Ebandeli 41
1 Sima na mibu mibale, Faraon alotaki ndoto: atelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili,
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood 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, there came up out of the river seven well-favored cows and fat-fleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
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 came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed; and stood by the [other] cows upon the brink 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 ill-favored and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven well-favored and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 Alalaki lisusu mpe alotaki ndoto ya mibale: nzete moko ya ble ebimisaki mito sambo ya ble, ya minene mpe ya kitoko.
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
6 Mito mosusu sambo ya ble, ekonda mpe ezika na mopepe ya este, ebimaki sima na oyo ya minene.
And behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung 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 seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, [it was] 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 came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none that could interpret 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.
Then spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults 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 was wroth with his servants, and put me in custody in the captain of the guard's house, [both] me, and the chief baker:
11 Biso mibale tolotaki bandoto na butu moko: ndoto na ndoto ezalaki na ndimbola na yango.
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he: we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
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 was] there with us a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
13 Makambo nyonso esalemaki ndenge kaka alimbolelaki biso yango. Ngai nazongelaki misala na ngai; mpe moninga mosusu, badiembikaki ye. »
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: me he restored to my office, 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.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and changed his raiment, and came before 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 said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] none that can interpret it: and I have heard it said of thee, [that] thou canst 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 answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Na ndoto na ngai, natelemaki pembeni ya ebale Nili.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank 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, there came out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed, and well-favored; and they fed in a meadow:
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 came out after them, poor, and very ill-favored, and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw 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 ill-favored cows ate 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 when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 Na ndoto na ngai mosusu, namonaki mito sambo ya ble ya kitoko mpe ya mafuta kobima na nzete moko.
And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came 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, [and] blasted with the east wind, sprung 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 devoured the seven good ears: and I told [this] to the magicians; but [there was] none that could explain [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 said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one; God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.
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 ill-favored cows that came up after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind will be 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: What God [is] about to do he showeth to Pharaoh.
29 Mibu sambo ya bofuluki ekoya na mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout 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 there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume 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 shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following: for it [will be] 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 for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; [it is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Tika sik’oyo Faraon aluka moto moko ya mayele mpe ya bwanya, atia ye na moto ya mokili ya Ejipito.
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet 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 do [this], and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
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 let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh; and let them keep food in the cities.
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 that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land may not perish through the famine.
37 Likambo yango esepelisaki Faraon mpe basali na ye nyonso.
And the thing was 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 said to his servants, Can we find [such a man] as this [is], 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 said to Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]:
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.
Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Natie yo mokonzi ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee 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 took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about 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 he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had: and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him [ruler] 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 said to Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or 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 called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him for a wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On: and Joseph went over [all] 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 [was] thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Na mibu sambo ya bofuluki, mabele ebotaki mingi.
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfulls.
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 gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field which [was] around every city, he laid up in the same.
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 gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without 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 years of famine came: which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bore 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 called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
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 called he Ephraim: for God hath 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 plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
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 dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was 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 when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he saith 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 was over all the face of the earth; and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine became 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 countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy [corn]; because the famine was distressing in all lands.
