Genesis 41
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka ĩĩrĩ mĩgima yathira-rĩ, Firaũni akĩroota kĩroto: Akĩona arũgamĩte rũteere-inĩ rwa Rũũĩ rwa Nili;
2 And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.
na rĩrĩ, gũkiumĩra ngʼombe mũgwanja njega na noru kuuma thĩinĩ wa rũũĩ rũu, na igĩitĩka kũrĩa nyeki ithanjĩ-inĩ.
3 And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.
Thuutha wacio rĩ, hakiumĩra ngʼombe ingĩ mũgwanja, njongʼi na hĩnju, kuuma rũũĩ rũu rwa Nili, na ikĩrũgama mwena-inĩ harĩa icio ingĩ ciarũgamĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia rũũĩ.
4 And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
Na rĩrĩ, ngʼombe icio njongʼi na hĩnju ikĩrĩa ngʼombe iria mũgwanja njega na noru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni akĩũrwo nĩ toro.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.
Ningĩ Firaũni agĩkoma rĩngĩ na akĩroota kĩroto gĩa keerĩ: Magira mũgwanja mega ma ngano, maiyũrĩte ngano, maakũraga kamũtĩ-inĩ kamwe ka ngano.
6 And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Thuutha wamo gũgĩthethũka magira mangĩ mũgwanja ma ngano mahĩnju, mahaana ta macinĩtwo nĩ rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro.
7 And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream.
Magira macio mahĩnju ma ngano makĩmeria magira marĩa mũgwanja maarĩ mega na maiyũrĩte ngano. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni akĩũrwo nĩ toro, agĩũkĩra agĩkora nĩ kũroota ekũrootaga.
8 And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
Rũciinĩ agĩtangĩka meciiria, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũmanĩra andũ-ago othe na andũ arĩa oogĩ a Misiri. Firaũni akĩmeera irooto ciake, no gũtirĩ wao o na ũmwe wahotire kũmũtaũrĩra.
9 Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩndaririkanio mahĩtia makwa.
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.
Hĩndĩ ĩmwe-rĩ, Firaũni nĩarakarĩtio nĩ ndungata ciake; na niĩ hamwe na mũnene wa arĩa athondeki mĩgate-rĩ, agĩtuohithia njeera nyũmba-inĩ ya mũnene wa arangĩri.
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.
Ũtukũ ũmwe-rĩ, o ũmwe witũ akĩroota kĩroto, na o kĩroto kĩarĩ na ũtaũri wakĩo mwanya.
12 And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.
Na rĩrĩ, kũu njeera twarĩ na mwanake Mũhibirania, ndungata ya mũnene wa arangĩri. Na ithuĩ tũkĩmwĩra irooto ciitũ, nake agĩtũtaũrĩra; akĩhe o mũndũ ũtaũri wa kĩroto gĩake.
13 And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
Namo maũndũ magĩkĩka o ta ũrĩa aatũtaũrĩire. Niĩ ngĩcookio wĩra-inĩ wakwa, nake mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ agĩcuurio mũtĩ igũrũ.”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni agĩtũmanĩra Jusufu, nake akĩrutwo kũu njeera narua. Na aarĩkia kwĩyenja na kũruta nguo iria arĩ nacio na gwĩkĩra ingĩ-rĩ, agĩthiĩ mbere ya Firaũni.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.
Nake Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrarootire kĩroto na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrahota gũgĩtaũra. No nĩnjiguĩte gũkĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, wee ũngĩĩrwo kĩroto no ũhote gũgĩtaũra.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Jusufu agĩcookeria Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mwene ndingĩhota, no Ngai nĩekũhe Firaũni macookio marĩa arenda.”
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa-rĩ, ndĩrarũgamĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili,
18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.
rĩrĩa haroimĩrire ngʼombe mũgwanja njega na noru kuuma rũũĩ, na iraitĩka kũrĩa kũu ithanjĩ-inĩ.
19 And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed — such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
Thuutha wacio kũracooka kũroimĩra ngʼombe ingĩ mũgwanja hinyaru, njongʼi mũno na hĩnju. Ndirĩ ndona ngʼombe njongʼi ta icio bũrũri-inĩ wothe wa Misiri.
20 And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;
Nacio ngʼombe icio hĩnju na njongʼi irarĩa ngʼombe iria mũgwanja noru iria iroimĩrĩte mbere.
21 and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.
No rĩrĩ, o na ciarĩkia gũcirĩa-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩramenyire atĩ nĩirarĩĩte; tondũ ironekaga irĩ o njongʼi o ta mbere. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndĩrokĩra.
22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
“Ningĩ irooto-inĩ ciakwa-rĩ, nĩndĩronire magira mũgwanja mega ma ngano na maiyũrĩte ngano, magĩkũũra kamũtĩ-inĩ ka ngano.
23 And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;
Thuutha wamo, magira mangĩ mũgwanja marathethũka, marĩ mahoohu na macinĩtwo nĩ rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro.
24 and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.
Namo magira macio mahĩnju marameria magira marĩa mũgwanja mega. Ndĩraheire andũ-ago ũhoro ũcio, no gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũrahotire kũndaũrĩra irooto icio.”
25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
Nake Jusufu akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Irooto cia Firaũni cierĩ no kĩroto kĩmwe. Ngai nĩaguũrĩirie Firaũni ũrĩa akiriĩ gwĩka.
26 The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Ngʼombe iria mũgwanja njega nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja, na magira marĩa mũgwanja mega ma ngano nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja; kĩroto kĩu no kĩmwe.
27 And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.
Nacio ngʼombe icio mũgwanja hĩnju na njongʼi iria cioimĩrire thuutha nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja, na no taguo magira marĩa mũgwanja matarĩ ngano macinĩtwo nĩ rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro: ĩyo nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja ya ngʼaragu.
28 This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.
“Na o ta ũrĩa ndeera Firaũni: Ngai nĩ oneetie Firaũni ũrĩa akiriĩ gwĩka.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.
Nĩgũgũkorwo na mĩaka mũgwanja ya bũthi mũnene bũrũri wothe wa Misiri,
30 And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.
no nĩgũgũcooka kũrũmĩrĩrwo nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja ya ngʼaragu. Naguo bũthi ũcio wothe wa Misiri nĩũkariganĩra, nayo ngʼaragu nĩĩkananga bũrũri ũyũ.
31 And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.
Bũthi wa bũrũri ndũkaririkanwo, tondũ ngʼaragu ĩrĩa ĩgacooka kũgĩa nĩĩgakorwo ĩrĩ nene mũno.
32 And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.
Gĩtũmi kĩa Firaũni aheo kĩroto kĩu maita meerĩ, nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatuĩte nĩegwĩka ũndũ ũcio, na ekũwĩka o narua.
33 And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Rĩu Firaũni nĩacarie mũndũ ũũĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ na mũndũ mũũgĩ, amũtue mũrũgamĩrĩri wa bũrũri wa Misiri.
34 Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,
O na ningĩ Firaũni nĩagĩthuure atabarĩri a bũrũri a kuoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithano kĩa magetha ma Misiri mĩaka-inĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya bũthi.
35 and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].
Nao nĩmacookanĩrĩrie irio icio ciothe cia mĩaka ĩyo mĩega ĩrooka, na ngano ĩyo ĩkorwo watho-inĩ wa Firaũni, ĩigwo matũũra-inĩ ĩrĩ irio.
36 And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
Nacio irio icio ciagĩrĩire kũigwo irĩ mũthiithũ wa bũrũri, ikaahũthĩrwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ya mĩaka mũgwanja ya ngʼaragu ĩrĩa ĩkaagĩa Misiri, nĩgeetha bũrũri ndũkanathũkio nĩ ngʼaragu ĩyo.”
37 And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.
Firaũni na anene ake makĩona mũbango ũcio ũrĩ mwega.
38 And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “No tuone mũndũ ũngĩ ta ũyũ, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho wa Ngai thĩinĩ wake?”
39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.
Firaũni agĩkĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ Ngai nĩakũmenyithĩtie maũndũ maya mothe-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũngĩkũũrana maũndũ na mũũgĩ ta we.
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.
Wee nĩwe ũkũrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki, na andũ akwa othe marĩathĩkagĩra watho waku. Ũndũ ngũgũkĩra naguo no atĩrĩ, niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũthamaki.”
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Kuuma rĩu nĩndagũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.”
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on his neck.
Ningĩ Firaũni akĩruta gĩcũhĩ gĩake kĩa mũhũũri kuuma kĩara gĩake agĩgĩĩkĩra kĩara-inĩ kĩa Jusufu. Agĩcooka akĩmũhumba nguo cia gatani njega, na kĩrengeeri gĩa thahabu ngingo.
43 And he caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Ningĩ agĩtũma akuuo na ngaari yake ya ita, arĩ mũndũ wa keerĩ harĩ we wathani-inĩ, nao andũ magĩthiĩ makĩanagĩrĩra marĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Eherai njĩra-inĩ!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni agĩtua Jusufu mũrũgamĩrĩri wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.
44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
Ningĩ Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Firaũni, no rĩrĩ, hatarĩ na rũtha rwaku, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgeeka ũndũ atarĩ na rũtha rwaku gũkũ Misiri guothe.”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Nake Firaũni agĩĩta Jusufu Zafenathu-Panea, na akĩmũhe Asenathu mwarĩ wa Potifera, mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Onu, atuĩke mũtumia wake. Nake Jusufu agĩtuĩkania bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.
Jusufu aarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ rĩrĩa atoonyire ũtungata-inĩ wa Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri. Nake Jusufu akĩehera mbere ya Firaũni, agĩtuĩkania bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.
47 And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩyo mũgwanja ya bũthi, bũrũri ũcio ũgĩciara maciaro maingĩ mũno.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.
Nake Jusufu agĩcookanĩrĩria irio ciothe cia bũrũri wa Misiri iria ciagĩire kuo mĩaka ĩyo mũgwanja ya bũthi, na agĩciigithia matũũra-inĩ marĩa manene. O itũũra inene akaiga irio iria ciakũragio mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩthiũrũrũkĩirie.
49 And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
Jusufu agĩkĩigithia ngano nyingĩ mũno, o ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ; yarĩ nyingĩ mũno, o nginya agĩtiga kũiga maandĩko ma mũigana wayo tondũ ndĩngĩathimĩkire.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.
Mĩaka ya ngʼaragu ĩtaanakinya-rĩ, Jusufu nĩaciarĩirwo tũhĩĩ twĩrĩ nĩ Asenathu mwarĩ wa Potifera, mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Onu.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh — For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
Jusufu agĩĩta irigithathi rĩake Manase, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatũmĩte ndiganĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna wakwa wothe na nyũmba ya baba yothe.”
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim — For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Nako kahĩĩ ga keerĩ, agĩgeeta Efiraimu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatũmĩte ngĩe na maciaro bũrũri-inĩ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa.”
53 And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;
Nayo mĩaka mũgwanja ya bũthi kũu Misiri ĩgĩthira,
54 and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
na mĩaka mũgwanja ya ngʼaragu ĩkĩambĩrĩria, o ta ũrĩa Jusufu oigĩte. Kwarĩ na ngʼaragu mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mangĩ mothe, no bũrũri wa Misiri wothe warĩ na irio.
55 And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.
Na rĩrĩa andũ a Misiri othe maambĩrĩirie kũigua ngʼaragu-rĩ, magĩkaĩra Firaũni amahe irio. Nake Firaũni akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi kũrĩ Jusufu na mwĩke ũrĩa ekũmwĩra.”
56 And the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.
Rĩrĩa ngʼaragu yagĩire bũrũri wothe-rĩ, Jusufu akĩhingũra makũmbĩ ma irio, akĩenderia andũ a Misiri ngano, nĩgũkorwo ngʼaragu yarĩ nene mũno Misiri guothe.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.
Namo mabũrũri mothe magĩũka Misiri kũrĩ Jusufu kũgũra ngano, tondũ ngʼaragu ĩyo yarĩ nene mũno thĩ yothe.
