Genesis 41
1 And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
Ikawa mwishoni mwa miaka miwili mizima Farao akaota ndoto.
2 and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
Tazama, alikuwa amesimama kando ya Nile. Tazama, ng'ombe saba wakatoka katika mto Nile, wakupendeza na wanene, na wakajilisha katika nyasi.
3 And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
Tazama, ng'ombe wengine saba wakatoka katika Nile baada yao, wasiopendeza na wamekondeana. Wakasimama ukingoni mwa mto kando ya wale ng'ombe wengine.
4 Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
Kisha wale ng'ombe wasiopendeza na waliokonda wakawala wale waliokuwa wanapendeza na walionenepa.
5 And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
Kisha Farao akaamka. Kisha akalala na kuota mara ya pili. Tazama, masuke saba ya nafaka yalichipua katika mche mmoja, mema na mazuri.
6 and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
Tazama, masuke saba, membamba na yaliyokaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakachipua baada yake.
7 Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
Masuke membamba yakayameza yale masuke saba mema yote. Farao akaamka, na, tazama, ilikuwa ni ndoto tu.
8 And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
Ikawa wakati wa asubuhi roho yake ikafadhaika. Akatuma na kuwaita waganga na wenye hekima wote wa Misri. Farao akawasimlia ndoto zake, lakini hakuna aliyeweza kumtafsiria Farao.
9 Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
Kisha mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamwambia Farao, “Leo ninayafikiri makosa yangu.
10 Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
Farao aliwakasirikia watumishi wake, na kutuweka kifungoni katika nyumba ya kapteni wa walinzi, mkuu wa waokaji na mimi.
11 Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
Tuliota ndoto usiku huo mmoja, yeye na mimi. Kila mmoja aliota kwa kadili ya tafsiri yake.
12 And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
Pamoja nasi kulikuwa na kijana Mwebrania, mtumishi wa kapteni wa walinzi. Tulimwambia na akatutafsiria ndoto zetu. Alitutafsiria kila mmoja wetu kulingana na ndoto yake.
13 And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
Ikawa kama alivyotutafsiria, ndivyo ilivyokuwa. Farao alinirudisha katika nafasi yangu, lakini akamtundika yule mwingine.”
14 Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Ndipo Farao alipotuma na kumwita Yusufu. Kwa haraka wakamtoa gerezani. Akajinyoa mwenyewe, akabadili mavazi yake, na akaingia kwa Farao.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Nimeoda ndoto, lakini hakuna wa kuitafsiri. Lakini nimesikia kuhusu wewe, kwamba unaposikia ndoto unaweza kuitafsiri.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
Yusufu akamjibu Farao, kusema, “Siyo katika mimi. Mungu atamjibu Farao kwa uhakika.”
17 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Katika ndoto yangu, tazama, nilisimama katika ukingo wa Nile.
18 When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
Tazama, ng'ombe saba wakatoka ndani ya Nile, wanene na wakuvutia, nao wakajilisha katika nyasi.
19 And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
Tazama, ng'ombe wengine saba wakapanda baada yao, dhaifu, wabaya, na wembaba. Sijawao kuona wabaya kama hao katika nchi yote ya Misri.
20 Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
Wale ng'ombe wembamba na wabaya wakawala wale ng'ombe saba na wanene.
21 and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Walipokuwa wamemaliza kuwala wote, haikujulikana kama walikuwa wamewala, kwani walibaki wabaya kama mwanzo. Kisha nikaamka.
22 Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
Niliona katika ndoto yangu, na tazama, masuke saba yakatoka katika bua moja, jema na limejaa.
23 And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
Tazama, masuke saba zaidi, yaliyonyauka, membamba na yamekaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakachipua baada yake.
24 Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
Yale masuke membamba yakayameza masuke saba mema. Niliwaambia waganga ndoto hizi, lakini hakuna aliyeweza kunielezea.”
25 Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
Yusufu akamwambia Farao, “Ndoto za Farao ni moja. Mungu amemwambia Farao kuhusu jambo analokwenda kulifanya.
26 The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
Wale ng'ombe saba wema ni miaka saba, na masuke saba mema ni miaka saba. Ndoto ni moja.
27 And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
Na wale ng'ombe saba wembamba na wabaya waliokuja baadaye ni miaka saba, na pia masuke saba membamba yaliyokaushwa na upepo wa mashariki itakuwa miaka saba ya njaa.
28 The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
Hilo ni jambo nililomwambia Farao. Mungu amemfunulia Farao jambo analokwenda kulifanya.
29 Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
Tazama, miaka saba yenye utele mwingi inakuja katika nchi yote ya Misri.
30 Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
Na miaka saba ya njaa itakuja baada yake, na utele wote katika nchi ya Misri utasahaulika, na njaa itaiaribu nchi.
31 neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
Utele hautakumbukwa katika nchi kwa sababu ya njaa itakayofuata, kwa kuwa itakuwa kali sana.
32 And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
Kwamb ndoto ilijirudia kwa Farao sababu ni kwamba jambo hili limeanzishwa na Mungu, na Mungu atalitimiza hivi karibuni.
33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
Basi Farao atafute mtu mwenye maharifa na busara, na kumweka juu ya nchi ya Misri.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
Farao na afanye hivi: achague wasimamizi juu ya nchi. Na wachukue sehemu ya tano ya mazao ya Misri katika miaka saba ya shibe.
35 And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
Na wakusanye chakula chote cha hii miaka myema ijayo na kuitunza nafaka chini ya mamlaka ya Farao, kwa chakula kutumika katika miji. Wakiifadhi.
36 So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
Chakula kitakuwa matumizi ya nchi kwa miaka saba ya njaa itakayokuwa katika nchi ya Misri. Kwa njia hii nchi haitaaribiwa na njaa.”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
Ushauri huu ukawa mwema machoni pa Farao na machoni pa watumishi wake wote.
38 and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
Farao akawambia watumishi wake, “Je tunaweza kumpata mtu kama huyu, ambaye ndani yake kuna Roho wa Mungu?”
39 So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
Hivyo Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Kwa vile Mungu amekuonesha yote haya, hakuna mtu mwenye ufahamu na busara kama wewe.
40 Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
Utakuwa juu ya nyumba yangu, watu wangu watatawaliwa kwa kadili ya neno lako. Katika kiti cha enzi peke yake mimi nitakuwa mkuu kuliko wewe.”
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Tazama, nimekuweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.”
42 So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
Farao akavua pete yake ya mhuri kutoka katika mkono wake na kuiweka katika mkono wa Yusufu. Akamvika kwa mavazi ya kitani safi, na kuweka mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwake.
43 and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
Akataka apandishwe katika kibandawazi cha pili alichokuwa nacho. Watu wakapiga kelele mbele yake, “Pigeni magoti.” Farao akamweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Mimi ni Farao, mbali na wewe, hakuna mtu atakayeinua mkono wake au mguu wake katika nchi ya Misri.”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwita Yusufu jina la Zafenathi Panea.” Akampa Asenathi, binti wa Potifera kuhani wa On, kuwa mke wake. Yusufu akaenda juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
46 Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
Yusufu alikuwa na umri wa miaka thelathini aliposimama mbele ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Yusufu akatoka mbele ya Farao, na kwenda katika nchi yote ya Misri.
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
Katika miaka saba ya shibe nchi ilipozaa kwa wingi.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
Akakusanya chakula chote cha miaka saba iliyokuwako katika nchi ya Misri na kukiweka chakula katika miji. Akaweka katika kila mji chakula cha mashamba yaliyokizunguka.
49 Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
Yusufu akahifadhi nafaka kama mchanga wa bahari, kingi kiasi kwamba akaacha kuhesabu, kwa sababu kilikuwa hakihesabiki.
50 Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
Kabla miaka ya njaa kuingia Yusufu akapata wana wawili, ambao Asenathi, binti wa Potifera kuhani wa On, alimzalia.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
Yusufu akamwita mzaliwa wake wa kwanza Manase, kwani alisema, “Mungu amenisahaurisha shida zangu zote na nyumba yote ya baba yangu.”
52 And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
Akamwita mwanawe wa pili Efraimu, kwani alisema, Mungu amenipa uzao katika nchi ya mateso yangu.”
53 Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
Miaka saba ya shibe iliyokuwa katika nchi ya Misri ikafika mwisho.
54 and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
Miaka saba ya njaa ikaanza, kama alivyokuwa amesema Yusufu. Kulikuwa na njaa katika nchi zote, lakini katika nchi yote ya Misri kulikuwa na chakula.
55 Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
Nchi yote ya Misri ilipokuwa na njaa, watu wakapiga kelele kwa Farao kwa ajili ya chakula. Farao akawambia Wamisri wote, “Nendeni kwa Yusufu na mfanye atakavyosema.”
56 Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
Njaa ilikuwa juu ya uso wote wa nchi. Yusufu akafungua ghala zote na kuuza chakula kwa Wamisri. Njaa ilikuwa kali sana katika nchi ya Misri.
57 All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
Dunia yote ikaja Misri kununua nafaka kutoka kwa Yusufu, kwani njaa ilikuwa kali katika dunia yote.
