1 Mose 41
1 Mfe abien akyi no, Farao soo dae bi. Na ogyina Asubɔnten Nil ho.
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed. And, behold, he stood by the river.
2 Ohuu wɔ dae no mu sɛ anantwi ason a wɔadodɔ srade, na wɔn ho tua wɔn ho fii asubɔnten no mu ba bɛwee sare a na ɛwɔ hɔ no.
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, well-favored and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed grass.
3 Anantwi akɛse ason no akyi no, anantwi ason foforo a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ nkanyankanya fii Asubɔnten Nil mu ba begyinaa anantwi a wɔadodɔ srade no ho wɔ asu no konkɔn so.
And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river.
4 Anantwi ason a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ nkanyankanya no memenee anantwi ason a wɔadodɔ srade no. Na Farao bɔɔ pitiri nyanee!
And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven well-favored and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 Nna faa Farao bio ma ɔsoo dae a ɛto so abien. Ohuu wɔ dae no mu sɛ, ɔmo kasiaw ason a ɛwɔ ahoɔden na ɛyɛ fɛ asow wɔ ɔmo dua baako so.
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good.
6 Akyiri no, kasiaw ason bi a ɛyɛ nkanyankanya a apuei mframa abɔ no ama atwintwam nso fifii.
And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
7 Ɔmo nkanyankanya no memenee ɔmo a ɛwɔ ahoɔden na ɛyɛ fɛ no. Farao nyanee, na ohuu sɛ sɛɛ na nea ohuu no nyinaa yɛ ɔdae.
And the thin ears swallowed up the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 Ade kyee no, nʼadwene mu yɛɛ no basaa. Enti Farao soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ nkonyaayifo ne anyansafo a wɔwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa baa ne fi. Farao kaa dae a ɔsoo no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn, nanso wɔn mu biara antumi ankyerɛ ase.
And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was no man who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Ɛhɔ na Farao nsahyɛfo panyin no ka kyerɛɛ Farao se, “Nnɛ na wɔakae me me sintɔ.
Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day.
10 Mmere bi a atwa mu no, wo Farao bo fuw wʼasomfo yiye. Ɛnam so ma wode me ne wo brodotofo panyin kɔtoo afiase wɔ awɛmfo panyin fi.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 Yɛn baanu nyinaa sosoo adae anadwo koro no ara a na ɛsono sɛnea yɛn mu biara dae no si te.
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he, we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 Saa bere no, na Hebrini aberantewa bi a na ɔyɛ awɛmfo panyin Potifar somfo ka yɛn ho wɔ afiase hɔ. Yɛkaa yɛn dae a yɛsosoo no kyerɛɛ no no, ɔkyerɛɛ yɛn mu biara dae ase pɛpɛɛpɛ.
And there was a young man with us there, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him. And he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
13 Na ne nkyerɛase a ɔmaa no baa mu saa pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mesan kodii me dibea, na wɔsɛn brodotofo panyin no nso.”
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; he restored me to my office, and he hanged him.
14 Amono mu hɔ ara, Farao soma ma wokoyii Yosef fii afiase hɔ bae. Ofi afiase hɔ no, oyii nʼabogyesɛ, sesaa nʼatade, na ɔbaa Farao anim.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they brought him hastily out of the dungeon, and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Maso dae bi a obiara ntumi nkyerɛ ase. Nanso mate sɛ wo de, sɛ obi ka ne dae kyerɛ wo a, wutumi kyerɛ ase. Ɛno nti na masoma abɛfrɛ wo yi.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, that when thou hear a dream thou can interpret it.
16 Yosef buaa Farao se, “Me ara merentumi mfi me tumi mu nkyerɛ dae no ase. Onyankopɔn na ɔbɛkyerɛ wo dae no ase.”
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 Na Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Mʼadaeso no mu no, na migyina Asubɔnten Nil konkɔn so.
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
18 Mihuu sɛ anantwi ason a wɔadodɔ srade, na wɔn ho tua wɔn ho fi asubɔnten no mu ba bɛnantew wura no mu, fii ase wee sare.
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed and well-favored, and they fed in the reed grass.
19 Anantwi akɛse ason no akyi no, anantwi ason foforo a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ nkanyankanya nso puei; minhuu anantwi a wɔyɛ tan bi saa wɔ Misraim asase so da.
And, behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 Anantwi ason a wɔafonfɔn ayeyɛ nkanyankanya no memenee anantwi ason a wɔadodɔ srade na wɔn ho tua wɔn ho a wodii kan puei no.
And the lean and ill-favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 Nanso wɔmemenee wɔn nyinaa akyi no, hwee ankyerɛ sɛ wɔayɛ saa, na wɔn ho da so yɛ nkanyankanya, tantan no ara. Na mebɔɔ pitiri nyanee.
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 “Mesan soo dae bio hui sɛ, ɔmo kasiaw ason a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛwɔ ahoɔden sɛ asow wɔ ɔmo dua baako so.
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 Eyinom akyi no, ɔmo kasiaw ason bi a apuei mframa abɔ no, ama akisa ayeyɛ nkanyankanya nso fifii.
And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them,
24 Ɔmo nkanyankanya no memenee ɔmo ason a ɛyɛ fɛ na ɛwɔ ahoɔden no. Mekaa me dae no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nkonyaayifo no, wɔn mu biara antumi ankyerɛ me ase.”
and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no man who could declare it to me.
25 Ɛnna Yosef ka kyerɛɛ Farao se, “Wo dae abien a wososoe no nyinaa nkyerɛase yɛ pɛ. Onyankopɔn nam dae no so reda biribi a ɔrebɛyɛ no adi akyerɛ wo.
And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 Anantwi ason a wɔadodɔ srade no ne ɔmo kasiaw ason a ɛyɛ fɛ, na ɛwɔ ahoɔden no ase kyerɛ mfe ason; ɛyɛ dae koro.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.
27 Anantwi ason a wɔafonfɔn, na wɔayeyɛ nkanyankanya no yɛ mfe ason, na saa ara na ɔmo kasiaw ason a ayeyɛ nhweanhweaa a apuei mframa ama akisa no te: ɛyɛ ɔkɔm a ɛbɛba mfe ason.
And the seven lean and ill-favored cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind, they shall be seven years of famine.
28 “Ɛyɛ sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ Ɔhene no: Onyankopɔn akyerɛ wo nea ɔrebɛyɛ.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.
29 Mfe ason a edi kan no, aduan bebu wɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa,
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,
30 nanso akyiri no, ɔkɔm kɛse bi bɛba mfe ason. Na nnipa werɛ befi asetena pa a wonyaa no mfe ason a edi kan no mu no. Ɔkɔm bɛposa asase no.
and there shall arise after them seven years of famine. And all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.
31 Esiane ɔkɔm a ebedi mmere pa a atwa mu no akyi no ano den a ɛbɛyɛ no nti, saa bere no wɔrenkae mmere pa no bio wɔ asase no so.
And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of that famine which follows, for it shall be very grievous.
32 Saa dae abien a wosoo no kyerɛ sɛnea ɔkɔm no ano bɛyɛ den afa. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, asɛm a maka akyerɛ wo no bɛba mu saa pɛpɛɛpɛ. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn na wasi gyinae pi saa. Na ɛrenkyɛre koraa ɛbɛba mu saa.
And because the dream was doubled to Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 “Enti wɔmma Ɔhene hwehwɛ onyansafo kɛse a ɔwɔ nhumu wɔ Misraim asase yi so, na ɔmfa ɔman yi mu kuadwuma ho asɛm nyinaa hyɛ ne nsa.
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out for a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Ma ɔhene Farao nyiyi nnipa, ntuatua amansin ahorow anum no ano. Na saa nnipa a wɔde wɔn betuatua amansin no ano no nyiyi nnɔbae a ɛbɛba mmere pa mfe ason no mu no nkyɛmu anum mu baako, mfa nsie.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
35 Ɛsɛ sɛ saa nnipa a wotuatua amansin no ano no boaboa nnuan a wobegyigye mmere pa mfe ason a nnuan bebu no, de gu asan so wɔ ɔhene Farao din mu. Wɔmfa saa nnuan no nhyehyɛ asan so wɔ nkurow akɛse mu.
And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
36 Nnuan yi na mfe ason a ɔkɔm bɛba wɔ Misraim asase so no, ɔmanfo no bedi. Saa nnuan yi na wɔde besie ama ɔman no. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ, ɔkɔm bɛbɔ ɔman no.”
And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land not perish through the famine.
37 Farao ne ne mpanyimfo no gyee asɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no nyinaa too mu.
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Enti Farao bisaa wɔn se, “So yebenya obi a ɔte sɛ ɔbarima yi, nea Onyankopɔn honhom ahyɛ no ma?”
And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
39 Na Farao dan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Onyankopɔn ayi saa dae yi ne ne nkyerɛase akyerɛ wo yi, obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ onyansafo a ɔwɔ nhumu wɔ Misraimman yi mu sɛ wo.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has shown thee all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
40 Mede saa adwuma kɛse yi nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Asɛm biara a wobɛka afa saa adwuma yi ho no, obiara nni ho asɛm ka wɔ Misraim nyinaa. Mʼahengua a me Farao, mete so no nko ara na ɛma meyɛ ɔkɛse sen wo.”
Thou shall be over my house, and according to thy word all my people shall be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than thou.
41 Enti Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Mede Misraim asase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 Na Farao worɔw ne nsɔwano kaa de hyɛɛ Yosef nsa. Ɔde sirikyi batakari papa bi hyɛɛ Yosef, de sika ntweaban yan no.
And Pharaoh took his signet ring from off his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
43 Ɔmaa Yosef teaseɛnam tenaa mu sɛ nʼabediakyiri. Baabiara a Yosef bɛkɔ no, na nnipa di nʼanim teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Momma kwan!” Saa ɔkwan yi so na ɔhene Farao fa de Misraim asase nyinaa hyɛɛ Yosef nsa.
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried before him, Bow the knee. And he set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Na Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Mene Farao, Misraimhene de, nanso obiara ntumi mfi wʼakyi nyɛ biribiara wɔ Misraimman yi mu baabiara, gye sɛ woama ho kwan ansa.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 Farao maa Yosef ahennin se Safnat-Panea. Farao maa Yosef ɔbea nso waree. Na ababaa no din de Asnat a ɔyɛ ɔbosom On kɔmfo Potifera babea. Ɛnam eyi so maa Yosef nyaa tumi maa ne din hyetaa wɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa.
And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, for a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 Bere a Yosef kɔɔ ɔhene Farao agua ase no, na wadi mfirihyia aduasa. Farao maa Yosef kwan maa ɔbɔɔ aporɔw faa Misraim asase so nyinaa.
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Mfe ason a edi kan no mu no, aduan buu so wɔ Misraim asase so yiye.
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 Saa mfe ason no mu no, Yosef boaboaa nnuan a ebuu so wɔ Misraimman mu no ano kɔkoraa wɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwowɔ Misraim no mu. Wɔde aduan biara a wonya fii kurow biara mu no bi siee wɔ hɔ.
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. The food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.
49 Mfe ason akyi no, na Yosef akora nnuan wɔ nnuankorabea hɔ, ama abu so ara kosii sɛ afei na obiara mmu ho nkontaa bio.
And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering, for it was without number.
50 Ansa na ɔkɔm kɛse no rebɛba no, na Yosef yere Asnat a ɔyɛ ɔbosom On kɔmfo Potifera babea no awo mmabarima baanu.
And two sons were born to Joseph before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Yosef too nʼabakan no din Manase, a nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn ama me werɛ afi mʼamanehunu ne mʼagya fi nyinaa.
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 Yosef babarima a ɔto so abien no nso, wɔtoo no din Efraim, a nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn ama mʼase afɛe wɔ asase a mebaa so sɛ akoa no so.
And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 Mfe ason a aduan buu so wɔ Misraim asase so no twaa mu.
And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
54 Sɛnea Yosef hyɛɛ nkɔm no, ɔkɔm a ɛbɛba mfe ason a edi so no fii ase. Ɔkɔm kɛse sii nsase a na atwa Misraim ho ahyia no nyinaa so, nanso Misraim asase ankasa so de, na aduan abu so.
And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 Bere a ɔkɔm no sii denneennen wɔ Misraim asase so no, ɔmanfo no su frɛɛ Farao. Farao ka kyerɛɛ Misraimfo nyinaa se, “Monkɔ Yosef nkyɛn, na biribiara a ɔbɛka akyerɛ mo sɛ monyɛ no, monyɛ.”
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.
56 Bere a ɔkɔm kɛse no trɛw faa ɔman no nyinaa mu no, Yosef buebuee ne nnuankorabea no nyinaa ano, tɔn aburow maa Misraimfo no, efisɛ na ɔkɔm no ano yɛ den yiye ma wɔn.
And the famine was over all the face of the earth. And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Enti na aman a atwa Misraim ho ahyia no nyinaa kɔtɔ aduan wɔ Yosef nkyɛn wɔ Misraim, efisɛ na ɔkɔm a aba no ano yɛ den yiye.
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe on all the earth.
