Chakruok 41
1 Kane higni ariyo osekadho, Farao noleko lekni ochungʼ e bath aora Nael,
After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
2 kendo noneno dhok abiriyo mabeyo machwe kawuok ei aora kakwayo e kind odundu.
Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
3 Bangʼ mano noneno dhok abiriyo mamoko maricho modhero kowuok ei aora Nael, kendo kochungʼ e bath mago mabeyo.
Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
4 To dhok maricho kendo modherogo nochamo dhok mabeyo machwego. Eka Farao nochiewo.
And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
5 Nindo nochako otere mi ochako oleko lek machielo ni noneno wiye abiriyo mag cham machwe kendo beyo kochiek e tiangʼ achiel.
He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
6 Bangʼ mano wi cham moko abiriyo motho kendo ma yamb oro otwoyo nowuok ewi tiangʼno.
Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
7 Wiye cham abiriyo mothogo nomwonyo wiye cham abiriyo machwe ka. Eka Farao nochiewo, moyudo ni en mana lek.
And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
8 Kinyne gokinyi pache nochandore, kuom mano nooro mondo oluongne ajuoke duto kod jorieko duto mag Misri. Farao nonyisogi lekne, to onge ngʼato angʼata mane nyalo lokone tiend lekgo.
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
9 Eka jatend jogam divai nowacho ne Farao niya, “Aparo kethona kawuono.
Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
10 Chiengʼ moro kane iyi owangʼ kod wan ma jotichni, kendo ne irwakowa e od twech kaachiel gi jatend joted makati e od jatend askeche.
The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
11 Waduto ne waleko lek otieno moro achiel, kendo lek ka lek ne nigi tiende.
Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
12 To ne nitie ja-Hibrania moro matin kodwa, jatich jaduongʼ askeche. Ne wanyise lekwa, kendo nolokonwa tiendgi, ka omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato tiend lekne.
There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
13 Kendo notimore mana kaka ne olokonwa tiendgi kama: An niduoka e tija, to jatend joted makati nolierie yath.”
And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
14 Kane Farao owinjo kamano nooro wach mondo okelne Josef, kendo nokel Josef mapiyo nono koa e od twech. Kane Josef oselielo yie wiye kendo oloko lepe, nobiro e nyim Farao.
Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
15 Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Nende aleko lek, kendo onge ngʼama nyalo loko tiende. To asewinjo ka iwacho ni ka iwinjo lek to inyalo loko tiend lek moro amora.”
And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
16 Josef nodwoko Farao niya, “Ok anyal time, to Nyasaye biro dwoki kaka odwaro.”
Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
17 Eka Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Ne aleko nine achungʼ e bath aora Nael,
So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
18 kendo dhok abiriyo mabeyo kendo machwe nowuok ei aora ka gikwayo e kind odundu.
And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
19 Bangʼ-gi dhok abiriyo mamoko maricho kendo odhero nowuok. Ne pok anenoe dhok maricho kendo modhero kamano e piny Misri duto.
And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
20 Dhok abiriyo maricho kendo odherogo nochamo dhok abiriyo machwe kendo mabeyo mane okwongo wuok.
And they devoured and consumed the former,
21 To kata bangʼ kane gisechamogi, to onge ngʼato angʼata mane nyalo yie ni gin ema gichamo dhogo; ne ginenore modhero moloyo kaka ne gin mokwongo. Bangʼe ne achiewo.
And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
22 “Nachako aneno e lek wiye cham abiriyo mochiek maber kadongʼ e tiangʼ achiel.
And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
23 Bangʼ-gi ne achako aneno wi cham abiriyo motho kendo yamb oro otwoyo.
Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
24 Wiye cham abiriyo mothogo nomwonyo wiye cham abiriyo mochiek. Ne anyiso ajuoke, to onge ngʼato mane nyalo lokona tiendgi.”
And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
25 Eka Josef nowacho ne Farao niya, “Leknigo tiendgi achiel kendo gichalre. Nyasaye osenyiso gima oikore timo.
Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
26 Dhok abiriyo mabeyogo gin higni abiriyo, kendo wiye cham abiriyo mochiek mabeyogo bende gin higni abiriyo; giduto gin lek achiel kendo nyiso wach achiel.
The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
27 Dhok abiriyo maricho modhero mane obiro bangʼe nyiso higni abiriyo, kendo kamano e kaka wiye cham abiriyo motho ma yamb oro otwoyo; gin higni abiriyo mag kech.
And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
28 “En mana kaka awachoni ni Nyasaye osenyiso Farao gima obiro timo.
Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
29 Higni abiriyo biro betie ma piny Misri duto nobedie gi yiengʼo ahinya,
Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
30 to bangʼ mano higni abiriyo moko nobedie mag kech kendo wi ji nowil gi higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri, kendo kech noketh piny.
After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
31 Higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo ok nopar, nikech kech mano luweno nobed malich miwuoro.
And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
32 Gima omiyo lek nobiro ne Farao nyadiriyo en nikech Nyasaye osechano ratiro mar timo kamano. Kendo Nyasaye biro chope mapiyo.
And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
33 “Koro mondo Farao oyier ngʼat mariek kendo molony e gik moko duto motimo mondo okete jatend piny Misri.
Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
34 Farao nyaka ket jotend gwenge e piny Misri duto mondo ochoki achiel kuom abich mag chamb Misri kuom higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo.
That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
35 Nyaka gichok kendo gikan e mier madongo chiemo duto moyudi e higni abiriyo mag yiengʼogo e bwo chik Farao.
That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
36 Cham-go onego okan e kuonde keno mag pinyni, mondo obi otigo e higni abiriyo mag kech mabiro mako piny Misri, mondo mi kik kech keth piny.”
And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
37 Parono nonenore maber ni Farao kod jodonge duto.
The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
38 Kuom mano Farao nopenjo jodonge niya, “Bende wanyalo yudo ngʼato moro machal gi ngʼatni, ma Roho mar Nyasaye ni kuome?”
And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
39 Eka Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Nikech Nyasaye osenyisi wechegi duto, onge ngʼat man-gi ngʼeyo matut kendo riek ka in.
He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
40 Abiro keti jatend od ruoth kendo joga duto biro winjo chikni kendo kom duongʼ mar ruoth ema nobed maduongʼ moloyi.”
Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
41 Kuom mano Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Ne, koro aseketi jatend piny Misri duto.”
And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
42 Eka Farao nogolo tere mar loch e lwete morwako e lwet Josef. Ne orwako ne Josef law mayom mar duongʼ miluongo ni bafta kendo orwako ne tigo mar dhahabu e ngʼute.
And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
43 Nomiyo oidho gach ruoth mar ariyo mar loch, kendo joritne nogoyo koko nyime kawacho niya, “Yawneuru e yo!” Kuom mano Josef noket jatend piny Misri duto.
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
44 Eka Farao nomiyo Josef teko kowachone niya, “An e ruoth, kendo onge ngʼama notim gimoro kata nodonji e piny Misri ma ok in ema iyiene.”
And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 Farao nochako Josef ni Zafenath-Panea kendo nomiye Asenath nyar Potifera jadolo mar On (ma nyinge machielo en Eliopolis), mondo obed chiege. Kendo Josef nowuotho e piny Misri duto.
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
46 Josef ne en ja-higni piero adek kane ochako tich mane Farao ruodh Misri omiye. Kendo Josef nowuok ir Farao mowuotho e piny Misri duto.
(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
47 E kinde mag higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo, piny nochiek ahinya.
And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
48 Josef nochoko chiemo duto mane ochiek e higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri kendo okanogi e mier madongo. Nokano cham mochiek e puothe molworogi e dala ka dala maduongʼ.
And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
49 Josef nokano cham mathoth mana ka kuoyo mane dho nam; ne githoth mane ok onyal kwano nikech negikadho akwana.
And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
50 Kane pok higni mag kech ochopo, Asenath nyar Potifera ma jadolo mar On nonywolone Josef yawuowi ariyo.
And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
51 Josef nochako wuode makayo ni Manase kendo nowacho niya, “Ma en nikech Nyasaye osemiyo wiya owil gi chandruokna duto kod jood wuora duto.”
And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
52 Wuowi mar ariyo nochako ni Efraim kendo nowacho niya, “Ma en nikech Nyasaye osemiyo anya e piny mar chandruokna.”
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
53 Higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri norumo,
Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
54 kendo higni abiriyo mag kech nochakore, mana kaka Josef nosewacho. Ne nitie kech e pinje mamoko, to piny Misri duto ne nitie chiemo.
The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
55 Ka kech nodonjo e piny Misri duto, ji noywak ne Farao mondo omigi chiemo. Eka Farao nonyiso jo-Misri duto niya, “Dhiuru ir Josef kendo utim gima owachonu.”
And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
56 Kane kech koro oselandore e piny duto, Josef noyawo deche duto kendo nouso cham ne jo-Misri, nikech kech ne lich ahinya e pinyno Misri duto.
And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
57 Kendo pinje duto nobiro Misri mondo ongʼiew chiemo kuom Josef, nikech kech ne ngʼeny ahinya e piny mangima.
And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
