< Genesis 41 >

1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
Sima na mibu mibale, Faraon alotaki ndoto: atelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili,
2 And behold, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.
amonaki bangombe sambo ya basi, ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Bangombe yango ebimaki wuta na ebale mpe ezalaki kolia matiti pembeni ya ebale Nili.
3 And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river.
Sima na yango, bangombe mosusu sambo ya basi, ya mabe mpe ekonda, ebimaki wuta na ebale, etelemaki pembeni ya bangombe ya basi oyo ezalaki pembeni ya ebale Nili.
4 And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
Bangombe sambo ya basi ya mabe mpe ekonda eliaki bangombe sambo ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Kaka na tango yango, Faraon alamukaki.
5 And he dreamed again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
Alalaki lisusu mpe alotaki ndoto ya mibale: nzete moko ya ble ebimisaki mito sambo ya ble, ya minene mpe ya kitoko.
6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
Mito mosusu sambo ya ble, ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este, ebimaki sima na oyo ya minene.
7 And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream.
Mito sambo oyo ekonda eliaki mito sambo oyo ya minene mpe etonda. Kaka na tango yango, Faraon alamukaki, asosolaki ete ezali ndoto.
8 And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.
Na tongo, lokola molimo na ye etungisamaki, abengaki bato nyonso ya soloka mpe ya bwanya ya Ejipito. Faraon ayebisaki bango ndoto na ye, kasi ata moto moko te akokaki kolimbolela ye yango.
9 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
Kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi alobaki na Faraon: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nalingi kokanisa mbeba na ngai.
10 Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.
Mokolo moko, Faraon asilikelaki basali na ye mpe atiaki ngai na boloko elongo na kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi.
11 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
Biso mibale tolotaki bandoto na butu moko: ndoto na ndoto ezalaki na ndimbola na yango.
12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.
Kuna, tozalaki na elenge mobali moko, azali Mo-Ebre mpe mosali ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi. Toyebisaki ye bandoto na biso mpe alimbolaki yango mpo na biso, apesaki moto na moto ndimbola ya ndoto na ye.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged.
Makambo nyonso esalemaki ndenge kaka alimbolelaki biso yango. Ngai nazongelaki misala na ngai; mpe moninga mosusu, badiembikaki ye. »
14 And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.
Faraon abengaki Jozefi, mpe babimisaki ye na lombangu na boloko. Bakataki ye suki, alataki bilamba mosusu mpe ayaki liboso ya Faraon.
15 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you did hear dreams and interpret them.
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Nalotaki ndoto mpe ata moto moko te alongi kolimbola yango; kasi nayoki sango na tina na yo ete soki oyoki ndoto, okolimbola yango.
16 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
Jozefi azongiselaki Faraon: — Ngai nakolonga te kosala yango, kasi Nzambe akopesa na Faraon eyano oyo azali na yango posa.
17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream I thought I stood by the bank of the river;
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Na ndoto na ngai, natelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili.
18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
Namonaki bangombe sambo ya basi, ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Bangombe yango ebimaki wuta na ebale mpe ezalaki kolia matiti pembeni ya ebale Nili.
19 And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt.
Sima na yango, bangombe mosusu sambo ya basi ebimaki: ya mike, ya mabe penza mpe ekonda; nanu natikala komona te bangombe ya ndenge wana na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
20 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
Ngombe ya basi ekonda mpe ya mabe eliaki bangombe sambo ya mafuta oyo ebimaki liboso.
21 And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,
Bongo ekotaki na mabumu na yango kasi ezalaki komonana te ete bangombe ya mafuta ekoti na mabumu ya bangombe ekonda, mpe lolenge na yango ezalaki kaka mabe lokola ndenge ezalaki liboso. Kaka na tango yango, nalamukaki.
22 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
Na ndoto na ngai mosusu, namonaki mito sambo ya ble ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta kobima na nzete moko.
23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
Sima na yango, mito sambo mosusu ya ble ebimaki. Ezalaki ya kokawuka, ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este.
24 And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.
Mito sambo ya ble oyo ekonda emelaki mito sambo ya ble oyo ya malamu. Nayebisaki yango epai ya bato ya soloka kasi ata moto moko te akokaki kolimbolela ngai yango.
25 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shown to Pharao.
Jozefi alobaki na Faraon: — Ndoto ya Faraon ezali kaka ndoto moko mpe ezali kaka na ndimbola moko. Nzambe amonisaki Faraon makambo oyo Ye akosala.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
Bangombe sambo ya basi ya kitoko ezali mibu sambo, mpe mito sambo ya ble ezali mibu sambo: ezali kaka ndoto moko.
27 And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.
Bangombe sambo ya basi ekonda mpe ya mabe oyo ebimaki sima na oyo ya mafuta mpe ya kitoko, ezali mibu sambo; mpe mito sambo ya ble oyo ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este ezali mibu sambo ya nzala makasi.
28 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatever God intends to do, he has shown to Pharao:
Tala maloba oyo nazalaki na yango mpo na koyebisa Faraon. Nzambe atalisi na Faraon makambo oyo Ye akosala.
29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
Mibu sambo ya bofuluki ekoya na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
30 But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.
Kasi mibu sambo ya nzala makasi ekolanda yango; boye bakobosana bofuluki nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito mpo ete nzala makasi yango ekokawusa mokili.
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.
Bakokanisa lisusu te bofuluki nyonso ya mokili likolo ya nzala makasi oyo ekolanda, pamba te nzala ekozala makasi penza.
32 And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.
Soki Faraon alotaki ndoto yango na lolenge mibale, elingi koloba ete Nzambe asilaki kozwa mokano na likambo yango mpe akokokisa yango na lombangu.
33 Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Tika sik’oyo Faraon aluka moto moko ya mayele mpe ya bwanya, atia ye na moto ya mokili ya Ejipito.
34 And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.
Tika ete Faraon asala bongo; tika ete apona basali na mokili, ba-oyo bakokongola eteni ya mitano ya bambuma ya Ejipito na tango ya mibu sambo ya bofuluki.
35 And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities.
Boye, na se ya bokonzi ya Faraon, bakobanda kosangisa biloko nyonso ya kolia oyo mibu ya malamu ekobimisa, bakobomba ble na bingumba mpe bakobatela yango lokola biloko ya kolia mpo na bingumba.
36 And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine.
Bakobatela biloko yango mpo na mokili, mpo na mibu sambo ya nzala makasi oyo ekozala na mokili ya Ejipito; na bongo nzala makasi ekobebisa mokili te.
37 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
Likambo yango esepelisaki Faraon mpe basali na ye nyonso.
38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
Faraon atunaki bango: — Tokoki komona moto lokola oyo, moto oyo Molimo na Nzambe avandi kati na ye?
39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has showed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than you.
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Lokola Nzambe ayebisi yo makambo oyo nyonso, ezali na moto moko te oyo azali na mayele mpe na bwanya lokola yo.
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel you.
Okozala mokonzi ya ndako na ngai mpe bato na ngai nyonso bakobanda kotosa mitindo na yo. Kaka kiti ya bokonzi nde ekosala ete ngai nazala na likolo na yo.
41 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt.
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Natie yo mokonzi ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
42 And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck.
Faraon alongolaki lopete na ye na mosapi na ye mpe atiaki yango na mosapi ya Jozefi. Alatisaki ye bilamba ya lino ya kitoko mpe atiaki ye singa ya wolo na kingo.
43 And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Amatisaki ye na shareti na ye ya mibale mpe bato bazalaki koganga: « Bofukama! » Boye, atiaki Jozefi mokonzi ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
44 And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
Faraon alobaki lisusu na Jozefi: — Nazali Faraon. Kasi awa na Ejipito, moto moko te akotombola loboko to lokolo soki kaka na mitindo na yo te.
45 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
Faraon apesaki Jozefi kombo « Tsafinati-Paenea, » mpe apesaki ye Asinati, mwana mwasi ya Poti-Fera, nganga-nzambe ya Oni, mpo ete azala mwasi na ye. Jozefi atambolaki na mokili ya Ejipito.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt.
Azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akotaki na mosala ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito. Jozefi alongwaki na miso ya Faraon mpe atambolaki na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
Na mibu sambo ya bofuluki, mabele ebotaki mingi.
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it.
Jozefi asangisaki biloko nyonso ya kolia oyo ebotaki na mibu yango sambo ya bofuluki kati na Ejipito mpe abombaki yango kati na engumba. Na engumba moko na moko, atiaki biloko ya kolia oyo ewutaki na bilanga oyo ezalaki zingazinga na yango.
49 And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].
Jozefi abombaki ble ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ezalaki mingi koleka; yango wana bakataki kotanga, pamba te bakokaki kotanga yango lisusu te.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.
Liboso ete mibu ya nzala makasi eya, Asinati, mwana mwasi ya Poti-Fera, nganga-nzambe ya Oni, abotelaki Jozefi bana mibali mibale.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house.
Jozefi apesaki mwana na ye ya liboso kombo « Manase, » pamba te amilobelaki: « Nzambe asali ete nabosana pasi na ngai nyonso mpe bokabwani na ngai na libota mobimba ya tata na ngai. »
52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
Apesaki mwana na ye ya mibale kombo « Efrayimi, » pamba te amilobelaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mabota na mokili epai wapi namonaki pasi. »
53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
Mibu sambo ya bofuluki oyo ezalaki na Ejipito ekomaki na suka,
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
mpe mibu sambo ya nzala makasi ebandaki, ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki. Nzala makasi ekotaki na mikili nyonso, kasi na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito biloko ya kolia ezangaki te.
55 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatever he shall tell you.
Tango bato nyonso ya Ejipito bakomaki na nzala makasi, bagangaki epai ya Faraon mpo na koluka biloko ya kolia. Bongo Faraon alobaki na bato nyonso ya Ejipito: « Bokende epai ya Jozefi mpe bosala makambo oyo akoyebisa bino. »
56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
Tango nzala ekotaki na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito, Jozefi afungolaki ndako oyo batiaki biloko mpe atekaki ble epai ya bato ya Ejipito; kasi nzala makasi ekobaki kaka.
57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
Mikili nyonso ezalaki koya na Ejipito mpo na kosomba ble epai ya Jozefi mpo ete nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili mobimba.
