< Genesis 41 >

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