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.
Le ƒe eve megbe la, Farao ku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me be yetsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
Tete nyi dami adre do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wonɔ gbe ɖum.
3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and lean-fleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
Emegbe nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me, ke woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui, eye woƒe axaƒutiwo do. Woyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe nyinɔ dami adreawo gbɔ.
4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Nyi ɖikuawo lé nyinɔ damiawo mi! Tete Farao nyɔ!
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Egayi alɔ̃ me kaba, eye wògaku drɔ̃e bubu. Azɔ ya la, ekpɔ bli adre siwo ʋã nyuie la le bliti ɖeka dzi.
6 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Enumake bli bubu adre gado ɖe bliti la dzi, ke esiawo ya meʋã kura o, eye ɣedzeƒeya na woyrɔ.
7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Bli yɔyrɔe siawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo! Farao ganyɔ, eye wòdze sii be drɔ̃e sɔŋ ko wonye.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof; and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
Esi ŋu ke, eye wòbu drɔ̃eawo ŋu la, etsi dzimaɖi ŋutɔ le nu si drɔ̃eawo ate ŋu aɖe afia la ŋu. Eyɔ afakalawo kple nunyalawo katã le Egiptenyigba dzi ƒo ƒu, eye wòlĩ drɔ̃eawo na wo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme o.
9 Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day:
Tete fia ƒe ahakula gblɔ na Farao be, “Egbe la, meɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃ dzi.
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in the ward of the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
Ɣe aɖe ɣi va yi esi nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mí ame eve ŋu, eye nède nye kple aboloƒola gaxɔ me le ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe mɔ me la,
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
nye kple aboloƒola míeku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me.
12 And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
Míelĩ drɔ̃eawo na Hebri ɖekakpui aɖe, ame si nye ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã la ƒe kluvi le gaxɔa me, eye wòɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.'
“Eye nu sia nu va eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe ene; nye ahakudɔ gaka asinye, wotso ta le aboloƒola nu, eye wotɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu.”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Farao ɖo du ɖe Yosef enumake. Woɖee le gaxɔa me kaba; eko ta, di awu bubuwo do alɔtsɔtsɔe, eye wòdo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it; and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.'
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meku drɔ̃e aɖe le zã si va yi la me, gake ame siawo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe egɔme nam o. Ke mese be ètea ŋu ɖea drɔ̃ewo gɔme, eya ta mena woyɔ wò nam.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: 'It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'
Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Nyemate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃e la gɔme le ɖokuinye si o, ke Mawu ya ate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃ea gɔme na wò!”
17 And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph: 'In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
Ale Farao lĩ drɔ̃e la nɛ be, “Metsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to;
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass.
tete nyi dami siwo ƒe lãme nyo nyuie la do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wode asi gbeɖuɖu me le tɔsisi la to.
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
Ke nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me. Woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui; nyemekpɔ nyinɔ ɖiku mawo tɔgbi kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi o.
20 And the lean and ill-favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.
Nyi ɖiku siawo lé nyinɔ dami siwo do tso tɔsisi la me gbã la mi,
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favoured as at the beginning. So I awoke.
eye emegbe la, wogaɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui abe ale si tututu wonɔ tsã la ene, eye menyɔ!
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
“Eteƒe medidi kura hafi megaku drɔ̃e bubu o. Azɔ ya la, bli adre nɔ bliti ɖeka dzi; bliawo katã ʋã nyuie.
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Bli adre bubuwo gado ɖe bliti ma ke dzi, ke woawo meʋã o, ke boŋ woyrɔ.
24 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.'
Bli yɔyrɔawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo. “Megblɔ esiawo katã na nye afakalawo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme nam o.”
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: 'The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do He hath declared unto Pharaoh.
Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Gɔmeɖeɖe ɖeka koe le drɔ̃e eveawo si. Mawu nɔ nu si wòava wɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi la gblɔm na wò.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Nyi dami adreawo kple bli ʋaʋã adreawo fia be le ƒe adre siwo gbɔna me la, nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
27 And the seven lean and ill-favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.
Nyi ɖiku adreawo kple bli maʋamaʋã yɔyrɔ adreawo fia be ƒe adre ƒe dɔwuame adze ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu abɔ la yome.
28 That is the thing which I spoke unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He hath shown unto Pharaoh.
“Ale Mawu ɖe nu si wɔ ge wòala la fia wò.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
Nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi le ƒe adre gbãtɔ siwo gbɔna la me.
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
Ke le ƒe mawo yome la, dɔwuame ava ƒe adre, eye enu asesẽ ale gbegbe be nuɖuɖu si bɔ tsã la avɔ, woaŋlɔ woƒe bɔbɔ kpɔ be le Egipte, eye dɔwuame agblẽ anyigba la dzi.
31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.
“Dɔwuame la nu asesẽ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku edzi be nuɖuɖu bɔ kpɔ o.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Drɔ̃e eve siawo le nu eve fiam Farao; wofia be nya siwo megblɔ na mi la le eme va ge kokoko, elabena Mawu ɖo wo da ɖi, eye woava eme kaba.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Susu si mado ɖa lae nye be Farao nadi nunyala gãtɔ kekeake le Egipte, eye nàtsɔe aɖo agbledede ƒe ɖoɖowo nu le anyigba blibo la dzi.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty.
Mina Farao natia dɔdzikpɔla ɖe anyigba la dzi be woaxɔ Egipte ƒe nuŋeŋe ƒe atɔ̃lia ɖeka le ƒe adreawo me.
35 And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
Woaƒo nuɖuɖuawo nu ƒu le ƒe nyui siwo gbɔna la me, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le duwo me na Farao,
36 And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.'
ale be nuɖuɖu nasɔ gbɔ ate ŋu akplɔ mí to ƒe adre siwo dɔwuame anɔ anyi le Egipte la me. Ne menye nenema o la, tsɔtsrɔ̃ ava anyigba la dzi.”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Farao kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo xɔ Yosef ƒe nyawo.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants: 'Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?'
Esi wode ŋugble tso ame si woahiã na dɔ sia ŋu la, Farao gblɔ be, “Ame kae ate ŋu awɔ dɔ vevi sia nyuie wu Yosef? Elabena enye ame si yɔ fũu kple Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ.”
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
Farao trɔ ɖe Yosef gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Zi ale si Mawu ɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme fia wò ko la, wòe nye nunyala gãtɔ le dukɔa me,
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou.'
eya ta metsɔ wò ɖo dɔ blibo la nu. Nya sia nya si nàgblɔ la, woawɔ edzi le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Nye ɖeka koe aganye amegã na wò.”
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'
Ale Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meto esia me tsɔ wò ɖo Egiptenyigba blibo la nu.”
42 And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
Tete Farao ɖe eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ le asi hetsɔ de na Yosef; edo aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu nɛ, eye wòde sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ kɔ nɛ.
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him: 'Abrech'; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Emegbe la, Farao tsɔ tasiaɖam si kplɔ fia tɔ ɖo la na Yosef, eye afi sia afi si wòyi ko la, ɣli ɖina be, “Midze klo!”
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.'
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Nye, Egipte fia, meka atam na wò be, ànɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la nu le go sia go me.”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. —
Farao tsɔ ŋkɔ yeye na Yosef be Zafenat Paneah. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Amewo ƒe agbeɖela, Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ tɔgbi ɖe ku kple agbe dzi.” Farao tsɔ nyɔnuvi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Asenat, eye wònye Potifera, ame si nye On nunɔla la, ƒe vinyɔnu na Yosef wòɖe. Ale Yosef zu ame xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. — And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòge ɖe Farao, Egipte fia ƒe dɔ me. Yosef dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòde asi tsatsa me le anyigba blibo la dzi.
47 And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth in heaps.
Vavã, le ƒe adre gbãtɔwo me la, nukuwo wɔ nyuie ŋutɔ le afi sia afi.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
Le ƒe mawo me la, Yosef de se be woatsɔ nuku ɖe sia ɖe si woaxa le Egipte la ƒe akpa aɖe ana dziɖuɖu, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le du gãwo me.
49 And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
Le ƒe adrea ƒe nuwuwu la, avawo yɔ, eye nuɖuɖu si wodzɔ na dziɖuɖu la sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke meganya akɔnta le eŋu o.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On bore unto him.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me, hafi dɔwuame ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ naɖo la, Asenat, Potifera si nye On nunɔla ƒe vinyɔnu la dzi vi eve na Yosef.
51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: 'for God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.'
Ena ŋkɔ gbãtɔ be Manase si gɔmee nye “Meŋlɔ be.” Nu si Yosef di be yeafia lae nye be Mawu ve ye nu ale gbegbe be yeŋlɔ yeƒe ɖekakpuimefuwo kple yeƒe dzodzo le yewo de be.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
Ena ŋkɔ Via ŋutsu evelia be Efraim si gɔmee nye “Kutsetse,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu na metse ku le teƒe sia, afi si menye kluvi le.”
53 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Ale ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu bɔ le Egipte la wu enu,
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said; and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
eye dɔwuame ƒe ƒe adreawo dze egɔme abe ale si Yosef gblɔe da ɖi ene. Nukuwo gblẽ le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la me, ke nuɖuɖu bɔ ɖe avawo me le Egipte.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians: 'Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.'
Dɔ de asi Egipte dukɔ la wuwu me. Woɖe kuku na Farao be wòana nuɖuɖu yewo. Eɖo wo ɖe Yosef gbɔ kple nya siawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòagblɔ na mi be miawɔ la.”
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth; and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.
Esi dɔwuame kaka ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi la, Yosef ʋu avawo, eye wòdzra nuɖuɖu na Egiptetɔwo, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le anyigba la katã dzi.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth.
Eye amewo tso dukɔwo katã me va Egipte be yewoaƒle bli le Yosef gbɔ, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le xexea me katã.
