Genesis 41
1 And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer,
post duos annos vidit Pharao somnium putabat se stare super fluvium
2 And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe:
de quo ascendebant septem boves pulchrae et crassae nimis et pascebantur in locis palustribus
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.
aliae quoque septem emergebant de flumine foedae confectaeque macie et pascebantur in ipsa amnis ripa in locis virentibus
4 And the euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke.
devoraveruntque eas quarum mira species et habitudo corporum erat expergefactus Pharao
5 Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly.
rursum dormivit et vidit alterum somnium septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque formonsae
6 And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
aliae quoque totidem spicae tenues et percussae uredine oriebantur
7 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
devorantes omnem priorum pulchritudinem evigilans post quietem
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.
et facto mane pavore perterritus misit ad coniectores Aegypti cunctosque sapientes et accersitis narravit somnium nec erat qui interpretaretur
9 Then spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day.
tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister ait confiteor peccatum meum
10 Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
iratus rex servis suis me et magistrum pistorum retrudi iussit in carcerem principis militum
11 Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium praesagum futurorum
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.
erat ibi puer hebraeus eiusdem ducis militum famulus cui narrantes somnia
13 And as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him.
audivimus quicquid postea rei probavit eventus ego enim redditus sum officio meo et ille suspensus est in cruce
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.
protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Ioseph totonderunt ac veste mutata obtulerunt ei
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.
cui ille ait vidi somnia nec est qui edisserat quae audivi te prudentissime conicere
16 And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.
respondit Ioseph absque me Deus respondebit prospera Pharaoni
17 And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
narravit ergo ille quod viderat putabam me stare super ripam fluminis
18 And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
et septem boves de amne conscendere pulchras nimis et obesis carnibus quae in pastu paludis virecta carpebant
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.
et ecce has sequebantur aliae septem boves in tantum deformes et macilentae ut numquam tales in terra Aegypti viderim
20 And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
quae devoratis et consumptis prioribus
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.
nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium sed simili macie et squalore torpebant evigilans rursum sopore depressus
22 Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
vidi somnium septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque pulcherrimae
23 And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
aliae quoque septem tenues et percussae uredine oriebantur stipula
24 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.
quae priorum pulchritudinem devorarunt narravi coniectoribus somnium et nemo est qui edisserat
25 Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
respondit Ioseph somnium regis unum est quae facturus est Deus ostendit Pharaoni
26 The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
septem boves pulchrae et septem spicae plenae septem ubertatis anni sunt eandemque vim somnii conprehendunt
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.
septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentae quae ascenderunt post eas et septem spicae tenues et vento urente percussae septem anni sunt venturae famis
28 This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
qui hoc ordine conplebuntur
29 Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnae in universa terra Aegypti
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:
quos sequentur septem anni alii tantae sterilitatis ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia consumptura est enim fames omnem terram
31 Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura inopiae magnitudo
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.
quod autem vidisti secundo ad eandem rem pertinens somnium firmitatis indicium est eo quod fiat sermo Dei et velocius impleatur
33 Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.
nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium et praeficiat eum terrae Aegypti
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.
qui constituat praepositos per singulas regiones et quintam partem fructuum per septem annos fertilitatis
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.
qui iam nunc futuri sunt congreget in horrea et omne frumentum sub Pharaonis potestate condatur serveturque in urbibus
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.
et paretur futurae septem annorum fami quae pressura est Aegyptum et non consumetur terra inopia
37 And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants.
placuit Pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris eius
38 Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?
locutusque est ad eos num invenire poterimus talem virum qui spiritu Dei plenus sit
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.
dixit ergo ad Ioseph quia ostendit Deus tibi omnia quae locutus es numquid sapientiorem et similem tui invenire potero
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.
tu eris super domum meam et ad tui oris imperium cunctus populus oboediet uno tantum regni solio te praecedam
41 Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
dicens quoque rursum Pharao ad Ioseph ecce constitui te super universam terram Aegypti
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.
tulit anulum de manu sua et dedit in manu eius vestivitque eum stola byssina et collo torquem auream circumposuit
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.
fecitque ascendere super currum suum secundum clamante praecone ut omnes coram eo genuflecterent et praepositum esse scirent universae terrae Aegypti
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.
dixit quoque rex ad Ioseph ego sum Pharao absque tuo imperio non movebit quisquam manum aut pedem in omni terra Aegypti
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.
vertitque nomen illius et vocavit eum lingua aegyptiaca Salvatorem mundi dedit quoque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos egressus itaque Ioseph ad terram Aegypti
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.
triginta autem erat annorum quando stetit in conspectu regis Pharaonis circuivit omnes regiones Aegypti
47 And in the seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store.
venitque fertilitas septem annorum et in manipulos redactae segetes congregatae sunt in horrea Aegypti
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.
omnis etiam frugum abundantia in singulis urbibus condita est
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.
tantaque fuit multitudo tritici ut harenae maris coaequaretur et copia mensuram excederet
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.
nati sunt autem Ioseph filii duo antequam veniret fames quos ei peperit Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos
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.
vocavitque nomen primogeniti Manasse dicens oblivisci me fecit Deus omnium laborum meorum et domum patris mei
52 Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
nomen quoque secundi appellavit Ephraim dicens crescere me fecit Deus in terra paupertatis meae
53 So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
igitur transactis septem annis ubertatis qui fuerant in Aegypto
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.
coeperunt venire septem anni inopiae quos praedixerat Ioseph et in universo orbe fames praevaluit in cuncta autem terra Aegypti erat panis
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.
qua esuriente clamavit populus ad Pharaonem alimenta petens quibus ille respondit ite ad Ioseph et quicquid vobis dixerit facite
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.
crescebat autem cotidie fames in omni terra aperuitque Ioseph universa horrea et vendebat Aegyptiis nam et illos oppresserat fames
57 And all countries came to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.
omnesque provinciae veniebant in Aegyptum ut emerent escas et malum inopiae temperarent
