Ebandeli 41
1 Sima na mibu mibale, Faraon alotaki ndoto: atelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili,
And it comes to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and behold, he is standing by the River,
2 amonaki bangombe sambo ya basi, ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Bangombe yango ebimaki wuta na ebale mpe ezalaki kolia matiti pembeni ya ebale Nili.
and behold, from the River coming up are seven cows, of beautiful appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;
3 Sima na yango, bangombe mosusu sambo ya basi, ya mabe mpe ekonda, ebimaki wuta na ebale, etelemaki pembeni ya bangombe ya basi oyo ezalaki pembeni ya ebale Nili.
and behold, seven other cows are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the cows on the edge of the River,
4 Bangombe sambo ya basi ya mabe mpe ekonda eliaki bangombe sambo ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Kaka na tango yango, Faraon alamukaki.
and the cows of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven cows of beautiful appearance, and fat—and Pharaoh awakens.
5 Alalaki lisusu mpe alotaki ndoto ya mibale: nzete moko ya ble ebimisaki mito sambo ya ble, ya minene mpe ya kitoko.
And he sleeps, and dreams a second time, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,
6 Mito mosusu sambo ya ble, ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este, ebimaki sima na oyo ya minene.
and behold, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
7 Mito sambo oyo ekonda eliaki mito sambo oyo ya minene mpe etonda. Kaka na tango yango, Faraon alamukaki, asosolaki ete ezali ndoto.
and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears—and Pharaoh awakens, and behold, a dream.
8 Na tongo, lokola molimo na ye etungisamaki, abengaki bato nyonso ya soloka mpe ya bwanya ya Ejipito. Faraon ayebisaki bango ndoto na ye, kasi ata moto moko te akokaki kolimbolela ye yango.
And it comes to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sends and calls all the enchanters of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounts to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.
9 Kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi alobaki na Faraon: « Na mokolo ya lelo, nalingi kokanisa mbeba na ngai.
And the chief of the butlers speaks with Pharaoh, saying, “I mention my sin this day:
10 Mokolo moko, Faraon asilikelaki basali na ye mpe atiaki ngai na boloko elongo na kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi.
Pharaoh has been angry against his servants, and puts me in confinement in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;
11 Biso mibale tolotaki bandoto na butu moko: ndoto na ndoto ezalaki na ndimbola na yango.
and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed.
12 Kuna, tozalaki na elenge mobali moko, azali Mo-Ebre mpe mosali ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi. Toyebisaki ye bandoto na biso mpe alimbolaki yango mpo na biso, apesaki moto na moto ndimbola ya ndoto na ye.
And there [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interprets to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream has he interpreted,
13 Makambo nyonso esalemaki ndenge kaka alimbolelaki biso yango. Ngai nazongelaki misala na ngai; mpe moninga mosusu, badiembikaki ye. »
and it comes to pass, as he has interpreted to us so it has been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.”
14 Faraon abengaki Jozefi, mpe babimisaki ye na lombangu na boloko. Bakataki ye suki, alataki bilamba mosusu mpe ayaki liboso ya Faraon.
And Pharaoh sends and calls Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaves, and changes his garments, and comes to Pharaoh.
15 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Nalotaki ndoto mpe ata moto moko te alongi kolimbola yango; kasi nayoki sango na tina na yo ete soki oyoki ndoto, okolimbola yango.
And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it, and I have heard concerning you, saying, You understand a dream to interpret it,”
16 Jozefi azongiselaki Faraon: — Ngai nakolonga te kosala yango, kasi Nzambe akopesa na Faraon eyano oyo azali na yango posa.
and Joseph answers Pharaoh, saying, “Without me—God answers Pharaoh with peace.”
17 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Na ndoto na ngai, natelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili.
And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph: “In my dream, behold, I am standing by the edge of the River,
18 Namonaki bangombe sambo ya basi, ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta. Bangombe yango ebimaki wuta na ebale mpe ezalaki kolia matiti pembeni ya ebale Nili.
and behold, out of the River coming up are seven cows, fat [in] flesh, and of beautiful form, and they feed among the reeds;
19 Sima na yango, bangombe mosusu sambo ya basi ebimaki: ya mike, ya mabe penza mpe ekonda; nanu natikala komona te bangombe ya ndenge wana na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
and behold, seven other cows are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 Ngombe ya basi ekonda mpe ya mabe eliaki bangombe sambo ya mafuta oyo ebimaki liboso.
And the lean and the bad cows eat up the first seven fat cows,
21 Bongo ekotaki na mabumu na yango kasi ezalaki komonana te ete bangombe ya mafuta ekoti na mabumu ya bangombe ekonda, mpe lolenge na yango ezalaki kaka mabe lokola ndenge ezalaki liboso. Kaka na tango yango, nalamukaki.
and they come in to their midst, and it has not been known that they have come in to their midst, and their appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake.
22 Na ndoto na ngai mosusu, namonaki mito sambo ya ble ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta kobima na nzete moko.
And I see in my dream, and behold, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;
23 Sima na yango, mito sambo mosusu ya ble ebimaki. Ezalaki ya kokawuka, ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este.
and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
24 Mito sambo ya ble oyo ekonda emelaki mito sambo ya ble oyo ya malamu. Nayebisaki yango epai ya bato ya soloka kasi ata moto moko te akokaki kolimbolela ngai yango.
and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell [it] to the enchanters, and there is none declaring [it] to me.”
25 Jozefi alobaki na Faraon: — Ndoto ya Faraon ezali kaka ndoto moko mpe ezali kaka na ndimbola moko. Nzambe amonisaki Faraon makambo oyo Ye akosala.
And Joseph says to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he has declared to Pharaoh;
26 Bangombe sambo ya basi ya kitoko ezali mibu sambo, mpe mito sambo ya ble ezali mibu sambo: ezali kaka ndoto moko.
the seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;
27 Bangombe sambo ya basi ekonda mpe ya mabe oyo ebimaki sima na oyo ya mafuta mpe ya kitoko, ezali mibu sambo; mpe mito sambo ya ble oyo ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este ezali mibu sambo ya nzala makasi.
and the seven thin and bad cows which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;
28 Tala maloba oyo nazalaki na yango mpo na koyebisa Faraon. Nzambe atalisi na Faraon makambo oyo Ye akosala.
this [is] the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is doing.
29 Mibu sambo ya bofuluki ekoya na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
Behold, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,
30 Kasi mibu sambo ya nzala makasi ekolanda yango; boye bakobosana bofuluki nyonso ya mokili ya Ejipito mpo ete nzala makasi yango ekokawusa mokili.
and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine has finished the land,
31 Bakokanisa lisusu te bofuluki nyonso ya mokili likolo ya nzala makasi oyo ekolanda, pamba te nzala ekozala makasi penza.
and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterward, for it [is] very grievous.
32 Soki Faraon alotaki ndoto yango na lolenge mibale, elingi koloba ete Nzambe asilaki kozwa mokano na likambo yango mpe akokokisa yango na lombangu.
And because of the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hurrying to do it.
33 Tika sik’oyo Faraon aluka moto moko ya mayele mpe ya bwanya, atia ye na moto ya mokili ya Ejipito.
And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;
34 Tika ete Faraon asala bongo; tika ete apona basali na mokili, ba-oyo bakokongola eteni ya mitano ya bambuma ya Ejipito na tango ya mibu sambo ya bofuluki.
let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,
35 Boye, na se ya bokonzi ya Faraon, bakobanda kosangisa biloko nyonso ya kolia oyo mibu ya malamu ekobimisa, bakobomba ble na bingumba mpe bakobatela yango lokola biloko ya kolia mpo na bingumba.
and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up grain under the hand of Pharaoh—food in the cities; and they have kept [it],
36 Bakobatela biloko yango mpo na mokili, mpo na mibu sambo ya nzala makasi oyo ekozala na mokili ya Ejipito; na bongo nzala makasi ekobebisa mokili te.
and the food has been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.”
37 Likambo yango esepelisaki Faraon mpe basali na ye nyonso.
And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,
38 Faraon atunaki bango: — Tokoki komona moto lokola oyo, moto oyo Molimo na Nzambe avandi kati na ye?
and Pharaoh says to his servants, “Do we find like this, a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?”
39 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Lokola Nzambe ayebisi yo makambo oyo nyonso, ezali na moto moko te oyo azali na mayele mpe na bwanya lokola yo.
And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “After God’s causing you to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as you;
40 Okozala mokonzi ya ndako na ngai mpe bato na ngai nyonso bakobanda kotosa mitindo na yo. Kaka kiti ya bokonzi nde ekosala ete ngai nazala na likolo na yo.
you are over my house, and at your mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than you.”
41 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Natie yo mokonzi ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Faraon alongolaki lopete na ye na mosapi na ye mpe atiaki yango na mosapi ya Jozefi. Alatisaki ye bilamba ya lino ya kitoko mpe atiaki ye singa ya wolo na kingo.
And Pharaoh turns aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and puts it on the hand of Joseph, and clothes him [with] garments of fine linen, and places a chain of gold on his neck,
43 Amatisaki ye na shareti na ye ya mibale mpe bato bazalaki koganga: « Bofukama! » Boye, atiaki Jozefi mokonzi ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
and causes him to ride in the second chariot which he has, and they proclaim before him, “Bow the knee!” And [he] set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Faraon alobaki lisusu na Jozefi: — Nazali Faraon. Kasi awa na Ejipito, moto moko te akotombola loboko to lokolo soki kaka na mitindo na yo te.
And Pharaoh says to Joseph, “I [am] Pharaoh, and without you a man does not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt”;
45 Faraon apesaki Jozefi kombo « Tsafinati-Paenea, » mpe apesaki ye Asinati, mwana mwasi ya Poti-Fera, nganga-nzambe ya Oni, mpo ete azala mwasi na ye. Jozefi atambolaki na mokili ya Ejipito.
and Pharaoh calls Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he gives to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goes out over the land of Egypt.
46 Azalaki na mibu tuku misato ya mbotama tango akotaki na mosala ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito. Jozefi alongwaki na miso ya Faraon mpe atambolaki na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goes out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passes over through all the land of Egypt;
47 Na mibu sambo ya bofuluki, mabele ebotaki mingi.
and the land makes in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.
48 Jozefi asangisaki biloko nyonso ya kolia oyo ebotaki na mibu yango sambo ya bofuluki kati na Ejipito mpe abombaki yango kati na engumba. Na engumba moko na moko, atiaki biloko ya kolia oyo ewutaki na bilanga oyo ezalaki zingazinga na yango.
And he gathers all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and puts food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] around [each] city has he put in its midst;
49 Jozefi abombaki ble ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ezalaki mingi koleka; yango wana bakataki kotanga, pamba te bakokaki kotanga yango lisusu te.
and Joseph gathers grain as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until he has ceased to number, for there is no number.
50 Liboso ete mibu ya nzala makasi eya, Asinati, mwana mwasi ya Poti-Fera, nganga-nzambe ya Oni, abotelaki Jozefi bana mibali mibale.
And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine comes, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, has borne to him,
51 Jozefi apesaki mwana na ye ya liboso kombo « Manase, » pamba te amilobelaki: « Nzambe asali ete nabosana pasi na ngai nyonso mpe bokabwani na ngai na libota mobimba ya tata na ngai. »
and Joseph calls the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me to forget all my labor, and all the house of my father”;
52 Apesaki mwana na ye ya mibale kombo « Efrayimi, » pamba te amilobelaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai mabota na mokili epai wapi namonaki pasi. »
and the name of the second he has called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Mibu sambo ya bofuluki oyo ezalaki na Ejipito ekomaki na suka,
And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,
54 mpe mibu sambo ya nzala makasi ebandaki, ndenge kaka Jozefi alobaki. Nzala makasi ekotaki na mikili nyonso, kasi na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito biloko ya kolia ezangaki te.
and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt has been bread;
55 Tango bato nyonso ya Ejipito bakomaki na nzala makasi, bagangaki epai ya Faraon mpo na koluka biloko ya kolia. Bongo Faraon alobaki na bato nyonso ya Ejipito: « Bokende epai ya Jozefi mpe bosala makambo oyo akoyebisa bino. »
and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people cry to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh says to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; that which he says to you—do.”
56 Tango nzala ekotaki na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito, Jozefi afungolaki ndako oyo batiaki biloko mpe atekaki ble epai ya bato ya Ejipito; kasi nzala makasi ekobaki kaka.
And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph opens all [places] which have [grain] in them, and sells to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,
57 Mikili nyonso ezalaki koya na Ejipito mpo na kosomba ble epai ya Jozefi mpo ete nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili mobimba.
and all the earth has come to Egypt, to buy, to Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
