< Genesis 41 >

1 And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer,
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka ĩĩrĩ mĩgima yathira-rĩ, Firaũni akĩroota kĩroto: Akĩona arũgamĩte rũteere-inĩ rwa Rũũĩ rwa Nili;
2 And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe:
na rĩrĩ, gũkiumĩra ngʼombe mũgwanja njega na noru kuuma thĩinĩ wa rũũĩ rũu, na igĩitĩka kũrĩa nyeki ithanjĩ-inĩ.
3 And loe, seuen other kine came vp after the out of the riuer, euill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stoode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer.
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 euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke.
Na rĩrĩ, ngʼombe icio njongʼi na hĩnju ikĩrĩa ngʼombe iria mũgwanja njega na noru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni akĩũrwo nĩ toro.
5 Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly.
Ningĩ Firaũni agĩkoma rĩngĩ na akĩroota kĩroto gĩa keerĩ: Magira mũgwanja mega ma ngano, maiyũrĩte ngano, maakũraga kamũtĩ-inĩ kamwe ka ngano.
6 And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
Thuutha wamo gũgĩthethũka magira mangĩ mũgwanja ma ngano mahĩnju, mahaana ta macinĩtwo nĩ rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro.
7 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
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 Nowe when the morning came, his spirit was troubled: therefore he sent and called all the soothsayers of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh tolde them his dreames: but none coulde interprete 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 spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ nĩndaririkanio mahĩtia makwa.
10 Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
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 Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
Ũtukũ ũmwe-rĩ, o ũmwe witũ akĩroota kĩroto, na o kĩroto kĩarĩ na ũtaũri wakĩo mwanya.
12 And there was with vs a yong man, an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame.
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 as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him.
Namo maũndũ magĩkĩka o ta ũrĩa aatũtaũrĩire. Niĩ ngĩcookio wĩra-inĩ wakwa, nake mũndũ ũcio ũngĩ agĩcuurio mũtĩ igũrũ.”
14 Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came 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 Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete 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 Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.
Jusufu agĩcookeria Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mwene ndingĩhota, no Ngai nĩekũhe Firaũni macookio marĩa arenda.”
17 And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa-rĩ, ndĩrarũgamĩte hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili,
18 And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
rĩrĩa haroimĩrire ngʼombe mũgwanja njega na noru kuuma rũũĩ, na iraitĩka kũrĩa kũu ithanjĩ-inĩ.
19 Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.
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 leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
Nacio ngʼombe icio hĩnju na njongʼi irarĩa ngʼombe iria mũgwanja noru iria iroimĩrĩte mbere.
21 And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake.
No rĩrĩ, o na ciarĩkia gũcirĩa-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩramenyire atĩ nĩirarĩĩte; tondũ ironekaga irĩ o njongʼi o ta mbere. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndĩrokĩra.
22 Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
“Ningĩ irooto-inĩ ciakwa-rĩ, nĩndĩronire magira mũgwanja mega ma ngano na maiyũrĩte ngano, magĩkũũra kamũtĩ-inĩ ka ngano.
23 And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
Thuutha wamo, magira mangĩ mũgwanja marathethũka, marĩ mahoohu na macinĩtwo nĩ rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro.
24 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto 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 Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
Nake Jusufu akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Irooto cia Firaũni cierĩ no kĩroto kĩmwe. Ngai nĩaguũrĩirie Firaũni ũrĩa akiriĩ gwĩka.
26 The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
Ngʼombe iria mũgwanja njega nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja, na magira marĩa mũgwanja mega ma ngano nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja; kĩroto kĩu no kĩmwe.
27 Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres 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 thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
“Na o ta ũrĩa ndeera Firaũni: Ngai nĩ oneetie Firaũni ũrĩa akiriĩ gwĩka.
29 Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
Nĩgũgũkorwo na mĩaka mũgwanja ya bũthi mũnene bũrũri wothe wa Misiri,
30 Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land:
no nĩgũgũcooka kũrũmĩrĩrwo nĩ mĩaka mũgwanja ya ngʼaragu. Naguo bũthi ũcio wothe wa Misiri nĩũkariganĩra, nayo ngʼaragu nĩĩkananga bũrũri ũyũ.
31 Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
Bũthi wa bũrũri ndũkaririkanwo, tondũ ngʼaragu ĩrĩa ĩgacooka kũgĩa nĩĩgakorwo ĩrĩ nene mũno.
32 And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it.
Gĩtũmi kĩa Firaũni aheo kĩroto kĩu maita meerĩ, nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatuĩte nĩegwĩka ũndũ ũcio, na ekũwĩka o narua.
33 Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.
“Rĩu Firaũni nĩacarie mũndũ ũũĩ gũkũũrana maũndũ na mũndũ mũũgĩ, amũtue mũrũgamĩrĩri wa bũrũri wa Misiri.
34 Let Pharaoh make and appoynt officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeeres.
O na ningĩ Firaũni nĩagĩthuure atabarĩri a bũrũri a kuoyaga gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithano kĩa magetha ma Misiri mĩaka-inĩ ĩyo mũgwanja ya bũthi.
35 Also let them gather all the foode of these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the cities, and let them keepe 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 So the foode shall be for the prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of Egypt, that the land perish not by 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 saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants.
Firaũni na anene ake makĩona mũbango ũcio ũrĩ mwega.
38 Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “No tuone mũndũ ũngĩ ta ũyũ, mũndũ ũrĩ na roho wa Ngai thĩinĩ wake?”
39 The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee.
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 ouer mine house, and at thy word shall all my people be armed, onely in the kings throne will I be aboue thee.
Wee nĩwe ũkũrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki, na andũ akwa othe marĩathĩkagĩra watho waku. Ũndũ ngũgũkĩra naguo no atĩrĩ, niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũthamaki.”
41 Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Kuuma rĩu nĩndagũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.”
42 And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke.
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 So he set him vpon the best charet that hee had, saue one: and they cryed before him, Abrech, and placed him ouer 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 Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote 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 Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in 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 Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the 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 seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store.
Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩyo mũgwanja ya bũthi, bũrũri ũcio ũgĩciara maciaro maingĩ mũno.
48 And hee gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same.
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 So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: 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 Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him.
Mĩaka ya ngʼaragu ĩtaanakinya-rĩ, Jusufu nĩaciarĩirwo tũhĩĩ twĩrĩ nĩ Asenathu mwarĩ wa Potifera, mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Onu.
51 And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold.
Jusufu agĩĩta irigithathi rĩake Manase, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatũmĩte ndiganĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna wakwa wothe na nyũmba ya baba yothe.”
52 Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
Nako kahĩĩ ga keerĩ, agĩgeeta Efiraimu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Ngai nĩatũmĩte ngĩe na maciaro bũrũri-inĩ wa mĩnyamaro yakwa.”
53 So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
Nayo mĩaka mũgwanja ya bũthi kũu Misiri ĩgĩthira,
54 Then began the seuen yeeres of famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the land of Egypt 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 At the length all the lande of Egypt was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said vnto all the Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye.
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 When the famine was vpon all the land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore 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 to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.
Namo mabũrũri mothe magĩũka Misiri kũrĩ Jusufu kũgũra ngano, tondũ ngʼaragu ĩyo yarĩ nene mũno thĩ yothe.
