Kenehi 41
1 A, ka taka nga tau e rua, ka moe a Parao: na, i te taha ia o te awa e tu ana.
And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
2 Na, ko te putanga ake o nga kau e whitu i roto i te awa, he ahua pai, e whai kiko ana; a ka kai ratou i roto i nga wiwi.
and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
3 Na, ko te putanga ake ano o etahi kau e whitu i muri i a ratou i roto i te awa, he ahua kino, he kikokore: a tu ana ratou i te taha o era kau i te pareparenga o te awa.
And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
4 Na ka kainga e nga kau ahua kino, kikokore, nga kau ahua pai e whitu, nga mea momona. A ka ara ake a Parao.
Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 A ka parangia ano ia, na, ko te rua o ana moe: na, ko te putanga ake o nga puku witi e whitu, kotahi ano hoki te kakau, he mea whai kiko, he pai.
And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
6 Na, ko nga puku e whitu e tupu ake ana i muri i era, he mea kikokore, he mea ngingio i te marangai.
and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
7 A horomia ake nga puku whai kiko e whitu, nga mea whai kai, e nga puku kikokore e whitu. Ko te aranga ake o Parao, na, he moe!
Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
8 A, i te ata, na, ka pororaru tona wairua; a ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i nga tohunga maori katoa o Ihipa, me nga mea mohio katoa o reira: a korerotia atu ana tana moe e Parao ki a ratou: otiia kihai i taea e tetahi te whakaatu i te tikanga o aua moe ki a Parao.
And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
9 Na ka korero te tino kaiwhakainu ki a Parao, ka mea, Katahi ahau ka mahara ki oku he.
Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
10 I riri mai a Parao ki ana pononga, a i tuku i ahau kia puritia ki roto ki te whare o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ahau me te tino kaihanga taro.
Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
11 A ka moe maua i tetahi moe i te po kotahi, ahau, a ia hoki; i moe maua, ahau, a ia, me te tikanga ano o a maua moe.
Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
12 Na i reira i a maua tetahi taitama Hiperu, he pononga na te rangatria o nga kaitiaki; a ka korerotia e maua ki a ia, a whakaaturia mai ana e ia te tikanga o a maua moe ki a maua; rite tonu tana whakaaturanga ki ta tera moe, ki taku.
And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
13 A tika tonu tana i whakaatu ai ki a maua: ko ahau i whakahokia e ia ki taku mahi, ko tera i taronatia.
And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
14 Na ka tono tangata a Parao, hei karanga i a Hohepa, a ka hohoro ratou te mau mai i a ia i roto i te whare herehere: na ka heu ia i a ia, ka tango i etahi kakahu ke mona, a haere ana ki a Parao.
Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, I moe ahau i tetahi moe, a kahore he tangata hei whakaatu i tona tikanga: na kua tae mai tou rongo ki ahau, e korerotia ana ki te rongo koe i te moe ka taea e koe te whakaatu tona tikanga.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
16 Na ka whakahoki a Hohepa ki a Parao, ka mea, Ehara i ahau: ma te Atua e whakahoki te kupu pai ki a Parao.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
17 Na ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, I ahau e moe ana, na, e tu ana ahau i te pareparenga o te awa:
Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
18 Na, ka puta ake i te awa nga kau e whitu, he mea whai kiko, he ahua pai; a ka kai ratou i roto i nga wiwi:
When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
19 Na, ko te putanga ake o etahi atu kau e whitu i muri i era, he hiroki, he ahua kino noa iho, he kikokore, kahore ahau i kite i to ratou rite te kino i te whenua katoa o Ihipa;
And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
20 Na ka kainga nga kau e whitu o mua, nga mea momona, e nga kau kiroki, e nga mea kino:
Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
21 A, i to ratou toremitanga ki roto i a ratou, e kore e mohiotia kua toremi ratou ki roto i a ratou; he mau tonu hoki to ratou ahua kino, he pera me to te timatanga. Na ka ara ahau.
and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 Na i kite ano ahau i ahau e moe ana, ko nga puku witi e whitu e tupu ake ana i te kakau kotahi, he mea whai kai, he mea pai:
Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
23 Na ko nga puku e whitu, he mea taramore, he mea kikokore, i ngingio nei i te marangai, e tupu ake ana i muri i aua puku;
And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
24 A horomia ake nga puku papai e whitu e nga puku kikokore: na ka korerotia e ahau ki nga tohunga maori; a kahore tetahi hei whakaatu ki ahau.
Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
25 Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a Parao, Ko te moe a Parao kotahi tonu: e whakaaturia ana e te Atua ki a Parao nga mea e meatia ana e ia.
Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
26 Ko nga kau pai e whitu, e whitu nga tau; ko nga puku pai ano e whitu, e whitu nga tau: kotahi ano te moe.
The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
27 A ko nga kau hiroki e whitu, ko nga mea kino i puta ake ra i muri i a ratou, e whitu ena nga tau; a ko nga puku witi e whitu, ko nga mea i ngingio i te marangai, e whitu ena nga tau matekai.
And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
28 Ko te mea tena i korerotia e ahau ki a Parao: ko ta te Atua e mea ai e whakakitea ana e ia ki a Parao.
The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
29 Nana, e whitu nga tau e haere mai nei e nui ai te hua o te whenua katoa o Ihipa:
Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
30 A e whitu nga tau matekai e ara ake i muri i era; a ka wareware katoa te hua i te whenua o Ihipa; a ka ngaro te whenua i te matekai;
Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
31 A e kore taua hua e mohiotia e te whenua, i taua matekai hoki o muri; no te mea he tino nanakia.
neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
32 A, i tuaruatia ai te moe a Parao, he mea pumau na te Atua, ka hohoro ano te meatia e te Atua.
And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
33 Na reira, me titiro e Parao tetahi tangata mihio, whai whakaaro, kia tukua e ia nga tikanga o te whenua o Ihipa ki a ia.
Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Kia meatia tenei e Parao, kia whakaritea hoki e ia etahi kaitirotiro mo te whenua, a kia tangohia e ia te rima o nga wahi o te whenua o Ihipa i nga tau hua e whitu.
Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
35 Kia kohia hoki nga kai katoa o enei tau pai e haere ake nei, kia amitia mai hoki he witi ki raro i te ringa o Parao, kia tohungia ano hoki he kai i roto i nga pa.
And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
36 Na ka pae taua kai ma te whenua mo nga tau matekai e whitu e puta mai ana ki te whenua o Ihipa; e kore ai e ngaro te whenua i te matekai.
So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
37 A he pai taua mea ki te titiro a Parao ki te titiro hoki a ana tangata katoa.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
38 Na ka mea a Parao ki ana tangata, E kitea ranei e tatou he penei, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua o te Atua?
and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
39 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Na, kua whakakitea nei e te Atua enei mea katoa ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata hei rite mou, te mohio, te whai whakaaro:
So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
40 Ko koe hei rangatira mo toku whare, a ma tau kupu toku iwi katoa e tohutohu; ko te torona anake te mea e nui ake ai ahau i a koe.
Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
41 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Titiro, kua waiho nei koe e ahau hei rangatira mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 Na ka tangohia e Parao tona mowhiti i tona ringa, a kuhua ana e ia ki te ringa o Hohepa, i whakakakahuria hoki ia e ia ki nga kakahu rinena pai, a whakaheia ana he hei koura ki tona kaki:
So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
43 I whakaekea ano ia e ia ki runga ki te tuarua o ona hariata; a ka karangatia e ratou i mua i a ia, Kia piko te turi: ka waiho ia e ia hei rangatira mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
44 I mea ano a Parao ki a Hohepa, Ko Parao ahau, a ki te kahore koe, e kore e ara ake te ringa, te waewae ranei o tetahi i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 Na ka huaina e Parao te ingoa o Hohepa ko Tawhanatapaneaha; a i homai ano e ia hei wahine mana, a Ahenata, tamahine a Potiwhera, tohunga o Ono. Na ka haere a Hohepa a puta noa i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
46 E toru tekau nga tau o Hohepa i tona turanga i te aroaro o Parao, o te kingi o Ihipa. Na ka puta atu a Hohepa i te aroaro o Parao, a ka haere a puta noa i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
47 A, i nga tau hua e whitu, me te mea he aohanga na te ringa te hua o te whenua.
And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
48 Na ka kohia e ia nga kai katoa o nga tau e whitu i puta ki te whenua o Ihipa, a rongoatia ana te kai ki nga pa: ko te kai o te mara i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o te pa, i rongoatia e ia ki taua pa ano.
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
49 Heoi amitia ana e Hohepa he witi, me te mea ko te onepu o te moana, he hira whakaharahara; a whakarerea noatia iho e ia te tatau: kahore hoki i taea te tatau.
Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
50 Na ka whanau nga tama tokorua a Hohepa, i te mea kahore ano kia puta noa nga tau matekai, i whanau hoki i a raua ko Ahenata tamahine a Potiwhera tohunga o Ono.
Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
51 A i huaina e Hohepa te ingoa o te matamua ko Manahi: No te mea, e ki ana ia, kua meinga ahau e te Atua kia wareware ki taku mahi nui katoa, ki te whare katoa ano hoki o toku papa.
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
52 A i huaina e ia te ingoa o te tuarua ko Eparaima: Moku hoki i meinga e te Atua kia hua ki te whenua o toku tangihanga.
And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
53 Na ka taka nga tau hua e whitu i puta mai ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.
Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
54 A ka timata nga tau matekai e whitu te puta ake, ka pera hoki me ta Hohepa i korero ai: a i nga whenua katoa te matekai; ko te whenua katoa ia o Ihipa i whai taro.
and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
55 Na, i te matenga o te whenua katoa o Ihipa i te kai, ka tangi te iwi ki a Parao ki te taro ma ratou: a ka mea a Parao ki nga Ihipiana katoa, Haere ki a Hohepa; me mea e koutou tana e mea ai ki a koutou.
Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
56 Na i runga i te mata katoa o te whenua te matekai: a ka wahia e Hohepa nga toa katoa, a hokona ana e ia ki nga Ihipiana; he nanakia hoki te matekai i te whenua o Ihipa.
Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
57 A ka haere nga whenua katoa ki Ihipa, ki a Hohepa, ki te hoko witi; no te mea he nui rawa te matekai o nga whenua katoa.
All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
