Genesis 41
1 And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River.
At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamt, and behold, he stood by the river.
2 And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows good looking of appearance and fat of flesh and they grazed among the reed[s].
Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
3 And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them from the River displeasing of appearance and thin of flesh and they stood beside the cows on [the] bank of the River.
Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
4 And they ate the cows displeasing of appearance and [the] thin of flesh seven the cows good looking of appearance and fat and he awoke Pharaoh.
The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and he dreamed a second [time] and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one fat and good.
He slept and dreamt a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
7 And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain fat and full and he awoke Pharaoh and there! a dream.
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
8 And it was in the morning and it was troubled spirit his and he sent and he summoned all [the] diviner priests of Egypt and all wise [men] its and he recounted Pharaoh to them dream his and there not [was one who] interpreted them for Pharaoh.
In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day.
Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
10 Pharaoh he was angry towards servants his and he put me in [the] custody of [the] house of [the] commander of the bodyguards me and [the] chief of the bakers.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
11 And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed.
We dreamt a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamt according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And [was] there with us a young man a Hebrew a slave of [the] commander of the bodyguards and we recounted to him and he interpreted for us dreams our each according to dream his he interpreted.
There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
13 And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged.
As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
14 And he sent Pharaoh and he summoned Joseph and people brought quickly him from the pit and he shaved and he changed clothes his and he came to Pharaoh.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph a dream I have dreamed and [is one who] interprets there not it and I I have heard on you saying you hear a dream to interpret it.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River.
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
18 And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows fat of flesh and good looking of form and they grazed among the reed[s].
and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
19 And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them weak and displeasing of form very and thin of flesh not I have seen like them in all [the] land of Egypt to badness.
and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
20 And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat.
The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
21 And they went into inward part[s] their and not it was known that they had gone into inward part[s] their and appearance their [was] displeasing just as at the beginning and I awoke.
and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good.
I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
23 And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
24 And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain good and I said to the diviner priests and there not [was one who] told to me.
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
25 And he said Joseph to Pharaoh [the] dream of Pharaoh [is] one it [that] which God [is] about to do he has told to Pharaoh.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it.
The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
27 And seven the cows thin and displeasing that were coming up after them [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain empty scorched of the east wind they will be seven years of famine.
The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.
28 That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh.
That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt.
Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
30 And they will arise seven years of famine after them and it will be forgotten all the plenty in [the] land of Egypt and it will destroy the famine the land.
Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
31 And not it will be known the plenty in the land because of the famine that after thus for [will be] heavy it very.
and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
32 And on [the] being repeated of the dream to Pharaoh two times for [is] certain the matter from with God and [is] hurrying God to do it.
The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt.
“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let him act Pharaoh and let him appoint overseers over the land and he will take a fifth of [the] land of Egypt in seven [the] years of plenty.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all [the] food of the years good that are coming these and let them store up grain under [the] hand of Pharaoh food in the cities and they will keep [it].
Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
36 And it will become the food a store for the land for seven [the] years of famine which they will be in [the] land of Egypt and not it will be cut off the land by the famine.
The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
37 And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his.
The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And he said Pharaoh to servants his ¿ has he been found like this one a man whom [the] spirit of God [is] in him.
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph after has made know God you all this there not [is] a discerning [person] and a wise [person] like you.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
40 You you will be over house my and on mouth your it will kiss all people my only the throne I will be great more than you.
You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
41 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 And he removed Pharaoh signet-ring his from on hand his and he set it on [the] hand of Joseph and he clothed him clothes of fine linen and he put [the] chain of gold on neck his.
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
43 And he made ride him in [the] chariot of the second which [belonged] to him and they called out before him bend [the] knee and he put him over all [the] land of Egypt.
He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph I [am] Pharaoh and apart from you not he will lift up anyone hand his and foot his in all [the] land of Egypt.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 And he called Pharaoh [the] name of Joseph Zaphenath-Paneah and he gave to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On to a wife and he went out Joseph over [the] land of Egypt.
Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph [was] a son of thirty year[s] when stood he before Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he went out Joseph from to before Pharaoh and he passed in all [the] land of Egypt.
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls.
In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
48 And he gathered all [the] food of - seven [the] years which they were in [the] land of Egypt and he put food in the cities [the] food of [the] field[s] of the city which [was] around it he put in [the] midst of it.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
49 And he stored up Joseph grain like [the] sand of the sea much very until that he ceased to measure [it] for there not [was] a measure.
Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
50 And to Joseph it was born two sons before it came [the] year of famine whom she bore to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On.
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 And he called Joseph [the] name of the firstborn Manasseh for he has made forget me God all trouble my and all [the] household of father my.
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
52 And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my.
The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt.
The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
54 And they began seven [the] years of famine to come just as he had said Joseph and it was a famine in all the lands and in all [the] land of Egypt it was food.
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 bread.
55 And it was hungry all [the] land of Egypt and it cried out the people to Pharaoh for food and he said Pharaoh to all Egypt go to Joseph [that] which he will say to you you will do.
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
56 And the famine it was over all [the] face of the land and he opened Joseph all that [was] in them and he bought grain to Egypt and it was severe the famine in [the] land of Egypt.
The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
