Genesis 41
1 Tukun yac luo, tokosra lun Egypt el mweme mu el tu sisken Infacl Nile,
After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
2 ac cow na fact ac wo lumah itkosr utyak liki infacl uh ac mutawauk in mongo mah.
when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
3 Na toko cow itkosr utyak pac, su sripisr ac koluk lumah. Elos tuku ac tu sisken cow ngia pe infacl ah,
After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
4 ac cow sripisr ah kangla cow ma fact ah. Na tokosra el asmakla.
And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
5 El sifilpa motulla ac liye sie pac mweme. Ung in wheat itkosr yohk pisa ac wo lumah, fokla ke sropoh sefanna.
but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
6 Na ung itkosr saya srunak pac, masrinwasr ac mihsasa sroa ke sripen engyen ma tuku yen mwesis me.
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
7 Ac ung masrinwasr itkosr ah kangla ung ma yohk pisa ac wo lumah ah. Na tokosra el ngutalik ac akilenak lah el mweme.
And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
8 In lotu tok ah el inse toasr ac fosrnga. Na el sapla solani mwet orek mwenmen ac mwet lalmwetmet nukewa in facl Egypt, ac fahk nu selos mweme lal ah. Tusruktu wangin sie ku in aketeya nu sel kalmac.
In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
9 Na mwet okwok wain sac fahk nu sel tokosra, “Nga ac fahkak misenge lah ma na koluk se nga orala.
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.
10 Kom tuh kasrkusrak sik oayapa sin sifa lun mwet manman flao, ac filikuti in presin, in lohm sin captain lun mwet liyaung mwet kapir.
Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.
11 Sie fong ah kut kewa tuh mweme, ac tia oana sie kalmen mweme lasr uh.
One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
12 Oasr mwet fusr Hebrew se tuh wi kut muta we, su mwet kohs lun leum lun mwet topang inkul sin tokosra. Kut akkalemye mweme lasr uh nu sel, ac el fahkma nu sesr kalmac.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.
13 Ma nukewa tuh sikyak oana ke el fahk nu sesr ah. Kom folokinyuyang nu ke orekma luk, a kom srupusrak mwet manman flao sac.”
And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”
14 Tokosra el sapla solal Joseph, ac utuku el liki presin in kitin pacl ah na. Tukun el resala ac ayaolla, na el tuku nu ye mutal tokosra.
So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.
15 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nga tuh oru mweme se, a wangin sie mwet ku in aketeya. Nga lohng mu kom ku in fahkak kalmen mweme uh.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 Joseph el topuk, “Leum fulat luk, nga tia ku — tusruktu God El ac ase sie kalmac na wowo.”
“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”
17 Tokosra el fahk, “Nga mweme mu nga tu pe Infacl Nile,
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
18 na cow na fact ac wo lumah itkosr utyak liki infacl uh ac mutawauk in kang mah.
when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
19 Na cow itkosr saya utyak pac, a elos sripisr ac koluk lumah. Nga soenna wi liye cow purngus ouinge in kutena acn in Egypt.
After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
20 Cow sripisr inge kangla cow ma fact ah,
Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.
21 tusruktu tia ku in akilenyuk, mweyen elos srakna purngus oana meet ah. Na nga ngutalik.
When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.
22 Nga oayapa mweme mu nga liye ung in wheat itkosr yohk pisa ac wo lumah, fokla ke sropoh sefanna.
In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.
23 Na ung itkosr saya srunak pac, masrinwasr ac mihsasa sroa ke sripen engyen ma tuku yen mwesis me.
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
24 Na ma masrinwasr inge kangla ma wo lumah. Nga tuh fahkak mweme inge nu sin mwet mwenmen, tusruktu wangin sie selos ku in aketeya nu sik kalmac.”
And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”
25 Joseph el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Mweme luo ingan kalmac uh oana sie. God El fahkot nu sin Tokosra ma God El ac oru.
At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.
26 Cow fact itkosr an pa yac itkosr, ac ung in wheat wo lumah itkosr an yac itkosr pac — eltal kalmac sefanna.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.
27 Cow sripisr itkosr ma tuku tok, ac ung in wheat masrinwasr itkosr ma mihsasa sroa ke engyen yen mwesis uh, pa yac in sracl itkosr.
Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
28 Oana ke nga fahk nu sin Tokosra, God El akkalemyeot ma El ac fah oru.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
29 Ac fah oasr yac itkosr ma acn nukewa in facl Egypt ac fah mut ac pukanten mongo.
Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
30 Tukun pacl sac, yac in sracl itkosr ac fah tuku, na ac fah tia esamyuk yac wowo inge, mweyen sracl lulap sac ac akkolukyela facl se inge nufon.
but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.
31 Pacl in mut lulap sac ac fah tiana esamyuk, mweyen sracl se ma ac sikyak toko uh ac arulana upa.
The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.
32 Kalmen kalweniyuk mweme inge pa wotla tari sin God lah ma inge ac fah sikyak ke pacl na fototo.
Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.
33 “Ke ma inge Tokosra enenu in sulala sie mwet na lalmwetmet ac pah in nunak, ac sang elan liyaung facl se inge nufon.
Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Enenu Tokosra in srisrngiya pac kutu mwet kol in eisani sie tafu limekosr ke ma mwet uh kosrani ke yac in mut itkosr ah.
Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35 Sapkin nu selos in orani mongo nukewa ke yac wo ac mut ekasr fahsru inge, ac sang ku nu selos in orani wheat nu in nien filma in siti uh, ac karinganang.
Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.
36 Mwe mongo ingan ac fah sie mwe tweng nu sin acn se inge ke yac in sracl itkosr ma ac tuku nu fin acn Egypt. Ma inge fin orek, mwet uh ac tia masrinsral.”
This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”
37 Tokosra ac mwet kacto lal elos akkeyala lemlem se inge,
This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.
38 ac tokosra el fahk nu selos, “Kut ac tia ku in konauk sie mwet su ac wo lukel Joseph — sie mwet su ngun lun God oasr yoro.”
So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”
39 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Joseph, “God El akkalemye ma inge nukewa nu sum. Ke ma inge, kalem lah oasr lalmwetmet ac liyaten yurum liki kutena mwet saya.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 Nga fah filikomi in liyaung facl sik uh, ac mwet nukewa luk ac fah akos sap lom. Wangin sie ac fah fulat liki kom sayuk.
You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 Inge nga srisrngikomi in governor fin facl Egypt nufon.”
Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Tokosra el fwacla ring se ma sroalla sil fulat lal kac liki kufinpaol, ac sang nu ke kufinpaol Joseph. El filiya pac sie nuknuk linen na wowo nu facl, ac sang ah gold soko nu ke kwawal.
Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
43 El sang nu sel chariot lun leum se akluo elan kasrusr fac, ac mwet soan lun tokosra elos kasrusr meet lukel, wowo ac fahk, “Sakunla! Sakunla!” Ouinge Joseph el srisrngiyuki governor fin acn Egypt nufon.
He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Nga pa tokosra uh, ac wangin sie mwet in acn Egypt nufon ac fah oru kutena ma kom fin tia lela.”
And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”
45 Tokosra el sang ine Egypt se lal Joseph, na pangpang el Zaphenath-paneah, ac el eisalang Asenath, acn natul Potiphera mwet tol lun acn On, kial. Ouinge Joseph el wela oaleum fin acn Egypt.
Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph el yac tolngoul ke el mutawauk kulansap lal nu sin Tokosra lun acn Egypt. Ac el illa liki ye mutal tokosra, ac fufahsryesr rauni acn Egypt nufon ke orekma kunal.
Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.
47 Ke lusen yac in mut itkosr ah, acn we kosrani mwe mongo puspis,
During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.
48 su Joseph el eisani ac karingin in siti uh. In kais sie siti el eisani mwe mongo nukewa ma orekeni ke ima in acn we.
During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.
49 Arulana pus wheat ma orekeni uh, pwanang Joseph el tila pauni — ma inge pukanten oana puk wekof uh.
So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.
50 Meet liki yac in sracl uh tuku, Asenath el oswela wen luo nu sel Joseph.
Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
51 Joseph el fahk, “God El oru nga mulkunla keok nukewa luk, ac sou lun papa tumuk nukewa.” Ke ma inge el sang inen wen se meet ah Manasseh.
Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”
52 El oayapa fahk, “God El ase tulik nutik in acn nga ongoiya we.” Ouinge el sang inen wen se akluo ah Ephraim.
And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Yac in mut itkosr fin acn Egypt ah safla,
When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,
54 ac yac in sracl itkosr ah mutawauk, oana ke Joseph el tuh fahk. Facl nukewa saya pulakin sracl lulap sac, a pukanten mwe mongo in acn Egypt.
the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
55 Pacl mwet Egypt elos ac mutawauk in masrinsral, na elos ac pang ac siyukyuk mongo sin tokosra. Na tokosra el ac sap elos in som nu yorol Joseph, ac oru oana ma el fahk.
When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
56 Sracl sac upala nwe apunla facl sac nufon, ouinge Joseph el ikasla iwen fil mongo nukewa ac kukakin wheat uh nu sin mwet Egypt.
When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Mwet uh tuku liki yen nukewa faclu nu Egypt in moul wheat sel Joseph, ke sripen sracl sac arulana upala yen nukewa.
And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
