اَلتَّكْوِينُ 41
| وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلزَّمَانِ أَنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ رَأَى حُلْمًا: وَإِذَا هُوَ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
| وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ طَالِعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ حَسَنَةِ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَسَمِينَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ، فَٱرْتَعَتْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ. | ٢ 2 |
and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ أُخْرَى طَالِعَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ قَبِيحَةِ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَرَقِيقَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ، فَوَقَفَتْ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلْأُولَى عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ٣ 3 |
And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
| فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱللَّحْمِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ وَٱلسَّمِينَةَ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ. | ٤ 4 |
Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
| ثُمَّ نَامَ فَحَلُمَ ثَانِيَةً: وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ طَالِعَةٍ فِي سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ سَمِينَةٍ وَحَسَنَةٍ. | ٥ 5 |
And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ رَقِيقَةٍ وَمَلْفُوحَةٍ بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ نَابِتَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
| فَٱبْتَلَعَتِ ٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلسَّنَابِلَ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلسَّمِينَةَ ٱلْمُمْتَلِئَةَ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظَ فِرْعَوْنُ، وَإِذَا هُوَ حُلْمٌ. | ٧ 7 |
Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ أَنَّ نَفْسَهُ ٱنْزَعَجَتْ، فَأَرْسَلَ وَدَعَا جَمِيعَ سَحَرَةِ مِصْرَ وَجَمِيعَ حُكَمَائِهَا. وَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِرْعَوْنُ حُلْمَهُ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. | ٨ 8 |
And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلًا: «أَنَا أَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ خَطَايَايَ. | ٩ 9 |
Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
| فِرْعَوْنُ سَخَطَ عَلَى عَبْدَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَنِي فِي حَبْسِ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ أَنَا وَرَئِيسَ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
| فَحَلُمْنَا حُلْمًا فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ أَنَا وَهُوَ. حَلُمْنَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَعْبِيرِ حُلْمِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
| وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ مَعَنَا غُلَامٌ عِبْرَانِيٌّ عَبْدٌ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ، فَقَصَصْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَعَبَّرَ لَنَا حُلْمَيْنَا. عَبَّرَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ حُلْمِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
| وَكَمَا عَبَّرَ لَنَا هَكَذَا حَدَثَ. رَدَّنِي أَنَا إِلَى مَقَامِي، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَعَلَّقَهُ». | ١٣ 13 |
And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
| فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَدَعَا يُوسُفَ، فَأَسْرَعُوا بِهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ. فَحَلَقَ وَأَبْدَلَ ثِيَابَهُ وَدَخَلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «حَلُمْتُ حُلْمًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُهُ. وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ قَوْلًا، إِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ أَحْلَامًا لِتُعَبِّرَهَا». | ١٥ 15 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
| فَأَجَابَ يُوسُفُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَائِلًا: «لَيْسَ لِي. ٱللهُ يُجِيبُ بِسَلَامَةٍ فِرْعَوْنَ». | ١٦ 16 |
And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «إِنِّي كُنْتُ فيِ حُلْمِي وَاقِفًا عَلَى شَاطِئِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، | ١٧ 17 |
Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
| وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ طَالِعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ سَمِينَةِ ٱللَّحْمِ وَحَسَنَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ، فَٱرْتَعَتْ فِي رَوْضَةٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ بَقَرَاتٍ أُخْرَى طَالِعَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا مَهْزُولَةً وَقَبِيحَةَ ٱلصُّورَةِ جِدًّا وَرَقِيقَةَ ٱللَّحْمِ. لَمْ أَنْظُرْ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِثْلَهَا فِي ٱلْقَبَاحَةِ. | ١٩ 19 |
And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
| فَأَكَلَتِ ٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ وَٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلْبَقَرَاتِ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلسَّمِينَةَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
| فَدَخَلَتْ أَجْوَافَهَا، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ فِي أَجْوَافِهَا، فَكَانَ مَنْظَرُهَا قَبِيحًا كَمَا فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ. وَٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ. | ٢١ 21 |
and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
| ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَهُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ طَالِعَةٌ فِي سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ مُمْتَلِئَةً وَحَسَنَةً. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
| ثُمَّ هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سَنَابِلَ يَابِسَةً رَقِيقَةً مَلْفُوحَةً بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ نَابِتَةٌ وَرَاءَهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
| فَٱبْتَلَعَتِ ٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلسَّنَابِلَ ٱلسَّبْعَ ٱلْحَسَنَةَ. فَقُلْتُ لِلسَّحَرَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «حُلْمُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَاحِدٌ. قَدْ أَخْبَرَ ٱللهُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِمَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
| اَلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ، وَٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ. هُوَ حُلْمٌ وَاحِدٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
| وَٱلْبَقَرَاتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلرَّقِيقَةُ ٱلْقَبِيحَةُ ٱلَّتِي طَلَعَتْ وَرَاءَهَا هِيَ سَبْعُ سِنِينَ، وَٱلسَّنَابِلُ ٱلسَّبْعُ ٱلْفَارِغَةُ ٱلْمَلْفُوحَةُ بِٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ تَكُونُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ جُوعًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
| هُوَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمْتُ بِهِ فِرْعَوْنَ. قَدْ أَظْهَرَ ٱللهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
| هُوَذَا سَبْعُ سِنِينَ قَادِمَةٌ شِبَعًا عَظِيمًا فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
| ثُمَّ تَقُومُ بَعْدَهَا سَبْعُ سِنِينَ جُوعًا، فَيُنْسَى كُلُّ ٱلشِّبَعِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَيُتْلِفُ ٱلْجُوعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
| وَلَا يُعْرَفُ ٱلشِّبَعُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجُوعِ بَعْدَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ شَدِيدًا جِدًّا. | ٣١ 31 |
neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
| وَأَمَّا عَنْ تَكْرَارِ ٱلْحُلْمِ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَلِأَنَّ ٱلْأَمْرَ مُقَرَّرٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱللهِ، وَٱللهُ مُسْرِعٌ لِيَصْنَعَهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
| «فَٱلْآنَ لِيَنْظُرْ فِرْعَوْنُ رَجُلًا بَصِيرًا وَحَكِيمًا وَيَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
| يَفْعَلْ فِرْعَوْنُ فَيُوَكِّلْ نُظَّارًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَأْخُذْ خُمْسَ غَلَّةِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فِي سَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ، | ٣٤ 34 |
Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
| فَيَجْمَعُونَ جَمِيعَ طَعَامِ هَذِهِ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةِ ٱلْقَادِمَةِ، وَيَخْزِنُونَ قَمْحًا تَحْتَ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ طَعَامًا فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ وَيَحْفَظُونَهُ. | ٣٥ 35 |
And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
| فَيَكُونُ ٱلطَّعَامُ ذَخِيرَةً لِلْأَرْضِ لِسَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلْجُوعِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَلَا تَنْقَرِضُ ٱلْأَرْضُ بِٱلْجُوعِ». | ٣٦ 36 |
So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
| فَحَسُنَ ٱلْكَلَامُ فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفِي عُيُونِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ. | ٣٧ 37 |
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِعَبِيدِهِ: «هَلْ نَجِدُ مِثْلَ هَذَا رَجُلًا فِيهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ؟» | ٣٨ 38 |
and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
| ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «بَعْدَ مَا أَعْلَمَكَ ٱللهُ كُلَّ هَذَا، لَيْسَ بَصِيرٌ وَحَكِيمٌ مِثْلَكَ. | ٣٩ 39 |
So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
| أَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَى بَيْتِي، وَعَلَى فَمِكَ يُقَبِّلُ جَمِيعُ شَعْبِي إِلَا إِنَّ ٱلْكُرْسِيَّ أَكُونُ فِيهِ أَعْظَمَ مِنْكَ». | ٤٠ 40 |
Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «ٱنْظُرْ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٤١ 41 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
| وَخَلَعَ فِرْعَوْنُ خَاتِمَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَدِ يُوسُفَ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ ثِيَابَ بُوصٍ، وَوَضَعَ طَوْقَ ذَهَبٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ، | ٤٢ 42 |
So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
| وَأَرْكَبَهُ فِي مَرْكَبَتِهِ ٱلْثَّانِيَةِ، وَنَادَوْا أَمَامَهُ «ٱرْكَعُوا». وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٣ 43 |
and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
| وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «أَنَا فِرْعَوْنُ. فَبِدُونِكَ لَا يَرْفَعُ إِنْسَانٌ يَدَهُ وَلَا رِجْلَهُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». | ٤٤ 44 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
| وَدَعَا فِرْعَوْنُ ٱسْمَ يُوسُفَ «صَفْنَاتَ فَعْنِيحَ»، وَأَعْطَاهُ أَسْنَاتَ بِنْتَ فُوطِي فَارَعَ كَاهِنِ أُونَ زَوْجَةً. فَخَرَجَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
| وَكَانَ يُوسُفُ ٱبْنَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً لَمَّا وَقَفَ قُدَّامَ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ. فَخَرَجَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَٱجْتَازَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٤٦ 46 |
Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
| وَأَثْمَرَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فِي سَبْعِ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ بِحُزَمٍ. | ٤٧ 47 |
And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
| فَجَمَعَ كُلَّ طَعَامِ ٱلسَّبْعِ سِنِينَ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَجَعَلَ طَعَامًا فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ. طَعَامَ حَقْلِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلَّذِي حَوَالَيْهَا جَعَلَهُ فِيهَا. | ٤٨ 48 |
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
| وَخَزَنَ يُوسُفُ قَمْحًا كَرَمْلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، كَثِيرًا جِدًّا حَتَّى تَرَكَ ٱلْعَدَدَ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَدَدٌ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
| وَوُلِدَ لِيُوسُفَ ٱبْنَانِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ سَنَةُ ٱلْجُوعِ، وَلَدَتْهُمَا لَهُ أَسْنَاتُ بِنْتُ فُوطِي فَارَعَ كَاهِنِ أُونَ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
| وَدَعَا يُوسُفُ ٱسْمَ ٱلْبِكْرِ «مَنَسَّى» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَنْسَانِي كُلَّ تَعَبِي وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِي». | ٥١ 51 |
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
| وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِى «أَفْرَايِمَ» قَائِلًا: «لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ جَعَلَنِي مُثْمِرًا فِي أَرْضِ مَذَلَّتِي». | ٥٢ 52 |
And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
| ثُمَّ كَمِلَتْ سَبْعُ سِنِي ٱلشِّبَعِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
| وَٱبْتَدَأَتْ سَبْعُ سِنِي ٱلْجُوعِ تَأْتِي كَمَا قَالَ يُوسُفُ، فَكَانَ جُوعٌ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ. وَأَمَّا جَمِيعُ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ فَكَانَ فِيهَا خُبْزٌ. | ٥٤ 54 |
and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
| وَلَمَّا جَاعَتْ جَمِيعُ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَصَرَخَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْخُبْزِ، قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِكُلِّ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ: «ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى يُوسُفَ، وَٱلَّذِي يَقُولُ لَكُمُ ٱفْعَلُوا». | ٥٥ 55 |
Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
| وَكَانَ ٱلْجُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَفَتَحَ يُوسُفُ جَمِيعَ مَا فِيهِ طَعَامٌ وَبَاعَ لِلْمِصْرِيِّينَ. وَٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٥٦ 56 |
Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
| وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى مِصْرَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ لِتَشْتَرِيَ قَمْحًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ كَانَ شَدِيدًا فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٥٧ 57 |
All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
