Genesisy 41
1 Ary rehefa afaka roa taona mipaka, dia nanonofy Farao, fa, indro, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily izy.
After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
2 Koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy niakatra avy teo Neily ka nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata.
Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
3 Ary indreo, nisy ombivavy fito hafa kosa ratsy tarehy sady mahia niakatra avy teo Neily nanaraka azy, ka dia nijanona teo anilan’ ireo ombivavy teo amoron’ i Neily.
Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
4 Ary ireo ombivavy ratsy tarehy sady mahia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito tsara tarehy sady matavy. Dia nahatsiaro Farao.
And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
5 Ary natory indray izy ka nanonofy fanindroany; ary, indro, nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara.
He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
6 Ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito maivam-boa sady main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny.
Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
7 Ary ny salohim-bary maivam-boa nitelina ny salohim-vary fito vokatra sy be voa. Dia nahatsiaro Farao, koa indro fa nofy ihany izany.
And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
8 Ary nony maraina, dia nitebiteby ny fanahiny, ka dia naniraka nampaka ny ombiasy rehetra tao Egypta sy ny olon-kendry rehetra tao izy; ary nambaran’ i Farao tamin’ ireny ny nofiny, kanjo tsy nisy na dia iray aza nahalaza izay heviny tamin’ i Farao.
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
9 Dia niteny tamin’ i Farao ilay lehiben’ ny mpitondra kapoaka ka nanao hoe: Tsaroako izao ny fahadisoako:
Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
10 Farao dia tezitra tamin’ ny mpanompony ka nanao ahy tao an-trano-maizina tao anatin’ ny tranon’ ny mpifehy ny mpiambina, dia izaho sy ilay lehiben’ ny mpanao mofo.
The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
11 Ary nanonofy izahay indray alina, dia izaho sy izy; samy nanonofy araka ny hevitry ny nofinay avy izahay.
Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
12 Ary tao aminay dia nisy zatovo Hebreo anankiray, mpanompon’ ny mpifehy ny mpiambina; dia nambaranay taminy ny nofinay, ka nolazainy taminay ny heviny; samy nilazany araka ny nofinay avy izahay.
There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
13 Ary samy tonga araka izay efa nolazainy taminay indrindra izany: izaho nampodiny ho ao amin’ ilay nipetrahako, fa izy kosa nahantony.
And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
14 Dia naniraka Farao ka nampaka an’ i Josefa, dia nalaina faingana niala tao an-davaka izy; ary nanaratra ny volom-bavany sy niova fitafiana izy, dia nankany amin’ i Farao.
Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
15 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Nanonofy aho, koa tsy misy mahalaza ny heviny; ary izaho nahare fa ianao, hono, raha mandre nofy, dia mahalaza ny heviny.
And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
16 Ary Josefa dia namaly an’ i Farao ka nanao hoe: Tsy ahy izany; Andriamanitra no hilaza izay valiny hiadanan’ i Farao.
Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
17 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Nofiko fa indro, hono, nitsangana teo amoron’ i Neily aho;
So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
18 koa, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito matavy sady tsara tarehy niakatra avy teo Neily; ary nihinana teny amin’ ny bararata ireny.
And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
19 Ary, indreo, nisy ombivavy fito hafa koa niakatra nanaraka ireny, mihozohozo sady ratsy tarehy indrindra no mahia, ka tsy mbola hitako izay ratsy toa azy teto amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
20 Ary ireo ombivavy fito mahia sady ratsy tarehy dia nihinana ireo ombivavy fito matavy izay nialoha azy.
And they devoured and consumed the former,
21 Ary rehefa nihinana azy izy, dia tsy fantatra akory fa efa mby ao an-kibony ireny; fa mbola ratsy tarehy tahaka ny tamin’ ny fahiny ihany izy. Dia nahatsiaro aho.
And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
22 Ary hitako tamin’ ny nofiko indray, ka, indreo nisy salohim-bary fito niseho tamin’ ny tahony iray, sady vokatra no tsara;
And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
23 ary, indreo kosa, nisy salohim-bary fito sady malazo no maivam-boa, main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, niseho nanaraka ireny;
Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
24 ary ny salohim-bary maivam-boa dia nitelina ny salohim-bary fito vokatra. Ary nolazaiko tamin’ ny ombiasy izany, nefa tsy nisy nahalaza ny heviny tamiko.
And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
25 Ary hoy Josefa tamin’ i Farao: Ny nofin’ i Farao dia iray ihany; izay efa hataon’ Andriamanitra no nambarany tamin’ i Farao.
Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
26 Ny ombivavy fito tsara tarehy dia fito taona; ary ny salohim-bary fito vokatra koa dia fito taona; iray ihany ny nofy.
The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
27 Ary ny ombivavy fito mahia sady ratsy tarehy, izay niakatra nanaraka ireny, dia fito taona; ary ny salohim-bary fito tsy nisy voa sady main’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana, dia ho fito taona mosarena.
And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
28 Izany dia ilay efa nolazaiko tamin’ i Farao teo hoe: Izay efa hataon’ Andriamanitra no asehony amin’ i Farao.
Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
29 Indro, hisy fito taona zina indrindra eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra;
Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
30 ary manaraka izany kosa dia hisy fito taona mosarena, ka ho hadino ny fahavokarana be rehetra teo amin’ ny tany Egypta ary ho ritry ny mosary ny tany;
After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
31 ary ny fahavokarana eo amin’ ny tany tsy ho fantatra noho izany mosary manaraka azy izany; fa ho mafy indrindra izany.
And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
32 Ary naverina indroa ny nofin’ i Farao, satria efa voatendrin’ Andriamanitra izany zavatra izany ka hotanterahin’ Andriamanitra faingana.
And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
33 Koa ankehitriny aoka Farao hizaha lehilahy manan-tsaina sady hendry ka hanendry azy hanapaka ny tany Egypta.
Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
34 Aoka hanao izany Farao, ary aoka izy hanendry mpikarakara hitandrina ny tany sy hamory ny ampahadimin’ ny vokatry ny tany Egypta amin’ ny taon-jina fito.
That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
35 Ary aoka izy ireo hanangona ny hanina rehetra amin’ ireo taona tsara ho avy ireo ka hamory vary be amin’ ny anaran’ i Farao ho fihinana any amin’ ny tanana maro, ka aoka hitahiry izany izy
That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
36 Ary aoka izany hanina izany hotehirizina ao amin’ ny tany ho amin’ ny fito taona mosarena, izay ho tonga amin’ ny tany Egypta, mba tsy ho simban’ ny mosary ny tany.
And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
37 Ary sitrak’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony rehetra izany hevitra izany.
The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
38 Dia hoy Farao tamin’ ny mpanompony: Hahita lehilahy tahaka io, izay manana ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ao anatiny, va isika?
And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
39 Ary hoy koa Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Satria efa nampahafantarin’ Andriamanitra anao izany rehetra izany, dia tsy misy lehilahy manan-tsaina sady hendry tahaka anao;
He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
40 koa ianao no hanapaka ny ato an-tranoko, ary araka ny teninao no hitondrana ny oloko rehetra; ny seza fiandrianana ihany no hahalehibe ahy noho ianao.
Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
41 Ary hoy indray Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Indro, efa nanendry anao hanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra aho.
And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
42 Dia nesorin’ i Farao ny peratra tamin’ ny tanany ka nataony tamin’ ny tànan’ i Josefa, dia nampitafiny rongony fotsy madinika izy, ary nasiany rojo volamena ny vozony;
And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
43 dia nampitaingeniny teo anatin’ ny kalesiny faharoa izy, ary ny vahoaka niantso teo alohany nanao hoe: Mandohaleha; ary notendreny ho mpanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra izy.
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
44 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Izaho no Farao, ary raha tsy teninao, dia tsy hisy olona hanetsika ny tànany na ny tongony eto amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 Ary nataon’ i Farao hoe Zafenata-panea no anaran’ i Josefa; dia nomeny azy Asenata, zanakavavin’ i Poti-fera, mpisorona tao Ona, ho vadiny. Ary Josefa nandeha nitety ny tany Egypta.
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
46 Ary efa telo-polo taona Josefa, raha niseho teo anatrehan’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta. Dia niala teo anatrehan’ i Farao Josefa ka nandeha nitety ny tany Egypta rehetra.
(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
47 Ary ny tany dia nahavokatra tsy omby fàmpana tamin’ ny taon-jina fito.
And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
48 Dia namory ny hanina rehetra tamin’ izany fito taona izany teo amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ka nitahiry izany tao amin’ ny tanàna rehetra: ny vokatry ny saha manodidina ny isan-tanàna dia notehiriziny tao anatin’ ny tanàna.
And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
49 Ary Josefa namory vary tahaka ny fasika any an-dranomasina, eny, be indrindra, ka tsy nanisa intsony izy, satria efa tsy hita isa.
And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
50 Ary nisy zazalahy roa naterak’ i Asenata, zanakavavin’ i Poti-fera, mpisorona tao Ona, tamin’ i Josefa, raha tsy mbola tonga ny taona mosarena.
And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
51 Ary ny anaran’ ny lahimatoa dia nataon’ i Josefa hoe Manase; fa hoy izy: Andriamanitra efa nampanadino ahy ny fahoriako rehetra sy izay rehetra tao an-tranon’ ny raiko.
And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
52 Ary ny anaran’ ny zandriny kosa nataony hoe Efraima; fa hoy izy: Andriamanitra efa nahamaro ahy teto amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahoriako.
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
53 Ary tapitra ny taon-jina fito teo amin’ ny tany Egypta;
Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
54 dia niandoha kosa ny fito taona mosarena, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Josefa; ary nisy mosary tany amin’ ny tany rehetra; nefa eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra dia mbola nisy hanina ihany.
The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
55 Ary rehefa mosarena ny tany Egypta rehetra, dia nitaraina nangataka hanina tamin’ i Farao ny olona; ary hoy Farao tamin’ ny Egyptiana rehetra: Mankanesa any amin’ i Josefa; ary izay holazainy aminareo dia ataovy.
And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
56 Ary ny mosary dia tany amin’ ny tany rehetra. Ary Josefa namoha ny trano fitehirizam-bary ka nivaro-bary tamin’ ny Egyptiana.
And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
57 Ary ny tany rehetra nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Josefa mba hividy vary; fa efa mafy ny mosary tany amin’ ny tany rehetra.
And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
