جِدًّا حَتَّى تَرَكَ ٱلْعَدَدَ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَدَدٌ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Joseph [May he add] laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
| وَوُلِدَ لِيُوسُفَ ٱبْنَانِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ سَنَةُ ٱلْجُوعِ، وَلَدَتْهُمَا لَهُ أَسْنَاتُ بِنْتُ فُوطِي فَارَعَ كَاهِنِ أُونَ. | ٥٠ 50 |
To Joseph [May he add] were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
| وَدَعَا يُوسُفُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْبِكْرِ «مَنَسَّى» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَنْسَانِي كُلَّ تَعَبِي وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِي». | ٥١ 51 |
Joseph [May he add] called the name of the firstborn Manasseh [Causing to forget], “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
| وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِى «أَفْرَايِمَ» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ جَعَلَنِي مُثْمِرًا فِي أَرْضِ مَذَلَّتِي». | ٥٢ 52 |
The name of the second, he called Ephraim [Fruit]: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
| ثُمَّ كَمِلَتْ سَبْعُ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], came to an end.
| وَٱبْتَدَأَتْ سَبْعُ سِنِي ٱلْجُوعِ تَأْتِي كَمَا قَالَ يُوسُفُ، فَكَانَ جُوعٌ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ. وَأَمَّا جَمِيعُ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فَكَانَ فِيهَا خُبْزٌ. | ٥٤ 54 |
The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph [May he add] had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] there was bread.
| وَلَمَّا جَاعَتْ جَمِيعُ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى يُوسُفَ، وَٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا». | ٥٥ 55 |
When all the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], “Go to Joseph [May he add]. What he says to you, do.”
| وَكَانَ ٱلْجُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَفَتَحَ يُوسُفُ جَمِيعَ مَا فِيهِ طَعَامٌ وَبَاعَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٥٦ 56 |
The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph [May he add] opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery]. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
| وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى مِصْرَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ لِتَشْتَرِيَ قَمْحًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ كَانَ شَدِيدًا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥٧ 57 |
All countries came into Egypt [Abode of slavery], to Joseph [May he add], to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
