1 Mosebog 41
1 Og det skete, der to Aar vare omme, da drømte Farao, og se, han stod ved Floden.
It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
2 Og se, af Floden opsteg syv Køer, skønne af Udseende og fede paa Kød, og aade i Engen.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
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.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, undesirable and thin. They stood by the other cows on the bank 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 the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Og han faldt i Søvn og drømte anden Gang, og se, syv Aks voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
6 Og se, syv Aks, tynde og svedne af Østenvinden, skøde op efter dem.
Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Og de magre Aks opslugte de syv fede og fulde Aks; da vaagnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, and, behold, 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.
It came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled. He sent and called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Da talede den øverste Mundskænk til Farao og sagde: Jeg ihukommer i Dag min Synd.
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
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 angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
11 Da drømte vi en Drøm i een Nat, jeg og han; vi drømte, hver efter sin Drøms Udtydning.
We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his 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.
There was with us there a young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted for us our dreams. He interpreted for each of us according to his dream.
13 Og det skete, ligesom han udtydede os det, saa skete det; mig satte man i mit Sted igen, og ham hængte man.
It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one 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 Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to 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.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but there is no interpreter for it. But I have heard about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 Og Josef svarede Farao og sagde: Det staar ikke til mig; Gud skal svare Farao godt.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
17 Da sagde Farao til Josef: Der jeg drømte, se, da stod jeg paa Bredden af Floden.
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
18 Og se, syv Køer opstege af Floden, fede paa Kød og skønne af Skikkelse, og de aade i Engen.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
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.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them, weak, very undesirable, and thin. I never saw in all the land of Egypt such undesirableness like them.
20 Og de magre og stygge Køer aade de syv første fede Køer.
The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
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.
When they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, for they were still as undesirable as before. Then I awoke.
22 Og jeg saa, der jeg drømte, og se, syv Aks, som voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 Og se, efter dem skøde syv tørre Aks frem, som vare tynde og svedne af Østenvinden.
Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang 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.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but there was none that could explain it to me.”
25 Og Josef sagde til Farao: Faraos Drøm, den er een: Gud giver Farao til Kende, hvad han vil gøre.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared 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 cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
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.
The seven thin and undesirable cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven thin heads scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
28 Det er det Ord, som jeg har sagt Farao: Gud lader Farao se, hvad han vil gøre.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
29 Se, der kommer syv Aar med stor Overflødighed i hele Ægyptens Land.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout 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.
Seven years of famine will come after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will devastate the land.
31 Og der skal ikke vides af den Overflødighed i Landet for den Hunger, som kommer derefter; thi den bliver meget svar.
The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will 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.
That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
33 Saa se nu Farao sig om efter en forstandig og viis Mand, som han kan sætte over Ægyptens Land.
Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put 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 appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant years.
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.
Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, for food to be used in the cities. They should preserve 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.
The food will be a supply for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in the land of Egypt. In this way the land will not be devastated by the famine.”
37 Og denne Tale var god for Faraos Øjne og for alle hans Tjeneres Øjne.
This advice 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?
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, 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 to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
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.
You will be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Se, jeg har sat dig over alt Ægyptens Land.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you 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
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand. He clothed him with clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain on 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.
He had him ride in the second chariot which he possessed. Men shouted before him, “Bend the knee.” Pharaoh put 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.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man will lift 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.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name “Zaphenath-Paneah.” He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as a wife. Joseph went out 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.
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Og Landet bar i Hobetal i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
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.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put into each city the food from the fields that surrounded it.
49 Saa samlede Josef Korn som Havets Sand, overmaade meget, indtil han lod af at tælle; thi der var ikke Tal derpaa.
Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
50 Og før Hungerens Aar kom, blev der født Josef to Sønner, hvilke Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, fødte ham.
Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Og Josef kaldte den førstefødtes Navn Manasse; „thi Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og alt min Faders Hus‟.
Joseph called the name of his firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household.”
52 Og den andens Navn kaldte han Efraim; „thi Gud har gjort mig frugtbar i min Elendigheds Land‟.
He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Og de syv Overflødigheds Aar endte, som vare i Ægyptens Land.
The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
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.
The seven years of famine began, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
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.
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people loudly called on Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he says.”
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.
The famine was over all the face of the whole land. Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in 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 was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
