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 at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by 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 out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.
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 behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine 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 kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh 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 slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat 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 parched with the east wind, sprung 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 thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, 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 came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.
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.
Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.
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.
Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.
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 dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of 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 Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.
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, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he 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.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.
16 Joseph te reponn Farawon. Li te di: “Sa pa nan mwen, men Bondye va bay Farawon yon repons favorab.”
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 Alò, Farawon te pale avèk Joseph: “Nan rèv mwen an, men gade, mwen te kanpe arebò Rivyè Nil lan.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on 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 behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.
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 kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed — such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 Epi bèf mèg ak lèd yo te manje premye sèt bèf gra yo.
And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;
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 came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.
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 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
23 Epi gade, sèt tèt sèch yo, ki brile pa van lès yo te vin pouse apre yo.
And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after 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 thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known 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 Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
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 fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream 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 lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.
28 “Se tankou mwen te pale a Farawon: “Bondye te montre Farawon kisa ki prèt pou rive.
This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.
29 Gade byen, sèt ane ak gran abondans yo ap vini nan peyi Égypte la.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout 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.
And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away 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 will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will 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 as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.
33 “Alò, Farawon gen pou chèche yon nonm avèk konprann ak sajès, pou mete li responsab sou peyi Égypte la.
And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, 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.
Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of 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 coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].
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 let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.
37 Alò, plan sa a te parèt bon a Farawon, ak tout sèvitè li yo.
And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.
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 Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.
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.”
Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 Farawon te di a Joseph: “Ou wè, mwen plase ou sou tout peyi Égypte la.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee 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 Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on 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 caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in 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 Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
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 Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.
47 Pandan sèt ane abondans yo, peyi a te pwodwi anpil.
And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.
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 up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were 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 laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
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 year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On 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 Manasseh — For God has made me forget all my toil, 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 the name of the second he called Ephraim — For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 Sèt ane abondans ki te nan peyi Égypte la te fin pase.
And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;
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 the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; 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 suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.
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 all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.
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 into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.
