Mwanzo 41
1 Baada ya miaka miwili kamili kupita, Farao aliota ndoto: Tazama alikuwa amesimama kando ya Mto Naili,
And it was from [the] end of two years days and Pharaoh [was] dreaming and there! [he was] standing at the River.
2 wakati ngʼombe saba, wazuri na wanono, walitokea mtoni wakajilisha kwenye matete.
And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows good looking of appearance and fat of flesh and they grazed among the reed[s].
3 Baada yao ngʼombe wengine saba, wabaya na waliokonda, wakatokea mtoni Naili wakasimama kando ya wale wanono ukingoni mwa mto.
And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them from the River displeasing of appearance and thin of flesh and they stood beside the cows on [the] bank of the River.
4 Wale ngʼombe wabaya na waliokonda wakawala wale saba wazuri na wanono. Kisha Farao akaamka.
And they ate the cows displeasing of appearance and [the] thin of flesh seven the cows good looking of appearance and fat and he awoke Pharaoh.
5 Farao akaingia usingizini tena akaota ndoto ya pili: Akaona masuke saba ya nafaka, yenye afya na mazuri, yanakua katika bua moja.
And he slept and he dreamed a second [time] and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one fat and good.
6 Baadaye, masuke mengine saba yakachipua, yakiwa membamba yaliyonyaushwa na upepo wa mashariki.
And there! seven ears of grain thin and scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
7 Masuke yale membamba yakameza yale masuke saba yenye afya na yaliyojaa. Basi Farao akaamka kutoka usingizini, kumbe ilikuwa ndoto.
And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain fat and full and he awoke Pharaoh and there! a dream.
8 Asubuhi yake, alifadhaika akilini, hivyo akawaita waaguzi wote pamoja na watu wenye busara wa Misri. Walipokuja, Farao akawaeleza ndoto zake, lakini hakuna hata mmoja aliyeweza kumfasiria.
And it was in the morning and it was troubled spirit his and he sent and he summoned all [the] diviner priests of Egypt and all wise [men] its and he recounted Pharaoh to them dream his and there not [was one who] interpreted them for Pharaoh.
9 Ndipo mnyweshaji mkuu alipomwambia Farao, “Leo nimekumbushwa kuhusu kosa langu.
And he spoke [the] chief of the cup bearers with Pharaoh saying sins my I [am] bringing to remembrance this day.
10 Wakati fulani Farao aliwakasirikia watumishi wake, akanifunga mimi na mwokaji mkuu katika nyumba ya mkuu wa ulinzi.
Pharaoh he was angry towards servants his and he put me in [the] custody of [the] house of [the] commander of the bodyguards me and [the] chief of the bakers.
11 Kila mmoja wetu aliota ndoto katika usiku mmoja na kila ndoto ilikuwa na maana yake tofauti.
And we dreamed! a dream in a night one I and he each according to [the] interpretation of dream his we dreamed.
12 Basi kijana wa Kiebrania aliyekuwa pamoja nasi huko, alikuwa mtumishi wa mkuu wa kikosi cha ulinzi. Tulimweleza ndoto zetu, naye akatufasiria, akitupa kila mtu tafsiri ya ndoto yake.
And [was] there with us a young man a Hebrew a slave of [the] commander of the bodyguards and we recounted to him and he interpreted for us dreams our each according to dream his he interpreted.
13 Nayo mambo yakawa sawa kabisa na jinsi alivyotufasiria ndoto zetu: Mimi nilirudishwa kazini mwangu na huyo mtu mwingine akaangikwa.”
And it was just as he interpreted for us so it was me he restored to office my and him he hanged.
14 Basi, Farao akatuma Yosefu aitwe, naye akatolewa kifungoni haraka. Baada ya kunyoa na kubadilisha nguo zake akaenda mbele ya Farao.
And he sent Pharaoh and he summoned Joseph and people brought quickly him from the pit and he shaved and he changed clothes his and he came to Pharaoh.
15 Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Nimeota ndoto, wala hakuna mtu hata mmoja anayeweza kuifasiri. Lakini nimesikia ikisemwa kwa habari yako kwamba unapoelezwa ndoto waweza kuifasiri.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph a dream I have dreamed and [is one who] interprets there not it and I I have heard on you saying you hear a dream to interpret it.
16 Yosefu akamjibu Farao, “Siwezi kuifasiri, lakini Mungu atampa Farao jibu analolihitaji.”
And he answered Joseph Pharaoh saying apart from me God he will answer [the] welfare of Pharaoh.
17 Kisha Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Katika ndoto yangu nilikuwa nimesimama ukingoni mwa Mto Naili,
And he spoke Pharaoh to Joseph in dream my if [was] I standing on [the] bank of the River.
18 nikawaona ngʼombe saba, wazuri na wanono, wakijitokeza kutoka mtoni wakaja kujilisha kwenye matete.
And there! from the River [were] coming up seven cows fat of flesh and good looking of form and they grazed among the reed[s].
19 Baada ya hao, ngʼombe wengine saba wadhaifu wakatokea, wabaya sana na waliokonda. Kamwe sikuwahi kuona ngʼombe wabaya jinsi hiyo katika nchi yote ya Misri.
And there! seven cows another [were] coming up after them weak and displeasing of form very and thin of flesh not I have seen like them in all [the] land of Egypt to badness.
20 Hao ngʼombe waliokonda na wabaya sana wakawala wale ngʼombe saba walionona waliojitokeza kwanza.
And they ate the cows thin and displeasing seven the cows former fat.
21 Lakini hata baada ya kuwala, hakuna mtu ambaye angeweza kusema kwamba wamekula, bado walionekana wabaya kama mwanzoni. Kisha nikaamka kutoka usingizini.
And they went into inward part[s] their and not it was known that they had gone into inward part[s] their and appearance their [was] displeasing just as at the beginning and I awoke.
22 “Pia katika ndoto zangu niliona masuke saba ya nafaka, yamejaa na mazuri, yanakua katika bua moja.
And I saw in dream my and there! - seven ears of grain [were] coming up on a stalk one full and good.
23 Baada ya hayo masuke mengine saba yakachipua, yaliyonyauka, membamba na yamekaushwa na upepo wa mashariki.
And there! seven ears of grain withered thin scorched of an east wind [were] springing up after them.
24 Yale masuke membamba ya nafaka yakayameza yale masuke saba mazuri yaliyojaa nafaka. Nimewaeleza waaguzi, wala hakuna yeyote aliyeweza kunifasiria.”
And they swallowed the ears of grain thin seven the ears of grain good and I said to the diviner priests and there not [was one who] told to me.
25 Ndipo Yosefu akamwambia Farao, “Ndoto za Farao ni ndoto iyo hiyo moja. Mungu amemfunulia Farao jambo analokusudia kufanya karibuni.
And he said Joseph to Pharaoh [the] dream of Pharaoh [is] one it [that] which God [is] about to do he has told to Pharaoh.
26 Ngʼombe saba wazuri ni miaka saba, nayo masuke saba mazuri yaliyojaa nafaka ni miaka saba, ni ndoto iyo hiyo moja.
Seven cows good [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain good [are] seven years they [is] dream one it.
27 Ngʼombe saba waliokonda na wabaya wale waliojitokeza baadaye ni miaka saba, vivyo hivyo masuke saba ya ngano yaliyodhoofika na kukaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, ni miaka saba ya njaa.
And seven the cows thin and displeasing that were coming up after them [are] seven years they and seven the ears of grain empty scorched of the east wind they will be seven years of famine.
28 “Ni kama vile nilivyomwambia Farao: Mungu amemwonyesha Farao jambo analokusudia kufanya karibuni.
That [is] the word which I spoke to Pharaoh [that] which God [is] about to do he has shown Pharaoh.
29 Miaka saba ya neema inakuja katika nchi yote ya Misri,
There! seven years [are] about to come plenty great [will be] in all [the] land of Egypt.
30 lakini itafuata miaka saba ya njaa. Ndipo neema yote ya Misri itasahaulika na njaa itaikumba nchi.
And they will arise seven years of famine after them and it will be forgotten all the plenty in [the] land of Egypt and it will destroy the famine the land.
31 “Neema iliyokuwa katika nchi haitakumbukwa, kwa sababu njaa itakayofuata itakuwa kali mno.
And not it will be known the plenty in the land because of the famine that after thus for [will be] heavy it very.
32 Sababu ya ndoto kumjia Farao kwa namna mbili ni kwamba jambo hilo Mungu ameshaamua kwa hakika, naye Mungu atalifanya karibuni.
And on [the] being repeated of the dream to Pharaoh two times for [is] certain the matter from with God and [is] hurrying God to do it.
33 “Basi sasa Farao na atafute mtu mwenye akili na hekima ili amweke kuwa msimamizi wa nchi ya Misri.
And therefore let him see Pharaoh a man discerning and wise and let him set him over [the] land of Egypt.
34 Farao na aweke wenye amri nchini kote wakusanye sehemu ya tano ya mavuno ya Misri katika miaka hii saba ya neema.
Let him act Pharaoh and let him appoint overseers over the land and he will take a fifth of [the] land of Egypt in seven [the] years of plenty.
35 Wakusanye chakula chote katika miaka hii saba ya neema inayokuja na kuhifadhi nafaka chini ya mamlaka ya Farao, iwe akiba ya chakula katika miji.
And let them gather all [the] food of the years good that are coming these and let them store up grain under [the] hand of Pharaoh food in the cities and they will keep [it].
36 Chakula hiki kitakuwa akiba ya tahadhari kwa ajili ya nchi, ili kitumike katika ile miaka saba ya njaa itakayokuja Misri, ili nchi isiharibiwe na njaa.”
And it will become the food a store for the land for seven [the] years of famine which they will be in [the] land of Egypt and not it will be cut off the land by the famine.
37 Mpango huu ulionekana mzuri kwa Farao na kwa maafisa wake wote.
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of all servants his.
38 Hivyo Farao akawauliza, “Je tunaweza kumpata yeyote kama mtu huyu, ambaye Roho wa Mungu yumo ndani yake?”
And he said Pharaoh to servants his ¿ has he been found like this one a man whom [the] spirit of God [is] in him.
39 Ndipo Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Maadamu Mungu amekufunulia yote haya, hakuna mwingine yeyote mwenye akili na hekima kama wewe.
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph after has made know God you all this there not [is] a discerning [person] and a wise [person] like you.
40 Wewe utakuwa msimamizi wa jumba langu la kifalme, na watu wangu wote watatii amri zako. Ni kuhusu kiti cha ufalme tu nitakuwa mkuu kuliko wewe.”
You you will be over house my and on mouth your it will kiss all people my only the throne I will be great more than you.
41 Kwa hiyo Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Sasa nakuweka uwe msimamizi wa nchi yote ya Misri.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph see I set you over all [the] land of Egypt.
42 Ndipo Farao akaivua pete yake ya muhuri kutoka kidoleni mwake na kuivalisha katika kidole cha Yosefu. Akamvika majoho mazuri ya kitani safi na mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwake.
And he removed Pharaoh signet-ring his from on hand his and he set it on [the] hand of Joseph and he clothed him clothes of fine linen and he put [the] chain of gold on neck his.
43 Akampandisha katika gari lake la farasi kama msaidizi wake, watu wakatangulia wakishangilia, wakisema, “Fungueni njia!” Ndivyo Farao alivyomweka Yosefu kuwa msimamizi wa nchi yote ya Misri.
And he made ride him in [the] chariot of the second which [belonged] to him and they called out before him bend [the] knee and he put him over all [the] land of Egypt.
44 Kisha Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Mimi ni Farao, lakini pasipo neno lako, hakuna mtu mwenye ruhusa kuinua mkono au mguu katika nchi yote ya Misri.”
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph I [am] Pharaoh and apart from you not he will lift up anyone hand his and foot his in all [the] land of Egypt.
45 Farao akamwita Yosefu Safenath-Panea, pia akampa Asenathi binti Potifera, kuhani wa mji wa Oni, kuwa mke wake. Ndipo Yosefu akaitembelea nchi yote ya Misri.
And he called Pharaoh [the] name of Joseph Zaphenath-Paneah and he gave to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On to a wife and he went out Joseph over [the] land of Egypt.
46 Yosefu alikuwa na miaka thelathini alipoingia katika utumishi wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Naye Yosefu akatoka mbele ya Farao akasafiri katika nchi yote ya Misri.
And Joseph [was] a son of thirty year[s] when stood he before Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he went out Joseph from to before Pharaoh and he passed in all [the] land of Egypt.
47 Katika ile miaka saba ya neema nchi ilizaa mazao kwa wingi sana.
And it produced the land in seven [the] years of plenty to handfuls.
48 Yosefu akakusanya chakula chote kilichozalishwa katika ile miaka saba ya neema nchini Misri, akakihifadhi katika ghala za miji. Katika kila mji kulihifadhiwa chakula kilichozalishwa katika mashamba yaliyouzunguka mji huo.
And he gathered all [the] food of - seven [the] years which they were in [the] land of Egypt and he put food in the cities [the] food of [the] field[s] of the city which [was] around it he put in [the] midst of it.
49 Yosefu alihifadhi nafaka nyingi, mfano wa mchanga wa bahari, ilikuwa nyingi mno kiasi kwamba walishindwa kuweka kumbukumbu kwa sababu akiba ilizidi sana kupita kipimo.
And he stored up Joseph grain like [the] sand of the sea much very until that he ceased to measure [it] for there not [was] a measure.
50 Kabla ya miaka ya njaa kuanza, Asenathi binti Potifera, kuhani wa mji wa Oni, alikuwa amemzalia Yosefu wana wawili wa kiume.
And to Joseph it was born two sons before it came [the] year of famine whom she bore to him Asenath [the] daughter of Poti-phera [the] priest of On.
51 Yosefu akamwita mzaliwa wake wa kwanza Manase, akisema, “Ni kwa sababu Mungu amenifanya nisahau taabu zangu zote pamoja na jamaa yote ya nyumba ya baba yangu.”
And he called Joseph [the] name of the firstborn Manasseh for he has made forget me God all trouble my and all [the] household of father my.
52 Mwana wa pili akamwita Efraimu, akisema, “Ni kwa sababu Mungu amenistawisha katika nchi ya mateso yangu.”
And [the] name of the second he called Ephraim for he has made fruitful me God in [the] land of affliction my.
53 Ile miaka saba ya neema huko Misri ikaisha,
And they came to an end seven [the] years of plenty which it was in [the] land of Egypt.
54 nayo miaka ile saba ya njaa ikaanza, sawasawa na alivyosema Yosefu. Kulikuwa na njaa katika nchi nyingine zote, bali katika nchi yote ya Misri kulikuwa na chakula.
And they began seven [the] years of famine to come just as he had said Joseph and it was a famine in all the lands and in all [the] land of Egypt it was food.
55 Wakati nchi yote ya Misri ilipopatwa na njaa, watu wakamlilia Farao ili awape chakula. Ndipo Farao alipowaagiza Wamisri wote, akisema, “Nendeni kwa Yosefu, nanyi mfanye anachowaambia.”
And it was hungry all [the] land of Egypt and it cried out the people to Pharaoh for food and he said Pharaoh to all Egypt go to Joseph [that] which he will say to you you will do.
56 Wakati njaa ilipokuwa imeenea katika nchi yote, Yosefu akafungua ghala za vyakula na kuwauzia Wamisri nafaka, kwa sababu njaa ilikuwa kali mno katika nchi yote ya Misri.
And the famine it was over all [the] face of the land and he opened Joseph all that [was] in them and he bought grain to Egypt and it was severe the famine in [the] land of Egypt.
57 Pia nchi nyingine zote zilikuja Misri kununua nafaka kutoka kwa Yosefu, kwa sababu njaa ilikuwa kali mno duniani kote.
And all the earth they came Egypt towards to buy grain to Joseph for it was severe the famine in all the earth.
