1 Mosebog 41
1 Og det skete, der to Aar vare omme, da drømte Farao, og se, han stod ved Floden.
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 Og se, af Floden opsteg syv Køer, skønne af Udseende og fede paa Kød, og aade i Engen.
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Og se, syv andre Køer opstege efter disse af Floden, stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, og stode hos de andre Køer paa Bredden af Floden.
And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 Og de Køer, som vare stygge af Udseende og magre paa Kød, opaade de syv Køer, som vare skønne af Udseende og fede; saa vaagnede Farao.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Og han faldt i Søvn og drømte anden Gang, og se, syv Aks voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 Og se, syv Aks, tynde og svedne af Østenvinden, skøde op efter dem.
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Og de magre Aks opslugte de syv fede og fulde Aks; da vaagnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
8 Og det skete om Morgenen, da var hans Aand bekymret, og han sendte hen og lod kalde alle Spaamænd i Ægypten og alle de vise derudi, og Farao fortalte dem sin Drøm; men der var ingen, som udtydede Farao den.
It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Da talede den øverste Mundskænk til Farao og sagde: Jeg ihukommer i Dag min Synd.
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 Farao var vred paa sine Tjenere og lod mig sætte i Fængsel udi Huset hos den øverste for Livvagten, mig og den øverste Bager.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 Da drømte vi en Drøm i een Nat, jeg og han; vi drømte, hver efter sin Drøms Udtydning.
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 Og der var hos os en hebraisk ung Karl, en Tjener hos den øverste for Livvagten, og ham fortalte vi, og han udtydede os vore Drømme; hver efter sin Drøm udtydede han det.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 Og det skete, ligesom han udtydede os det, saa skete det; mig satte man i mit Sted igen, og ham hængte man.
And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."
14 Da sendte Farao hen og lod kalde Josef, og de lode ham straks ud af Hulen, og han lod sig rage og førte sig i andre Klæder og kom til Farao.
Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Da sagde Farao til Josef: Jeg drømte en Drøm, og ingen er der, som kan udtyde den; men jeg har hørt sige om dig, at naar du hører en Drøm, kan du udtyde den.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16 Og Josef svarede Farao og sagde: Det staar ikke til mig; Gud skal svare Farao godt.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Da sagde Farao til Josef: Der jeg drømte, se, da stod jeg paa Bredden af Floden.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 Og se, syv Køer opstege af Floden, fede paa Kød og skønne af Skikkelse, og de aade i Engen.
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Og se, efter dem opstege syv andre Køer, tynde og saare stygge af Skikkelse og magre paa Kød; jeg har ikke set saa stygge som dem i hele Ægyptens Land.
And look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
20 Og de magre og stygge Køer aade de syv første fede Køer.
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 Og der de havde opædt dem, kendtes det dog ikke paa dem, at de havde opædt dem, og de vare stygge at se til ligesom tilforn; og jeg vaagnede.
But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
22 Og jeg saa, der jeg drømte, og se, syv Aks, som voksede op paa eet Straa, fulde og gode.
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 Og se, efter dem skøde syv tørre Aks frem, som vare tynde og svedne af Østenvinden.
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24 Og de tynde Aks opslugte de syv gode Aks; og jeg har sagt Spaamændene det, men ingen kan udtyde mig det.
And the seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
25 Og Josef sagde til Farao: Faraos Drøm, den er een: Gud giver Farao til Kende, hvad han vil gøre.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 De syv gode Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv gode Aks, de ere syv Aar, det er een Drøm.
The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 Og de syv magre og stygge Køer, de ere syv Aar, og de syv tomme Aks, svedne af Østenvinden, skulle være syv Hungers Aar.
And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
28 Det er det Ord, som jeg har sagt Farao: Gud lader Farao se, hvad han vil gøre.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Se, der kommer syv Aar med stor Overflødighed i hele Ægyptens Land.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 Og syv Hungers Aar skulle komme efter dem, at al den Overflødighed skal glemmes i Ægyptens Land, og Hungeren skal fortære Landet.
But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,
31 Og der skal ikke vides af den Overflødighed i Landet for den Hunger, som kommer derefter; thi den bliver meget svar.
and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 Men at Farao har drømt igen anden Gang betyder, at det skal visselig ske af Gud, og Gud skal snarlig gøre dette.
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 Saa se nu Farao sig om efter en forstandig og viis Mand, som han kan sætte over Ægyptens Land.
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Dette gøre Farao, og han beskikke Tilsynsmænd over Landet og tage den femte Del af Ægyptens Land i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35 Og de skulle samle alle Haande Spise udi disse tilkommende gode Aar og sanke Korn under Faraos Haand til Spise, i Stæderne, og de skulle forvare det.
They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.
36 Og den Spise skal være beskikket for Landet til de syv Hungerens Aar, som skulle komme over Ægyptens Land, at Landet ikke skal ødelægges af Hunger.
That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
37 Og denne Tale var god for Faraos Øjne og for alle hans Tjeneres Øjne.
The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Og Farao sagde til sine Tjenere: Mon vi kunne finde nogen som denne, en Mand, i hvem Guds Aand er?
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
39 Og Farao sagde til. Josef: Efterdi Gud har ladet dig vide alt dette, da er ingen saa forstandig og viis som du.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 Du skal være over mit Hus, og alt mit Folk skal være dine Ord lydigt; alene ved Tronen vil jeg være større end du.
You will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
41 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Se, jeg har sat dig over alt Ægyptens Land.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
42 Og Farao tog sin Ring af sin Haand og satte den paa Josefs Haand og lod ham føre i kostelige Linklæder og hængte en Guldkæde om hans Hals
Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 og lod ham age paa sin anden Vogn, og de raabte for ham: Abrek; og han satte ham over hele Ægyptens Land.
And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire land of Egypt.
44 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Jeg er Farao; og uden din Villie skal ingen Mand opløfte sin Haand eller sin Fod i hele Ægyptens Land.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt."
45 Og Farao kaldte Josefs Navn Zafnath Panea og gav ham Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, til Hustru; saa drog Josef ud over Ægyptens Land.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through the land of Egypt.
46 Og Josef var tredive Aar gammel, der han stod for Farao, Kongen i Ægypten; og Josef gik ud fra Farao og rejste igennem hele Ægyptens Land.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Og Landet bar i Hobetal i de syv Overflødigheds Aar.
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
48 Og han samlede al Spise i de syv Aar, som vare i Ægyptens Land, og lagde Spise i Stæderne; hvad der voksede paa Markerne omkring hver Stad til Spise, det lagde han derudi.
And he collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
49 Saa samlede Josef Korn som Havets Sand, overmaade meget, indtil han lod af at tælle; thi der var ikke Tal derpaa.
Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
50 Og før Hungerens Aar kom, blev der født Josef to Sønner, hvilke Asnath, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On, fødte ham.
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Og Josef kaldte den førstefødtes Navn Manasse; „thi Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og alt min Faders Hus‟.
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
52 Og den andens Navn kaldte han Efraim; „thi Gud har gjort mig frugtbar i min Elendigheds Land‟.
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Og de syv Overflødigheds Aar endte, som vare i Ægyptens Land.
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 Og de syv Hungerens Aar begyndte at komme, som Josef havde sagt, og der var Hunger i alle Landene, men der var Brød i det hele Ægyptens Land.
Then the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 Der hele Ægyptens Land led Hunger, da raabte Folket til Farao om Brød; men Farao sagde til alle Ægyptere: Gaar til Josef, hvad han siger eder, skulle I gøre.
When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do."
56 Der Hungeren var i hele Landet, da oplod Josef alle Steder, hvor noget var, og solgte Ægypterne Korn; thi Hungeren tog Overhaand i Ægyptens Land.
So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Og fra alle Lande kom man til Ægypten for at købe hos Josef; thi Hungeren var meget svar i alle Lande.
And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
