< Genesis 41 >
1 It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River.
2 Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
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].
3 Behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, undesirable and thin. They stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
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.
4 Then the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
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.
5 Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
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.
6 Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
7 The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, and, behold, it was a dream.
And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain fat and full and he awoke Pharaoh and there! a dream.
8 It came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled. He sent and called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
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.
9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day.
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
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.
11 We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed.
12 There was with us there a young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted for us our dreams. He interpreted for each of us according to his dream.
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.
13 It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one he hanged.”
And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
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.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but there is no interpreter for it. But I have heard about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
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.
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh.
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River.
18 Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
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].
19 Behold, seven other cows came up after them, weak, very undesirable, and thin. I never saw in all the land of Egypt such undesirableness like them.
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.
20 The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat.
21 When they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, for they were still as undesirable as before. Then I awoke.
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.
22 I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good.
23 Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang up after them.
And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
24 The thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but there was none that could explain it to me.”
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.
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared to Pharaoh.
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.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it.
27 The seven thin and undesirable cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven thin heads scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
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.
28 That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh.
29 Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt.
30 Seven years of famine will come after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will devastate the land.
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.
31 The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.
And not it will be known the plenty in the land because of the famine that after thus for [will be] heavy it very.
32 That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
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.
33 Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put him over the land of Egypt.
And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant years.
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.
35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, for food to be used in the cities. They should preserve it.
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].
36 The food will be a supply for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in the land of Egypt. In this way the land will not be devastated by the famine.”
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.
37 This advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his.
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
And he said Pharaoh to servants his ¿ has he been found like this one a man whom [the] spirit of God [is] in him.
39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
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.
40 You will be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.”
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.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt.
42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand. He clothed him with clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain on his neck.
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.
43 He had him ride in the second chariot which he possessed. Men shouted before him, “Bend the knee.” Pharaoh put him over all the land of Egypt.
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.
44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
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.
45 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.
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.
46 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.
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.
47 In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls.
48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put into each city the food from the fields that surrounded it.
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.
49 Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
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.
50 Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
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.
51 Joseph called the name of his firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household.”
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.
52 He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my.
53 The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt.
54 The seven years of famine began, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
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.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people loudly called on Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he says.”
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.
56 The famine was over all the face of the whole land. Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
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.
57 All the earth was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
