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.
It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
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.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
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.
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.
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.
Then the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
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.
Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
6 Epi gade byen, sèt tèt, mèg ki brile pa van lès yo, te vin boujonnen dèyè yo.
Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted 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.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, 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.
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.
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 the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
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 angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
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.
We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man 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.
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.
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.”
It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one 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 for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, 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.”
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.”
16 Joseph te reponn Farawon. Li te di: “Sa pa nan mwen, men Bondye va bay Farawon yon repons favorab.”
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
17 Alò, Farawon te pale avèk Joseph: “Nan rèv mwen an, men gade, mwen te kanpe arebò Rivyè Nil lan.
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
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.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
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.
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.
20 Epi bèf mèg ak lèd yo te manje premye sèt bèf gra yo.
The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat 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.
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.
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.
I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 Epi gade, sèt tèt sèch yo, ki brile pa van lès yo te vin pouse apre yo.
Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang 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.”
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.”
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.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared 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 good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
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.
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.
28 “Se tankou mwen te pale a Farawon: “Bondye te montre Farawon kisa ki prèt pou rive.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
29 Gade byen, sèt ane ak gran abondans yo ap vini nan peyi Égypte la.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout 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.
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.
31 Alò, abondans lan p ap sonje nan peyi a akoz konsekans gwo grangou a, paske li va vrèman rèd.
The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.
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.
That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
33 “Alò, Farawon gen pou chèche yon nonm avèk konprann ak sajès, pou mete li responsab sou peyi Égypte la.
Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put 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 appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant years.
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.
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.
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.”
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.”
37 Alò, plan sa a te parèt bon a Farawon, ak tout sèvitè li yo.
This advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes 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?”
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
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.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as 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 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.”
41 Farawon te di a Joseph: “Ou wè, mwen plase ou sou tout peyi Égypte la.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
47 Pandan sèt ane abondans yo, peyi a te pwodwi anpil.
In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
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.
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.
49 Konsa, Joseph te ranmase sereyal an gran abondans tankou sab lanmè, jiskaske li te vin sispann mezire li, paske li te depase kontwòl.
Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
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.
Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of 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.”
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.”
52 Li te nonmen dezyèm nan Éphraïm, paske li te di: “Bondye fè mwen bay anpil fwi nan peyi afliksyon mwen an.”
He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Sèt ane abondans ki te nan peyi Égypte la te fin pase.
The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
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.
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.
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
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.
All the earth was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
