Genesis 41
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
Ary rehefa afaka roa taona mipaka, dia nanonofy Farao, fa, indro, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily izy.
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy niakatra avy teo Neily ka nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata.
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.
Ary indreo, nisy ombivavy fito hafa kosa ratsy tarehy sady mahia niakatra avy teo Neily nanaraka azy, ka dia nijanona teo anilan’ ireo ombivavy teo amoron’ i Neily.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
Ary ireo ombivavy ratsy tarehy sady mahia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy. Dia nahatsiaro Farao.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Ary natory indray izy ka nanonofy fanindroany; ary, indro, nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
Ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito maivam-boa sady main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
Ary ny salohim-bary maivam-boa nitelina ny salohim-vary fito vokatra sy be voa. Dia nahatsiaro Farao, koa indro fa nofy ihany izany.
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.
Ary nony maraina, dia nitebiteby ny fanahiny, ka dia naniraka nampaka ny ombiasy rehetra tao Egypta sy ny olon-kendry rehetra tao izy; ary nambaran’ i Farao tamin’ ireny ny nofiny, kanjo tsy nisy na dia iray aza nahalaza izay heviny tamin’ i Farao.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Dia niteny tamin’ i Farao ilay lehiben’ ny mpitondra kapoaka ka nanao hoe: Tsaroako izao ny fahadisoako:
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.
Farao dia tezitra tamin’ ny mpanompony ka nanao ahy tao an-trano-maizina tao anatin’ ny tranon’ ny mpifehy ny mpiambina, dia izaho sy ilay lehiben’ ny mpanao mofo.
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Ary nanonofy izahay indray alina, dia izaho sy izy; samy nanonofy araka ny hevitry ny nofinay avy izahay.
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.
Ary tao aminay dia nisy zatovo Hebreo anankiray, mpanompon’ ny mpifehy ny mpiambina; dia nambaranay taminy ny nofinay, ka nolazainy taminay ny heviny; samy nilazany araka ny nofinay avy izahay.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
Ary samy tonga araka izay efa nolazainy taminay indrindra izany: izaho nampodiny ho ao amin’ ilay nipetrahako, fa izy kosa nahantony.
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.
Dia naniraka Farao ka nampaka an’ i Josefa, dia nalaina faingana niala tao an-davaka izy; ary nanaratra ny volom-bavany sy niova fitafiana izy, dia nankany amin’ i Farao.
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.”
Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Nanonofy aho, koa tsy misy mahalaza ny heviny; ary izaho nahare fa ianao, hono, raha mandre nofy, dia mahalaza ny heviny.
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
Ary Josefa dia namaly an’ i Farao ka nanao hoe: Tsy ahy izany; Andriamanitra no hilaza izay valiny hiadanan’ i Farao.
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Nofiko fa indro, hono, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily aho;
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito matavy sady tsara tarehy niakatra avy teo Neily; ary nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata ireny.
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!
Ary, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito hafa koa niakatra nanaraka ireny, mihozohozo sady ratsy tarehy indrindra no mahia, ka tsy mbola hitako izay ratsy toa azy teto amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
Ary ireo ombivavy fito mahia sady ratsy tarehy dia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito matavy izay nialoha azy.
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.
Ary rehefa nihinana azy izy, dia tsy fantatra akory fa efa mby ao an-kibony ireny; fa mbola ratsy tarehy tahaka ny tamin’ ny fahiny ihany izy. Dia nahatsiaro aho.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
Ary hitako tamin’ ny nofiko indray, ka, indreo nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara;
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito sady malazo no maivam-boa, main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny;
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.”
ary ny salohim-bary maivam-boa dia nitelina ny salohim-bary fito vokatra. Ary nolazaiko tamin’ ny ombiasy izany, nefa tsy nisy nahalaza ny heviny tamiko.
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.
Ary hoy Josefa tamin’ i Farao: Ny nofin’ i Farao dia iray ihany; izay efa hataon’ Andriamanitra no nambarany tamin’ i Farao.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
Ny ombivavy fito tsara tarehy dia fito taona; ary ny salohim-bary fito vokatra koa dia fito taona; iray ihany ny nofy.
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.
Ary ny ombivavy fito mahia sady ratsy tarehy, izay niakatra nanaraka ireny, dia fito taona; ary ny salohim-bary fito tsy nisy voa sady main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, dia ho fito taona mosarena.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Izany dia ilay efa nolazaiko tamin’ i Farao teo hoe: Izay efa hataon’ Andriamanitra no asehony amin’ i Farao.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Indro, hisy fito taona zina indrindra eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra;
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.
ary manaraka izany kosa dia hisy fito taona mosarena, ka ho hadino ny fahavokarana be rehetra teo amin’ ny tany Egypta ary ho ritry ny mosary ny tany;
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
ary ny fahavokarana eo amin’ ny tany tsy ho fantatra noho izany mosary manaraka azy izany; fa ho mafy indrindra izany.
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.
Ary naverina indroa ny nofin’ i Farao, satria efa voatendrin’ Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany ka hotanterahin’ Andriamanitra faingana.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
Koa ankehitriny aoka Farao hizaha lehilahy manan-tsaina sady hendry ka hanendry azy hanapaka ny tany Egypta.
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.
Aoka hanao izany Farao, ary aoka izy hanendry mpikarakara hitandrina ny tany sy hamory ny ampahadimin’ ny vokatry ny tany Egypta amin’ ny taon-jina fito.
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.
Ary aoka izy ireo hanangona ny hanina rehetra amin’ ireo taona tsara ho avy ireo ka hamory vary be amin’ ny anaran’ i Farao ho fihinana any amin’ ny tanana maro, ka aoka hitahiry izany izy
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.”
Ary aoka izany hanina izany hotehirizina ao amin’ ny tany ho amin’ ny fito taona mosarena, izay ho tonga amin’ ny tany Egypta, mba tsy ho simban’ ny mosary ny tany.
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
Ary sitrak’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony rehetra izany hevitra izany.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
Dia hoy Farao tamin’ ny mpanompony: Hahita lehilahy tahaka io, izay manana ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ao anatiny, va isika?
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.
Ary hoy koa Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Satria efa nampahafantarin’ Andriamanitra anao izany rehetra izany, dia tsy misy lehilahy manan-tsaina sady hendry tahaka anao;
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.”
koa ianao no hanapaka ny ato an-tranoko, ary araka ny teninao no hitondrana ny oloko rehetra; ny seza fiandrianana ihany no hahalehibe ahy noho ianao.
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Ary hoy indray Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Indro, efa nanendry anao hanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra aho.
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.
Dia nesorin’ i Farao ny peratra tamin’ ny tanany ka nataony tamin’ ny tànan’ i Josefa, dia nampitafiny rongony fotsy madinika izy, ary nasiany rojo volamena ny vozony;
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.
dia nampitaingeniny teo anatin’ ny kalesiny faharoa izy, ary ny vahoaka niantso teo alohany nanao hoe: Mandohaleha; ary notendreny ho mpanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra izy.
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.”
Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Izaho no Farao, ary raha tsy teninao, dia tsy hisy olona hanetsika ny tànany na ny tongony eto amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
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.
Ary nataon’ i Farao hoe Zafenata-panea no anaran’ i Josefa; dia nomeny azy Asenata, zanakavavin’ i Poti-fera, mpisorona tao Ona, ho vadiny. Ary Josefa nandeha nitety ny tany Egypta.
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.
Ary efa telo-polo taona Josefa, raha niseho teo anatrehan’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta. Dia niala teo anatrehan’ i Farao Josefa ka nandeha nitety ny tany Egypta rehetra.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
Ary ny tany dia nahavokatra tsy omby fàmpana tamin’ ny taon-jina fito.
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.
Dia namory ny hanina rehetra tamin’ izany fito taona izany teo amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ka nitahiry izany tao amin’ ny tanàna rehetra: ny vokatry ny saha manodidina ny isan-tanàna dia notehiriziny tao anatin’ ny tanàna.
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.
Ary Josefa namory vary tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, eny, be indrindra, ka tsy nanisa intsony izy, satria efa tsy hita isa.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Ary nisy zazalahy roa naterak’ i Asenata, zanakavavin’ i Poti-fera, mpisorona tao Ona, tamin’ i Josefa, raha tsy mbola tonga ny taona mosarena.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
Ary ny anaran’ ny lahimatoa dia nataon’ i Josefa hoe Manase; fa hoy izy: Andriamanitra efa nampanadino ahy ny fahoriako rehetra sy izay rehetra tao an-tranon’ ny raiko.
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Ary ny anaran’ ny zandriny kosa nataony hoe Efraima; fa hoy izy: Andriamanitra efa nahamaro ahy teto amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahoriako.
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Ary tapitra ny taon-jina fito teo amin’ ny tany Egypta;
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.
dia niandoha kosa ny fito taona mosarena, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Josefa; ary nisy mosary tany amin’ ny tany rehetra; nefa eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra dia mbola nisy hanina ihany.
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.”
Ary rehefa mosarena ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nitaraina nangataka hanina tamin’ i Farao ny olona; ary hoy Farao tamin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra: Mankanesa any amin’ i Josefa; ary izay holazainy aminareo dia ataovy.
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.
Ary ny mosary dia tany amin’ ny tany rehetra. Ary Josefa namoha ny trano fitehirizam-bary ka nivaro-bary tamin’ ny Egyptiana.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Ary ny tany rehetra nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary; fa efa mafy ny mosary tany amin’ ny tany rehetra.
