< Genesis 41 >
1 Post duos annos vidit Pharao somnium. Putabat se stare super fluvium,
Mfeɛ mmienu akyiri no, Farao soo daeɛ bi. Na ɔgyina Asubɔnten Nil ho.
2 de quo ascendebant septem boves, pulchræ et crassæ nimis: et pascebantur in locis palustribus.
Ɔhunuu wɔ daeɛ no mu sɛ, anantwie nson a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ, na wɔn ho tua wɔn firii asubɔnten no mu baeɛ bɛwee ɛserɛ a na ɛwɔ hɔ.
3 Aliæ quoque septem emergebant de flumine, fœdæ confectæque macie: et pascebantur in ipsa amnis ripa in locis virentibus:
Anantwie akɛseɛ nson no akyiri no, anantwie nson foforɔ a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ kanyakanya firii Asubɔnten Nil mu ba bɛgyinaa anantwie a wɔadodɔ sradeɛ no ho wɔ asuo no konkɔn so.
4 devoraveruntque eas, quarum mira species et habitudo corporum erat. Expergefactus Pharao,
Anantwie nson a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ kanyakanya no memenee anantwie nson a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ no! Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na Farao bɔɔ pitiri nyaneeɛ!
5 rursum dormivit, et vidit alterum somnium: septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque formosæ:
Yei akyiri, nna faa Farao bio ma ɔsane soo daeɛ foforɔ. Ɔhunuu wɔ daeɛ no mu sɛ, ɛmo asiaka nson a ɛwɔ ahoɔden na ɛyɛ fɛ aso wɔ ɛmo nan baako so.
6 aliæ quoque totidem spicæ tenues, et percussæ uredine oriebantur,
Akyiri no prɛko pɛ, siaka nson bi soo wɔ nan no ho. Apueeɛ mframa bɔɔ no ma ɛtwintwamee.
7 devorantes omnium priorum pulchritudinem. Evigilans Pharao post quietem,
Ɛmo ntweantweaa no memenee ɛmo a ɛwɔ ahoɔden na ɛyɛ fɛ no. Farao sane nyanee bio, hunuu sɛ, sɛɛ na nneɛma a ɔhunuiɛ no nyinaa yɛ daeɛ.
8 et facto mane, pavore perterritus, misit ad omnes conjectores Ægypti, cunctosque sapientes, et accersitis narravit somnium, nec erat qui interpretaretur.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nʼadwenem yɛɛ no basaa. Enti, Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ nkonyaayifoɔ ne anyansafoɔ a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa baa ne fie. Farao kaa daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn, nanso wɔn mu biara antumi ankyerɛ aseɛ.
9 Tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister, ait: Confiteor peccatum meum:
Ɛhɔ na Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no ka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na saa asɛm yi ama makae me mfomsoɔ bi a mayɛ.
10 iratus rex servis suis, me et magistrum pistorum retrudi jussit in carcerem principis militum:
Mmerɛ bi a atwam no, wo Farao bo fuu wʼasomfoɔ yie. Ɛnam so maa wode me ne wo burodotofoɔ panin kɔtoo afiase wɔ dabehene fie.
11 ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium præsagum futurorum.
Yɛn baanu nyinaa soo daeɛ anadwo korɔ no ara a na ɛsono sɛdeɛ yɛn mu biara daeɛ no si teɛ.
12 Erat ibi puer hebræus, ejusdem ducis militum famulus: cui narrantes somnia,
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Hebrini aberantewaa bi a na ɔyɛ dabehene Potifar ɔsomfoɔ ka yɛn ho wɔ afiase hɔ. Yɛkaa yɛn daeɛ a yɛsosoeɛ no kyerɛɛ no no, ɔkyerɛɛ yɛn mu biara daeɛ ase, kyerɛɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 audivimus quidquid postea rei probavit eventus; ego enim redditus sum officio meo, et ille suspensus est in cruce.
Na sɛdeɛ ɔsi fa kyerɛɛ yɛn daeɛ no ase no baa mu saa pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mesane kɔdii me dibea, ɛnna burodotofoɔ panin no, wɔsɛn no.”
14 Protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Joseph totonderunt: ac veste mutata obtulerunt ei.
Amonom hɔ ara, Farao soma ma wɔkɔyii Yosef firii afiase hɔ baeɛ. Ɔfiri afiase hɔ baeɛ no, ɔyii nʼabɔgyesɛ, sesaa nʼatadeɛ, baa Farao anim.
15 Cui ille ait: Vidi somnia, nec est qui edisserat: quæ audivi te sapientissime conjicere.
Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Maso daeɛ bi a obiara ntumi nkyerɛ aseɛ. Nanso, mate sɛ wo deɛ, sɛ obi ka ne daeɛ kyerɛ wo a, wotumi kyerɛ aseɛ. Ɛno enti na masoma abɛfrɛ wo yi.”
16 Respondit Joseph: Absque me Deus respondebit prospera Pharaoni.
Yosef buaa Farao sɛ, “Me ara merentumi mfiri me tumi mu nkyerɛ daeɛ no ase. Onyankopɔn na ɔbɛkyerɛ wo daeɛ no ase.”
17 Narravit ergo Pharao quod viderat: Putabam me stare super ripam fluminis,
Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me daeɛ no mu, na megyina Asubɔnten Nil konkɔn so.
18 et septem boves de amne conscendere, pulchras nimis, et obesis carnibus: quæ in pastu paludis virecta carpebant.
Mehunuu wɔ daeɛ no mu sɛ, anantwie nson a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ, na wɔn ho tua wɔn firii asubɔnten no mu baeɛ bɛnantee wira no mu, hyɛɛ aseɛ wee serɛ.
19 Et ecce, has sequebantur aliæ septem boves, in tantum deformes et macilentæ, ut numquam tales in terra Ægypti viderim:
Anantwie akɛseɛ nson no akyiri no, anantwie nson foforɔ a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ kanyakanya firii Asubɔnten Nil mu ba bɛgyinaa anantwie a wɔadodɔ sradeɛ no ho wɔ asuo no konkɔn so. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔwoo me, menhunuu anantwie a wɔn ho yɛ tan saa da wɔ Misraim asase yi so.
20 quæ, devoratis et consumptis prioribus,
Anantwie nson a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ kanyakanya no memenee anantwie nson a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ na wɔn ho tua wɔn a wɔdii ɛkan baeɛ no!
21 nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium: sed simili macie et squalore torpebant. Evigilans, rursus sopore depressus,
Nanso wɔmemenee wɔn nyinaa akyiri no, na sɛdeɛ wɔte ara na wɔte, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn ho da so yɛ tan kanyakanya no ara. Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na mebɔɔ pitiri nyaneeɛ.
22 vidi somnium. Septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque pulcherrimæ.
“Mesane soo daeɛ bio hunuu sɛ, ɛmo siaka nson a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛwɔ ahoɔden sɛ aso wɔ ɛmo nan baako so.
23 Aliæ quoque septem tenues et percussæ uredine, oriebantur e stipula:
Yeinom akyiri no, ɛmo asiaka nson bi a apueeɛ mframa abɔ no, ama akusa, ayeyɛ ntweantweaa soo wɔ ɛmo nan no so.
24 quæ priorum pulchritudinem devoraverunt. Narravi conjectoribus somnium, et nemo est qui edisserat.
Ɛmo ntweantweaa no memenee ɛmo nson a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛwɔ ahoɔden no. Mekaa me daeɛ no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nkonyaayifoɔ no, wɔn mu biara antumi ankyerɛ me aseɛ.”
25 Respondit Joseph: Somnium regis unum est: quæ facturus est Deus, ostendit Pharaoni.
Ɛnna Yosef ka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Wo daeɛ mmienu a wososoeɛ no nyinaa nkyerɛaseɛ yɛ pɛ. Onyankopɔn nam wo daeɛ no so, reda biribi a ɔrebɛma asi wɔ Misraim asase so no adi akyerɛ wo.
26 Septem boves pulchræ, et septem spicæ plenæ, septem ubertatis anni sunt: eamdemque vim somnii comprehendunt.
Anantwie nson a wɔadodɔre sradeɛ no ne ɛmo siaka nson a ɛyɛ fɛ, na ɛwɔ ahoɔden no nso, ase kyerɛ sɛ, mfeɛ nson a ɛdi anim a ɛreba no bɛyɛ mfeɛ pa ama ɔman no.
27 Septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentæ, quæ ascenderunt post eas, et septem spicæ tenues, et vento urente percussæ, septem anni venturæ sunt famis.
Anantwie nson a wɔafonfɔn, na wɔayeyɛ kanyakanya no ne ɛmo siaka nson a akusa ayeyɛ ntweantweaa no nso kyerɛ sɛ, mfeɛ pa nson no akyiri no, ɛkɔm bɛba mfeɛ nson.
28 Qui hoc ordine complebuntur:
“Enti, Onyankopɔn akyerɛ wo deɛ ɔrebɛyɛ.
29 ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnæ in universa terra Ægypti,
Mfeɛ nson a ɛdi ɛkan no, aduane bɛbu wɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa.
30 quos sequentur septem anni alii tantæ sterilitatis, ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia: consumptura est enim fames omnem terram,
Nanso, akyire no, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bi bɛba mfeɛ nson, ama nnipa werɛ afiri asetena pa a wɔnyaa no mfeɛ nson a ɛdi ɛkan no mu no. Ɛkɔm bɛmene asase no.
31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura est inopiæ magnitudo.
Esiane ɛkɔm a ɛbɛdi mmerɛ pa a atwam no akyiri no ano den a ɛbɛyɛ no enti, saa ɛberɛ no, wɔrenkae mmerɛ pa no bio wɔ asase no so.
32 Quod autem vidisti secundo ad eamdem rem pertinens somnium: firmitatis indicium est, eo quod fiat sermo Dei, et velocius impleatur.
Saa daeɛ mmienu a wosoeɛ no kyerɛ sɛdeɛ ɛkɔm no ano bɛyɛ den afa. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, asɛm a maka akyerɛ wo no bɛba mu saa pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn na wasi gyinaeɛ pi saa. Na ɛrenkyɛre koraa, ɛbɛba mu saa.
33 Nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium, et præficiat eum terræ Ægypti:
“Enti, mʼafotuo ne sɛ, hwehwɛ onyansafoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔwɔ nhunumu wɔ Misraim asase yi so, na fa ɔman yi mu kuadwuma ho asɛm nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
34 qui constituat præpositos per cunctas regiones: et quintam partem fructuum per septem annos fertilitatis,
Ma ɔhene Farao nyiyi nnipa, ntuatua amansini ahodoɔ enum no ano. Na saa nnipa a wɔde wɔn bɛtuatua amansini no ano no nyiyi nnɔbaeɛ a ɛbɛba mmerɛ pa mfeɛ nson no mu no nkyɛmu enum mu baako, mfa nsie.
35 qui jam nunc futuri sunt, congreget in horrea: et omne frumentum sub Pharaonis potestate condatur, serveturque in urbibus.
Ɛsɛ sɛ saa nnipa a wɔtuatua amansini no ano no boaboa nnuane a wɔbɛgyegye mmerɛ pa mfeɛ nson a nnuane bɛbu no, de gu asan so wɔ ɔhene Farao edin mu. Wɔmfa saa nnuane no nhyehyɛ asan so wɔ nkuro akɛseɛ mu.
36 Et præparetur futuræ septem annorum fami, quæ oppressura est Ægyptum, et non consumetur terra inopia.
Nnuane yi na mfeɛ nson a ɛkɔm bɛba Misraim asase so no, ɔmanfoɔ no bɛdi. Saa nnuane yi na wɔde bɛsie ama ɔman no. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ, ɛkɔm bɛbɔ ɔman no.”
37 Placuit Pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris ejus:
Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ no gyee asɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no nyinaa too mu.
38 locutusque est ad eos: Num invenire poterimus talem virum, qui spiritu Dei plenus sit?
Ɛberɛ a wɔredwennwene onipa ko a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa adwuma kɛseɛ yi hyɛ ne nsa no ho no, Farao bisaa sɛ, “Hwan koraa na ɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma kɛseɛ a ɛte sɛɛ yi asene Yosef? Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ onipa bi a, akwan nyinaa mu, ɛda adi pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn honhom ahyɛ no ma.”
39 Dixit ergo ad Joseph: Quia ostendit tibi Deus omnia quæ locutus es, numquid sapientiorem et consimilem tui invenire potero?
Afei, Farao danee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Onyankopɔn ayi saa daeɛ yi ne nʼasekyerɛ akyerɛ wo yi, hwan bio na ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ a ɔwɔ nhunumu sene wo wɔ Misraim ɔman yi mu!
40 Tu eris super domum meam, et ad tui oris imperium cunctus populus obediet: uno tantum regni solio te præcedam.
Ɛnnɛ, mede saa adwuma kɛseɛ yi nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Asɛm biara a wobɛka afa saa adwuma yi ho no, obiara nni ho asɛm ka wɔ Misraim nyinaa. Mʼahennwa a me Farao, mete so no nko ara na ɛma meyɛ kɛse sene wo.”
41 Dixitque rursus Pharao ad Joseph: Ecce, constitui te super universam terram Ægypti.
Enti, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ de rekorɔ, mede Misraim asase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.”
42 Tulitque annulum de manu sua, et dedit eum in manu ejus: vestivitque eum stola byssina, et collo torquem auream circumposuit.
Afei, Farao worɔɔ ne nsɔano kawa de hyɛɛ Yosef nsa. Ɔde serekye batakari papa bi hyɛɛ Yosef, de sika ntweaban yan no.
43 Fecitque eum ascendere super currum suum secundum, clamante præcone, ut omnes coram eo genu flecterent, et præpositum esse scirent universæ terræ Ægypti.
Ɔmaa Yosef teaseɛnam tenaa mu sɛ nʼabadiakyire. Baabiara a Yosef bɛkɔ no, na nnipa di nʼanim teateaam sɛ, “monkoto no!” Saa ɛkwan yi so na ɔhene Farao fa de Misraim asase nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa.
44 Dixit quoque rex ad Joseph: Ego sum Pharao: absque tuo imperio non movebit quisquam manum aut pedem in omni terra Ægypti.
Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Mene Farao Misraimhene deɛ, nanso obiara ntumi mfiri wʼakyi nyɛ biribiara wɔ Misraiman yi mu baabiara, gye sɛ woama ho kwan ansa.”
45 Vertitque nomen ejus, et vocavit eum, lingua ægyptiaca, Salvatorem mundi. Deditque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. Egressus est itaque Joseph ad terram Ægypti
Farao maa Yosef ahene din sɛ Safnat-Panea. Farao maa Yosef ɔbaa nso wareeɛ. Na ababaawa no din de Asnat a ɔyɛ ɔbosom On kɔmfoɔ Potifera babaa. Ɛnam yei so maa Yosef nyaa tumi maa ne din hyetaa Misraim asase so nyinaa.
46 (triginta autem annorum erat quando stetit in conspectu regis Pharaonis), et circuivit omnes regiones Ægypti.
Ɛberɛ a Yosef kɔɔ ɔhene Farao adwa ase no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa. Farao maa Yosef ɛkwan ma ɔbɔɔ aporɔ faa Misraim asase so nyinaa.
47 Venitque fertilitas septem annorum: et in manipulos redactæ segetes congregatæ sunt in horrea Ægypti.
Mfeɛ nson a ɛdi ɛkan no mu no, aduane buu so wɔ Misraim asase so yie.
48 Omnis etiam frugum abundantia in singulis urbibus condita est.
Saa mfeɛ nson no mu no, Yosef boaboaa nnuane a ɛbuu so wɔ Misraiman mu no ano kɔkoraa no wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ Misraim no mu. Aduane biara a wɔnya firii kuro biara mu no bi no, wɔde sie wɔ hɔ.
49 Tantaque fuit abundantia tritici, ut arenæ maris coæquaretur, et copia mensuram excederet.
Mfeɛ nson akyiri no, na Yosef akora nnuane wɔ nnuanekorabea hɔ, ama abu so ara kɔsii sɛ, afei na obiara mmu ho nkonta bio.
50 Nati sunt autem Joseph filii duo antequam veniret fames: quos peperit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos.
Ansa na ɛkɔm kɛseɛ no rebɛba no, na Yosef yere Asnat, a ɔyɛ ɔbosom On kɔmfoɔ Potifera babaa no, awo mmammarima baanu.
51 Vocavitque nomen primogeniti Manasses, dicens: Oblivisci me fecit Deus omnium laborum meorum, et domus patris mei.
Yosef too nʼabakan no edin Manase, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn ama me werɛ afiri mʼamanehunu ne mʼagya fie nyinaa.
52 Nomen quoque secundi appellavit Ephraim, dicens: Crescere me fecit Deus in terra paupertatis meæ.
Yosef babarima a ɔtɔ so mmienu no nso, wɔtoo no edin Efraim, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn ama mʼase afɛe wɔ asase a mebaa so sɛ akoa no so.
53 Igitur transactis septem ubertatis annis, qui fuerant in Ægypto,
Afei, mfeɛ nson a aduane buu so wɔ Misraim asase so no twaam.
54 cœperunt venire septem anni inopiæ, quos prædixerat Joseph: et in universo orbe fames prævaluit, in cuncta autem terra Ægypti panis erat.
Sɛdeɛ Yosef hyɛɛ nkɔm no, ɛkɔm a ɛbɛba mfeɛ nson a ɛdi so no hyɛɛ aseɛ. Ɛkɔm kɛseɛ sii nsase a na atwa Misraim ho ahyia no nyinaa so, nanso Misraim asase ankasa so deɛ, na aduane abu so.
55 Qua esuriente, clamavit populus ad Pharaonem, alimenta petens. Quibus ille respondit: Ite ad Joseph: et quidquid ipse vobis dixerit, facite.
Ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm no sii dendeenden wɔ Misraim asase so no, ɔmanfoɔ no su frɛɛ Farao. Farao ka kyerɛɛ Misraimfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, “Monkɔ Yosef nkyɛn, na biribiara a ɔbɛka akyerɛ mo sɛ monyɛ no, monyɛ.”
56 Crescebat autem quotidie fames in omni terra: aperuitque Joseph universa horrea, et vendebat Ægyptiis: nam et illos oppresserat fames.
Ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm kɛseɛ no trɛtrɛɛ ɔman no nyinaa mu no, Yosef buebuee ne nnuane korabea no nyinaa ano, tɔnee aburoo maa Misraimfoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛkɔm no ano yɛ den yie ma wɔn.
57 Omnesque provinciæ veniebant in Ægyptum, ut emerent escas, et malum inopiæ temperarent.
Enti, na aman a atwa Misraim ho ahyia no nyinaa kɔtɔ aduane wɔ Yosef nkyɛn wɔ Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛkɔm a aba no ano yɛ den yie.
