1 Mosebog 41
1 Og det skete, der to Aar vare omme, da drømte Farao, og se, han stod ved Floden.
And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
2 Og se, af Floden opsteg syv Køer, skønne af Udseende og fede paa Kød, og aade i Engen.
and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
3 Og se, syv andre Køer opstege efter disse af Floden, stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, og stode hos de andre Køer paa Bredden af Floden.
And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
4 Og de Køer, som vare stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, opaade de syv Køer, som vare skønne af Udseende og fede; saa vaagnede Farao.
Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 Og han faldt i Søvn og drømte anden Gang, og se, syv Aks voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
6 Og se, syv Aks, tynde og svedne af Østenvinden, skøde op efter dem.
and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
7 Og de magre Aks opslugte de syv fede og fulde Aks; da vaagnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.
Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
8 Og det skete om Morgenen, da var hans Aand bekymret, og han sendte hen og lod kalde alle Spaamænd i Ægypten og alle de vise derudi, og Farao fortalte dem sin Drøm; men der var ingen, som udtydede Farao den.
And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
9 Da talede den øverste Mundskænk til Farao og sagde: Jeg ihukommer i Dag min Synd.
Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
10 Farao var vred paa sine Tjenere og lod mig sætte i Fængsel udi Huset hos den øverste for Livvagten, mig og den øverste Bager.
Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
11 Da drømte vi en Drøm i een Nat, jeg og han; vi drømte, hver efter sin Drøms Udtydning.
Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
12 Og der var hos os en hebraisk ung Karl, en Tjener hos den øverste for Livvagten, og ham fortalte vi, og han udtydede os vore Drømme; hver efter sin Drøm udtydede han det.
And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
13 Og det skete, ligesom han udtydede os det, saa skete det; mig satte man i mit Sted igen, og ham hængte man.
And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
14 Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde Josef, og de lode ham straks ud af Hulen, og han lod sig rage og førte sig i andre Klæder og kom til Farao.
Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 Da sagde Farao til Josef: Jeg drømte en Drøm, og ingen er der, som kan udtyde den; men jeg har hørt sige om dig, at naar du hører en Drøm, kan du udtyde den.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
16 Og Josef svarede Farao og sagde: Det staar ikke til mig; Gud skal svare Farao godt.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
17 Da sagde Farao til Josef: Der jeg drømte, se, da stod jeg paa Bredden af Floden.
Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
18 Og se, syv Køer opstege af Floden, fede paa Kød og skønne af Skikkelse, og de aade i Engen.
When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
19 Og se, efter dem opstege syv andre Køer, tynde og saare stygge af Skikkelse og magre paa Kød; jeg har ikke set saa stygge som dem i hele Ægyptens Land.
And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
20 Og de magre og stygge Køer aade de syv første fede Køer.
Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
21 Og der de havde opædt dem, kendtes det dog ikke paa dem, at de havde opædt dem, og de vare stygge at se til ligesom tilforn; og jeg vaagnede.
and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 Og jeg saa, der jeg drømte, og se, syv Aks, som voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
23 Og se, efter dem skøde syv tørre Aks frem, som vare tynde og svedne af Østenvinden.
And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
24 Og de tynde Aks opslugte de syv gode Aks; og jeg har sagt Spaamændene det, men ingen kan udtyde mig det.
Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
25 Og Josef sagde til Farao: Faraos Drøm, den er een: Gud giver Farao til Kende, hvad han vil gøre.
Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
26 De syv gode Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv gode Aks, de ere syv Aar, det er een Drøm.
The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
27 Og de syv magre og stygge Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv tomme Aks, svedne af Østenvinden, skulle være syv Hungers Aar.
And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
28 Det er det Ord, som jeg har sagt Farao: Gud lader Farao se, hvad han vil gøre.
The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
29 Se, der kommer syv Aar med stor Overflødighed i hele Ægyptens Land.
Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
30 Og syv Hungers Aar skulle komme efter dem, at al den Overflødighed skal glemmes i Ægyptens Land, og Hungeren skal fortære Landet.
Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
31 Og der skal ikke vides af den Overflødighed i Landet for den Hunger, som kommer derefter; thi den bliver meget svar.
neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
32 Men at Farao har drømt igen anden Gang betyder, at det skal visselig ske af Gud, og Gud skal snarlig gøre dette.
And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
33 Saa se nu Farao sig om efter en forstandig og viis Mand, som han kan sætte over Ægyptens Land.
Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Dette gøre Farao, og han beskikke Tilsynsmænd over Landet og tage den femte Del af Ægyptens Land i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
35 Og de skulle samle alle Haande Spise udi disse tilkommende gode Aar og sanke Korn under Faraos Haand til Spise, i Stæderne, og de skulle forvare det.
And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
36 Og den Spise skal være beskikket for Landet til de syv Hungerens Aar, som skulle komme over Ægyptens Land, at Landet ikke skal ødelægges af Hunger.
So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
37 Og denne Tale var god for Faraos Øjne og for alle hans Tjeneres Øjne.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
38 Og Farao sagde til sine Tjenere: Mon vi kunne finde nogen som denne, en Mand, i hvem Guds Aand er?
and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
39 Og Farao sagde til. Josef: Efterdi Gud har ladet dig vide alt dette, da er ingen saa forstandig og viis som du.
So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
40 Du skal være over mit Hus, og alt mit Folk skal være dine Ord lydigt; alene ved Tronen vil jeg være større end du.
Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
41 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Se, jeg har sat dig over alt Ægyptens Land.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 Og Farao tog sin Ring af sin Haand og satte den paa Josefs Haand og lod ham føre i kostelige Linklæder og hængte en Guldkæde om hans Hals
So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
43 og lod ham age paa sin anden Vogn, og de raabte for ham: Abrek; og han satte ham over hele Ægyptens Land.
and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Jeg er Farao; og uden din Villie skal ingen Mand opløfte sin Haand eller sin Fod i hele Ægyptens Land.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 Og Farao kaldte Josefs Navn Zafnath Panea og gav ham Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, til Hustru; saa drog Josef ud over Ægyptens Land.
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
46 Og Josef var tredive Aar gammel, der han stod for Farao, Kongen i Ægypten; og Josef gik ud fra Farao og rejste igennem hele Ægyptens Land.
Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
47 Og Landet bar i Hobetal i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
48 Og han samlede al Spise i de syv Aar, som vare i Ægyptens Land, og lagde Spise i Stæderne; hvad der voksede paa Markerne omkring hver Stad til Spise, det lagde han derudi.
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
49 Saa samlede Josef Korn som Havets Sand, overmaade meget, indtil han lod af at tælle; thi der var ikke Tal derpaa.
Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
50 Og før Hungerens Aar kom, blev der født Josef to Sønner, hvilke Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, fødte ham.
Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
51 Og Josef kaldte den førstefødtes Navn Manasse; „thi Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og alt min Faders Hus‟.
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
52 Og den andens Navn kaldte han Efraim; „thi Gud har gjort mig frugtbar i min Elendigheds Land‟.
And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
53 Og de syv Overflødigheds Aar endte, som vare i Ægyptens Land.
Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
54 Og de syv Hungerens Aar begyndte at komme, som Josef havde sagt, og der var Hunger i alle Landene, men der var Brød i det hele Ægyptens Land.
and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
55 Der hele Ægyptens Land led Hunger, da raabte Folket til Farao om Brød; men Farao sagde til alle Ægyptere: Gaar til Josef, hvad han siger eder, skulle I gøre.
Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
56 Der Hungeren var i hele Landet, da oplod Josef alle Steder, hvor noget var, og solgte Ægypterne Korn; thi Hungeren tog Overhaand i Ægyptens Land.
Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
57 Og fra alle Lande kom man til Ægypten for at købe hos Josef; thi Hungeren var meget svar i alle Lande.
All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
