< Genesis 41 >
1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
Pea hili ʻae taʻu kotoa ʻe ua, pea pehē, naʻe misi ʻa Felo: pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
2 And behold, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake mei he vaitafe ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu naʻe matamatalelei mo sino lahi; pea nau kai ʻi he ngoue mohuku.
3 And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river.
Pea vakai naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo muimui ʻi ai ʻae fanga pulu matamata kehe ʻe fitu, naʻe matamata kovi mo tutue lahi, pea nau tutuʻu ʻo ofi ki he fanga pulu kehe ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
4 And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
Pea ko e fanga pulu matamata kovi mo tutue, naʻa nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fanga pulu matamatalelei, mo sino lahi. Pea ʻā ai ʻa Felo.
5 And he dreamt again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
Pea toe mohe ia, pea misi ia ko hono tuʻo ua; pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu ʻi he kau pe taha, naʻe lahi mo lelei.
6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
Pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻo muimui ʻi ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu, naʻe kekena mo mate ʻi he matangi hahake.
7 And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream.
Pea ko e fua vaivai ʻe fitu, naʻa nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fua ʻe fitu naʻe mālohi mo lelei. Pea; ʻā ai ʻa Felo, pea vakai, ko e misi pe ia.
8 And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.
Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻe mamahi pe hono laumālie; pea fekau ʻe ia ke ui ʻae kau fiemana kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo e kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻi ai: pea fakahā ʻe Felo ʻene misi kiate kinautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke ne faʻa fakahā hono ʻuhinga kia Felo.
9 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
Pea lea ai ʻae tauhi lahi kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou manatu ki heʻeku ngaahi hala he ʻaho ni;
10 Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.
Naʻe tuputāmaki ʻa Felo ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ne tuku au ke fakapōpulaʻi, ki he fale ʻoe ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻa au mo e tangata taʻo mā.
11 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
Pea naʻa ma misi ʻae misi ʻi he pō pe taha, ko au mo ia; naʻa ma misi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene misi.
12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.
Pea naʻa mau ʻi ai mo e talavou ko e Hepelū, ko e tamaioʻeiki ki he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo; pea ma fakahā kiate ia, pea ne fakahā kiate kimaua hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ma misi, ki he tangata taki taha naʻa ne fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene misi.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged.
Pea naʻe hoko ia, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa naʻa ne fakahā; naʻa ne toe tuku au ki heʻeku ngāue, pea ne tautau ia.”
14 And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.
Pea fekau leva ʻe Felo ke ui mai Siosefa, pea naʻa nau fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ʻomi ia mei he fale fakapōpula; pea naʻa ne tele kava, pea fetongi hono kofu, pea haʻu ia kia Felo.
15 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you did hear dreams and interpret them.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Kuo u misi ʻae misi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga; pea kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻoku ke faʻa ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe misi ke fakahā ia.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
Pea talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au; ʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kia Felo ʻae tala fakafiemālie.”
17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream I thought I stood by the bank of the river;
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Naʻaku mamata ʻi heʻeku misi, pea vakai, naʻaku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaitafe:
18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake mei he vaitafe ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu naʻe sino lahi, mo matamatalelei; pea naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngoue mohuku:
19 And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt.
pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fanga pulu kehe ʻe fitu, naʻa nau kovi mo matamata kehe, mo tutue ʻaupito, kuo ʻikai te u mamata ki he kovi pehē, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite:
20 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
Pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻe he fanga pulu tutue, ʻae ʻuluaki fanga pulu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe sino:
21 And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,
Pea hili ʻenau kai ʻo ʻosi ia, pea naʻe ʻikai hano fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻenau kai ia; he naʻa nau matamata kovi ai pe, ʻo hangē ʻi muʻa. Pea u ʻā ai.
22 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
Pea naʻaku mamata ʻi heʻeku misi, pea vakai, naʻe ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu ʻi he kau pe taha, naʻe lahi mo lelei;
23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
Pea vakai, naʻe ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu naʻe mae mo manifi, mo mate ʻi he matangi hahake, naʻe tupu hake ki mui;
24 And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.
Pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fua lelei, ʻe he ngaahi fua mate: pea ne u tala ʻae meʻa ni ki he kau fiemana; ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke faʻa fakahā ia.”
25 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shown to Pharao.
Pea talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Felo, “Ko e misi ʻa Felo, ʻoku taha pe: kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kia Felo, ʻaia ʻoku ne teu ke fai.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
Ko e fanga pulu lelei ʻe fitu ko e taʻu ia ʻe fitu: pea ko e fua lelei ʻe fitu, ko e taʻu ʻe fitu; ko e misi ʻoku taha pe.
27 And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.
Pea ko e fanga pulu tutue mo matamata kovi ʻe fitu, naʻe tupu ki mui, ko e taʻu ia ʻe fitu: pea ko e fua ʻe fitu naʻe mate ʻi he matangi hahake, ko e taʻu honge ia ʻe fitu.
28 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatever God intends to do, he has shown to Pharao:
Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo u lea ʻaki kia Felo; ko ia ʻoku teu ʻe he ʻOtua ke fai ni, kuo ne fakahā kia Felo.
29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae taʻu mahu lahi ʻe fitu ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite;
30 But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.
Pea ʻe hoko mo ia ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoku honge; pea ʻe ngalo ʻaupito ʻae mahu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite; pea ʻe fakaʻosi ʻe he honge ʻae fonua;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.
Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻae mahu ʻi he fonua ni, ko e meʻa ʻi he honge ʻe hoko mo ia; koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻaupito ia.
32 And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hono fai ʻo tuʻo ua ʻae misi kia Felo; ko hono ʻuhinga kuo fakapapau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ni, pea ʻe fakahoko toʻotoʻo ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
33 Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Pea ko eni, ke kumi ʻe Felo ha tangata lelei, mo poto, ke fakanofo ia, ke pule ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
34 And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.
Pea ke fai ʻe Felo ʻae meʻa ni, tuku ke fakanofo ʻae kau matāpule ki he fonua ni, pea ke vaheʻi mo toʻo hono vahe nima ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he taʻu mahu ʻe fitu.
35 And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities.
Pea tuku ke nau tānaki ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi taʻu lelei ko ia ʻoku haʻu, pea ke nau fokotuʻu ʻae koane ʻi he fekau ʻa Felo, pea nau maʻu ʻae meʻakai ʻi he ngaahi kolo.
36 And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine.
Pea ko e meʻakai ko ia ko e tokonaki ia ki he fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoe honge, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite; ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e honge.”
37 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
Pea naʻe lelei ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē.
38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
Pea pehē ʻe Felo ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “He te tau faʻa ʻilo ha tokotaha ʻo hangē ko eni, ko e tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?”
39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has showed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than you.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku lelei mo poto ʻo hangē ko koe:
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel you.
Te ke pule koe ki hoku fale: pea ʻe fekauʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lea: ko e nofoʻa fakatuʻi pe, teu lahi hake ai ʻiate koe.”
41 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Vakai kuo u fakanofo koe he ʻaho ni, ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite.”
42 And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Felo hono mama mei hono nima, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he nima ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi kofu lelei, pea ne ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia.
43 And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻa ne tuku ia ke heka ʻi hono ua ʻoe saliote naʻa ne maʻu pea naʻa nau kalanga ʻi hono ʻao, Punou pea naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite.
44 And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Ko Felo au, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, te ne hiki hono nima pe vaʻe, ka ʻi hoʻo pule.”
45 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
Pea ui ʻe Felo ʻae hingoa ʻo Siosefa ko Safinati Peanea: pea naʻa ne foaki kiate ia ʻa ʻAsinate, Ko e ʻofefine ʻo Potifela koe taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻOni, ko hono uaifi. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe tolungofulu taʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo ne ʻalu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
Pea ʻi he taʻu mahu ʻe fitu naʻe fua lahi ʻaupito ʻae kelekele.
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it.
Pea naʻa ne tānaki ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoe taʻu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he kolo: ko e ngaahi meʻakai ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo kotoa pē, naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ki ai.
49 And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae koane ʻo tatau mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea naʻe tuku ʻene lau ia; he naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa lau ia;
50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.
Pea naʻe tupu kia Siosefa ʻae foha ʻe toko ua ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae honge, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi kiate ia ʻe ʻAsinate, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Potifela, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻOni.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Siosefa ʻae hingoa ʻo hono ʻuluaki, ko Manase; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua, ke u fakangaloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mamahi, mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
Pea ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻo hono toko ua ko ʻIfalemi; he kuo ngaohi au ʻe he ʻOtua ke u monūʻia ʻi he fonua ʻo hoku tautea.
53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae taʻu mahu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Pea kuo hoko ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoe honge, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Siosefa pea naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻae honge ka naʻe ai ʻae mā ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
55 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatever he shall tell you.
Pea ʻi he hongea ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, naʻe tangi ʻae kakai kia Felo ki he mā: pea pehē ʻe Felo ki he kakai ʻIsipite; ʻAlu kia Siosefa; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakahā kiate kimoutolu, mou fai ia.
56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae honge ki he fonua kotoa pē; pea naʻe fakaava ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi feleoko, ʻo ne fakatau ki he kakai ʻIsipite; pea tupu ʻo lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ki ʻIsipite kia Siosefa ke fakatau: koeʻuhi naʻe lahi fau ʻae honge ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.
