< 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,
O ruo mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, Fero rọrọ nrọ hụ onwe ya ka o guzo nʼakụkụ mmiri Naịl.
2 and behold, from the River coming up are seven cows, of beautiful appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;
Nʼebe ahụ, ọ hụrụ ehi asaa ndị si nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ehi ndị a buru ibu, maa mma. Ahụ ha na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ. Ha pụtara, bido ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
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,
Nʼatụfughị oge, ehi asaa ọzọ soro ha nʼazụ sikwa nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ma ehi ndị a tara ahụ nke ukwuu. Ha bụ nnọọ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Ha bịara guzo nʼakụkụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu.
4 and the cows of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven cows of beautiful appearance, and fat—and Pharaoh awakens.
Mgbe ahụ, ehi ndị a bụ naanị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ bịara richapụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu. Mgbe nke a mere Fero kwolitere.
5 And he sleeps, and dreams a second time, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,
Emesịa, Fero rahụkwara ụra ọzọ, rọọ nrọ nke ugboro abụọ, hụ ogbe ọka asaa ndị mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ogbe ọka ndị a buru ibu maa ezi mma.
6 and behold, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
Emesịa, ọ hụkwara ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ ka ha mịkwara nʼotu ukwu ọka ahụ. Ma ndị a ọ hụrụ kpọnwụsịrị akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ. Ọ bụ ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha kpọnwụọ.
7 and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears—and Pharaoh awakens, and behold, a dream.
Ogbe ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ loro ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu. Fero kwolitere hụ na ihe ndị a bụ nrọ.
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.
Mgbe chi bọrọ, o nweghị udo na mmụọ ya. O ziri ozi kpọkọta ndị majiki niile, na ndị ọkachamara niile nke Ijipt. Fero kọọrọ ha ihe ọ rọrọ na nrọ. Ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịkọwara ya ihe nrọ ya pụtara.
9 And the chief of the butlers speaks with Pharaoh, saying, “I mention my sin this day:
Ma nʼoge ahụ, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Taa ka m chetara mmehie m.
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;
Oge ahụ Fero were iwe megide ndị na-ejere ya ozi, o tinyere mụ na onyeisi ndị na-esi nri nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke dị nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche eze bi.
11 and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed.
Onye ọbụla nʼime anyị abụọ rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị, nrọ ọbụla nwekwara nkọwa nke ya.
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,
O nwere nwokorobịa onye Hibru anyị na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼoge ahụ. Ọ bụ ohu onyeisi ndị nche eze. Anyị kọọrọ ya nrọ anyị rọrọ. Ọ kọwakwaara anyị ihe nrọ anyị pụtara nye onye ọbụla nkọwa nke nrọ ya.
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.”
Ihe niile mere dịka o si kọwara anyị. E nyeghachiri m ọnọdụ m, ma kwụba onye nke ọzọ nʼosisi.”
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.
Ya mere Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Josef. E mere ngwangwa wepụta ya site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Mgbe ọ kpụchara afụọnụ ya, gbanwee uwe ya, ọ bịakwara nʼihu Fero.
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,”
Fero gwara Josef sị, “Arọrọ m nrọ ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ m rọrọ pụtara. Ma anụla m na a kọọrọ gị nrọ a rọrọ, i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe nrọ ahụ pụtara.”
16 and Joseph answers Pharaoh, saying, “Without me—God answers Pharaoh with peace.”
Josef zara sị ya, “Enweghị m ike ịkọwa nrọ nʼike aka m. Ma Chineke ga-enye Fero ọsịsa udo dịka ọ chọrọ.”
17 And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph: “In my dream, behold, I am standing by the edge of the River,
Mgbe ahụ, Fero malitere ịkọwara Josef nrọ ya. O kwuru sị, “Eguzoro m nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl na nrọ m.
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;
Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m ehi asaa si na mmiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a mara abụba, ma gbaa agba. Ha bidokwara ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
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.
Emesịa, a hụrụ m ehi asaa ọzọ ka ha sikwa nʼosimiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a ejighị ahụ. Ha bụ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Nʼezie, ahụtụbeghị m ụdị ehi dị otu a nʼala Ijipt niile.
20 And the lean and the bad cows eat up the first seven fat cows,
Ehi asaa ndị a jọrọ njọ riri ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu, bụ ndị bu ha ụzọ si nʼosimiri ahụ pụta.
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.
Ma mgbe ha risiri ehi ndị a, nri ahụ emeghị ka ụdịdị ha gbanwee. Ha dịkwa otu ha dị. Mgbe m hụsịrị ihe a, etetara m nʼụra.
22 And I see in my dream, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;
“Mgbe m rọrọ nrọ ọzọ, a hụrụ m ogbe ọka asaa nke mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ọka asaa ndị a buru ibu, dị mma ile anya.
23 and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
Ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ mịkwara nʼelu ukwu ọka ahụ, ma ndị a kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ nʼihi nʼikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ chakpọrọ ha.
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.”
Ma ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ lodara ọka asaa ndị ahụ mara mma. Akọọlara m ndị majiki ihe ndị a, ma ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ ndị a pụtara.”
25 And Joseph says to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he has declared to Pharaoh;
Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị Fero, “Nrọ abụọ Fero rọrọ pụtara otu ihe. Chineke esitela na nrọ ndị a gwa Fero ihe ọ na-aga ime.
26 the seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;
Ehi asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụ afọ asaa. Ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụkwa afọ asaa. Ọ bụ otu nrọ ahụ, ọ bụ ezie na ị rọrọ ya ugboro abụọ.
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;
Ehi asaa ndị ọzọ ahụ dị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ ndị pụtara mgbe ndị nke mbụ pụtachara bụ afọ asaa. Otu a kwa ogbe ọka ndị ọzọ fịkpọrọ afịkpọ nke ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha fịkpọọ bụ afọ asaa. Ha na-egosi afọ asaa mgbe oke ụnwụ ga-adị.
28 this [is] the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is doing.
“Dịka m gwara Fero na mbụ, Chineke egosila gị ihe ọ chọrọ ime.
29 Behold, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,
Afọ asaa na-abịa ga-abụ afọ asaa mgbe nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt niile.
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,
Emesịa afọ asaa oke ụnwụ ga-eso ha. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-echefu ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ụnwụ a ga-ala obodo nʼiyi.
31 and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterward, for it [is] very grievous.
Agaghị echetakwa na e nwere oge ịba ụba ihe oriri nʼala a, nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ nke ga-eso ya ga-adị oke ukwuu.
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.
Ihe mere Fero ji rọọ nrọ a ugboro abụọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke ekpebiela na ihe ndị a ga-emezuriri. Chineke ga-emekwa ya nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
33 And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;
“Ma ugbu a, ka Fero chọọ onye nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe. Ya mee ya onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala Ijipt niile.
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,
Ka Fero mee nhọpụta ndị nlekọta ala Ijipt. Ka e debe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke nri niile a ga-enweta nʼoge ahụ nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt.
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],
Ka ha kpokọtaa nri niile ga-adị nʼoge ịba ụba nke ihe oriri, nke ga-adị nʼafọ ndị a na-abịa. Ka ha kpokọta ha nʼụlọ ichebe nri nke ga-adị nʼokpuru ọchịchị Fero. Ka ọ bụrụ nri e debere nʼobodo dị iche iche.
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.”
A ga-echebe nri ndị a nke ọma maka ndị bi nʼala a, ka ọ bụrụ nri a ga-eri nʼime afọ asaa ndị ahụ nke ụnwụ ga-adị nʼala Ijipt, ka ụnwụ ghara ibibi ala a.”
37 And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,
Ntụpụta ahụ dị mma nʼanya Fero na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
38 and Pharaoh says to his servants, “Do we find like this, a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?”
Fero jụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị ya, “Anyị ga-achọtali onye ọzọ dịka nwoke a, onye mmụọ nke Chineke dị nʼime ya?”
39 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “After God’s causing you to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as you;
Ya mere Fero tụgharịrị sị Josef, “Ebe Chineke kpugheere gị ihe ndị a, o nweghị onye ọzọ nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe dịka gị.
40 you are over my house, and at your mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than you.”
Gị onwe gị ga-abụ onye na-elekọta ụlọeze m. Ndị m niile ga-erube isi nʼiwu ọbụla i nyere. Ọ bụ naanị nʼocheeze ka m ga-eji dị ukwuu karịa gị.”
41 And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
Fero gwara Josef, “Lee, emeela m gị onye nlekọta ala Ijipt niile.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ, Fero gbapụtara mgbaaka eze ya gbanye ya Josef nʼaka. O yikwasịkwara Josef uwe e ji ezi akwa ọcha duo, nyanye ya ihe ịnya nʼolu nke e ji ọlaedo kpụọ.
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.
O mere ka ọ nyaa ịnyịnya ụgbọ ya nke abụọ. Ndị oti mkpu na-etikwa nʼihu ya, “Gbuonụ ikpere nʼala.” Otu a ka Fero si mee Josef onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
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”;
Fero gwakwara Josef sị, “Ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Fero! O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ewelita aka maọbụ ụkwụ ya nʼala Ijipt niile ma ọ bụghị site nʼike i nyere ya.”
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.
Fero gụrụ Josef aha Zafenat-Pania. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya, Asenat, nwa Pọtifera, onye nchụaja obodo a na-akpọ On, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Josef bịara gazuo ala Ijipt.
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;
Josef gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe o bidoro iguzo nʼihu Fero eze Ijipt. O si nʼihu Fero pụọ, malite ijegharị ebe niile nʼala Ijipt.
47 and the land makes in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.
Nʼafọ asaa ahụ nke a na-eriju afọ, ala mepụtara nri nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.
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;
Nʼime afọ asaa ndị a nke nri juru ebe niile nʼIjipt, Josef chịkọtara nri niile nke si nʼubi, ma chekwaa ha nʼụlọ e wuru maka iche nri nʼobodo niile ahụ. Nʼobodo ọbụla, ka ọ na-etinye ihe oriri nke si nʼubi gbara ya gburugburu.
49 and Joseph gathers grain as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until he has ceased to number, for there is no number.
Josef chekwara ọka dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. A kwụsịrị ịgụ ha ọnụ nʼihi na ha hiri nne nke ukwuu nke na ha enweghị ọnụọgụgụ.
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,
Tupu oge ụnwụ ahụ ebido, Asenat nwa nwanyị Pọtifera, onye nchụaja nke On, mụtara Josef ụmụ ndị ikom abụọ.
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”;
Josef gụrụ ọkpara ya Manase, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Chineke emeela ka m chefuo ahụhụ m niile, mekwa ka m chefuo ndị ezinaụlọ nna m.”
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.”
Josef gụrụ nwa ya nke abụọ Ifrem. Ọ sịrị, “Nʼihi na Chineke emeela ka m mịa mkpụrụ nʼala nke ahụhụ m.”
53 And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,
Afọ asaa nke ụba nri nke dịrị nʼala Ijipt mechara gabiga.
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;
Afọ asaa nke ụnwụ bidoro bịawa dịka Josef kwuru. Ụnwụ nọ nʼobodo niile, ma nʼala Ijipt niile nri dị.
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.”
Ka agụ jidere ala Ijipt niile, ndị mmadụ tikuru Fero ka o nye ha nri. Ma Fero gwara ndị Ijipt niile, “Jekwurunụ Josef. Ihe ọbụla ọ gwara unu meenụ ya.”
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,
Mgbe ụnwụ ahụ gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, Josef meghepụrụ ụlọ ichebe nri niile bido iresi ndị Ijipt nri, nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
57 and all the earth has come to Egypt, to buy, to Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
Mba niile bịara Ijipt ịzụ nri site nʼaka Josef nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼụwa niile.
