Genesis 41
1 Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;
Dezan te fin pase. Farawon an fè yon rèv. Li wè li te kanpe bò larivyè Nil la.
2 And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.
Li wè sèt bèl vach byen gra moute soti nan larivyè a, yo t'ap manje zèb bò dlo a.
3 And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.
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 seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.
Sèt vye vach mèg yo manje sèt bèl vach gra yo. Epi je farawon an vin klè.
5 But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.
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 And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted 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 seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw 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 And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.
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 wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;
Se lè sa a, chèf kanbiz la di farawon an: -Koulye a mwen chonje mwen te fè yon fòt.
10 Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;
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 And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.
Yon jou lannwit, nou tout de nou reve. Chak moun te fè yon rèv diferan. Chak rèv te gen sans pa l'.
12 And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.
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 came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.
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 Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came 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 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
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 Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.
Jozèf reponn farawon an: -Se pa mwen menm non! Se Bondye ki pral bay farawon an esplikasyon rèv la.
17 Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:
Farawon an di: -Mwen reve mwen te kanpe bò larivyè Nil la.
18 And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;
Konsa, sèt bèl vach byen gra te moute soti nan larivyè a, yo t'ap manje zèb bò dlo a.
19 Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in 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 And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;
Vye vach mèg yo manje bèl vach gra yo.
21 And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.
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 And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:
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 And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:
Apre sa, sèt lòt grap parèt dèyè yo. Yo te chèch, van nòde te fin boule yo.
24 And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.
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 Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear 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 fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.
Sèt vach gra yo, se sèt lanne. Sèt bèl grap yo se sèt lanne tou. Yo vle di menm bagay.
27 The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.
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 As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.
Se jan m' sot di farawon an: Bondye vle fè ou konnen sa li pral fè.
29 Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;
Pandan sèt lanne pral gen bèl rekòt nan tout peyi Lejip la.
30 And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;
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 And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.
Grangou ki pral tonbe sou peyi a pral rèd anpil. Moun p'ap wè tras rekòt ki te fèt nan peyi a.
32 And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
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 And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority 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 do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.
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 And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.
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 And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.
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 And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.
Farawon an ak tout moun pa l' yo te tonbe dakò ak sa Jozèf te di a.
38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
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 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense 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, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king 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 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put 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 took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round 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 And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler 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 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.
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 And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through 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 came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all 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 Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.
Pandan sèt bon lanne yo, tè a te bay anpil anpil rekòt.
48 And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.
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 he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.
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 And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.
Anvan lanne grangou yo mete pye, Jozèf te gen tan gen de pitit ak Asnat, pitit fi Potifera, prèt lavil On an.
51 And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.
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 to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.
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 And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.
Sèt bon lanne rekòt yo te fin pase nan peyi Lejip la.
54 Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
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 And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.
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 And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food 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 all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great 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.
