Genesis 41
1 After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River.
2 from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows good looking of appearance and fat of flesh and they grazed among the reed[s].
3 Likewise, another seven emerged from the river, filthy and thoroughly emaciated. And they pastured on the same bank of the river, in green places.
And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them from the River displeasing of appearance and thin of flesh and they stood beside the cows on [the] bank of the River.
4 And they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
And they ate the cows displeasing of appearance and [the] thin of flesh seven the cows good looking of appearance and fat and he awoke Pharaoh.
5 slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
And he slept and he dreamed a second [time] and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one fat and good.
6 Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
7 devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain fat and full and he awoke Pharaoh and there! a dream.
8 and when morning arrived, being terrified with fear, sent to all the interpreters of Egypt and to all of the wise men. And when they were summoned, he explained to them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret it.
And it was in the morning and it was troubled spirit his and he sent and he summoned all [the] diviner priests of Egypt and all wise [men] its and he recounted Pharaoh to them dream his and there not [was one who] interpreted them for Pharaoh.
9 Then at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day.
10 The king, being angry with his servants, ordered me and the chief miller of grain to be forced into the prison of the leader of the military.
Pharaoh he was angry towards servants his and he put me in [the] custody of [the] house of [the] commander of the bodyguards me and [the] chief of the bakers.
11 There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed.
12 In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
And [was] there with us a young man a Hebrew a slave of [the] commander of the bodyguards and we recounted to him and he interpreted for us dreams our each according to dream his he interpreted.
13 Whatever we heard was proven afterwards by the event of the matter. For I was restored to my office, and he was suspended on a cross.”
And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged.
14 Immediately, by the king’s authority, Joseph was led out of prison, and they shaved him. And changing his apparel, they presented him to him.
And he sent Pharaoh and he summoned Joseph and people brought quickly him from the pit and he shaved and he changed clothes his and he came to Pharaoh.
15 And he said to him, “I have seen dreams, and there is no one who can unfold them. I have heard that you are very wise at interpreting these.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph a dream I have dreamed and [is one who] interprets there not it and I I have heard on you saying you hear a dream to interpret it.
16 Joseph responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh.
17 Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River.
18 and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows fat of flesh and good looking of form and they grazed among the reed[s].
19 And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them weak and displeasing of form very and thin of flesh not I have seen like them in all [the] land of Egypt to badness.
20 These devoured and consumed the first,
And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat.
21 giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
And they went into inward part[s] their and not it was known that they had gone into inward part[s] their and appearance their [was] displeasing just as at the beginning and I awoke.
22 I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good.
23 Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
24 And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain good and I said to the diviner priests and there not [was one who] told to me.
25 Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
And he said Joseph to Pharaoh [the] dream of Pharaoh [is] one it [that] which God [is] about to do he has told to Pharaoh.
26 The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it.
27 Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
And seven the cows thin and displeasing that were coming up after them [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain empty scorched of the east wind they will be seven years of famine.
28 These will be fulfilled in this order.
That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt.
30 After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
And they will arise seven years of famine after them and it will be forgotten all the plenty in [the] land of Egypt and it will destroy the famine the land.
31 and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
And not it will be known the plenty in the land because of the famine that after thus for [will be] heavy it very.
32 Now, as to what you saw the second time, it is a dream pertaining to the same thing. It is an indication of its firmness, because the word of God shall be done, and it shall be completed swiftly.
And on [the] being repeated of the dream to Pharaoh two times for [is] certain the matter from with God and [is] hurrying God to do it.
33 Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt.
34 so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile years
Let him act Pharaoh and let him appoint overseers over the land and he will take a fifth of [the] land of Egypt in seven [the] years of plenty.
35 that now have already begun to occur, be gathered into storehouses. And let all the grain be stored away, under the power of Pharaoh, and let it be kept in the cities.
And let them gather all [the] food of the years good that are coming these and let them store up grain under [the] hand of Pharaoh food in the cities and they will keep [it].
36 And let it be prepared for the future famine of seven years, which will oppress Egypt, and then the land will not be consumed by destitution.”
And it will become the food a store for the land for seven [the] years of famine which they will be in [the] land of Egypt and not it will be cut off the land by the famine.
37 The counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his.
38 And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of the Spirit of God?”
And he said Pharaoh to servants his ¿ has he been found like this one a man whom [the] spirit of God [is] in him.
39 Therefore, he said to Joseph: “Because God has revealed to you all that you have said, would I be able to find anyone wiser and as much like you?
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph after has made know God you all this there not [is] a discerning [person] and a wise [person] like you.
40 You will be over my house, and to the authority of your mouth, all the people will show obedience. Only in one way, in the throne of the kingdom, will I go before you.”
You you will be over house my and on mouth your it will kiss all people my only the throne I will be great more than you.
41 And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt.
42 And he took the ring from his own hand, and he gave it into his hand. And he clothed him with a robe of fine linen, and he placed a necklace of gold around his neck.
And he removed Pharaoh signet-ring his from on hand his and he set it on [the] hand of Joseph and he clothed him clothes of fine linen and he put [the] chain of gold on neck his.
43 And he caused him to ascend upon his second swift chariot, with the herald proclaiming that everyone should bend their knee before him, and that they should know that he was governor over the entire land of Egypt.
And he made ride him in [the] chariot of the second which [belonged] to him and they called out before him bend [the] knee and he put him over all [the] land of Egypt.
44 Likewise, the king said to Joseph: “I am Pharaoh: apart from your authority, no one will move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph I [am] Pharaoh and apart from you not he will lift up anyone hand his and foot his in all [the] land of Egypt.
45 And he changed his name and called him, in the Egyptian tongue: ‘Savior of the world.’ And he gave him as a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And so Joseph went out into the land of Egypt.
And he called Pharaoh [the] name of Joseph Zaphenath-Paneah and he gave to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On to a wife and he went out Joseph over [the] land of Egypt.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions of Egypt.
And Joseph [was] a son of thirty year[s] when stood he before Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he went out Joseph from to before Pharaoh and he passed in all [the] land of Egypt.
47 And the fertility of the seven years arrived. And when the grain fields were reduced to sheaves, these were gathered into the storehouses of Egypt.
And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls.
48 And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every city.
And he gathered all [the] food of - seven [the] years which they were in [the] land of Egypt and he put food in the cities [the] food of [the] field[s] of the city which [was] around it he put in [the] midst of it.
49 And there was such a great abundance of wheat that it was comparable to the sands of the sea, and its bounty exceeded all measure.
And he stored up Joseph grain like [the] sand of the sea much very until that he ceased to measure [it] for there not [was] a measure.
50 Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
And to Joseph it was born two sons before it came [the] year of famine whom she bore to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has caused me to forget all my labors and the house of my father.”
And he called Joseph [the] name of the firstborn Manasseh for he has made forget me God all trouble my and all [the] household of father my.
52 Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my.
53 And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt.
54 the seven years of destitution, which Joseph had predicted, began to arrive. And the famine prevailed throughout the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
And they began seven [the] years of famine to come just as he had said Joseph and it was a famine in all the lands and in all [the] land of Egypt it was food.
55 And being hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh, asking for provisions. And he said to them: “Go to Joseph. And do whatever he will tell you.”
And it was hungry all [the] land of Egypt and it cried out the people to Pharaoh for food and he said Pharaoh to all Egypt go to Joseph [that] which he will say to you you will do.
56 Then the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all of the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. For the famine had oppressed them also.
And the famine it was over all [the] face of the land and he opened Joseph all that [was] in them and he bought grain to Egypt and it was severe the famine in [the] land of Egypt.
57 And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
