< 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.
Makore maviri azere akati apfuura, Faro akarota hope: Akanga amire paRwizi Nairi.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
Uye mhou nomwe dzakanga dzakanaka, dzakakora, dzakabuda murwizi dzikafura pakati petsanga.
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.
Shure kwadzo, dzimwe mhou nomwe, dzakanga dzakashata uye dzakaonda, dzakabuda muna Nairi, dzikamira parutivi rwedziya dzaiva kumahombekombe orwizi.
4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Uye mhou dziya dzakanga dzakashata, dzakaonda, dzakadya mhou dziya dzakanga dzakanaka uye dzakakora. Ipapo Faro akapepuka.
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Akavatazve hope uye akarota kechipiri: Hura dzezviyo nomwe dzakanga dzakakora uye dzakanaka, dzakanga dzichikura padzinde rimwe.
6 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Shure kwadzo, dzimwe hura nomwe dzezviyo dzakabuda, dzakatetepa uye dzakapiswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva.
7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Hura dzezviyo dzakatetepa dzakamedza dziya nomwe dzakanga dzakakora, hura dzakanga dzizere. Ipapo akapepuka, onei kwakanga kuri kurota.
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.
Mangwanani pfungwa dzake dzakatambudzika, saka akatuma shoko kunʼanga dzose navachenjeri veIjipiti. Faro akavaudza kurota kwake, asi hakuna munhu akagona kuzvidudzira kwaari.
9 Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day:
Ipapo mudiri mukuru akati kuna Faro, “Nhasi ndinorangarira kutadza kwangu.
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.
Pane imwe nguva Faro akatsamwira varanda vake, uye akandipfigira ini nomubiki mukuru mumba momukuru wavarindi.
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Mumwe nomumwe wedu akarota hope usiku humwe chetehwo, uye kurota kumwe nokumwe kwaiva nedudziro yako.
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.
Zvino jaya rechiHebheru rakanga rinesu, iye muranda womukuru wavarindi, takamuudza kurota kwedu, iye akakududzira kwatiri, achipa murume mumwe nomumwe dudziro yehope dzake.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.'
Uye zvinhu zvakaitika chaizvo sezvaakadudzira kwatiri: Ini ndakadzoserwa pabasa rangu, uye mumwe murume uye akasungirirwa.”
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.
Saka Faro akatuma vanhu kuna Josefa, uye akakurumidza kubudiswa mugomba. Akati aveurwa musoro uye apfeka dzimwe nguo, akauya pamberi paFaro.
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.'
Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Ndakarota hope, uye hakuna munhu akagona kudzidudzira. Asi ndanzwa zvarehwa nezvako kuti paunonzwa kurota uku, unogona kukududzira.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: 'It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'
Josefa akapindura Faro akati, “Ini handigoni kuzviita, asi Mwari achapa Faro mhinduro yaanoda.”
17 And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph: 'In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
Ipapo Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Mukurota kwangu, ndakanga ndimire pamahombekombe aNairi,
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass.
ipapo ndikaona mhou nomwe dzichibuda murwizi, dzakakora uye dzakanaka, uye dzikafura pakati petsanga.
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.
Shure kwadzo, dzimwe mhou nomwe dzakabuda, dzine nzara uye dzakashata uye dzakaonda. Handisati ndamboona mhou dzakaipa kudai munyika yose yeIjipiti.
20 And the lean and ill-favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.
Mhou dzakaonda uye dzakashata dzakadya mhou nomwe dziya dzakakora dzakanga dzatanga kuuya.
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.
Asi kunyange zvazvo dzakadzidya, hakuna munhu aigona kuona kuti dzakanga dzaita izvozvo; dzaingoratidzika kushata sezvadzakanga dzakaita kare. Ipapo ndakapepuka.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
“Mukurota kwangu, ndakaonawo hura nomwe dzezviyo, dzizere uye dzakanaka, dzichikura padzinde rimwe chete.
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Shure kwadzo dzimwe hura nomwe dzakamera, dzakasvava, dzakaonda uye dzakapiswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva.
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.'
Hura dziya dzakaonda dzakamedza dziya hura nomwe dzakanga dzakanaka. Ndakaudza nʼanga izvi, asi hakuna akagona kunditsanangurira.”
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: 'The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do He hath declared unto Pharaoh.
Ipapo Josefa akati kuna Faro, “Kurota kwaFaro ndokumwe uye kwakafanana. Mwari akaratidza kuna Faro zvinhu zvaava kuda kuita.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Mhou nomwe dzakanaka ndiwo makore manomwe, uye hura nomwe dzakanaka dzezviyo ndiwo makore manomwe amaguta; kurota uku kumwe chete uye kwakafanana.
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.
Mhou nomwe dzakaonda uye dzakashata dzakakwira pashure, ndiwo makore manomwe, ndizvowo nehura nomwe dzezviyo dzisingabatsiri dzakapiswa nemhepo yokumabvazuva; ndiwo makore manomwe enzara.
28 That is the thing which I spoke unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He hath shown unto Pharaoh.
“Zvakangoita sezvandataura kuna Faro ndichiti: Mwari aratidza Faro zvaava kuda kuita.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
Makore manomwe amaguta makuru ari kuuya munyika yose yeIjipiti,
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;
asi makore manomwe enzara achaatevera. Ipapo maguta ose omuIjipiti achakanganwikwa, uye nzara ichaparadza nyika.
31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.
Maguta omunyika haachazorangarirwi, nokuti nzara inoatevera ichava huru kwazvo.
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.
Kurota uku kwapiwa kuna Faro nenzira mbiri nokuti nyaya iyi yarongwa zvizere naMwari, uye Mwari achazviita nokukurumidza.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Zvino Faro ngaatsvake munhu anonzwisisa uye akachenjera amugadze kuti ave mutariri wenyika yeIjipiti.
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.
Faro ngaagadze vatariri pamusoro penyika kuti vaunganidze chikamu chimwe chete muzvishanu chezvichakohwewa muIjipiti mukati mamakore manomwe aya amaguta.
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.
Vanofanira kuunganidza zvokudya zvose zvamakore aya akanaka ari kuuya uye vagochengeta zviyo pasi pesimba raFaro, zvinofanira kuchengetwa kuti zvizove zvokudya.
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.'
Zvokudya izvi zvinofanira kuchengeterwa nyika, kuti zvigozoshandiswa panguva yamakore manomwe enzara achauya pamusoro peIjipiti, kuitira kuti nyika irege kuparadzwa nenzara.”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Urongwa uhu hwakaratidza kuva hwakanaka kuna Faro nokuvaranda vake vose.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants: 'Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?'
Saka Faro akavabvunza akati, “Tingawana here munhu akaita somurume uyu, munhu ane mweya waMwari maari?”
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
Ipapo Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Sezvo Mwari aita kuti izvi zvose zvizivikanwe newe, hakuna munhu anoziva uye akachenjera sewe.
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.'
Iwe uchava mutariri womuzinda wangu, navanhu vangu vose, uye vanhu vangu vose vanofanira kuzviisa pasi pezvaunovarayira. Ndichava mukuru kwauri pachigaro choushe chete.”
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'
Saka Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Ndakugadza kuti uve mutariri wenyika yose yeIjipiti.”
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.
Ipapo Faro akabvisa mhete yake pamunwe wake akaiisa pamunwe waJosefa. Akamupfekedza nguo dzakaisvonaka uye akaisa uketani hwegoridhe pamutsipa wake.
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.
Akamuita kuti akwire pangoro yake ari wechipiri pakutungamirira, uye vanhu vakadanidzira pamberi pake vachiti, “Dziurai nzira!” Nokudaro akamuita mutariri weIjipiti yose.
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.'
Ipapo Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Ndini Faro, asi pasina shoko rawataura iwe hakuna munhu achasimudza ruoko rwake kana rutsoka rwake munyika yose yeIjipiti.”
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. —
Faro akatumidza Josefa zita rokuti Zafenati-Panea uye akamupa Asenati mwanasikana waPotifera, muprista waOni, kuti ave mukadzi wake. Uye Josefa akafamba munyika yose yeIjipiti.
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.
Josefa akanga ava namakore makumi matatu okuberekwa paakapinda pabasa raFaro mambo weIjipiti. Uye Josefa akabuda kubva pamberi paFaro akafamba munyika yose yeIjipiti.
47 And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth in heaps.
Panguva yamakore manomwe amaguta, nyika yakabereka zvizhinji kwazvo.
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.
Josefa akaunganidza zvokudya zvose zvakawanikwa mumakore manomwe aya amaguta muIjipiti akazviunganidza mumaguta. Muguta rimwe nerimwe akaisa zvokudya zvaibva muminda yakapoteredza.
49 And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
Josefa akaunganidza zviyo zvakawanda kwazvo, sejecha regungwa; zvakanga zvakawanda zvokuti haana kuzokwanisa kuzvinyora nokuti zvakanga zvisisagoni kuyerwa.
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.
Makore enzara asati asvika, Josefa akanga aberekerwa vanakomana vaviri naAsenati mwanasikana waPotifera, muprista waOni.
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.'
Josefa akatumidza dangwe rake zita rokuti Manase akati, “Nokuti Mwari akaita kuti ndikanganwe kutambudzika kwangu kwose navose veimba yababa vangu.”
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
Mwanakomana wake wechipiri akamutumidza zita rokuti Efuremu akati, “Nokuti Mwari akaita kuti ndive nezvibereko munyika yokutambudzika kwangu.”
53 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Makore manomwe amaguta muIjipiti akasvika pakupera,
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.
uye makore manomwe enzara akatanga, sezvazvakanga zvarehwa naJosefa. Kwakava nenzara mune dzimwe nyika dzose, asi munyika yose yeIjipiti maiva nezvokudya.
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.'
Ijipiti yose payakatanga kunzwa nzara, vanhu vakatanga kuchemera zvokudya kuna Faro. Ipapo Faro akaudza vaIjipita vose akati, “Endai kuna Josefa muite zvaanokuudzai.”
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.
Nzara yakati yapararira munyika yose, Josefa akazarura matura akatengesa zviyo kuvaIjipita, nokuti nzara yakanga iri huru munyika yose yeIjipiti.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth.
Uye nyika dzose dzakauya kuzotenga zviyo kuIjipiti kubva kuna Josefa, nokuti nzara yakanga iri huru munyika dzose.
