< 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.
Nígbà tí odindi ọdún méjì sì ti kọjá, Farao lá àlá: ó rí ara rẹ̀ tó dúró ní etí odò Naili.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
Nígbà náà ni màlúù méje jáde láti inú odò, wọ́n dára láti wò, wọ́n sì sanra, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko.
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.
Lẹ́yìn àwọn wọ̀nyí, ni àwọn màlúù méje mìíràn tí kò lẹ́wà tí ó sì rù jáde wá láti inú odò Naili, wọ́n sì dúró ti àwọn méje tí ó sanra tí ó wà ní bèbè odò náà.
4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù, tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì gbé àwọn tí ó lẹ́wà tí ó sanra jẹ. Nígbà náà ni Farao jí.
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Ó sì tún padà sùn, ó sì lá àlá mìíràn: ó rí síírí ọkà méje tí ó kún, ó yómọ, ó sì dára, ó sì jáde lára igi ọkà kan ṣoṣo.
6 And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Lẹ́yìn wọn ni síírí ọkà méje mìíràn yọ, wọn kò yómọ, afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù.
7 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Àwọn síírí ọkà méje tí kò yómọ (ọmọ rẹ̀ kò tóbi) wọ̀nyí sì gbé àwọn tí ó yómọ (ọmọ rẹ̀ tóbi) mì. Nígbà náà ni Farao jí lójú oorun, ó sì rí i pé àlá ni.
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.
Ní òwúrọ̀, ọkàn rẹ̀ dàrú, nítorí náà, ó ránṣẹ́ pe gbogbo àwọn onídán àti ọ̀mọ̀ran ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Farao rọ́ àlá rẹ̀ fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò rí ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ó le sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà fún un.
9 Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day:
Nígbà náà ni olórí agbọ́tí wí fún Farao pé, “Lónìí ni mo rántí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
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.
Nígbà kan tí Farao bínú sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi èmi àti olórí alásè sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n ní ilé olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́.
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wa lá àlá, àlá kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ní ìtumọ̀ tirẹ̀.
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.
Ọmọkùnrin ará Heberu kan tí ó jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wa. A rọ́ àwọn àlá wa fún un, ó sì túmọ̀ wọn fún wa, ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan fún un.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.'
Bí ó sì ti túmọ̀ àlá wọ̀nyí náà ni ohun gbogbo rí. A dá mi padà sí ipò mi, a sì so ọkùnrin kejì kọ́ sórí ọ̀wọ̀n.”
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.
Nítorí náà Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Josẹfu, wọn sì mú un wá kíákíá láti inú ìhámọ́. Nígbà tí ó fá irun rẹ̀, tí ó sì pààrọ̀ aṣọ rẹ̀, ó wá síwájú Farao.
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 wí fún Josẹfu, “Mo lá àlá kan, kò sì sí ẹni tí o le è túmọ̀ rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti gbọ́ nípa rẹ pé bí o bá ti gbọ́ àlá, o le è túmọ̀ rẹ̀.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: 'It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'
Josẹfu dá Farao ní ohùn pé, “Kì í ṣe agbára mi, ṣùgbọ́n, Ọlọ́run ni yóò fi ìdáhùn àlàáfíà fún Farao ní ìtumọ̀ àlá náà.”
17 And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph: 'In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Ní inú àlá mi, mo dúró ni etí bèbè odò Naili,
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass.
sì kíyèsi i, màlúù méje tí ó sanra tí o sì lẹ́wà jáde wá, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko ní tòsí ibẹ̀.
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.
Lẹ́yìn wọn, màlúù méje mìíràn jáde wá, wọ́n rù hángógó, wọn kò sì lẹ́wà tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí n kò tí ì rí irú màlúù tí ó ṣe àìlẹ́wà tó bẹ́ẹ̀ rí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
20 And the lean and ill-favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.
Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì jẹ àwọn màlúù tí ó sanra tí ó kọ́ jáde nínú odò.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jẹ́ wọ́n tan, kò sì ẹni tí ó le mọ̀ pé wọ́n jẹ ohunkóhun, nítorí wọn kò sanra sí i, wọn sì bùrẹ́wà síbẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni mo tají.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
“Ní ojú àlá mi, mo tún rí síírí ọkà méje tí ó yó ọmọ tí ó sì dára, wọ́n jáde láti ara igi ọkà kan.
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Lẹ́yìn wọn, àwọn méje mìíràn yọ jáde, tí kò yó ọmọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù tán.
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.'
Àwọn síírí ọkà méje tí kò yómọ sì gbé àwọn méje tí ó dára wọ̀nyí mì. Mo sọ àlá yìí fún àwọn onídán mi, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹni tí ó le túmọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.”
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: 'The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do He hath declared unto Pharaoh.
Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu wí fún Farao, “Ìtumọ̀ kan náà ni àwọn àlá méjèèjì ní. Ọlọ́run fi ohun tí ó fẹ́ ṣe hàn fún Farao.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Àwọn màlúù méje ti ó dára jẹ́ ọdún méje, síírí ọkà méje tí ó dára náà sì jẹ́ ọdún méje: ọ̀kan ṣoṣo ni wọn, àlá kan náà ni.
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.
Àwọn màlúù méje tí kò sanra, tí kò sì rẹwà tí ó jáde gbẹ̀yìn jẹ́ ọdún méje, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni síírí ọkà méje tí kò dára, tí afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ dànù tan, wọn jẹ́ ọdún méje tí ìyàn yóò fi mú.
28 That is the thing which I spoke unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He hath shown unto Pharaoh.
“Bí mo ti wí fún Farao ní ìṣáájú náà ni: Ọlọ́run fi ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ han Farao.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ọdún méje tí oúnjẹ yóò pọ̀ yanturu ń bọ̀ wà ní Ejibiti.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n ọdún méje mìíràn tí ìyàn yóò mú ń bọ̀, nígbà náà ni a ó tilẹ̀ gbàgbé gbogbo ọ̀pọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ìyàn yóò sì run gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.
A kò ní rántí àsìkò ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ yanturu náà mọ́ nítorí pé ìyàn tí yóò tẹ̀lé e yóò pọ̀ púpọ̀.
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.
Ìdí tí Ọlọ́run fi fi àlá náà han fún Farao ní ọ̀nà méjì ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ni pé, Ọlọ́run ti pinnu pé yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ dandan, àti pé kò ni pẹ́ tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi ṣe é.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Ìmọ̀ràn mi ni wí pé, jẹ́ kí Farao wá ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn kan ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí ó sì fi ṣe alákòóso iṣẹ́ àgbẹ̀ ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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.
Kí Farao sì yan àwọn alábojútó láti máa gba ìdámárùn-ún ìkórè oko ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní àsìkò ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀.
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.
Kí wọn kó gbogbo oúnjẹ ilẹ̀ náà ni àwọn ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ yìí, kí wọn sì kó àwọn ọkà tí wọn jẹ ṣẹ́kù pamọ́ lábẹ́ àṣẹ Farao. Kí a kó wọn pamọ́ ni àwọn ìlú fún jíjẹ.
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.'
Kí wọn kó oúnjẹ náà pamọ́ fún orílẹ̀-èdè yìí, kí a ba à le lò ó ni ọdún méje tí ìyàn yóò fi jà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí ìyàn náà má ba à pa orílẹ̀-èdè yìí run.”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Èrò náà sì dára lójú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants: 'Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?'
Farao sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ǹjẹ́ a le rí ẹnikẹ́ni bi ọkùnrin yìí, nínú ẹni tí ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run ń gbé?”
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu, “Níwọ́n bí Ọlọ́run ti fi gbogbo èyí hàn ọ́, kò sí ẹni náà tí ó gbọ́n tí ó sì mọ̀ràn bí i tìrẹ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yìí,
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.'

41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'
Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Mo fi ọ́ ṣe alábojútó gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
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.
Farao sì bọ́ òrùka èdìdì ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì fi wọ Josẹfu ó wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára, ó sì fi ẹ̀gbà tí ó dára sí i lọ́rùn.
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.
Ó sì mú un kí ó gun kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin bí igbákejì ara rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn sì ń pariwo níwájú rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ yàgò lọ́nà.” Báyìí ni ó sì fi ṣe alábojútó gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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.'
Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Èmi ni Farao. Ṣùgbọ́n láìsí àṣẹ rẹ, ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ohunkóhun ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
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 sì sọ Josẹfu ní orúkọ yìí Safenati-Panea (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí ẹni tí ó ni agbára ikú àti ìyè ní ìkáwọ́ bí òrìṣà). Ó sì fun un ní Asenati ọmọ Potifẹra, alábojútó òrìṣà Oni, gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya. Josẹfu sì rin gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti já.
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.
Ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún ni Josẹfu nígbà tí ó wọ iṣẹ́ Farao ọba Ejibiti. Josẹfu sì jáde kúrò níwájú Farao, ó sì ṣe ìbẹ̀wò káàkiri gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
47 And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth in heaps.
Ní ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀, ilẹ̀ náà so èso lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
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.
Josẹfu kó gbogbo oúnjẹ tí a pèsè ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ yìí, ó sì pa wọ́n mọ́ sí àwọn ìlú. Ní ìlú kọ̀ọ̀kan ni ó kó gbogbo oúnjẹ tí wọ́n gbìn ní àyíká ìlú wọn sí.
49 And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.

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.
Kí ó tó di pé ọdún ìyàn dé, Asenati ọmọ Potifẹra alábojútó Oni bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún Josẹfu.
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.'
Josẹfu sọ orúkọ àkọ́bí rẹ̀ ni Manase, ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti mú mi gbàgbé gbogbo ìdààmú mi àti gbogbo ilé baba mi.”
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
Ó sì sọ orúkọ èkejì ní Efraimu, ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run fún mi ní ọmọ ní ilẹ̀ ìpọ́njú mi.”
53 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ sì wá sí òpin ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti,
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.

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.'
Nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rí ipá ìyàn náà, wọ́n kígbe sí Farao. Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ bá Josẹfu, ẹ ṣe ohun tí ó bá wí fún un yín.”
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.
Nígbà tí ìyàn sì ti tàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà, Josẹfu ṣí inú àká, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ta ọkà fún àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí ìyàn náà mú gan an ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth.
