< Jenesis 41 >
1 O ruo mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, Fero rọrọ nrọ hụ onwe ya ka o guzo nʼakụkụ mmiri Naịl.
And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer,
2 Nʼebe ahụ, ọ hụrụ ehi asaa ndị si nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ehi ndị a buru ibu, maa mma. Ahụ ha na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ. Ha pụtara, bido ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe:
3 Nʼatụfughị oge, ehi asaa ọzọ soro ha nʼazụ sikwa nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ma ehi ndị a tara ahụ nke ukwuu. Ha bụ nnọọ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Ha bịara guzo nʼakụkụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu.
And loe, seuen other kine came vp after the out of the riuer, euill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stoode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer.
4 Mgbe ahụ, ehi ndị a bụ naanị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ bịara richapụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu. Mgbe nke a mere Fero kwolitere.
And the euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke.
5 Emesịa, Fero rahụkwara ụra ọzọ, rọọ nrọ nke ugboro abụọ, hụ ogbe ọka asaa ndị mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ogbe ọka ndị a buru ibu maa ezi mma.
Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly.
6 Emesịa, ọ hụkwara ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ ka ha mịkwara nʼotu ukwu ọka ahụ. Ma ndị a ọ hụrụ kpọnwụsịrị akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ. Ọ bụ ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha kpọnwụọ.
And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
7 Ogbe ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ loro ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu. Fero kwolitere hụ na ihe ndị a bụ nrọ.
And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
8 Mgbe chi bọrọ, o nweghị udo na mmụọ ya. O ziri ozi kpọkọta ndị majiki niile, na ndị ọkachamara niile nke Ijipt. Fero kọọrọ ha ihe ọ rọrọ na nrọ. Ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịkọwara ya ihe nrọ ya pụtara.
Nowe when the morning came, his spirit was troubled: therefore he sent and called all the soothsayers of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh tolde them his dreames: but none coulde interprete them to Pharaoh.
9 Ma nʼoge ahụ, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Taa ka m chetara mmehie m.
Then spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day.
10 Oge ahụ Fero were iwe megide ndị na-ejere ya ozi, o tinyere mụ na onyeisi ndị na-esi nri nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke dị nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche eze bi.
Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
11 Onye ọbụla nʼime anyị abụọ rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị, nrọ ọbụla nwekwara nkọwa nke ya.
Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
12 O nwere nwokorobịa onye Hibru anyị na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼoge ahụ. Ọ bụ ohu onyeisi ndị nche eze. Anyị kọọrọ ya nrọ anyị rọrọ. Ọ kọwakwaara anyị ihe nrọ anyị pụtara nye onye ọbụla nkọwa nke nrọ ya.
And there was with vs a yong man, an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame.
13 Ihe niile mere dịka o si kọwara anyị. E nyeghachiri m ọnọdụ m, ma kwụba onye nke ọzọ nʼosisi.”
And as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him.
14 Ya mere Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Josef. E mere ngwangwa wepụta ya site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Mgbe ọ kpụchara afụọnụ ya, gbanwee uwe ya, ọ bịakwara nʼihu Fero.
Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh.
15 Fero gwara Josef sị, “Arọrọ m nrọ ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ m rọrọ pụtara. Ma anụla m na a kọọrọ gị nrọ a rọrọ, i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe nrọ ahụ pụtara.”
Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.
16 Josef zara sị ya, “Enweghị m ike ịkọwa nrọ nʼike aka m. Ma Chineke ga-enye Fero ọsịsa udo dịka ọ chọrọ.”
And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Fero malitere ịkọwara Josef nrọ ya. O kwuru sị, “Eguzoro m nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl na nrọ m.
And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
18 Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m ehi asaa si na mmiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a mara abụba, ma gbaa agba. Ha bidokwara ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
19 Emesịa, a hụrụ m ehi asaa ọzọ ka ha sikwa nʼosimiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a ejighị ahụ. Ha bụ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Nʼezie, ahụtụbeghị m ụdị ehi dị otu a nʼala Ijipt niile.
Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.
20 Ehi asaa ndị a jọrọ njọ riri ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu, bụ ndị bu ha ụzọ si nʼosimiri ahụ pụta.
And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
21 Ma mgbe ha risiri ehi ndị a, nri ahụ emeghị ka ụdịdị ha gbanwee. Ha dịkwa otu ha dị. Mgbe m hụsịrị ihe a, etetara m nʼụra.
And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake.
22 “Mgbe m rọrọ nrọ ọzọ, a hụrụ m ogbe ọka asaa nke mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ọka asaa ndị a buru ibu, dị mma ile anya.
Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
23 Ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ mịkwara nʼelu ukwu ọka ahụ, ma ndị a kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ nʼihi nʼikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ chakpọrọ ha.
And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
24 Ma ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ lodara ọka asaa ndị ahụ mara mma. Akọọlara m ndị majiki ihe ndị a, ma ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ ndị a pụtara.”
And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.
25 Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị Fero, “Nrọ abụọ Fero rọrọ pụtara otu ihe. Chineke esitela na nrọ ndị a gwa Fero ihe ọ na-aga ime.
Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
26 Ehi asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụ afọ asaa. Ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụkwa afọ asaa. Ọ bụ otu nrọ ahụ, ọ bụ ezie na ị rọrọ ya ugboro abụọ.
The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
27 Ehi asaa ndị ọzọ ahụ dị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ ndị pụtara mgbe ndị nke mbụ pụtachara bụ afọ asaa. Otu a kwa ogbe ọka ndị ọzọ fịkpọrọ afịkpọ nke ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha fịkpọọ bụ afọ asaa. Ha na-egosi afọ asaa mgbe oke ụnwụ ga-adị.
Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine.
28 “Dịka m gwara Fero na mbụ, Chineke egosila gị ihe ọ chọrọ ime.
This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
29 Afọ asaa na-abịa ga-abụ afọ asaa mgbe nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt niile.
Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
30 Emesịa afọ asaa oke ụnwụ ga-eso ha. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-echefu ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ụnwụ a ga-ala obodo nʼiyi.
Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land:
31 Agaghị echetakwa na e nwere oge ịba ụba ihe oriri nʼala a, nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ nke ga-eso ya ga-adị oke ukwuu.
Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
32 Ihe mere Fero ji rọọ nrọ a ugboro abụọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke ekpebiela na ihe ndị a ga-emezuriri. Chineke ga-emekwa ya nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it.
33 “Ma ugbu a, ka Fero chọọ onye nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe. Ya mee ya onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala Ijipt niile.
Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.
34 Ka Fero mee nhọpụta ndị nlekọta ala Ijipt. Ka e debe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke nri niile a ga-enweta nʼoge ahụ nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt.
Let Pharaoh make and appoynt officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeeres.
35 Ka ha kpokọtaa nri niile ga-adị nʼoge ịba ụba nke ihe oriri, nke ga-adị nʼafọ ndị a na-abịa. Ka ha kpokọta ha nʼụlọ ichebe nri nke ga-adị nʼokpuru ọchịchị Fero. Ka ọ bụrụ nri e debere nʼobodo dị iche iche.
Also let them gather all the foode of these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the cities, and let them keepe it.
36 A ga-echebe nri ndị a nke ọma maka ndị bi nʼala a, ka ọ bụrụ nri a ga-eri nʼime afọ asaa ndị ahụ nke ụnwụ ga-adị nʼala Ijipt, ka ụnwụ ghara ibibi ala a.”
So the foode shall be for the prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of Egypt, that the land perish not by famine.
37 Ntụpụta ahụ dị mma nʼanya Fero na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants.
38 Fero jụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị ya, “Anyị ga-achọtali onye ọzọ dịka nwoke a, onye mmụọ nke Chineke dị nʼime ya?”
Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?
39 Ya mere Fero tụgharịrị sị Josef, “Ebe Chineke kpugheere gị ihe ndị a, o nweghị onye ọzọ nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe dịka gị.
The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee.
40 Gị onwe gị ga-abụ onye na-elekọta ụlọeze m. Ndị m niile ga-erube isi nʼiwu ọbụla i nyere. Ọ bụ naanị nʼocheeze ka m ga-eji dị ukwuu karịa gị.”
Thou shalt be ouer mine house, and at thy word shall all my people be armed, onely in the kings throne will I be aboue thee.
41 Fero gwara Josef, “Lee, emeela m gị onye nlekọta ala Ijipt niile.”
Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
42 Mgbe ahụ, Fero gbapụtara mgbaaka eze ya gbanye ya Josef nʼaka. O yikwasịkwara Josef uwe e ji ezi akwa ọcha duo, nyanye ya ihe ịnya nʼolu nke e ji ọlaedo kpụọ.
And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke.
43 O mere ka ọ nyaa ịnyịnya ụgbọ ya nke abụọ. Ndị oti mkpu na-etikwa nʼihu ya, “Gbuonụ ikpere nʼala.” Otu a ka Fero si mee Josef onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
So he set him vpon the best charet that hee had, saue one: and they cryed before him, Abrech, and placed him ouer all the land of Egypt.
44 Fero gwakwara Josef sị, “Ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Fero! O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ewelita aka maọbụ ụkwụ ya nʼala Ijipt niile ma ọ bụghị site nʼike i nyere ya.”
Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of Egypt.
45 Fero gụrụ Josef aha Zafenat-Pania. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya, Asenat, nwa Pọtifera, onye nchụaja obodo a na-akpọ On, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Josef bịara gazuo ala Ijipt.
And Pharaoh called Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt.
46 Josef gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe o bidoro iguzo nʼihu Fero eze Ijipt. O si nʼihu Fero pụọ, malite ijegharị ebe niile nʼala Ijipt.
And Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Nʼafọ asaa ahụ nke a na-eriju afọ, ala mepụtara nri nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.
And in the seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store.
48 Nʼime afọ asaa ndị a nke nri juru ebe niile nʼIjipt, Josef chịkọtara nri niile nke si nʼubi, ma chekwaa ha nʼụlọ e wuru maka iche nri nʼobodo niile ahụ. Nʼobodo ọbụla, ka ọ na-etinye ihe oriri nke si nʼubi gbara ya gburugburu.
And hee gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same.
49 Josef chekwara ọka dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. A kwụsịrị ịgụ ha ọnụ nʼihi na ha hiri nne nke ukwuu nke na ha enweghị ọnụọgụgụ.
So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number.
50 Tupu oge ụnwụ ahụ ebido, Asenat nwa nwanyị Pọtifera, onye nchụaja nke On, mụtara Josef ụmụ ndị ikom abụọ.
Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him.
51 Josef gụrụ ọkpara ya Manase, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Chineke emeela ka m chefuo ahụhụ m niile, mekwa ka m chefuo ndị ezinaụlọ nna m.”
And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold.
52 Josef gụrụ nwa ya nke abụọ Ifrem. Ọ sịrị, “Nʼihi na Chineke emeela ka m mịa mkpụrụ nʼala nke ahụhụ m.”
Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
53 Afọ asaa nke ụba nri nke dịrị nʼala Ijipt mechara gabiga.
So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
54 Afọ asaa nke ụnwụ bidoro bịawa dịka Josef kwuru. Ụnwụ nọ nʼobodo niile, ma nʼala Ijipt niile nri dị.
Then began the seuen yeeres of famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the land of Egypt was bread.
55 Ka agụ jidere ala Ijipt niile, ndị mmadụ tikuru Fero ka o nye ha nri. Ma Fero gwara ndị Ijipt niile, “Jekwurunụ Josef. Ihe ọbụla ọ gwara unu meenụ ya.”
At the length all the lande of Egypt was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said vnto all the Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye.
56 Mgbe ụnwụ ahụ gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, Josef meghepụrụ ụlọ ichebe nri niile bido iresi ndị Ijipt nri, nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
When the famine was vpon all the land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 Mba niile bịara Ijipt ịzụ nri site nʼaka Josef nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼụwa niile.
And all countries came to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.
