Genesis 41
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
Dezan te fin pase. Farawon an fè yon rèv. Li wè li te kanpe bò larivyè Nil la.
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Li wè sèt bèl vach byen gra moute soti nan larivyè a, yo t'ap manje zèb bò dlo a.
3 After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
Apre sa, sèt lòt vach tout lèd, tout mèg, moute soti nan dlo a tou. Yo vin kanpe toupre lòt vach yo, bò dlo a.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
Sèt vye vach mèg yo manje sèt bèl vach gra yo. Epi je farawon an vin klè.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Dòmi pran l' ankò, li fè yon lòt rèv. Li wè sèt gwo grap ble ki t'ap pouse sou yon sèl pye ble. Yo te plen grenn, yo te mi.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
Apre sa, sèt lòt grap vin parèt sou menm pye ble a. Yo te chèch, van nòde te fin boule yo.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
Sèt grap chèch yo souse sèt bèl grap yo. Epi je farawon an vin klè ankò. Se rèv sa yo li te fè.
8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Nan maten, li te boulvèse anpil, li voye chache dènye divinò ak nèg save ki nan peyi Lejip la. Li rakonte yo rèv la, men yo yonn pa t' kapab esplike rèv la ba li.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Se lè sa a, chèf kanbiz la di farawon an: -Koulye a mwen chonje mwen te fè yon fòt.
10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
Yon jou, monwa, ou te ankòlè sou sèvitè ou yo. Ou te fè mete yo nan prizon lakay kòmandan gad palè ou la. Se te mwen menm, chèf kanbiz ou a, ansanm ak chèf boulanje ou la.
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Yon jou lannwit, nou tout de nou reve. Chak moun te fè yon rèv diferan. Chak rèv te gen sans pa l'.
12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
Te gen yon jenn ebre avèk nou nan prizon an. Se te yon esklav kòmandan gad palè a. Nou rakonte l' rèv nou yo. Epi li esplike yo ban nou, li bay chak moun sans rèv li te fè a.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
tout bagay pase jan li te di a: Sou twa jou vre, farawon an te mete m' nan plas mwen ankò. Pou chèf boulanje a menm, li te fè pann li.
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
Farawon an voye chache Jozèf. Yo fè l' soti byen vit nan prizon an. Jozèf fè labab, li koupe cheve l', li chanje rad, epi li parèt devan farawon an.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Farawon an di Jozèf konsa: -Mwen fè yon rèv, pesonn pa ka di m' sa l' vle di. Men yo di m' depi yo rakonte ou yon rèv, ou ka esplike l'.
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
Jozèf reponn farawon an: -Se pa mwen menm non! Se Bondye ki pral bay farawon an esplikasyon rèv la.
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Farawon an di: -Mwen reve mwen te kanpe bò larivyè Nil la.
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Konsa, sèt bèl vach byen gra te moute soti nan larivyè a, yo t'ap manje zèb bò dlo a.
19 After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
Apre sa, sèt lòt vach tout mèg, tout lèd, tout chèch te moute soti nan dlo a dèyè lòt yo. Mwen poko janm wè vye vach lèd konsa nan tout peyi Lejip la.
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
Vye vach mèg yo manje bèl vach gra yo.
21 When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
Lè yo te fin vale yo, se tankou si yo pa t' janm manje. Yo te rete menm jan yo te ye anvan an. Epi je m' vin klè.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
Apre sa, mwen fè yon lòt rèv. Mwen wè sèt grap ble byen plen, byen mi ki t'ap pouse ansanm sou yon sèl pye ble a.
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
Apre sa, sèt lòt grap parèt dèyè yo. Yo te chèch, van nòde te fin boule yo.
24 And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
Grap mèg yo souse sèt bèl grap yo. Mwen rakonte rèv yo bay divinò yo, men yo yonn pa t' kapab esplike yo ban mwen.
25 At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Jozèf di farawon an: -tout de rèv yo vle di menm bagay la: Bondye fè ou konnen sa li pral fè.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
Sèt vach gra yo, se sèt lanne. Sèt bèl grap yo se sèt lanne tou. Yo vle di menm bagay.
27 Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
Sèt vach tout mèg, tout lèd ki vin apre lòt yo, se sèt lanne. Sèt grap ble boule yo, se sèt lanne tou. Sa vle di pral gen sèt lanne grangou.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Se jan m' sot di farawon an: Bondye vle fè ou konnen sa li pral fè.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Pandan sèt lanne pral gen bèl rekòt nan tout peyi Lejip la.
30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
Apre sa, pral gen sèt lanne grangou. Lè sa a, moun pral bliye tout bèl rekòt yo te fè nan peyi a. Grangou pral fini nèt ak peyi a.
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
Grangou ki pral tonbe sou peyi a pral rèd anpil. Moun p'ap wè tras rekòt ki te fèt nan peyi a.
32 Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
Si farawon an fè menm rèv la de fwa, sa vle di Bondye gen tan fin fè plan l' nèt. Se yon bagay Bondye pral fè talè konsa.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
Koulye a, se pou farawon an chwazi yon moun ki gen lespri ak bon konprann pou l' mete l' chèf sou tout peyi Lejip la.
34 Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
Se pou ou mete chèf toupatou nan peyi Lejip la, pou yo ranmase yon senkyèm nan tout rekòt ki pral fèt pandan sèt bon lanne yo.
35 Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
Se pou yo ranmase pwovizyon pandan tout lanne ki pral vini yo. Se pou farawon an ba yo otorite pou yo anpile pwovizyon yo nan depo nan chak vil, lèfini pou yo veye yo.
36 This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
Konsa, pwovizyon sa yo va sèvi yon rezèv pou peyi a pandan sèt lanne grangou k'ap vin tonbe apre sa sou peyi Lejip, pou grangou pa fini ak peyi a.
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
Farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo te tonbe dakò ak sa Jozèf te di a.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
Farawon an di moun pa l' yo: -Ki bò nou ka jwenn yon moun ki gen lespri Bondye sou li tankou nonm sa a?
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Farawon an di Jozèf: -Gade tout bagay Bondye fè ou konnen! Pa gen pesonn ki gen plis lespri, osinon plis bon konprann pase ou.
40 You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
M'ap mete ou chèf sou tout peyi mwen an. Se pou tout moun nan peyi a obeyi ou. Se sèlman paske mwen wa kifè mwen menm m'a pi gwo chèf pase ou.
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Apre sa, farawon an di Jozèf: -Gade, m'ap mete ou chèf pou gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la.
42 Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
Li wete gwo bag ki te nan dwèt li a, li mete l' nan dwèt Jozèf. Li abiye l' ak yon rechanj fèt ak bèl twal fen. Li pase yon chenn an lò nan kou l'.
43 He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
Li fè l' moute sou yon cha. Se te pi bèl cha nan tout peyi a apre cha wa a. Li bay gad onè ki t'ap mache devan Jozèf yo lòd pou yo di byen fè: Abrèk. Se konsa farawon an te mete Jozèf chèf sou tout peyi Lejip la.
44 And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
Farawon an di Jozèf: -Se mwen menm farawon an k'ap pale avèk ou. Pesonn pa gen dwa fè anyen ni al ankenn kote nan peyi Lejip san pèmisyon ou.
45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
Farawon an rele Jozèf Safna-Paneak. Li pran Asnat, pitit fi Potifera, yon prèt lavil On, li bay Jozèf li pou madanm. Jozèf al vizite tout peyi Lejip la.
46 Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
Jozèf te gen trantan lè li te konmanse sèvi farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Li pati, li vwayaje toupatou nan peyi Lejip la.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
Pandan sèt bon lanne yo, tè a te bay anpil anpil rekòt.
48 During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
Jozèf ranmase pwovizyon pandan sèt lanne bon rekòt yo nan tout peyi a, li mete yo nan depo nan lavil yo. Chak lavil te gen kont depo pou sere tout sa jaden alantou yo te bay.
49 So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
Li ranmase ble, li ranmase ble tankou ou ta di sab bò lanmè. Sitèlman te gen anpil ble, yo pa t' ka konnen kantite ki te genyen.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Anvan lanne grangou yo mete pye, Jozèf te gen tan gen de pitit ak Asnat, pitit fi Potifera, prèt lavil On an.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
Jozèf rele premye a Manase paske li t'ap di nan kè l': Bondye fè m' bliye tout soufrans mwen ansanm ak moun lakay papa m' yo.
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Li rele dezyèm lan Efrayim paske li t'ap di nan kè l': Bondye fè m' fè pitit nan peyi kote m'ap soufri a.
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Sèt bon lanne rekòt yo te fin pase nan peyi Lejip la.
54 the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
Sèt lanne grangou yo te konmanse jan Jozèf te di a. Grangou t'ap bat nan tout lòt peyi yo tou, men te gen manje toujou nan tout peyi Lejip la.
55 When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
Men, yon lè grangou konmanse mete pye nan peyi Lejip la tou. Pèp la menm pran rele nan zòrèy farawon an, y'ap mande manje. Farawon an di moun peyi Lejip yo: -Al jwenn Jozèf. Se li menm ki va di nou sa pou nou fè.
56 When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Lè grangou a te toupatou nan peyi Lejip la, Jozèf louvri tout depo yo. Li vann moun peyi Lejip yo ble, paske grangou a te rèd anpil nan peyi Lejip la.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Moun soti toupatou nan tout lòt peyi yo vin achte ble nan men Jozèf nan peyi Lejip, paske grangou a te rèd anpil toupatou sou latè.
