< Genesis 41 >

1 Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
Ie peake ty taoñe roe, le nañi­nofy t’i Parò, inao! ie nijohañe marine i saka Nailey,
2 And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
le inge nitroatse amy Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho niogoògo vaho nihinañe amo vondroñeo.
3 And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
Ni­troatse nanonjohy irezay ty tamanañe fito niriverive naho boroka nijagaro­doñe marine i fito ila’e añ’olo’ i Nailey rey.
4 The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
Nabotse’ i añombe rene’e fito molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake rey, le nivañoñe t’i Parò.
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
Nirotse indraike re nañinofy fañindroe’e: Hehe te sambe aman-taho’e raike ty voto tsako fito vañoñe toe daoza’e.
6 Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
Inge ka ty voto-tsako lolondo’e fito, manifitse, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñana nitiry afara.
7 The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
Nagodra’ i voto manifitse rey i voto fito daoza’e vokatse rey. Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Parò le nizoe’e te nofy.
8 It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Ie nimaraiñe le niembetse ty arofo’e; aa le nirahe’e ty hikoike ze fonga tsimaito’ i Mitsraime naho ze hene mahihitse ama’e ao. Natalili’ i Parò ama’e o nofi’eo fe leo raike tsy nahavaky irezay amy Parò.
9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
Aa le hoe ty asa’ i beim-panjotso fitoviy amy Parò, Nampitiahie’ ty andro toy ahiko o tahikoo.
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
Teo te niviñera’ i Parò o mpitoro’eo vaho sindre najo’e am-balabey añ’anjomba’ i beim-pigaritsey, izaho naho i beim-panoñakey.
11 We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
Songa nañinofy amy haleñey, ie naho izaho, sindre aman-dika’e i ninofise’ey.
12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
Nitrao­k’ ama’ay ty ajalahy nte-Evre, mpitoro’ i beim-pigaritsey. Natalili’ay ama’e, le nadika’e ama’ay o nofi’aio, sambe nadika’e ama’e i ninofise’ey.
13 And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."
Ie amy zay, i nandika’e ama’aiy ty nefetsake: nahereñe amy tolon-drahakoy iraho vaho nanoan-tsingere mañaty i mpanoñakey.
14 Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
Aa le nampañitrife’ i Parò t’Iosefe, le navota’ iareo masìka am-balabey ao; nihitsike re naho nañova saroñe vaho niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Nañinofy iraho, vaho tsy eo ty mahafandika aze. Fe tsinanoko ty ama’o te ihe ty mahavaky nofy naho maha-dika aze.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
Tinoi’ Iosefe t’i Parò ami’ty hoe, Tsy amako fa i Andrianañahare ty hanoiñe i Parò an-kanintsiñe.
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Ie nijohañe añ’ olo’ i Nailey amy nofikoy le
18 And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
naheoko te niakatse i Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake nihinañe amo vondroñeo.
19 And look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
Inge amy zao te nitroatse boak’ ao nanonjohy iareo ty añombe fito raty, loho molonko, naho boròka. Mbe liako tsy nahatrea i haraty zay an-tane Mitsraime atoy.
20 The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
Nagodra’ i añombe rene’e molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e vondrake rey,
21 But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
fe ndra t’ie nampibotseke tsy ho naharendre’ ondaty te nahabeake kanao mbe nihambañe amy teoy ty harati’ iereo. Le nitsekake iraho.
22 And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
Ie amy nofikoy le mbore nahatrea voto tsako fito vañoñe naho soa, sambe niboak’ ami’ty taho’e raike.
23 And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
Indrok’ amy zao te niboake manonjohy iereo ty voto-tsako fito jiba, kifo’e, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñanañe,
24 And the seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
le nabotse’ i voto beikolopoke rey i voto fito soa rey. Aa ie nataliliko amo ambiasao, leo raike tsy nahabejañ’aze amako.
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Aa hoe t’Iosefe amy Parò, Raike ty nofi’ i Parò; fa nabentan’ ­Añahare amy Parò ty hanoe’e aniany.
26 The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
I añombe fito soa rey ro fito taoñe; vaho fito taoñe ka i voto tsako fito soa rey; hambañe i nofy rey.
27 And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
I añombe fito boroka naho molònko rey ro fito taoñe, manahake izay i kifo’e fito jinoi’ i tiok’ atiñanañey rey. San-tsalikoañe fito taoñe izay.
28 It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Ie i vinolako amy Paròy, te nabentan’ Aña­hare amy Parò i hanoe’ey.
29 Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
Inao! handrambañe an-tane Mitsraime atoy fito taoñe ty san-kavokaram-bey.
30 But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,
Hanonjohy izay te hitroatse ty san-kasalikoañe fito taoñe; le fonga ho haliño an-tane Mitsraime atoy i havokarañey; vaho habotse’ ty san-kerè i taney.
31 and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
Tsy ho tiahy an-tane atoy ka i havokarañey amy hasalikoañe hanonjohy azey ami’ty hamafe’ i haoreañey.
32 Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
Aa kanao nifañin-droe’e i nofi’ i Paròy le fa natsaton’ Añahare i rahay vaho antitotse ty andro hametsahan’Añahare aze.
33 Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
Aa soa re te ho joboñe’ i Parò t’indaty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse hampifehea’e ty tane Mitsraime,
34 Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
vaho hamototse higene mpisary amy taney t’i Parò handrambe ty faha-lime’ i taney amy fito taoñe vokatse rey.
35 They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.
Le hatonto’ iareo ze hene mahakama amy taon-joba hitotsake rey, naho hahaja ambanem-pità’ i Parò i tsakoy hañajàñe mahakama amo rovao.
36 That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
Ahaja ho a i taney i mahakamay, ho amy taon-kerè fito hifetsak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoy rey tsy haitoa’ ty san-kasalikoañe ty tane toy.
37 The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Ni-no’ i Parò naho ze hene mpi­toro’e i saontsy zay.
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
Le hoe t’i Parò amo mpitoro’eo, Hahaoniñe ondaty mañirin­kiriñe itoy hao tika—ie aman’ Arofon’ Añahare?
39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Aa hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Kanao nabentan’ Añahare ama’o i he’e zay, tsy eo ty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse te ama’o.
40 You will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
Feheo ty trañoko, ihe ‘nio, vaho ty falie’o ro hampitsaoke ondatiko iabio; i fiambesam-panjakañey avao ty mahabey ahy te ama’o.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
Le hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Hehe, fonga nampifeheko azo ty tane Mitsraime;
42 Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
le nafaha’ i Parò am-pità’e i bange-fitombo’ey naho naombe’e am-pità’ Iosefe naho sinaro’e siki-leny naho niravahe’e tohi-rozañe volamena ty fititia’e
43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire land of Egypt.
vaho nampijoñe’e amy sareten-tsorotà’ey le nikoikoiheñe aolo’e mb’eo ty hoe: Mitongalefa! Le nampandilie’e iaby i tane Mitsraimey.
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt."
Nanao ty hoe am’ Iosefe t’i Parò, Izaho o Parò zao, fe naho tsy ihe, le tsy eo ty hañonjo fitàñe ndra fandia an-tane Mitsraime atoy iaby.
45 Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through the land of Egypt.
Nomei’ i Parò ty tahina Tsofnate-paneàke t’Iosefe le natolots’ aze ho vali’e t’i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera, mpisoro’ i One; vaho nionjom-beo nanitsike i tane Mitsraimey t’Iosefe.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ni-telopolo taoñe t’Iosefe te nijo­hañe aolo’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mits­ra­ime. Niavotse añ’atrefa’ i Parò t’Iosefe vaho nitsitsihe’e ty tane Mitsraime.
47 During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
Namokatse am-botri’e i taney amy taoñe fito vañoñe rey.
48 And he collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
Aa le hene natonto’e ze mahakama an-tane Mitsraime ao amy fito taoñe rey vaho nahaja’e amo rovao o mahakamao; songa rova ro nañajañe ty mahakama boak’ amo teteke mañohok’ azeo.
49 Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
Nañaja tsako mira amo fasen-driakeo t’Iosefe, tsifotofoto kanao tsy nahafañiak’ aze, amy te loho bey tsy nilefe volily.
50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
Nahatoly ana-dahy roe t’Iosefe aolo’ o taom-polakeo, toe nisamaha’ i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera mpisoro’ i One.
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
Natao’ Iosefe Menasè ty añara’ i tañoloñoloña’ey, fa hoe re, Nampandikofen’ Añahare ahy i hene fisotriakoy naho ty anjomban-draeko iaby.
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
Natao’e Efraime ty faharoe, amy te: Nampiraorao ahy an-tane nampiore ahy ao t’i Andrianañahare.
53 And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
Nimodo amy zao i taoñe fito vokatse an-tane Mitsraimey rey;
54 Then the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
le niorotse nitsatoke i fito taon-tsan-kerè rey ty amy saontsi’ Iosefey. Hene nikerè ze tane añe fe hene ama’ mahakama o an-tane Mitsraimeo.
55 When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do."
Ie fonga nisalikoeñe ty antane Mitsraime, le nitoreo maha­kama amy Parò ondatio. Aa hoe t’i Parò amo nte-Mitsraime iabio, Akia mb’am’ Iosefe mb’eo le ze taroñe’e ama’ areo ty hanoe’ areo.
56 So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Aa naho nandrambañe ty tane toy i san-kerèy, le sinoka’ Iosefe o riha iabio vaho naleta’e amo nte-Mitsraimeo, amy te nimafe ty kerè an-tane Mitsraime ao.
57 And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Niheo am’Iosefe e Mitsraime ao iaby ty tane toy hivily tsako, amy te nanitsike ty tane bey toy ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañey.
