Genesis 41
1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
Og det skete, der to Aar vare omme, da drømte Farao, og se, han stod ved Floden.
2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
Og se, af Floden opsteg syv Køer, skønne af Udseende og fede paa Kød, og aade i Engen.
3 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.
Og se, syv andre Køer opstege efter disse af Floden, stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, og stode hos de andre Køer paa Bredden af Floden.
4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
Og de Køer, som vare stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, opaade de syv Køer, som vare skønne af Udseende og fede; saa vaagnede Farao.
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
Og han faldt i Søvn og drømte anden Gang, og se, syv Aks voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Og se, syv Aks, tynde og svedne af Østenvinden, skøde op efter dem.
7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
Og de magre Aks opslugte de syv fede og fulde Aks; da vaagnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.
8 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.
Og det skete om Morgenen, da var hans Aand bekymret, og han sendte hen og lod kalde alle Spaamænd i Ægypten og alle de vise derudi, og Farao fortalte dem sin Drøm; men der var ingen, som udtydede Farao den.
9 Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
Da talede den øverste Mundskænk til Farao og sagde: Jeg ihukommer i Dag min Synd.
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
Farao var vred paa sine Tjenere og lod mig sætte i Fængsel udi Huset hos den øverste for Livvagten, mig og den øverste Bager.
11 We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.
Da drømte vi en Drøm i een Nat, jeg og han; vi drømte, hver efter sin Drøms Udtydning.
12 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.
Og der var hos os en hebraisk ung Karl, en Tjener hos den øverste for Livvagten, og ham fortalte vi, og han udtydede os vore Drømme; hver efter sin Drøm udtydede han det.
13 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
Og det skete, ligesom han udtydede os det, saa skete det; mig satte man i mit Sted igen, og ham hængte man.
14 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.
Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde Josef, og de lode ham straks ud af Hulen, og han lod sig rage og førte sig i andre Klæder og kom til Farao.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed 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.”
Da sagde Farao til Josef: Jeg drømte en Drøm, og ingen er der, som kan udtyde den; men jeg har hørt sige om dig, at naar du hører en Drøm, kan du udtyde den.
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
Og Josef svarede Farao og sagde: Det staar ikke til mig; Gud skal svare Farao godt.
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
Da sagde Farao til Josef: Der jeg drømte, se, da stod jeg paa Bredden af Floden.
18 and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
Og se, syv Køer opstege af Floden, fede paa Kød og skønne af Skikkelse, og de aade i Engen.
19 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.
Og se, efter dem opstege syv andre Køer, tynde og saare stygge af Skikkelse og magre paa Kød; jeg har ikke set saa stygge som dem i hele Ægyptens Land.
20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
Og de magre og stygge Køer aade de syv første fede Køer.
21 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.
Og der de havde opædt dem, kendtes det dog ikke paa dem, at de havde opædt dem, og de vare stygge at se til ligesom tilforn; og jeg vaagnede.
22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
Og jeg saa, der jeg drømte, og se, syv Aks, som voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Og se, efter dem skøde syv tørre Aks frem, som vare tynde og svedne af Østenvinden.
24 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.”
Og de tynde Aks opslugte de syv gode Aks; og jeg har sagt Spaamændene det, men ingen kan udtyde mig det.
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
Og Josef sagde til Farao: Faraos Drøm, den er een: Gud giver Farao til Kende, hvad han vil gøre.
26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
De syv gode Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv gode Aks, de ere syv Aar, det er een Drøm.
27 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.
Og de syv magre og stygge Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv tomme Aks, svedne af Østenvinden, skulle være syv Hungers Aar.
28 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Det er det Ord, som jeg har sagt Farao: Gud lader Farao se, hvad han vil gøre.
29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
Se, der kommer syv Aar med stor Overflødighed i hele Ægyptens Land.
30 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,
Og syv Hungers Aar skulle komme efter dem, at al den Overflødighed skal glemmes i Ægyptens Land, og Hungeren skal fortære Landet.
31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
Og der skal ikke vides af den Overflødighed i Landet for den Hunger, som kommer derefter; thi den bliver meget svar.
32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Men at Farao har drømt igen anden Gang betyder, at det skal visselig ske af Gud, og Gud skal snarlig gøre dette.
33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Saa se nu Farao sig om efter en forstandig og viis Mand, som han kan sætte over Ægyptens Land.
34 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.
Dette gøre Farao, og han beskikke Tilsynsmænd over Landet og tage den femte Del af Ægyptens Land i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
35 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.
Og de skulle samle alle Haande Spise udi disse tilkommende gode Aar og sanke Korn under Faraos Haand til Spise, i Stæderne, og de skulle forvare det.
36 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.”
Og den Spise skal være beskikket for Landet til de syv Hungerens Aar, som skulle komme over Ægyptens Land, at Landet ikke skal ødelægges af Hunger.
37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Og denne Tale var god for Faraos Øjne og for alle hans Tjeneres Øjne.
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
Og Farao sagde til sine Tjenere: Mon vi kunne finde nogen som denne, en Mand, i hvem Guds Aand er?
39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
Og Farao sagde til. Josef: Efterdi Gud har ladet dig vide alt dette, da er ingen saa forstandig og viis som du.
40 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.”
Du skal være over mit Hus, og alt mit Folk skal være dine Ord lydigt; alene ved Tronen vil jeg være større end du.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Og Farao sagde til Josef: Se, jeg har sat dig over alt Ægyptens Land.
42 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.
Og Farao tog sin Ring af sin Haand og satte den paa Josefs Haand og lod ham føre i kostelige Linklæder og hængte en Guldkæde om hans Hals
43 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.
og lod ham age paa sin anden Vogn, og de raabte for ham: Abrek; og han satte ham over hele Ægyptens Land.
44 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.”
Og Farao sagde til Josef: Jeg er Farao; og uden din Villie skal ingen Mand opløfte sin Haand eller sin Fod i hele Ægyptens Land.
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.
Og Farao kaldte Josefs Navn Zafnath Panea og gav ham Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, til Hustru; saa drog Josef ud over Ægyptens Land.
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.
Og Josef var tredive Aar gammel, der han stod for Farao, Kongen i Ægypten; og Josef gik ud fra Farao og rejste igennem hele Ægyptens Land.
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
Og Landet bar i Hobetal i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
48 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.
Og han samlede al Spise i de syv Aar, som vare i Ægyptens Land, og lagde Spise i Stæderne; hvad der voksede paa Markerne omkring hver Stad til Spise, det lagde han derudi.
49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
Saa samlede Josef Korn som Havets Sand, overmaade meget, indtil han lod af at tælle; thi der var ikke Tal derpaa.
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.
Og før Hungerens Aar kom, blev der født Josef to Sønner, hvilke Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, fødte ham.
51 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.”
Og Josef kaldte den førstefødtes Navn Manasse; „thi Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og alt min Faders Hus‟.
52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Og den andens Navn kaldte han Efraim; „thi Gud har gjort mig frugtbar i min Elendigheds Land‟.
53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Og de syv Overflødigheds Aar endte, som vare i Ægyptens Land.
54 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.
Og de syv Hungerens Aar begyndte at komme, som Josef havde sagt, og der var Hunger i alle Landene, men der var Brød i det hele Ægyptens Land.
55 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.”
Der hele Ægyptens Land led Hunger, da raabte Folket til Farao om Brød; men Farao sagde til alle Ægyptere: Gaar til Josef, hvad han siger eder, skulle I gøre.
56 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.
Der Hungeren var i hele Landet, da oplod Josef alle Steder, hvor noget var, og solgte Ægypterne Korn; thi Hungeren tog Overhaand i Ægyptens Land.
57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Og fra alle Lande kom man til Ægypten for at købe hos Josef; thi Hungeren var meget svar i alle Lande.
