Genesis 41
1 After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
Ary rehefa afaka roa taona mipaka, dia nanonofy Farao, fa, indro, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily izy.
2 from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
Koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy niakatra avy teo Neily ka nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata.
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.
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 they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
Ary ireo ombivavy ratsy tarehy sady mahia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy. Dia nahatsiaro Farao.
5 slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
Ary natory indray izy ka nanonofy fanindroany; ary, indro, nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara.
6 Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
Ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito maivam-boa sady main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny.
7 devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
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 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.
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 at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
Dia niteny tamin’ i Farao ilay lehiben’ ny mpitondra kapoaka ka nanao hoe: Tsaroako izao ny fahadisoako:
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.
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 There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
Ary nanonofy izahay indray alina, dia izaho sy izy; samy nanonofy araka ny hevitry ny nofinay avy izahay.
12 In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
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 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.”
Ary samy tonga araka izay efa nolazainy taminay indrindra izany: izaho nampodiny ho ao amin’ ilay nipetrahako, fa izy kosa nahantony.
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.
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 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.”
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 Joseph responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
Ary Josefa dia namaly an’ i Farao ka nanao hoe: Tsy ahy izany; Andriamanitra no hilaza izay valiny hiadanan’ i Farao.
17 Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Nofiko fa indro, hono, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily aho;
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.
koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito matavy sady tsara tarehy niakatra avy teo Neily; ary nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata ireny.
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.
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 These devoured and consumed the first,
Ary ireo ombivavy fito mahia sady ratsy tarehy dia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito matavy izay nialoha azy.
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,
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 I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
Ary hitako tamin’ ny nofiko indray, ka, indreo nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara;
23 Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito sady malazo no maivam-boa, main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny;
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.”
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 Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
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 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.
Ny ombivavy fito tsara tarehy dia fito taona; ary ny salohim-bary fito vokatra koa dia fito taona; iray ihany ny nofy.
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.
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 These will be fulfilled in this order.
Izany dia ilay efa nolazaiko tamin’ i Farao teo hoe: Izay efa hataon’ Andriamanitra no asehony amin’ i Farao.
29 Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Indro, hisy fito taona zina indrindra eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra;
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,
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 and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
ary ny fahavokarana eo amin’ ny tany tsy ho fantatra noho izany mosary manaraka azy izany; fa ho mafy indrindra izany.
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.
Ary naverina indroa ny nofin’ i Farao, satria efa voatendrin’ Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany ka hotanterahin’ Andriamanitra faingana.
33 Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
Koa ankehitriny aoka Farao hizaha lehilahy manan-tsaina sady hendry ka hanendry azy hanapaka ny tany Egypta.
34 so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile years
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 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.
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 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.”
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 The counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
Ary sitrak’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony rehetra izany hevitra izany.
38 And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of the Spirit of God?”
Dia hoy Farao tamin’ ny mpanompony: Hahita lehilahy tahaka io, izay manana ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ao anatiny, va isika?
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?
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 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.”
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 And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
Ary hoy indray Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Indro, efa nanendry anao hanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra aho.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions 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 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.
Ary ny tany dia nahavokatra tsy omby fàmpana tamin’ ny taon-jina fito.
48 And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every city.
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 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.
Ary Josefa namory vary tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, eny, be indrindra, ka tsy nanisa intsony izy, satria efa tsy hita isa.
50 Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
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 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.”
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 Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
Ary ny anaran’ ny zandriny kosa nataony hoe Efraima; fa hoy izy: Andriamanitra efa nahamaro ahy teto amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahoriako.
53 And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
Ary tapitra ny taon-jina fito teo amin’ ny tany Egypta;
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
Ary ny mosary dia tany amin’ ny tany rehetra. Ary Josefa namoha ny trano fitehirizam-bary ka nivaro-bary tamin’ ny Egyptiana.
57 And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
Ary ny tany rehetra nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary; fa efa mafy ny mosary tany amin’ ny tany rehetra.
