Genesis 41
1 After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
Erga waggaan lama guutuun darbee booddee Faraʼoon abjuu tokko abjoote. Kunoo inni qarqara laga Abbayyaa dhaabachaa ture.
2 when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Kunoo, saawwan babbareedoo fi gagabbatoon torba laga Abbayyaa keessaa ol baʼan; isaanis shambaqqoo keessa dheedaa turan.
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.
Ammas kunoo, saawwan fofokkisoo fi huhuqqatoon kanneen biraa torba laga Abbayyaa keessaa ol baʼanii saawwan ededa lagaa turan sana bira dhadhaabatan.
4 And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
Saawwan fofokkisoo fi huhuqqatoon sunis saawwan babbareedoo fi gagabbatoo torban sana nyaatan. Faraʼoonis hirribaa dammaqe.
5 but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
Ammas deebiʼee rafee abjuu lammaffaa abjoote; kunoo mataan midhaanii torba misee tolee somaa tokko irratti guddachaa ture.
6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
Ergasii immoo kunoo mataan midhaan qaqancaroo hobombolettii baʼaa biiftuutiin gubatanii torba biraa bibbiqilan.
7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
Mataan midhaan qaqancaroo sanaas mataa misee tole torban sana lilliqimse; Faraʼoonis hirribaa dammaqe; kunoo wanni sunis abjuu ture.
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.
Ganama sana yaadni isaa ni jeeqame; inni nama ergee tolfattootaa fi beektota Gibxi hunda waamsifate. Faraʼoonis abjuu isaa isaanitti hime; garuu namni abjuu sana isaaf hiikuu dandaʼu tokko illee hin argamne.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
Ergasii itti gaafatamaan dhugaatii sun Faraʼooniin akkana jedhe; “Ani harʼa balleessaa koo yaadadheera.
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.
Yeroo tokko Faraʼoon tajaajiltoota isaatti aaree anaa fi itti gaafatamaa buddeenaa sana mana ajajaa waardiyyaa keessatti hidhe.
11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
Tokkoon tokkoon keenya halkanuma tokkoon abjuu abjoonne; tokkoon tokkoon abjuu sanaas hiikkaa mataa isaa qaba ture.
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.
Ibrichi dargaggeessi tokko nu wajjin achi ture; innis tajaajilaa ajajaa eegumsaa ture. Nu abjuu keenya itti himannaan inni tokkoo tokkoo keenyaaf akkuma abjuu keenyaatti hiikkaa isaa nutti hime.
13 And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
Akkuma inni nuu hiike sana taʼe; ani iddoo kootti nan deebiʼe; namichi kaanis ni fannifame.”
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.
Faraʼoonis nama ergee Yoosefin waamsise; boolla hidhaa keessaa baasaniis dafanii isa fidan. Innis haaddatee uffata isaas geeddarratee fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼaate.
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.”
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin, “Ani abjuu abjoodheen ture; garuu namni tokko iyyuu naa hiikuu hin dandeenye. Ani akka ati yeroo abjuu dhageessu hiikuu dandeessu dhagaʼeera” jedhe.
16 “I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
Yoosef immoo, “Ani hiikuu hin dandaʼu; Waaqni garuu Faraʼooniif deebii nagaa ni kenna” jedhee Faraʼooniif deebise.
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Ani abjuu kootiin qarqara laga Abbayyaa irra dhaabachaan ture;
18 when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
Kunoo saawwan gagabbatoo fi babbareedoon torba lagicha keessaa ol baʼanii shambaqqoo keessa dheedaa turan.
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!
Isaan duubaan immoo saawwan huhuqqatoo, baayʼee fofokkisoo fi qaqalloon biraa torba ol baʼan; ani takkumaa saawwan fofokkisoo akkanaa guutummaa biyya Gibxi keessatti hin argine.
20 Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
Saawwan huhuqqatoo fi fofokkisoon sun saawwan gagabbatoo duraan ol baʼan torban sana nyaatan.
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.
Garuu erga isaan nyaatanii booddee namni tokko illee akka isaan saawwan sana nyaatan beekuu hin dandeenye; isaan akkuma utuu hin nyaatiniin dura turan sana fofokkisoo turaniitii. Anis hirribaa nan dammaqe.
22 In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
“Akkasumas ani abjuu kootiin mataa midhaanii torba kan misee fi gaggaarii somaa tokko irratti guddachaa jiru nan arge.
23 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
Isaan duubaanis kunoo mataan midhaanii cocoollagaan, qaqallaan kan hobombolettii baʼa biiftuutiin gubate torba ol baʼe.
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.”
Mataawwan midhaanii qaqalʼaan sun mataa midhaanii gaggaarii torban sana liqimsan; anis waan kana tolchitootatti nan hime; garuu namni tokko iyyuu naa ibsuu hin dandeenye.”
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.
Yoosef immoo Faraʼooniin akkana jedhe; “Abjuun Faraʼoon lamaanuu tokkuma. Waaqni waan hojjechuuf jiru Faraʼoonitti mulʼiseera.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
Saawwan babbareedoon torba waggaa torba; mataawwan midhaanii gaggaarii torbas waggaa torba; abjuun sun tokkuma.
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.
Saawwan qaqalloo fi fofokkisoon torban duubaan ol baʼanis waggaa torba; mataawwan midhaanii qaqancaroon hobombolettii baʼa biiftuutiin gubatan torban immoo waggoota beelaa torba.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
“Wanni kun akkuma ani Faraʼoonitti himee dha. Waaqni waan hojjechuuf jiru Faraʼoonitti argisiiseera.
29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
Barri quufaa guddaan isaa torba biyya Gibxi guutuutti ni dhufa;
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.
isaan booddeedhaan garuu waggoonni beelaa torba ni dhufu. Quufni biyya Gibxi hundi ni irraanfatama; beelli sunis biyya balleessa.
31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
Waan beelli duubaan dhufu sun baayʼee hamaa taʼuuf quufni biyyattii hin yaadatamu.
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.
Abjuun kun bifa lamaan Faraʼoonitti kennamuun isaa waan dubbichi Waaqaan murteeffameef dha; Waaqnis waan kana dafee ni raawwata.
33 Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Kanaafuu Faraʼoon nama hubataa fi beekaa tokko filatee biyya Gibxi irratti haa muudu.
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.
Faraʼoon akka isaan waggoota quufaa torban keessa midhaan biyya Gibxiitii galfamu harka shan keessaa harka tokko walitti qabaniif qondaaltota biyya irratti haa muudu.
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.
Isaanis waggoota gaarii dhufuuf jiran kana keessa midhaan hunda walitti haa qaban; akka nyaataaf taʼuufis midhaan kana taayitaa Faraʼoon jalatti magaalaawwan keessatti haa kuusan; haa eeganis.
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.”
Midhaan kunis akka biyyattiin beelaan hin badneef waggoota beelaa torban Gibxitti dhufuuf jiru keessa akka fayyaduuf biyyattiidhaaf ol haa kaaʼamu.”
37 This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
Dubbichis Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltota isaa hunda biratti gaarii ture.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
Faraʼoonis, “Nama akka namicha kanaa kan Hafuurri Waaqaa keessa jiru argachuu dandeenyaa ree?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
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.
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Erga Waaqni waan kana hunda sitti mulʼise, namni akka kee hubataa fi beekaa taʼe tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
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.”
Ati masaraa koo irratti itti gaafatamaa taata; sabni koo hundinuus ajaja kee jalatti bula. Ani ulfina teessoo qofaan si caala.”
41 Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin, “Ilaa, ani biyya Gibxi hunda irratti si muudeera” jedhe.
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.
Ergasii Faraʼoon qubeelaa chaappaa isaa quba isaa irraa baasee quba Yoosefitti kaaʼe. Uffata quncee talbaa haphii irraa hojjetame isatti uffise; amartii warqee morma isaatti kaaʼe.
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.
Innis gaarii isaa isa lammaffaa irra isa teessise; namoonnis, “Sagadaa!” jechaa fuula isaa dura deemanii iyyaa turan; akkanaan Faraʼoon biyya Gibxi hunda irratti isa muude.
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.”
Ergasiis Faraʼoon Yoosefiin, “Ani Faraʼoonii dha; garuu ajaja kee malee namni guutummaa Gibxi harka isaa yookaan miilla isaa sochoosu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhe.
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.
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiif maqaa Zaafenaat-Phaneʼaa jedhamu baase; intala Phooxiiferaa lubicha magaalaa Ooni kan Aasenati jedhamtu illee itti heerumsiise. Yoosefis biyya Gibxi hunda keessa naannaʼe.
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.
Yoosef yeroo tajaajila Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi jalqabetti nama waggaa soddomaa ture; innis fuula Faraʼoon duraa baʼee deemee biyya Gibxi hunda keessa nanaannaʼe.
47 During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
Waggoota quufaa torban sana keessa lafti midhaan akka malee baayʼatu kennite.
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.
Yoosefis midhaan waggoota torban sana keessa Gibxii galfame hunda walitti qabee magaalaawwan keessatti kuuse. Midhaan lafa qotiisaa naannoo magaalaas tokkoo tokkoo magaalaa sanaa keessatti kuuse.
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.
Yoosefis midhaan baayʼinni isaa guddaa akka cirracha galaanaa taʼe kuuse. Waan midhaan sun safaramuu hin dandaʼaminiif inni safaruu dhiise.
50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Yoosef utuu waggoonni beelaa sun hin dhufin dura Aasenati intala Phooxiiferaa lubicha magaalaa Ooni irraa ilmaan lama dhalche.
51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
Yoosefis, “Waaqni rakkina koo hundaa fi mana abbaa koo hunda na irraanfachiiseera” jedhee maqaa ilma isaa hangaftichaa Minaasee jedhee moggaase.
52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
“Waaqni biyya ani itti rakkadhe keessatti na baayʼiseera” jedhee ilma isaa isa lammaffaa immoo Efreem jedhee moggaase.
53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Gibxi keessatti waggoonni quufaa torban sun darbee,
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.
akkuma Yoosef dubbate sana waggoonni beelaa torba jalqabe. Biyyoota biraa hunda keessa beelatu ture; biyya Gibxi guutuu keessa garuu midhaanitu ture.
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.”
Yeroo Gibxi guutuun beelaʼuu jalqabetti namoonni midhaan barbaadanii Faraʼoonitti iyyatan; Faraʼoon immoo warra Gibxi hundumaan, “Yoosef bira dhaqaatii waan inni isinitti himu godhaa” jedhe.
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.
Beelli guutuummaa biyyattii keessa babalʼannaan Yoosef mankuusaalee hundumaa banee namoota Gibxitti midhaan gurgure; beelli Gibxi hunda keessatti hammaatee tureetii.
57 And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Waan guutuu addunyaa irratti beelli hammaateef biyyoonni hundinuu Yoosef irraa midhaan bitachuuf gara Gibxi dhufaa turan.
