< Genesis 41 >
1 Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
Napasamak nga idi napalabas ti dua a tawen, nagtagtagainep ti Faraon. Kampay idi, nakatakder isuna iti igid ti Karayan Nile.
2 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
Pagammoan, adda pito a baka a timmakdang manipud iti Karayan Nile, napipintas ken nalulukmeg dagitoy, ket nagarabda kadagiti runo.
3 Soon seven other cows, unhealthy-looking and thin, came up behind them from the Nile [River]. They stood alongside the fat cows that were on the riverbank.
Pagammoan, adda met sabali pay a pito a baka a timmakdang a simmaruno kadakuada manipud iti Karayan Nile, kasla la adda sakit dagitoy ken nakukuttongda. Nagtakderda iti asideg dagiti sabali pay a baka iti igid ti karayan.
4 Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
Kalpasanna kinnan dagiti kasla adda sakitna ken nakukuttong a baka dagiti pito a napipintas ken nalulukmeg a baka. Kalpasanna, nakariing ti Faraon.
5 The king went to sleep again, and he had another dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain that were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and all growing on one stalk.
Ket naturog manen isuna ket nagtagtagainep iti maikadua a daras. Adda kampay idi iti pito a dawa a nagrusing manipud iti maymaysa nga ungkay, nabagas ken napintas daytoy.
6 After that, the king saw that seven other heads of grain sprouted on that (OR, on another) stalk. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
Pagammoan, pito met a dawa nga eppes ken nalanet gapu iti angin ti daya iti nagrusing kalpasan dagiti immuna.
7 Then the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven ripe full heads. Then the king woke up. He realized that he had been dreaming.
Inalun-on dagiti eppes a dawa dagiti napintas ken nabagas a dawa. Nakariing ti Faraon, ket naamirisna a tagtagainep laeng gayam daytoy.
8 But the next morning he was worried about the meaning of the dream. So he summoned all the magicians and wise men who lived in Egypt. He told them what he had dreamed, but none of them could tell him the meaning of the two dreams.
Napasamak nga iti kabigatanna, mariribukan unay ti espirituna. Nangibaon isuna kadagiti adipenna a mangayab kadagiti amin a salamangkero ken mamasirib a lallaki iti Egipto. Imbaga ti Faraon kadakuada dagiti tagtagainepna, ngem awan iti uray maysa kadakuada a makaibaga iti kaipapanan dagitoy a tagtagainep iti Faraon.
9 Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you.
Ket kinuna ti panguloen nga agiserserbi iti inumen iti Faraon, “Ita, panpanunutek ti maipapan kadagiti nakabasolak.
10 One time you were angry with two of us. So you put me and the chief baker in the prison in the house of the captain of the palace guards.
Nakaunget ti Faraon kadagiti adipenna ket pinaibaludnak iti balay ti kapitan dagiti guardia, siak ken ti panguloen nga agisagsagana iti taraon.
11 While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
Nagtagtagainepkami a dua iti maysa a rabii. Nagtagtagainep ti tunggal maysa kadakami ket saan nga agpada ti kaipapanan dagiti tinagtagainepmi.
12 There was a young Hebrew man there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the palace guards. We told him what we had dreamed, and he told us what our dreams meant. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.
Adda kaduami sadiay a maysa nga agtutubo a lalaki a Hebreo, nga adipen ti kapitan dagiti guardia. Imbagami kenkuana ket inlawlawagna ti kaipapanan dagiti tagtagainepmi. Imbagana ti kaipapanan ti tagtagainep ti tunggal maysa kadakami.
13 And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. [The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph].”
Napasamak a no ania iti imbagana a kaipapanan ti tagtagainepmi ket isu ti napasamak. Insublinak ti Faraon iti akemko, ngem binitayna ti kaduak.”
14 When the king heard that, he told some servants to bring Joseph to him, and they quickly brought Joseph out of the prison. Joseph shaved and put on better clothes, and then he went and stood in front of the king.
Kalpasanna, pinaayaban ti Faraon ni Jose. Dagus nga inruarda isuna iti pagbaludan. Nagibarbas, sinukatanna ti kawesna, ket napan iti Faraon.
15 The king said to Joseph, “I had two dreams, and no one can tell me what they mean. But someone told me that when you hear someone tell about a dream he has had, you can tell that person what the dream means.”
Kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Adda natagtagainepak, ngem awan iti makailawlawag iti daytoy. Ngem nangngegko ti maipapan kenka, a no mangngegmo ti maysa a tagtagainep, mailawlawagmo daytoy.”
16 But Joseph replied to the king, “No, I cannot do that. It is God who knows the meaning of dreams, but he will enable me to tell you their meaning, and they will mean something good.”
Simmungbat ni Jose iti Faraon, a kunana, “Saan nga iti bukodko. Sungbatan ti Dios ti Faraon nga addaan iti pabor.”
17 The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
Nagsao ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Iti tagtagainepko, nagtakderak kampay idi iti igid ti Karayan Nile.
18 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
Pagammoan, adda pito a baka a timmakdang manipud iti Karayan Nile, nalulukmeg ken napipintas dagitoy, ket nagarabda kadagiti runo.”
19 Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
Pagammoan, adda pito a sabali pay a baka a timmakdang a simmaruno kadakuada, nakapuy, saan a makaay-ayo a kitaen ken nakukuttong dagitoy. Saanak pay a nakakita iti kasta kakuttong iti entero a daga ti Egipto.
20 The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
Kinnan dagiti nakuttong ken saan a makaay-ayo a baka dagiti immuna a pito a nalukmeg a baka.
21 But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.
Idi nakandan dagitoy, saan a makita a kinnanda ida, ta saanda latta a makaay-ayo a kitaen a kas iti sigud a langada. Kalpasanna, nakariingak.
22 Then I had another dream. I saw seven heads of grain. They were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and they were all growing on one stalk.
Iti tagtagainepko, kimmitaak kampay idi, ket pagammoan, adda pito a dawa a rimmuar manipud iti maysa nga ungkay, nabagas ken napintas dagitoy.
23 Then [to my surprise] I saw seven other heads of grain that sprouted. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
Pagammoan, adda pay pito a dawa nga eppes, nakuttong, ken nalanet gapu iti angin ti daya ti nagrusing a simmaruno kadakuada.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but none of them could explain to me what they meant.”
Inalun-on dagiti eppes a dawa dagiti pito a napipintas a dawa. Imbagak dagitoy a tagtagainep kadagiti salamangkero, ngem awan pulos ti makaipalawag kaniak iti daytoy.
25 Then Joseph said to the king, “Both your dreams have the same meaning. God is revealing to you in your dreams what he is about to do.
Kinuna ni Jose iti Faraon, “Agpada ti tagtagainep ti Faraon. Impakaammo ti Dios iti Faraon ti aramidennanto.
26 The seven healthy cows represent seven years. The seven good heads of grain also represent seven years. The two dreams both have the same meaning.
Dagiti pito a napipintas a baka ket pito a tawen, ken dagiti pito a napipintas a dawa ket pito a tawen. Agpada dagiti tagtagainep.
27 The seven thin ugly cows that came up behind them and the seven worthless heads of grain that were dried up by the hot east wind each represent seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce).
Ken dagiti pito a nakuttong ken saan a makaay-ayo a kitaen a baka a timmakdang a simmaruno kadagitoy ket pito a tawen, ken kasta met a dagiti pito nga eppes a dawa a nalanet gapu iti angin ti daya ket piton a tawen ti panagbisin iti kaipapananda.
28 It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
Dayta ti banag nga imbagak iti Faraon. Impaltiing ti Dios iti Faraon ti aramidennanto.
29 There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
Kastoy ti mapasamak, addanto pito a tawen a nawadwad ti apit iti entero a daga ti Egipto.
30 but after that there will be seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce). Then people will forget all the years when there was plenty of food, because the famine that will come afterward will ruin the country.
Kalpasan dagitoy, umayto ti pito a tawen ti panagbisin, ket malipatanto ti amin a kinawadwad iti daga ti Egipto, ken dadaelento ti panagbisin ti daga.
31 The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
Saanto a malagip ti kinawadwad iti daga gapu iti panagbisin a sumaruno, ta nakaronto unay daytoy.
32 The reason God gave to you two dreams is that he [wants you to know] that this will happen, and he will cause it to happen very soon.
Naulit dayta a tagtagainep ti Faraon gapu ta inkeddengen ti Dios dayta a banag, ken ipatungpalto daytoy ti Dios iti mabiit.
33 “Now I suggest that you should choose a man who is wise and can make good decisions. I suggest that you appoint him to direct the affairs of the whole country.
Ita, masapul a mangbiruk ti Faraon iti tao a nasaririt ken masirib, ket isaadna daytoy a mangimaton iti entero a daga ti Egipto.
34 You should also appoint supervisors over the country, in order that they can arrange to collect one-fifth of all the grain that is harvested during the seven years when food is plentiful.
Kastoy koma ti aramiden ti Faraon: Mangdutok koma isuna iti mangimaton iti daga. Alaen koma dagitoy ti apagkalima dagiti apit ti Egipto iti pito a tawen ti kinawadwad.
35 They should collect this amount of grain during those seven years that are coming, when there will be plenty of food. You should supervise them as they store it in the cities.
Urnungenda koma amin dagiti taraon kadagiti nasayaat a tawtawen nga umay. Ikan koma ida ti Faraon iti kalintegan nga agidulin kadagiti bukbukel kadagiti siudad. Pabantayanna koma kadakuada daytoy.
36 This grain should be stored so that it can be eaten during the seven years when there will be a famine here in Egypt, so that the people in this country will not die from hunger.”
Dagiti taraon ket agbalinto nga abasto ti daga kabayatan iti pito a tawen a panagbisin a mapasamakto iti daga ti Egipto. Iti kastoy a wagas, saanto a mapukaw dagiti adda iti daga gapu iti panagbisin.
37 The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
Nasayaat daytoy a pammagbaga iti imatang ti Faraon ken iti imatang dagiti amin nga adipenna.
38 So the king said to them, “(Can we find any other man like Joseph, a man to whom God has given his Spirit?/It is not likely that we will find another man like this man, one to whom God has given his Spirit!)” [RHQ]
Kinuna ti Faraon kadagiti adipenna, “Makasaraktayo kadi pay iti kas iti daytoy a tao, nga addaan iti Espiritu ti Dios?”
39 Then the king said to Joseph, “Because God has revealed all this to you, it seems to me that there is no one who is as wise as you and who can decide wisely about things.
Isu a kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Agsipud ta impakita ti Dios kenka amin daytoy, awanen iti kas kenka iti kinasaririt ken kinasirib.
40 So I will put you in charge of everything in my palace. All the people here in Egypt must obey what you command. Only because I am king [MTY] will I have more authority than you.”
Iturayamto ti balayko, ket agtungpalto kenka dagiti amin a tattaok. Iti laeng trono a nabilbilegak ngem sika.”
41 Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
Kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Kitaem, isaadka iti entero a daga ti Egipto.”
42 The king took from his finger the ring that had his seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He put robes made of fine linen on him, and he put a gold chain around his neck.
Inikkat ti Faraon iti imana ti singsingna a nakitikitan iti marka ti pagarian ket inkabilna daytoy iti ramay ni Jose. Kinawesanna daytoy iti nalamuyot a lupot a lino, ken inukkoranna iti balitok a kuentas.
43 Then he arranged for Joseph to ride around in the chariot [that showed that he was] the second-most important man in the country. When Joseph rode in the chariot, men shouted to the people who were on the road in front of him, “Get off the road!” So the king put Joseph in charge of everything in the country.
Pinagluganna isuna iti maikadua a karwahena. Adda lallaki a nagpukkkaw iti sangoananna, “Agparintumengkayo.” Insaad isuna ti Faraon a mangituray iti entero a daga ti Egipto.
44 The king said to Joseph, “I am the king, but no one in the whole land of Egypt will do anything [IDM] if you do not permit them to do it.”
Kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Siak ti Faraon, ket malaksid kenka, awan ti siasinoman a tao a mangituray iti amin a daga ti Egipto.”
45 The king gave Joseph a new name, Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath to be his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, who was a priest in a temple in On [city]. Then Joseph became known (OR, traveled) through all the land of Egypt.
Pinanaganan ti Faraon ni Jose a “Zafenat Panea.” Intedna kenkuana ni Asenat a kas asawana, ti putot a babai ni Potifera a padi ti On. Inturayan ni Jose ti entero nga Egipto.
46 Joseph was 30 years old when he started to work for the king of Egypt. To do his work, he left the king’s palace and traveled throughout Egypt.
Tallopulo ti tawen ni Jose idi nagtakder isuna iti sangoanan ti Faraon, nga ari ti Egipto. Rimmuar ni Jose manipud iti ayan ti Faraon, ket napan iti entero a daga ti Egipto.
47 During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
Iti uneg ti pito a tawen ti kinawadwad, adu ti naapit iti daga.
48 As Joseph supervised them, his helpers collected one-fifth of all the grain that was produced during those years, and stored it in the cities. In each city, he had his helpers store up the grain that was grown in the fields that surrounded that city.
Inurnongna amin dagiti taraon iti uneg ti pito a tawen nga adda iti daga ti Egipto ket indulinna dagiti taraon kadagiti siudad. Indulinna iti tunggal siudad ti taraon a naapit kadagiti talon nga adda iti aglawlaw daytoy.
49 Joseph had them store up a huge amount of grain. It looked as plentiful as the sand on the seashore. There was so much grain that after a while they stopped keeping records of how much grain was stored, because there was more grain than they could measure.
Nagidulin ni Jose kadagiti bukbukel a kasla darat iti baybay ti kaaduna, kasta unay ti kaaduna ket urayna la insardeng iti panangbilbilang kadagitoy, gapu ta saanen a mabilang daytoy.
50 Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
Sakbay a dimteng dagiti tawen ti panagbisin, adda dua nga annak ni Jose, nga inyanak kenkuana ni Asenat, nga anak a babai ni Potifera a padi ti On.
51 Joseph named the first one Manasseh, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘forget]’, because, he said, “God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.”
Pinanaganan ni Jose ti inauna a putotna iti Manases, ta kinunana, tinulongannak ti Dios a nanglipat iti amin a pakariribukak ken amin a sangkabalayan ti amak.
52 He named his second son Ephraim, [which means ‘to have children]’, because, he said, “God has given me children here in this land where I have suffered.”
Pinanagananna iti Efraim ti maikadua a putotna, ta kinunana, “Pinagbalinnak ti Dios a nabunga iti daga a nakaparigatak.”
53 Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
Nagpatingga ti pito a tawen ti kinawadwad iti daga ti Egipto.
54 Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities.
Nangrugi ti pito a tawen ti panagbisin, kas iti kinuna ni Jose. Adda panagbisin iti amin a daga, ngem adda taraon iti amin a daga ti Egipto.
55 When all the people of [MTY] Egypt had eaten all of their own food and were still hungry, they begged the king for food. So the king told all the people of Egypt, “Go to Joseph, and do what he tells you to do.”
Idi adda panagbisin iti amin a daga ti Egipto, nagpakaasi dagiti tattao iti Faraon para iti taraon. Kinuna ti Faraon kadagiti amin a taga-Egipto, “Mapankayo kenni Jose ket aramidenyo ti ibagana.”
56 When the famine was very bad throughout the whole country, Joseph ordered his helpers to open the storehouses. Then they sold the grain in the storehouses to the people of Egypt, because the famine was very severe all over Egypt.
Adda panagbisin iti amin a paset ti entero a daga. Linukatan ni Jose dagiti amin a pagipenpenan ket inlakona kadagiti Egipcio. Nakaro ti panagbisin iti daga ti Egipto.
57 And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
Um-umay ti amin a paset ti daga iti Egipto tapno gumatang iti bukbukel kenni Jose, gapu ta nakaro ti panagbisin iti amin a daga.
