Bilowgii 41
1 Markii laba sannadood oo dhammu dhammaatay ayuu Fircoon riyooday, oo wuxuu is-arkay isagoo webiga ag taagan.
Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
2 Oo bal eeg, waxaa webigii ka soo baxay toddoba sac oo quruxsan oo cayillan, oo waxay daaqeen cawskii dareemada ahaa.
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
3 Markaasaa waxaa dabadood webigii ka soo baxay toddoba sac oo kale oo fool xun, oo weyd ahaa, oo waxay is-ag taageen sicihii kale oo webiga qarkiisa jooga.
Soon seven other cows, unhealthy-looking and thin, came up behind them from the Nile [River]. They stood alongside the fat cows that were on the riverbank.
4 Markaasaa sicihii foosha xumaa oo weydda ahaa waxay cuneen toddobadii sac oo qurxoonayd oo cayillanayd. Kolkaasuu Fircoon toosay.
Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
5 Markaasuu haddana seexday oo mar labaad riyooday, oo wuxuu arkay toddoba sabuul oo buurbuuran oo wanaagsan oo ka soo baxay isku jirid.
The king went to sleep again, and he had another dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain that were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and all growing on one stalk.
6 Oo bal eeg, waxaa haddana ka soo daba baxay toddoba sabuul oo xunxun, oo ay dabayshii bari qallajisay.
After that, the king saw that seven other heads of grain sprouted on that (OR, on another) stalk. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
7 Markaasaa sabuulladii xunxumaa waxay liqeen toddobadii sabuul oo buurbuurnayd oo iltirnayd. Markaasuu Fircoon toosay, oo wuxuu arkay inay riyo tahay.
Then the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven ripe full heads. Then the king woke up. He realized that he had been dreaming.
8 Oo subaxdiina wuu dhibaataysnaa, kolkaasuu u cid diray oo uu u wada yeedhay saaxiriintii Masar oo dhan iyo nimankii xigmadda lahaa oo dhan; markaasaa Fircoon u sheegay riyadiisii; laakiin ma jirin mid Fircoon u fasiri karaa.
But the next morning he was worried about the meaning of the dream. So he summoned all the magicians and wise men who lived in Egypt. He told them what he had dreamed, but none of them could tell him the meaning of the two dreams.
9 Markaasaa waxaa Fircoon la hadlay kii madaxa u ahaa kuwa khamriga siin jiray isaga, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Maantaan xusuustay dembiyadaydii.
Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you.
10 Fircoonow, adigoo u cadhaysnaa addoommadaada, waxaad igu xabbistay guriga madaxa waardiyayaasha, oo waxaannu ahayn aniga iyo kii madaxa u ahaa kuwii wax dubi jiray;
One time you were angry with two of us. So you put me and the chief baker in the prison in the house of the captain of the palace guards.
11 oo markaasaannu isku habeen riyoonnay, aniga iyo isagiiba; waxaannu ku riyoonnay midkayo kastaba sidii riyadiisii fasirkeedu ahaa.
While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
12 Oo halkaasna waxaa nala joogay nin dhallinyaro ah oo Cibraani ah, oo madaxa waardiyayaasha addoon u ahaa, markaasaannu isagii u sheegnay, oo isna wuu noo fasiray riyooyinkayagii, nin kastana sidii riyadiisu ahayd buu ugu fasiray.
There was a young Hebrew man there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the palace guards. We told him what we had dreamed, and he told us what our dreams meant. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.
13 Oo sidii uu noogu fasiray ayay noqotay. Aniga waxaa laygu soo celiyey meeshaydii, isagiina waa la deldelay.
And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. [The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph].”
14 Dabadeedna Fircoon baa u cid diray oo u yeedhay Yuusuf. Markaasay dhaqso uga soo bixiyeen godxabsigii; kolkaasuu xiirtay, oo dharkiisii beddeshay, oo uu u soo galay Fircoon.
When the king heard that, he told some servants to bring Joseph to him, and they quickly brought Joseph out of the prison. Joseph shaved and put on better clothes, and then he went and stood in front of the king.
15 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Riyaan ku riyooday, mana jiro mid fasiri karaa; oo waxaan maqlay in markii aad riyo maqashid aad fasiri kartid.
The king said to Joseph, “I had two dreams, and no one can tell me what they mean. But someone told me that when you hear someone tell about a dream he has had, you can tell that person what the dream means.”
16 Yuusufna Fircoon buu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Taasu xaggayga ma aha, laakiinse Ilaah wuxuu Fircoon siin doonaa jawaab nabadeed.
But Joseph replied to the king, “No, I cannot do that. It is God who knows the meaning of dreams, but he will enable me to tell you their meaning, and they will mean something good.”
17 Markaasaa Fircoon Yuusuf la hadlay, oo yidhi, Waxaan riyadaydii ku arkay anigoo webiga qarkiisa taagan;
The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
18 oo bal eeg, waxaa webigii ka soo baxay toddoba sac oo buurbuuran oo quruxsan oo waxay daaqeen cawskii dareemada ahaa;
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
19 oo waxaa haddana ka soo daba baxay toddoba sac oo kale, oo taagdaran oo fool xun oo weyd ah. Weligay dhulka Masar oo dhan kuma aan arag kuwa sidooda u xun.
Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
20 Markaasaa sicihii weydda ahaa oo foosha xumaa waxay cuneen toddobadii sac oo hore.
The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
21 Oo markay cuneen lagama garan karin inay cuneen, laakiinse waxay u fool xumaayeen sidii markii hore. Markaasaan toosay.
But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.
22 Oo waxaan kaloo riyadaydii ku arkay toddoba sabuul oo iltiran oo wanaagsan, oo ka soo baxay isku jirid;
Then I had another dream. I saw seven heads of grain. They were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and they were all growing on one stalk.
23 dabadeedna waxaa ka soo daba baxay toddoba sabuul oo engegan oo xunxun oo dabayshii bari qallajisay.
Then [to my surprise] I saw seven other heads of grain that sprouted. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
24 Markaasaa sabuulladii xunxumaa waxay liqeen toddobadii sabuul oo wanaagsanayd; markaasaan u sheegay saaxiriinta, laakiinse ma uu jirin mid ii sheegi karay.
The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but none of them could explain to me what they meant.”
25 Oo Yuusuf wuxuu ku yidhi Fircoon, Riyadaadu waa mid, oo waxa Ilaah samaynayo ayuu kuu sheegay, Fircoonow.
Then Joseph said to the king, “Both your dreams have the same meaning. God is revealing to you in your dreams what he is about to do.
26 Toddobada sac oo wanwanaagsanu waa toddoba sannadood, toddobada sabuul oo wanwanaagsanuna waa toddoba sannadood; riyadu waa mid.
The seven healthy cows represent seven years. The seven good heads of grain also represent seven years. The two dreams both have the same meaning.
27 Toddobada sac oo weyd ah oo foosha xun, oo ka soo daba baxay waa toddoba sannadood, oo haddana toddobada sabuul oo madhan, oo dabayshii bari qallajisay waxay noqon doonaan toddoba sannadood oo abaar ah.
The seven thin ugly cows that came up behind them and the seven worthless heads of grain that were dried up by the hot east wind each represent seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce).
28 Taasu waa wixii aan kugula hadlay, Fircoonow. Waxa Ilaah samaynayo ayuu ku tusay.
It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
29 Oo bal eeg, waxaa dalka Masar oo dhan imanaya toddoba sannadood oo barwaaqo ah,
There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
30 oo dabadoodna waxaa dhici doona toddoba sannadood oo abaar ah; oo barwaaqadii oo dhanna waa laga illoobi doonaa dalka Masar, markaasay abaartu dhulka dhammayn doontaa,
but after that there will be seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce). Then people will forget all the years when there was plenty of food, because the famine that will come afterward will ruin the country.
31 barwaaqadana dhulka laguma ogaan doono abaartaas ka dambaysa aawadeed, waayo, waxay noqon doontaa mid aad u xun.
The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
32 Oo taas aawadeed riyadii labanlaab bay kuu noqotay, Fircoonow, maxaa yeelay, waxaas waxaa amray Ilaah, oo weliba Ilaah dhowaan buu samayn doonaa.
The reason God gave to you two dreams is that he [wants you to know] that this will happen, and he will cause it to happen very soon.
33 Haddaba Fircoonow, waxaad doontaa nin caqli iyo xigmad leh, oo u sarraysii dalka Masar oo dhan.
“Now I suggest that you should choose a man who is wise and can make good decisions. I suggest that you appoint him to direct the affairs of the whole country.
34 Tan yeel oo waxaad doorataa niman dalka u sarreeya, oo waxa toddobada sannadood oo barwaaqada ah dhulka ka baxa inta shanaad ha ururiyeen.
You should also appoint supervisors over the country, in order that they can arrange to collect one-fifth of all the grain that is harvested during the seven years when food is plentiful.
35 Oo cuntada oo dhan sannadahan wanaagsan oo imanaya ha ururiyeen, hadhuudhkana ha kugu hoos kaydiyeen, Fircoonow, oo intay cunto ahaan magaalooyinka u dhigaan, ha ilaaliyeen.
They should collect this amount of grain during those seven years that are coming, when there will be plenty of food. You should supervise them as they store it in the cities.
36 Cuntaduna kayd bay dalka u noqon doontaa toddobada sannadood oo abaarta ah oo ka dhici doonta dalka Masar, si aan dalku abaarta ugu baabbi'in.
This grain should be stored so that it can be eaten during the seven years when there will be a famine here in Egypt, so that the people in this country will not die from hunger.”
37 Waxaasuna Fircoon way la wanaagsanaayeen, isaga iyo addoommadiisiiba.
The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
38 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Miyaynu heli karaynaa mid la mid ah kan, oo ah nin Ruuxa Ilaah ku jiro?
So the king said to them, “(Can we find any other man like Joseph, a man to whom God has given his Spirit?/It is not likely that we will find another man like this man, one to whom God has given his Spirit!)” [RHQ]
39 Markaasuu Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Mar haddii Ilaah ku tusay waxyaalahan oo dhan, ma jiro mid sidaadoo kale caqli iyo xigmad u leh.
Then the king said to Joseph, “Because God has revealed all this to you, it seems to me that there is no one who is as wise as you and who can decide wisely about things.
40 Adigu waxaad ka sarrayn doontaa gurigayga, dadkayga oo dhanna waxaa lagu xukumi doonaa si waafaqsan hadalkaaga, oo anigu carshiga oo keliya ayaan kaaga weynaan doonaa.
So I will put you in charge of everything in my palace. All the people here in Egypt must obey what you command. Only because I am king [MTY] will I have more authority than you.”
41 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Bal eeg, dalka Masar oo dhan ayaan kaa sarraysiiyey.
Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
42 Markaasuu Fircoon gacantiisa ka bixiyey kaatunkiisii, oo Yuusuf gacanta u geliyey, oo wuxuu u xidhay dhar aad u wanaagsan, silsilad dahab ahna qoortuu u sudhay;
The king took from his finger the ring that had his seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He put robes made of fine linen on him, and he put a gold chain around his neck.
43 oo wuxuu fuushiiyey gaadhifaraskii labaad oo uu lahaa, oo waxay hortiisa kaga qayliyeen, Sujuuda; oo wuxuu ka sarraysiiyey dalka Masar oo dhan.
Then he arranged for Joseph to ride around in the chariot [that showed that he was] the second-most important man in the country. When Joseph rode in the chariot, men shouted to the people who were on the road in front of him, “Get off the road!” So the king put Joseph in charge of everything in the country.
44 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Fircoon, oo adiga la'aantaa ninna gacantiisa ama cagtiisa kor uma qaadi doono dalka Masar oo dhan.
The king said to Joseph, “I am the king, but no one in the whole land of Egypt will do anything [IDM] if you do not permit them to do it.”
45 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf magiciisii u bixiyey Saafnad Facneh, oo wuxuu u guuriyey Aasenad oo ahayd ina Footiiferac, wadaadkii Oon. Yuusufna markaasuu dalkii Masar oo dhan u baxay oo wada maray.
The king gave Joseph a new name, Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath to be his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, who was a priest in a temple in On [city]. Then Joseph became known (OR, traveled) through all the land of Egypt.
46 Yuusufna soddon sannadood buu jiray markuu hor istaagay Fircoon oo ahaa boqorkii Masar. Markaasaa Yuusuf Fircoon hortiisii ka tegey, oo wuxuu wada maray dalkii Masar oo dhan.
Joseph was 30 years old when he started to work for the king of Egypt. To do his work, he left the king’s palace and traveled throughout Egypt.
47 Markaasaa toddobadii sannadood oo barwaaqada ahayd waxaa dhulkii ka soo baxay wax aad u badan.
During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
48 Markaasuu ururiyey cuntadii toddobadii sannadood baxday oo dalka Masar oo dhan tiil, oo cuntadii wuxuu ku kaydiyey magaalooyinka. Cuntadii beerihii ku wareegsanaa magaalo kastana isku meel buu ku kaydiyey.
As Joseph supervised them, his helpers collected one-fifth of all the grain that was produced during those years, and stored it in the cities. In each city, he had his helpers store up the grain that was grown in the fields that surrounded that city.
49 Markaasaa Yuusuf hadhuudh aad u badan wuxuu u kaydiyey sida cammuudda badda, ilaa uu tirintii daayay, maxaa yeelay, waxay ahayd wax aan tiro lahayn.
Joseph had them store up a huge amount of grain. It looked as plentiful as the sand on the seashore. There was so much grain that after a while they stopped keeping records of how much grain was stored, because there was more grain than they could measure.
50 Oo Yuusuf waxaa u dhashay laba wiil intii aan sannaddii abaarta ahayd iman, oo waxaa u dhashay Aasenad oo ahayd ina Footiiferac, wadaadkii Oon.
Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
51 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu curadkii magiciisii u bixiyey Manaseh; waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah waa i illowsiiyey dhibaatadaydii oo dhan, iyo gurigii aabbahay oo dhan.
Joseph named the first one Manasseh, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘forget]’, because, he said, “God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.”
52 Kii labaadna magiciisii wuxuu u bixiyey Efrayim. Waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah waa igu badiyey dalkii aan ku dhibtooday.
He named his second son Ephraim, [which means ‘to have children]’, because, he said, “God has given me children here in this land where I have suffered.”
53 Markaasaa toddobadii sannadood oo barwaaqada ahayd ay dalkii Masar ka dhammaadeen.
Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
54 Oo waxaa bilaabatay toddobadii sannadood oo abaarta ahayd, sidii Yuusuf yidhi. Dalalkii oo dhanna abaar baa ka dhacday; laakiinse dalka Masar oo dhan cuntaa jirtay.
Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities.
55 Oo markii dalkii Masar oo dhammu wada abaarsaday ayaa dadkii Fircoon cunto ugu qayliyeen. Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu ku yidhi Masriyiintii oo dhan, Yuusuf u taga, oo wuxuu idin yidhaahdo yeela.
When all the people of [MTY] Egypt had eaten all of their own food and were still hungry, they begged the king for food. So the king told all the people of Egypt, “Go to Joseph, and do what he tells you to do.”
56 Oo abaartuna waxay ka dhacday dhulka dushiisa oo dhan. Markaasaa Yuusuf wada furay maqsinnadii oo dhan, oo wuxuu hadhuudhkii ka iibiyey Masriyiintii, abaartuna aad bay ugu xumayd dalka Masar.
When the famine was very bad throughout the whole country, Joseph ordered his helpers to open the storehouses. Then they sold the grain in the storehouses to the people of Egypt, because the famine was very severe all over Egypt.
57 Markaasaa dalalkii oo dhammu waxay u soo safreen Masar, oo Yuusuf bay ugu yimaadeen inay hadhuudh ka iibsadaan; maxaa yeelay, abaartu aad bay ugu xumayd dhulka oo dhan.
And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
