Jenèz 41
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan lafin dezane, Farawon te fè yon rèv, e gade byen, li te kanpe devan lariviyè Nil lan.
And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
2 Konsa, gade byen, sèt bèf te sòti nan lariviyè Nil lan, byen swa, e byen gra. Yo t ap manje nan zèb flèv la.
And behold, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge.
3 Epi gade byen, sèt lòt bèf te sòti nan lariviyè Nil lan, byen lèd e mèg, e yo te kanpe akote lòt bèf bò kote lariviyè Nil lan.
And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river.
4 Bèf ki te lèd e mèg yo te manje valè sèt bèf ki te swa e byen gra yo. Epi konsa, Farawon te vin leve nan dòmi.
And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
5 Li te tonbe dòmi ankò, e fè rèv yon dezyèm fwa. Konsa, sèt tèt mayi te vini sou yon sèl pye mayi, ki te gwo e bon.
And he dreamt again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
6 Epi gade byen, sèt tèt, mèg ki brile pa van lès yo, te vin boujonnen dèyè yo.
And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
7 Tèt mèg yo te valè sèt tèt ki te gra e byen plen yo. Alò, Farawon te leve, e gade byen, sa se te yon rèv.
And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream.
8 Alò, nan maten lespri li te vin twouble, e li te voye rele tout majisyen an Égypte yo, ak tout moun saj li yo. Konsa, Farawon te eksplike yo rèv li yo, men pa t gen pèsòn ki te kapab entèprete yo pou Farawon.
And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao.
9 Alò, chèf responsab pote manje a te pale a Farawon. Li te di li: “Jodi a, mwen ta dwe admèt yon tò ke m genyen.
And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
10 Farawon te byen fache avèk sèvitè li yo, e li te fè m anprizone lakay Kaptenn kò gad la, mwen menm avèk chèf boulanje a.
Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker.
11 Nou te fè yon rèv nan menm nwit lan, mwen menm ak li menm tou. Nou chak te fè yon rèv ak pwòp entèpretasyon pa li.
And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
12 Alò, te gen yon jennonm ki te la avèk nou, yon sèvitè kaptenn kò gad la, yon Ebre. Nou te pale rèv yo a li menm, e li te entèprete rèv nou yo pou nou. A chak moun li te entèprete selon pwòp rèv pa li.
And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us.
13 Epi jan ke li te entèprete pou nou an, konsa li te vin rive. Mwen menm te vin restore nan pozisyon mwen, e li menm, lòt la, wa a te pann.”
And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged.
14 Alò, Farawon te voye rele Joseph. Avèk vitès, yo te mennen li sòti nan prizon an. Depi li fin taye bab li e chanje rad li, li te vini devan Farawon.
And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao.
15 Farawon te di a Joseph: “Mwen te fè yon rèv, men pa gen pèsòn ki kapab entèprete li. Men mwen tande pale de ou menm ke lè ou tande yon rèv, ou kapab bay entèpretasyon li.”
And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you did hear dreams and interpret them.
16 Joseph te reponn Farawon. Li te di: “Sa pa nan mwen, men Bondye va bay Farawon yon repons favorab.”
And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
17 Alò, Farawon te pale avèk Joseph: “Nan rèv mwen an, men gade, mwen te kanpe arebò Rivyè Nil lan.
And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream I thought I stood by the bank of the river;
18 Epi gade byen, sèt bèf, gra e swa te vin monte sòti nan Nil lan; yo t ap manje nan zèb arebò rivyè a.
and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
19 Epi gade byen, sèt lòt bèf te vin monte apre yo, kata, lèd e mèg, konsa, mwen pa t janm wè youn ki lèd nan tout peyi Égypte la.
And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt.
20 Epi bèf mèg ak lèd yo te manje premye sèt bèf gra yo.
And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
21 E lè yo te fin devore yo, ou pa t kab konnen si yo te manje yo, paske yo te rete mèg menm jan yo te ye avan an. Epi se konsa mwen te vin leve.
And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept,
22 “Mwen te wè nan rèv mwen an tou, byen parèt, se te sèt tèt mayi, plen e bon te vini sou yon sèl pye.
and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
23 Epi gade, sèt tèt sèch yo, ki brile pa van lès yo te vin pouse apre yo.
And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
24 Konsa, tèt sèch yo te valè sèt bon tèt yo. Epi alò, mwen te pale sa a majisyen yo, men pa t gen youn ki ta kapab eksplike m afè sila a.”
And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.
25 Alò, Joseph te di a Farawon: “Rèv a Farawon yo se yon sèl ke yo ye; Bondye te di a Farawon kisa ki prèt pou fèt.
And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shown to Pharao.
26 Sèt bon bèf yo se sèt ane; epi sèt bon tèt yo se sèt ane; rèv sa yo se yon sèl yo ye.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
27 Sèt bèf lèd ak mèg yo ki te sòti apre yo a se sèt ane, e sèt tèt mèg ki brile pa van lès la va sèt ane ak gwo grangou.
And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.
28 “Se tankou mwen te pale a Farawon: “Bondye te montre Farawon kisa ki prèt pou rive.
And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatever God intends to do, he has shown to Pharao:
29 Gade byen, sèt ane ak gran abondans yo ap vini nan peyi Égypte la.
behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
30 Epi apre yo, sèt ane ak gwo grangou yo va vini, tout abondans sa a va gen tan bliye nan peyi Égypte la, e gwo grangou sa a va ravaje peyi a.
But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.
31 Alò, abondans lan p ap sonje nan peyi a akoz konsekans gwo grangou a, paske li va vrèman rèd.
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous.
32 Alò, pou afè repete rèv la de fwa a, li vle di Farawon ke koze sa a deja detèmine pa Bondye, e Bondye va fè l parèt byen vit.
And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.
33 “Alò, Farawon gen pou chèche yon nonm avèk konprann ak sajès, pou mete li responsab sou peyi Égypte la.
Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Kite Farawon aji pou chwazi administratè k ap pran chaj peyi a, e kite yo egzije yon senkyèm nan rekòlt peyi Égypte la, nan sèt ane abondans lan.
And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.
35 Konsa, kite yo ranmase tout manje nan bon ane sa yo k ap vini an, mete yo nan depo pou vil ki anba otorite Farawon yo, e kite yo mete yo anba gad.
And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities.
36 Kite manje yo vini yon rezèv pou peyi a pandan sèt ane gwo grangou yo ki va fèt nan peyi Égypte la, pou peyi a pa peri pandan gwo grangou a.”
And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine.
37 Alò, plan sa a te parèt bon a Farawon, ak tout sèvitè li yo.
And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
38 Alò, Farawon te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou kapab twouve yon lòt moun konsa, nan sila a ki gen Lespri Bondye?”
And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
39 Epi Farawon te di a Joseph: “Akoz Bondye te fè ou konprann tout sa, nanpwen okenn lòt moun ki gen konprann ak sajès tankou ou menm.
And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has showed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than you.
40 Ou va sou tout lakay mwen, e selon lòd pa ou tout pèp mwen an ap fè obeyisans. Se sèl sou twòn nan ke mwen va pi wo pase ou.”
You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel you.
41 Farawon te di a Joseph: “Ou wè, mwen plase ou sou tout peyi Égypte la.”
And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt.
42 Alò, Farawon te retire bag so a nan men li. Li te mete li nan men Joseph, e li te abiye l ak rad len fen ak yon kolye lò nan kou li.
And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck.
43 Li te fè l monte nan dezyèm cha li a, epi li te pwoklame devan li: “Mete ajenou!” Epi li te plase li sou tout peyi Égypte la.
And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Anplis de sa, Farawon te di a Joseph: “Malgre mwen se Farawon, san pèmisyon pa ou, pèsòn p ap leve ni men li ni pye li sou tout peyi Égypte la.”
And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
45 Alò, Farawon te nonmen Joseph Tsaphnath-Paenéach. Li te bay li Asnath, fi a Poti-Phéra a, prèt On an, kòm madanm li. Epi Joseph te plase sou tout peyi Égypte la.
And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
46 Alò, Joseph te gen laj trant ane lè li te kanpe devan Farawon, wa Égypte la. Epi Joseph te sòti nan prezans Farawon, e li te ale toupatou nan tout peyi Égypte la.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt.
47 Pandan sèt ane abondans yo, peyi a te pwodwi anpil.
And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
48 Konsa, Joseph te ranmase tout manje pandan sèt ane sa yo ki te ekoule nan peyi Égypte la, e li te mete manje yo nan vil yo. Li te mete nan chak vil, menm manje ki te sòti nan chan ki antoure li yo.
And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it.
49 Konsa, Joseph te ranmase sereyal an gran abondans tankou sab lanmè, jiskaske li te vin sispann mezire li, paske li te depase kontwòl.
And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it].
50 Alò, avan ane gwo grangou a te rive, de fis te vin ne a Joseph ke Asnath, fi a Poti-Phéra a, prèt On an te fè pou li.
And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.
51 Joseph te nonmen premye ne a Manassé, paske li te di: “Bondye te fè m bliye tout pwoblèm mwen yo ak tout lakay papa m.”
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house.
52 Li te nonmen dezyèm nan Éphraïm, paske li te di: “Bondye fè mwen bay anpil fwi nan peyi afliksyon mwen an.”
And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
53 Sèt ane abondans ki te nan peyi Égypte la te fin pase.
And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
54 Epi sèt ane gwo grangou a te kòmanse, jis jan ke Joseph te di. Alò te vin gen gwo grangou nan tout peyi yo, men nan peyi Égypte la te gen pen.
And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 Lè tout peyi Égypte la te grangou, yo te rele fò a Farawon pou bay pen. Konsa, Farawon te di tout Ejipsyen yo: “Ale wè Joseph. Nenpòt sa li mande nou, nou va fè l.”
And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatever he shall tell you.
56 Gwo grangou a te fin gaye sou tout sifas tè a. Konsa, Joseph te ouvri tout depo yo pou te vann manje bay Ejipsyen yo. Gwo grangou a te byen rèd nan peyi Égypte la.
And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
57 Pèp yo de tout peyi te vini an Égypte pou achte sereyal Joseph yo, akoz gwo grangou a te rèd sou tout tè a.
And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
