< Genesis 41 >

1 Nígbà tí odindi ọdún méjì sì ti kọjá, Farao lá àlá: ó rí ara rẹ̀ tó dúró ní etí odò Naili.
Now after two years had gone by, Pharaoh had a dream; and in his dream he was by the side of the Nile;
2 Nígbà náà ni màlúù méje jáde láti inú odò, wọ́n dára láti wò, wọ́n sì sanra, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko.
And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.
3 Lẹ́yìn àwọn wọ̀nyí, ni àwọn màlúù méje mìíràn tí kò lẹ́wà tí ó sì rù jáde wá láti inú odò Naili, wọ́n sì dúró ti àwọn méje tí ó sanra tí ó wà ní bèbè odò náà.
And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.
4 Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù, tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì gbé àwọn tí ó lẹ́wà tí ó sanra jẹ. Nígbà náà ni Farao jí.
And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.
5 Ó sì tún padà sùn, ó sì lá àlá mìíràn: ó rí síírí ọkà méje tí ó kún, ó yómọ, ó sì dára, ó sì jáde lára igi ọkà kan ṣoṣo.
But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.
6 Lẹ́yìn wọn ni síírí ọkà méje mìíràn yọ, wọn kò yómọ, afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù.
And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.
7 Àwọn síírí ọkà méje tí kò yómọ (ọmọ rẹ̀ kò tóbi) wọ̀nyí sì gbé àwọn tí ó yómọ (ọmọ rẹ̀ tóbi) mì. Nígbà náà ni Farao jí lójú oorun, ó sì rí i pé àlá ni.
And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.
8 Ní òwúrọ̀, ọkàn rẹ̀ dàrú, nítorí náà, ó ránṣẹ́ pe gbogbo àwọn onídán àti ọ̀mọ̀ran ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. Farao rọ́ àlá rẹ̀ fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò rí ọ̀kan nínú wọn tí ó le sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá náà fún un.
And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.
9 Nígbà náà ni olórí agbọ́tí wí fún Farao pé, “Lónìí ni mo rántí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;
10 Nígbà kan tí Farao bínú sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi èmi àti olórí alásè sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n ní ilé olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́.
Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;
11 Ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wa lá àlá, àlá kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ní ìtumọ̀ tirẹ̀.
And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.
12 Ọmọkùnrin ará Heberu kan tí ó jẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wa. A rọ́ àwọn àlá wa fún un, ó sì túmọ̀ wọn fún wa, ó sọ ìtumọ̀ àlá ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan fún un.
And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.
13 Bí ó sì ti túmọ̀ àlá wọ̀nyí náà ni ohun gbogbo rí. A dá mi padà sí ipò mi, a sì so ọkùnrin kejì kọ́ sórí ọ̀wọ̀n.”
And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.
14 Nítorí náà Farao ránṣẹ́ pe Josẹfu, wọn sì mú un wá kíákíá láti inú ìhámọ́. Nígbà tí ó fá irun rẹ̀, tí ó sì pààrọ̀ aṣọ rẹ̀, ó wá síwájú Farao.
Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.
15 Farao wí fún Josẹfu, “Mo lá àlá kan, kò sì sí ẹni tí o le è túmọ̀ rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti gbọ́ nípa rẹ pé bí o bá ti gbọ́ àlá, o le è túmọ̀ rẹ̀.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.
16 Josẹfu dá Farao ní ohùn pé, “Kì í ṣe agbára mi, ṣùgbọ́n, Ọlọ́run ni yóò fi ìdáhùn àlàáfíà fún Farao ní ìtumọ̀ àlá náà.”
Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.
17 Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Ní inú àlá mi, mo dúró ni etí bèbè odò Naili,
Then Pharaoh said, In my dream I was by the side of the Nile:
18 sì kíyèsi i, màlúù méje tí ó sanra tí o sì lẹ́wà jáde wá, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko ní tòsí ibẹ̀.
And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;
19 Lẹ́yìn wọn, màlúù méje mìíràn jáde wá, wọ́n rù hángógó, wọn kò sì lẹ́wà tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí n kò tí ì rí irú màlúù tí ó ṣe àìlẹ́wà tó bẹ́ẹ̀ rí ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;
20 Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì jẹ àwọn màlúù tí ó sanra tí ó kọ́ jáde nínú odò.
And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;
21 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jẹ́ wọ́n tan, kò sì ẹni tí ó le mọ̀ pé wọ́n jẹ ohunkóhun, nítorí wọn kò sanra sí i, wọn sì bùrẹ́wà síbẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni mo tají.
And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.
22 “Ní ojú àlá mi, mo tún rí síírí ọkà méje tí ó yó ọmọ tí ó sì dára, wọ́n jáde láti ara igi ọkà kan.
And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:
23 Lẹ́yìn wọn, àwọn méje mìíràn yọ jáde, tí kò yó ọmọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù tán.
And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:
24 Àwọn síírí ọkà méje tí kò yómọ sì gbé àwọn méje tí ó dára wọ̀nyí mì. Mo sọ àlá yìí fún àwọn onídán mi, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹni tí ó le túmọ̀ rẹ̀ fún mi.”
And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.
25 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu wí fún Farao, “Ìtumọ̀ kan náà ni àwọn àlá méjèèjì ní. Ọlọ́run fi ohun tí ó fẹ́ ṣe hàn fún Farao.
Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 Àwọn màlúù méje ti ó dára jẹ́ ọdún méje, síírí ọkà méje tí ó dára náà sì jẹ́ ọdún méje: ọ̀kan ṣoṣo ni wọn, àlá kan náà ni.
The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.
27 Àwọn màlúù méje tí kò sanra, tí kò sì rẹwà tí ó jáde gbẹ̀yìn jẹ́ ọdún méje, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni síírí ọkà méje tí kò dára, tí afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ dànù tan, wọn jẹ́ ọdún méje tí ìyàn yóò fi mú.
The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.
28 “Bí mo ti wí fún Farao ní ìṣáájú náà ni: Ọlọ́run fi ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ han Farao.
As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.
29 Ọdún méje tí oúnjẹ yóò pọ̀ yanturu ń bọ̀ wà ní Ejibiti.
Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;
30 Ṣùgbọ́n ọdún méje mìíràn tí ìyàn yóò mú ń bọ̀, nígbà náà ni a ó tilẹ̀ gbàgbé gbogbo ọ̀pọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ìyàn yóò sì run gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà.
And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;
31 A kò ní rántí àsìkò ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ yanturu náà mọ́ nítorí pé ìyàn tí yóò tẹ̀lé e yóò pọ̀ púpọ̀.
And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.
32 Ìdí tí Ọlọ́run fi fi àlá náà han fún Farao ní ọ̀nà méjì ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ni pé, Ọlọ́run ti pinnu pé yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ dandan, àti pé kò ni pẹ́ tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi ṣe é.
And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
33 “Ìmọ̀ràn mi ni wí pé, jẹ́ kí Farao wá ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn kan ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí ó sì fi ṣe alákòóso iṣẹ́ àgbẹ̀ ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Kí Farao sì yan àwọn alábojútó láti máa gba ìdámárùn-ún ìkórè oko ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní àsìkò ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀.
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.
35 Kí wọn kó gbogbo oúnjẹ ilẹ̀ náà ni àwọn ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ yìí, kí wọn sì kó àwọn ọkà tí wọn jẹ ṣẹ́kù pamọ́ lábẹ́ àṣẹ Farao. Kí a kó wọn pamọ́ ni àwọn ìlú fún jíjẹ.
And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.
36 Kí wọn kó oúnjẹ náà pamọ́ fún orílẹ̀-èdè yìí, kí a ba à le lò ó ni ọdún méje tí ìyàn yóò fi jà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí ìyàn náà má ba à pa orílẹ̀-èdè yìí run.”
And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.
37 Èrò náà sì dára lójú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀.
And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.
38 Farao sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ǹjẹ́ a le rí ẹnikẹ́ni bi ọkùnrin yìí, nínú ẹni tí ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run ń gbé?”
Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?
39 Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu, “Níwọ́n bí Ọlọ́run ti fi gbogbo èyí hàn ọ́, kò sí ẹni náà tí ó gbọ́n tí ó sì mọ̀ràn bí i tìrẹ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yìí,
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:
40 ìwọ yóò ṣe àkóso ààfin mi gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn gbọdọ̀ tẹríba fún àṣẹ ẹ̀ rẹ. Ìtẹ́ mi nìkan ni èmi yóò fi jù ọ́ lọ.”
You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.
41 Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Mo fi ọ́ ṣe alábojútó gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.
42 Farao sì bọ́ òrùka èdìdì ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì fi wọ Josẹfu ó wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ ọ̀gbọ̀ dáradára, ó sì fi ẹ̀gbà tí ó dára sí i lọ́rùn.
Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck;
43 Ó sì mú un kí ó gun kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin bí igbákejì ara rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn sì ń pariwo níwájú rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ yàgò lọ́nà.” Báyìí ni ó sì fi ṣe alábojútó gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Èmi ni Farao. Ṣùgbọ́n láìsí àṣẹ rẹ, ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ohunkóhun ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.
45 Farao sì sọ Josẹfu ní orúkọ yìí Safenati-Panea (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí ẹni tí ó ni agbára ikú àti ìyè ní ìkáwọ́ bí òrìṣà). Ó sì fun un ní Asenati ọmọ Potifẹra, alábojútó òrìṣà Oni, gẹ́gẹ́ bí aya. Josẹfu sì rin gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti já.
And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.
46 Ọmọ ọgbọ̀n ọdún ni Josẹfu nígbà tí ó wọ iṣẹ́ Farao ọba Ejibiti. Josẹfu sì jáde kúrò níwájú Farao, ó sì ṣe ìbẹ̀wò káàkiri gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
47 Ní ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀, ilẹ̀ náà so èso lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
Now in the seven good years the earth gave fruit in masses.
48 Josẹfu kó gbogbo oúnjẹ tí a pèsè ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ yìí, ó sì pa wọ́n mọ́ sí àwọn ìlú. Ní ìlú kọ̀ọ̀kan ni ó kó gbogbo oúnjẹ tí wọ́n gbìn ní àyíká ìlú wọn sí.
And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.
49 Josẹfu pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà mọ́ bí iyanrìn Òkun; ó pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́ tí kò ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ mọ́ nítorí, ó tayọ kíkà.
So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.
50 Kí ó tó di pé ọdún ìyàn dé, Asenati ọmọ Potifẹra alábojútó Oni bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún Josẹfu.
And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.
51 Josẹfu sọ orúkọ àkọ́bí rẹ̀ ni Manase, ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti mú mi gbàgbé gbogbo ìdààmú mi àti gbogbo ilé baba mi.”
And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.
52 Ó sì sọ orúkọ èkejì ní Efraimu, ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run fún mi ní ọmọ ní ilẹ̀ ìpọ́njú mi.”
And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.
53 Ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ sì wá sí òpin ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti,
And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.
54 ọdún méje ìyàn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀, bí Josẹfu ti wí gan an. Ìyàn sì mú ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ tókù, ṣùgbọ́n oúnjẹ wà ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Ejibiti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní rí ipá ìyàn náà, wọ́n kígbe sí Farao. Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ bá Josẹfu, ẹ ṣe ohun tí ó bá wí fún un yín.”
And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.
56 Nígbà tí ìyàn sì ti tàn ká gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà, Josẹfu ṣí inú àká, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní ta ọkà fún àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí ìyàn náà mú gan an ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.
57 Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè sì ń wá sí Ejibiti láti ra oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ Josẹfu, nítorí ìyàn náà pọ̀ gidigidi káàkiri gbogbo ayé.
And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.
