Genesis 41
1 At nangyari, sa katapusan ng dalawang taong ganap, na si Faraon ay nanaginip: at, narito, na siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng ilog.
Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
2 At, narito may nagsiahon sa ilog na pitong bakang magagandang anyo at matatabang laman; at nanginain sa talahiban.
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
3 At, narito, na ibang pitong baka, na nagsiahon sa ilog na nasa likuran nila, mga pangit na anyo, at payat; at nagsihinto roon sa tabi ng mga unang baka, sa tabi ng ilog.
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 At ang pitong bakang magagandang anyo at matataba, ay nilamon ng mga bakang pangit ang anyo at payat. Sa gayo'y nagising si Faraon.
Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
5 At siya'y natulog at nanaginip na bilang ikalawa; at, narito may sumupling na pitong uhay na mabibintog at mabubuti, na may isa lamang tangkay.
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 At, narito, may pitong uhay na payat at tinutuyo ng hanging silanganan, na nagsitubong kasunod ng mga yaon.
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 At nilamon ng mga uhay na payat ang pitong uhay na mabibintog at malulusog. At nagising si Faraon, at, narito, isang panaginip.
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 At nangyari, sa kinaumagahan, na ang kaniyang diwa ay nagulumihanan at siya'y nagsugo at kaniyang ipinatawag ang lahat ng mago sa Egipto, at ang lahat ng pantas doon: at isinaysay ni Faraon sa kanila ang kaniyang panaginip: datapuwa't walang makapagpaliwanag kay Faraon.
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 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita ang puno ng mga katiwala kay Faraon, na sinasabi, Naaalaala ko sa araw na ito ang aking mga sala:
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 Nguni't si Faraon laban sa kaniyang mga alila, at ibinilanggo ako sa bahay ng kapitan ng bantay, ako at ang puno ng mga magtitinapay.
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 At nanaginip kami ng panaginip sa isang gabi, ako at siya: kami ay kapuwa nanaginip ayon sa kapaliwanagan ng panaginip ng isa't isa sa amin.
While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
12 At nandoong kasama namin ang isang binata, isang Hebreo, na alipin ng kapitan ng bantay; at siya naming pinagsaysayan, at kaniyang ipinaliwanag sa amin ang aming panaginip; ipinaliwanag niya ayon sa panaginip ng bawat isa sa amin.
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 At nangyari, na kung paano ang kaniyang pagkapaliwanag sa amin, ay nagkagayon; ako'y pinabalik sa aking katungkulan, at ipinabitin ang isa.
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 Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si Faraon at ipinatawag si Jose, at siya'y inilabas na madalian sa bilangguan: siya'y nagahit at nagbihis ng suot, at naparoon kay Faraon.
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 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Ako'y nanaginip ng isang panaginip, at walang makapagpaliwanag: at nabalitaan kita, na pagkarinig mo ng isang panaginip ay naipaliwanag mo.
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 At sumagot si Jose kay Faraon, na sinasabi, Wala sa akin; Dios ang magbibigay ng sagot sa kapayapaan kay Faraon.
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 At sinalita ni Faraon kay Jose, Sa aking panaginip ay narito, nakatayo ako sa tabi ng ilog:
The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
18 At, narito, may nagsiahon sa ilog na pitong bakang matatabang laman at magagandang anyo, at nanginain sa talahiban:
Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
19 At, narito, may ibang pitong baka na nagsiahon sa likuran nila, mga payat, at napakapangit ang anyo, at payat na kailan ma'y hindi ako nakakita sa buong lupain ng Egipto ng ibang kawangis ng mga yaon sa kapangitan.
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 At kinain ng mga bakang payat at pangit, ang pitong nauunang bakang matataba:
The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
21 At nang kanilang makain, ay hindi man lamang maalaman na sila'y kanilang nakain; kundi ang kanilang anyo ay pangit ding gaya ng una. Sa gayo'y nagising ako.
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 At nakakita ako sa aking panaginip, at, narito, pitong uhay ay tumataas sa isang tangkay, mapipintog at mabubuti.
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 At, narito, may pitong uhay na lanta, mga pipi at tinutuyo ng hanging silanganan na nagsitaas na kasunod ng mga yaon:
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 At nilamon ng mga uhay na lanta ang pitong uhay na mabubuti: at aking isinaysay sa mga mago: datapuwa't walang makapagpahayag niyaon sa akin.
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 At sinabi ni Jose kay Faraon, Ang panaginip ni Faraon ay iisa; ang gagawin ng Dios ay ipinahayag kay Faraon:
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 Ang pitong bakang mabubuti ay pitong taon; at ang pitong uhay na mabubuti ay pitong taon; ang panaginip ay iisa.
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 At ang pitong bakang payat at mga pangit, na nagsiahong kasunod ng mga yaon ay pitong taon, at gayon din ang pitong uhay na tuyo, na pinapaspas ng hanging silanganan; kapuwa magiging pitong taong kagutom.
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 Iyan ang bagay na sinalita ko kay Faraon: ang gagawin ng Dios, ipinaalam kay Faraon.
It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
29 Narito, dumarating ang pitong taong may malaking kasaganaan sa buong lupain ng Egipto;
There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
30 At may dadating, pagkatapos ng mga iyan, na pitong taong kagutom; at malilimutan iyang buong kasaganaan sa lupain ng Egipto; at pupuksain ng kagutom ang lupain;
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 At ang kasaganaan ay hindi malalaman sa lupain, dahil sa kagutom na sumusunod; sapagka't magiging napakahigpit.
The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
32 At kaya't pinagibayo ang panaginip kay Faraon na makalawa, ay sapagka't bagay na itinatag ng Dios, at papangyayarihing madali ng Dios.
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 Ngayon nga'y humanap si Faraon ng isang taong matalino at pantas, at ilagay sa lupain ng Egipto.
“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 Gawing ganito ni Faraon, at maglagay ng mga tagapamahala sa lupain, na paglimahing bahagi ang lupain ng Egipto sa loob ng pitong taon ng kasaganaan.
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 At kanilang tipunin ang lahat ng pagkain nitong mabubuting taon na dumarating, at magkamalig ng trigo sa kapangyarihan ng kamay ni Faraon, na pinakapagkain sa mga bayan at ingatan.
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 At ang pagkain ay kamaligin na itaan sa lupain sa pitong taong kagutom na mangyayari sa lupain ng Egipto; upang huwag mapuksa ang lupain sa kagutom.
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 At ang bagay ay minabuti ng mga mata ni Faraon, at ng mga mata ng kaniyang mga lingkod.
The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
38 At sinabi ni Faraon sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Makakasumpong kaya tayo ng isang gaya nito, na taong kinakasihan ng espiritu ng Dios?
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 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Yamang ipinabatid sa iyo ng Dios: ang lahat ng ito, ay walang matalino o pantas na gaya mo:
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 Ikaw ay magpupuno sa aking bahay, at ayon sa iyong salita ay pamamahalaan mo ang aking buong bayan: sa luklukang hari lamang magiging mataas ako sa iyo.
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 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Tingnan mo, ikaw ay inilagay ko sa buong lupain ng Egipto.
Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
42 At inalis ni Faraon sa kamay niya ang kaniyang tandang singsing at inilagay sa kamay ni Jose, at siya'y sinuutan ng magandang lino at nilagyan siya ng isang kuwintas na ginto sa palibot ng kaniyang leeg;
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 At siya'y pinasakay niya sa ikalawang karro na tinatangkilik ni Faraon at isinisigaw sa unahan niya. Lumuhod kayo: at inihalal siya na puno sa buong lupain ng Egipto.
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 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Ako'y si Faraon, at kung wala ka ay hindi magtataas ang sinomang tao ng kaniyang kamay o ng kaniyang paa sa buong lupain ng Egipto.
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 At pinanganlan ni Faraon si Jose na Zaphnath-paanea, at ibinigay na asawa sa kaniya si Asenath, na anak ni Potiphera, na saserdote sa On. At lumabas si Jose, sa lupain ng Egipto.
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 At si Jose ay may tatlong pung taon nang tumayo sa harap ni Faraon na hari sa Egipto. At si Jose ay umalis sa harap ni Faraon, at nilibot ang buong lupain ng Egipto.
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 At sa pitong taong sagana ay nagdulot ang lupa ng sagana.
During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
48 At tinipon ni Jose ang lahat na pagkain sa pitong taon na tinamo sa lupain ng Egipto: at inimbak ang nangasabing pagkain sa mga bayan; na ang pagkain sa bukid na nasa palibot ng bawa't bayan ay inimbak sa bawa't kinauukulan ding bayan.
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 At si Jose ay nagkamalig ng trigo na parang buhangin sa dagat, na napakarami hanggang sa hindi nabilang; sapagka't walang bilang.
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 At bago dumating ang taong kagutom ay ipinanganak kay Jose ang dalawang lalake, na ipinanganak sa kaniya ni Asenath na anak ni Potiphera, na saserdote sa On.
Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
51 At tinawag ni Jose ang pangalan ng panganay na Manases, sapagka't aniya'y, Ipinalimot ng Dios sa akin ang lahat ng aking kapagalan at ang buong bahay ng aking ama.
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 At ang ipinangalan sa ikalawa ay Ephraim: Sapagka't ako'y pinalago ng Dios sa lupain ng aking kadalamhatian.
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 At ang pitong taon ng kasaganaan na nagkaroon sa lupain ng Egipto ay natapos.
Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
54 At ang pitong taon ng kagutom ay nagpasimulang dumating, ayon sa sinabi ni Jose: at nagkagutom sa lahat ng lupain; datapuwa't sa buong lupain ng Egipto ay may tinapay.
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 At nang ang buong lupain ng Egipto ay magutom, ay dumaing ng tinapay ang bayan kay Faraon: at sinabi ni Faraon sa lahat ng mga Egipcio, Pumaroon kayo kay Jose; ang kaniyang sabihin sa inyo ay inyong gawin.
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 At ang kagutom ay nasa ibabaw ng buong lupa: at binuksan ni Jose ang lahat ng kamalig at nagbili sa mga Egipcio; at lumala ang kagutom sa lupain ng Egipto.
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 At lahat ng mga taga ibang lupain ay nagsiparoon kay Jose upang magsibili ng trigo; sapagka't lumala ang kagutom sa buong lupa.
And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
