Genesis 41
1 And it comes to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and behold, he is standing by the River,
Og det skete, der to Aar vare omme, da drømte Farao, og se, han stod ved Floden.
2 and behold, from the River coming up are seven cows, of beautiful appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;
Og se, af Floden opsteg syv Køer, skønne af Udseende og fede paa Kød, og aade i Engen.
3 and behold, seven other cows are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the cows on the edge of the River,
Og se, syv andre Køer opstege efter disse af Floden, stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, og stode hos de andre Køer paa Bredden af Floden.
4 and the cows of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven cows of beautiful appearance, and fat—and Pharaoh awakens.
Og de Køer, som vare stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, opaade de syv Køer, som vare skønne af Udseende og fede; saa vaagnede Farao.
5 And he sleeps, and dreams a second time, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,
Og han faldt i Søvn og drømte anden Gang, og se, syv Aks voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
6 and behold, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
Og se, syv Aks, tynde og svedne af Østenvinden, skøde op efter dem.
7 and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears—and Pharaoh awakens, and behold, a dream.
Og de magre Aks opslugte de syv fede og fulde Aks; da vaagnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.
8 And it comes to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sends and calls all the enchanters of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounts to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.
Og det skete om Morgenen, da var hans Aand bekymret, og han sendte hen og lod kalde alle Spaamænd i Ægypten og alle de vise derudi, og Farao fortalte dem sin Drøm; men der var ingen, som udtydede Farao den.
9 And the chief of the butlers speaks with Pharaoh, saying, “I mention my sin this day:
Da talede den øverste Mundskænk til Farao og sagde: Jeg ihukommer i Dag min Synd.
10 Pharaoh has been angry against his servants, and puts me in confinement in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;
Farao var vred paa sine Tjenere og lod mig sætte i Fængsel udi Huset hos den øverste for Livvagten, mig og den øverste Bager.
11 and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed.
Da drømte vi en Drøm i een Nat, jeg og han; vi drømte, hver efter sin Drøms Udtydning.
12 And there [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interprets to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream has he interpreted,
Og der var hos os en hebraisk ung Karl, en Tjener hos den øverste for Livvagten, og ham fortalte vi, og han udtydede os vore Drømme; hver efter sin Drøm udtydede han det.
13 and it comes to pass, as he has interpreted to us so it has been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.”
Og det skete, ligesom han udtydede os det, saa skete det; mig satte man i mit Sted igen, og ham hængte man.
14 And Pharaoh sends and calls Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaves, and changes his garments, and comes to Pharaoh.
Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde Josef, og de lode ham straks ud af Hulen, og han lod sig rage og førte sig i andre Klæder og kom til Farao.
15 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it, and I have heard concerning you, saying, You understand a dream to interpret it,”
Da sagde Farao til Josef: Jeg drømte en Drøm, og ingen er der, som kan udtyde den; men jeg har hørt sige om dig, at naar du hører en Drøm, kan du udtyde den.
16 and Joseph answers Pharaoh, saying, “Without me—God answers Pharaoh with peace.”
Og Josef svarede Farao og sagde: Det staar ikke til mig; Gud skal svare Farao godt.
17 And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph: “In my dream, behold, I am standing by the edge of the River,
Da sagde Farao til Josef: Der jeg drømte, se, da stod jeg paa Bredden af Floden.
18 and behold, out of the River coming up are seven cows, fat [in] flesh, and of beautiful form, and they feed among the reeds;
Og se, syv Køer opstege af Floden, fede paa Kød og skønne af Skikkelse, og de aade i Engen.
19 and behold, seven other cows are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.
Og se, efter dem opstege syv andre Køer, tynde og saare stygge af Skikkelse og magre paa Kød; jeg har ikke set saa stygge som dem i hele Ægyptens Land.
20 And the lean and the bad cows eat up the first seven fat cows,
Og de magre og stygge Køer aade de syv første fede Køer.
21 and they come in to their midst, and it has not been known that they have come in to their midst, and their appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake.
Og der de havde opædt dem, kendtes det dog ikke paa dem, at de havde opædt dem, og de vare stygge at se til ligesom tilforn; og jeg vaagnede.
22 And I see in my dream, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;
Og jeg saa, der jeg drømte, og se, syv Aks, som voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
23 and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
Og se, efter dem skøde syv tørre Aks frem, som vare tynde og svedne af Østenvinden.
24 and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell [it] to the enchanters, and there is none declaring [it] to me.”
Og de tynde Aks opslugte de syv gode Aks; og jeg har sagt Spaamændene det, men ingen kan udtyde mig det.
25 And Joseph says to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he has declared to Pharaoh;
Og Josef sagde til Farao: Faraos Drøm, den er een: Gud giver Farao til Kende, hvad han vil gøre.
26 the seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;
De syv gode Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv gode Aks, de ere syv Aar, det er een Drøm.
27 and the seven thin and bad cows which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;
Og de syv magre og stygge Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv tomme Aks, svedne af Østenvinden, skulle være syv Hungers Aar.
28 this [is] the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is doing.
Det er det Ord, som jeg har sagt Farao: Gud lader Farao se, hvad han vil gøre.
29 Behold, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,
Se, der kommer syv Aar med stor Overflødighed i hele Ægyptens Land.
30 and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine has finished the land,
Og syv Hungers Aar skulle komme efter dem, at al den Overflødighed skal glemmes i Ægyptens Land, og Hungeren skal fortære Landet.
31 and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterward, for it [is] very grievous.
Og der skal ikke vides af den Overflødighed i Landet for den Hunger, som kommer derefter; thi den bliver meget svar.
32 And because of the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hurrying to do it.
Men at Farao har drømt igen anden Gang betyder, at det skal visselig ske af Gud, og Gud skal snarlig gøre dette.
33 And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;
Saa se nu Farao sig om efter en forstandig og viis Mand, som han kan sætte over Ægyptens Land.
34 let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,
Dette gøre Farao, og han beskikke Tilsynsmænd over Landet og tage den femte Del af Ægyptens Land i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
35 and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up grain under the hand of Pharaoh—food in the cities; and they have kept [it],
Og de skulle samle alle Haande Spise udi disse tilkommende gode Aar og sanke Korn under Faraos Haand til Spise, i Stæderne, og de skulle forvare det.
36 and the food has been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.”
Og den Spise skal være beskikket for Landet til de syv Hungerens Aar, som skulle komme over Ægyptens Land, at Landet ikke skal ødelægges af Hunger.
37 And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,
Og denne Tale var god for Faraos Øjne og for alle hans Tjeneres Øjne.
38 and Pharaoh says to his servants, “Do we find like this, a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?”
Og Farao sagde til sine Tjenere: Mon vi kunne finde nogen som denne, en Mand, i hvem Guds Aand er?
39 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “After God’s causing you to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as you;
Og Farao sagde til. Josef: Efterdi Gud har ladet dig vide alt dette, da er ingen saa forstandig og viis som du.
40 you are over my house, and at your mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than you.”
Du skal være over mit Hus, og alt mit Folk skal være dine Ord lydigt; alene ved Tronen vil jeg være større end du.
41 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
Og Farao sagde til Josef: Se, jeg har sat dig over alt Ægyptens Land.
42 And Pharaoh turns aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and puts it on the hand of Joseph, and clothes him [with] garments of fine linen, and places a chain of gold on his neck,
Og Farao tog sin Ring af sin Haand og satte den paa Josefs Haand og lod ham føre i kostelige Linklæder og hængte en Guldkæde om hans Hals
43 and causes him to ride in the second chariot which he has, and they proclaim before him, “Bow the knee!” And [he] set him over all the land of Egypt.
og lod ham age paa sin anden Vogn, og de raabte for ham: Abrek; og han satte ham over hele Ægyptens Land.
44 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “I [am] Pharaoh, and without you a man does not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt”;
Og Farao sagde til Josef: Jeg er Farao; og uden din Villie skal ingen Mand opløfte sin Haand eller sin Fod i hele Ægyptens Land.
45 and Pharaoh calls Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he gives to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goes out over the land of Egypt.
Og Farao kaldte Josefs Navn Zafnath Panea og gav ham Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, til Hustru; saa drog Josef ud over Ægyptens Land.
46 And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goes out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passes over through all the land of Egypt;
Og Josef var tredive Aar gammel, der han stod for Farao, Kongen i Ægypten; og Josef gik ud fra Farao og rejste igennem hele Ægyptens Land.
47 and the land makes in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.
Og Landet bar i Hobetal i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
48 And he gathers all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and puts food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] around [each] city has he put in its midst;
Og han samlede al Spise i de syv Aar, som vare i Ægyptens Land, og lagde Spise i Stæderne; hvad der voksede paa Markerne omkring hver Stad til Spise, det lagde han derudi.
49 and Joseph gathers grain as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until he has ceased to number, for there is no number.
Saa samlede Josef Korn som Havets Sand, overmaade meget, indtil han lod af at tælle; thi der var ikke Tal derpaa.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine comes, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, has borne to him,
Og før Hungerens Aar kom, blev der født Josef to Sønner, hvilke Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, fødte ham.
51 and Joseph calls the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me to forget all my labor, and all the house of my father”;
Og Josef kaldte den førstefødtes Navn Manasse; „thi Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og alt min Faders Hus‟.
52 and the name of the second he has called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Og den andens Navn kaldte han Efraim; „thi Gud har gjort mig frugtbar i min Elendigheds Land‟.
53 And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,
Og de syv Overflødigheds Aar endte, som vare i Ægyptens Land.
54 and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt has been bread;
Og de syv Hungerens Aar begyndte at komme, som Josef havde sagt, og der var Hunger i alle Landene, men der var Brød i det hele Ægyptens Land.
55 and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people cry to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh says to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; that which he says to you—do.”
Der hele Ægyptens Land led Hunger, da raabte Folket til Farao om Brød; men Farao sagde til alle Ægyptere: Gaar til Josef, hvad han siger eder, skulle I gøre.
56 And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph opens all [places] which have [grain] in them, and sells to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,
Der Hungeren var i hele Landet, da oplod Josef alle Steder, hvor noget var, og solgte Ægypterne Korn; thi Hungeren tog Overhaand i Ægyptens Land.
57 and all the earth has come to Egypt, to buy, to Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
Og fra alle Lande kom man til Ægypten for at købe hos Josef; thi Hungeren var meget svar i alle Lande.
