Genesis 41
1 A full two years later, Pharaoh had a dream that he was standing beside the River Nile.
Ie peake ty taoñe roe, le nañinofy t’i Parò, inao! ie nijohañe marine i saka Nailey,
2 He saw seven cows coming up from the river. They looked well-fed and healthy as they grazed among the reeds.
le inge nitroatse amy Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho niogoògo vaho nihinañe amo vondroñeo.
3 Then he saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked ugly and skinny as they stood beside the other cows on the bank of the Nile.
Nitroatse nanonjohy irezay ty tamanañe fito niriverive naho boroka nijagarodoñe marine i fito ila’e añ’olo’ i Nailey rey.
4 Then the ugly, skinny cows ate the well-fed, healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
Nabotse’ i añombe rene’e fito molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake rey, le nivañoñe t’i Parò.
5 Pharaoh fell asleep again and had a second dream. Seven heads of grain were growing on one stalk, ripe and healthy.
Nirotse indraike re nañinofy fañindroe’e: Hehe te sambe aman-taho’e raike ty voto tsako fito vañoñe toe daoza’e.
6 Then seven heads of grain grew up after them, thin and dried by the east wind.
Inge ka ty voto-tsako lolondo’e fito, manifitse, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñana nitiry afara.
7 The seven thin and dried heads of grain swallowed up the ripe and healthy ones. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized he'd been dreaming.
Nagodra’ i voto manifitse rey i voto fito daoza’e vokatse rey. Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Parò le nizoe’e te nofy.
8 The next morning Pharaoh was worried by his dreams, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men in Egypt. Pharaoh told them about his dreams, but no one could interpret their meaning for him.
Ie nimaraiñe le niembetse ty arofo’e; aa le nirahe’e ty hikoike ze fonga tsimaito’ i Mitsraime naho ze hene mahihitse ama’e ao. Natalili’ i Parò ama’e o nofi’eo fe leo raike tsy nahavaky irezay amy Parò.
9 But then the chief cupbearer spoke up. “Today I've just remembered a bad mistake I've made,” he explained.
Aa le hoe ty asa’ i beim-panjotso fitoviy amy Parò, Nampitiahie’ ty andro toy ahiko o tahikoo.
10 “Your Majesty was angry with some of your officials and you imprisoned me in the house of the commander of the guard, along with the chief baker.
Teo te niviñera’ i Parò o mpitoro’eo vaho sindre najo’e am-balabey añ’anjomba’ i beim-pigaritsey, izaho naho i beim-panoñakey.
11 We each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning.
Songa nañinofy amy haleñey, ie naho izaho, sindre aman-dika’e i ninofise’ey.
12 A young Hebrew was there with us, a slave of the commander of the guard. When we told him our dreams, he interpreted for us the meaning of our different dreams.
Nitraok’ ama’ay ty ajalahy nte-Evre, mpitoro’ i beim-pigaritsey. Natalili’ay ama’e, le nadika’e ama’ay o nofi’aio, sambe nadika’e ama’e i ninofise’ey.
13 Everything happened just as he said it would—I was given back my job and the baker was hanged.”
Ie amy zay, i nandika’e ama’aiy ty nefetsake: nahereñe amy tolon-drahakoy iraho vaho nanoan-tsingere mañaty i mpanoñakey.
14 Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they quickly brought him from the prison. After he'd shaved and changed his clothes, he was presented to Pharaoh.
Aa le nampañitrife’ i Parò t’Iosefe, le navota’ iareo masìka am-balabey ao; nihitsike re naho nañova saroñe vaho niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but no one can interpret its meaning. But I've heard that when someone tells you a dream you know how to interpret it.”
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Nañinofy iraho, vaho tsy eo ty mahafandika aze. Fe tsinanoko ty ama’o te ihe ty mahavaky nofy naho maha-dika aze.
16 “It's not me who can do this,” Joseph replied. “But God will explain its meaning to set Your Majesty's mind at rest.”
Tinoi’ Iosefe t’i Parò ami’ty hoe, Tsy amako fa i Andrianañahare ty hanoiñe i Parò an-kanintsiñe.
17 Pharaoh explained to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile.
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Ie nijohañe añ’ olo’ i Nailey amy nofikoy le
18 I saw seven cows coming up from the river. They looked well-fed and healthy as they grazed among the reeds.
naheoko te niakatse i Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake nihinañe amo vondroñeo.
19 Then I saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked sickly and ugly and skinny—I've never seen such ugly cows in the whole of Egypt!
Inge amy zao te nitroatse boak’ ao nanonjohy iareo ty añombe fito raty, loho molonko, naho boròka. Mbe liako tsy nahatrea i haraty zay an-tane Mitsraime atoy.
20 These skinny, ugly cows ate the first seven healthy-looking cows.
Nagodra’ i añombe rene’e molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e vondrake rey,
21 But afterwards you couldn't tell they'd eaten them because they looked just as skinny and ugly as before. Then I woke up.
fe ndra t’ie nampibotseke tsy ho naharendre’ ondaty te nahabeake kanao mbe nihambañe amy teoy ty harati’ iereo. Le nitsekake iraho.
22 Then I fell asleep again. In my second dream I saw seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, ripe and healthy.
Ie amy nofikoy le mbore nahatrea voto tsako fito vañoñe naho soa, sambe niboak’ ami’ty taho’e raike.
23 Then seven heads of grain grew up after them, withered and thin and dried by the east wind.
Indrok’ amy zao te niboake manonjohy iereo ty voto-tsako fito jiba, kifo’e, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñanañe,
24 The seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the healthy ones. I told all this to the magicians, but none of them could explain its meaning to me.”
le nabotse’ i voto beikolopoke rey i voto fito soa rey. Aa ie nataliliko amo ambiasao, leo raike tsy nahabejañ’aze amako.
25 “Pharaoh's dreams mean the same thing,” Joseph responded. “God is telling Pharaoh what he is going to do.
Aa hoe t’Iosefe amy Parò, Raike ty nofi’ i Parò; fa nabentan’ Añahare amy Parò ty hanoe’e aniany.
26 The seven good cows and the seven good heads of grain represent seven good years of harvest. The dreams mean the same thing.
I añombe fito soa rey ro fito taoñe; vaho fito taoñe ka i voto tsako fito soa rey; hambañe i nofy rey.
27 The seven skinny and ugly cows that came after them and the seven thin heads of grain dried by the east wind represent seven years of famine.
I añombe fito boroka naho molònko rey ro fito taoñe, manahake izay i kifo’e fito jinoi’ i tiok’ atiñanañey rey. San-tsalikoañe fito taoñe izay.
28 It's just as I told Your Majesty—God has shown Pharaoh what he is going to do.
Ie i vinolako amy Paròy, te nabentan’ Añahare amy Parò i hanoe’ey.
29 There are going to be seven years with plenty of food produced throughout the whole country of Egypt.
Inao! handrambañe an-tane Mitsraime atoy fito taoñe ty san-kavokaram-bey.
30 But after them will come seven years of famine. People will forget the time when there was plenty of food throughout Egypt. Famine will ruin the country.
Hanonjohy izay te hitroatse ty san-kasalikoañe fito taoñe; le fonga ho haliño an-tane Mitsraime atoy i havokarañey; vaho habotse’ ty san-kerè i taney.
31 The time of plenty will be completely forgotten because the famine that follows it will be so terrible.
Tsy ho tiahy an-tane atoy ka i havokarañey amy hasalikoañe hanonjohy azey ami’ty hamafe’ i haoreañey.
32 The fact that the dream was repeated twice means that it has definitely been decided by God, and that God is going to do this soon.
Aa kanao nifañin-droe’e i nofi’ i Paròy le fa natsaton’ Añahare i rahay vaho antitotse ty andro hametsahan’Añahare aze.
33 So Your Majesty should choose a man with insight and wisdom, and put him in charge of the whole country of Egypt.
Aa soa re te ho joboñe’ i Parò t’indaty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse hampifehea’e ty tane Mitsraime,
34 Your Majesty should also appoint officials to be in charge of the land, and have them collect one-fifth of the produce of the country during the seven years of plenty.
vaho hamototse higene mpisary amy taney t’i Parò handrambe ty faha-lime’ i taney amy fito taoñe vokatse rey.
35 They should collect all the food during the good years that are soon coming, and store the grain under Pharaoh's authority, keeping it under guard to provide food for the towns.
Le hatonto’ iareo ze hene mahakama amy taon-joba hitotsake rey, naho hahaja ambanem-pità’ i Parò i tsakoy hañajàñe mahakama amo rovao.
36 This will be a food reserve for the country during the seven years of famine so that the people won't die of starvation.”
Ahaja ho a i taney i mahakamay, ho amy taon-kerè fito hifetsak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoy rey tsy haitoa’ ty san-kasalikoañe ty tane toy.
37 Pharaoh and all his officials thought Joseph's proposal was a good idea.
Ni-no’ i Parò naho ze hene mpitoro’e i saontsy zay.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Where can we find a man like this who has the spirit of God in him?”
Le hoe t’i Parò amo mpitoro’eo, Hahaoniñe ondaty mañirinkiriñe itoy hao tika—ie aman’ Arofon’ Añahare?
39 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, telling him, “Since God has revealed to you all this, and there's no one like you with such insight and wisdom,
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Kanao nabentan’ Añahare ama’o i he’e zay, tsy eo ty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse te ama’o.
40 you will be in charge of all my affairs, and all my people will obey your orders. Only I with my status as king will be greater than you.”
Feheo ty trañoko, ihe ‘nio, vaho ty falie’o ro hampitsaoke ondatiko iabio; i fiambesam-panjakañey avao ty mahabey ahy te ama’o.
41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Look, I'm putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
Le hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Hehe, fonga nampifeheko azo ty tane Mitsraime;
42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothes and placed a golden chain around his neck.
le nafaha’ i Parò am-pità’e i bange-fitombo’ey naho naombe’e am-pità’ Iosefe naho sinaro’e siki-leny naho niravahe’e tohi-rozañe volamena ty fititia’e
43 He had Joseph ride in the chariot designated for his second-in-command while his attendants went ahead, shouting, “Bow down!” This is how Pharaoh gave Joseph authority over all of Egypt.
vaho nampijoñe’e amy sareten-tsorotà’ey le nikoikoiheñe aolo’e mb’eo ty hoe: Mitongalefa! Le nampandilie’e iaby i tane Mitsraimey.
44 Then Pharaoh told Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission nobody will lift a hand or a foot anywhere in the whole country.”
Nanao ty hoe am’ Iosefe t’i Parò, Izaho o Parò zao, fe naho tsy ihe, le tsy eo ty hañonjo fitàñe ndra fandia an-tane Mitsraime atoy iaby.
45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and arranged for him to marry Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. This is how Joseph rose to power over the whole of Egypt.
Nomei’ i Parò ty tahina Tsofnate-paneàke t’Iosefe le natolots’ aze ho vali’e t’i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera, mpisoro’ i One; vaho nionjom-beo nanitsike i tane Mitsraimey t’Iosefe.
46 Joseph was thirty when he started working for Pharaoh, king of Egypt. After he had left Pharaoh, Joseph traveled on an inspection tour throughout Egypt.
Ni-telopolo taoñe t’Iosefe te nijohañe aolo’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime. Niavotse añ’atrefa’ i Parò t’Iosefe vaho nitsitsihe’e ty tane Mitsraime.
47 During the seven years of good harvests, the land produced plenty of food.
Namokatse am-botri’e i taney amy taoñe fito vañoñe rey.
48 He collected all the food during the seven good years, and he stored the grain produced in the local fields in each town.
Aa le hene natonto’e ze mahakama an-tane Mitsraime ao amy fito taoñe rey vaho nahaja’e amo rovao o mahakamao; songa rova ro nañajañe ty mahakama boak’ amo teteke mañohok’ azeo.
49 Joseph piled up so much grain that it was like the sand of the seashore. Eventually he stopped keeping records because there was just so much!
Nañaja tsako mira amo fasen-driakeo t’Iosefe, tsifotofoto kanao tsy nahafañiak’ aze, amy te loho bey tsy nilefe volily.
50 It was during this time, before the years of famine came, that Joseph had two sons by Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Nahatoly ana-dahy roe t’Iosefe aolo’ o taom-polakeo, toe nisamaha’ i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera mpisoro’ i One.
51 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, because he said, “The Lord has made me forget all my troubles and all my father's family.”
Natao’ Iosefe Menasè ty añara’ i tañoloñoloña’ey, fa hoe re, Nampandikofen’ Añahare ahy i hene fisotriakoy naho ty anjomban-draeko iaby.
52 His second son he named Ephraim, because he said, “God has made me fruitful in the country of my misery.”
Natao’e Efraime ty faharoe, amy te: Nampiraorao ahy an-tane nampiore ahy ao t’i Andrianañahare.
53 The seven years of plenty in Egypt came to an end,
Nimodo amy zao i taoñe fito vokatse an-tane Mitsraimey rey;
54 and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other countries but the whole of Egypt had food.
le niorotse nitsatoke i fito taon-tsan-kerè rey ty amy saontsi’ Iosefey. Hene nikerè ze tane añe fe hene ama’ mahakama o an-tane Mitsraimeo.
55 When all of Egypt was hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, and he told everyone, “Go and see Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
Ie fonga nisalikoeñe ty antane Mitsraime, le nitoreo mahakama amy Parò ondatio. Aa hoe t’i Parò amo nte-Mitsraime iabio, Akia mb’am’ Iosefe mb’eo le ze taroñe’e ama’ areo ty hanoe’ areo.
56 The famine had spread all over the country so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the people of Egypt. The famine was very bad in Egypt,
Aa naho nandrambañe ty tane toy i san-kerèy, le sinoka’ Iosefe o riha iabio vaho naleta’e amo nte-Mitsraimeo, amy te nimafe ty kerè an-tane Mitsraime ao.
57 in fact the famine was very bad everywhere, so people from other countries all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph.
Niheo am’Iosefe e Mitsraime ao iaby ty tane toy hivily tsako, amy te nanitsike ty tane bey toy ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañey.
