Genesis 41
1 After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
Kane higni ariyo osekadho, Farao noleko lekni ochungʼ e bath aora Nael,
2 from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
kendo noneno dhok abiriyo mabeyo machwe kawuok ei aora kakwayo e kind odundu.
3 Likewise, another seven emerged from the river, filthy and thoroughly emaciated. And they pastured on the same bank of the river, in green places.
Bangʼ mano noneno dhok abiriyo mamoko maricho modhero kowuok ei aora Nael, kendo kochungʼ e bath mago mabeyo.
4 And they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
To dhok maricho kendo modherogo nochamo dhok mabeyo machwego. Eka Farao nochiewo.
5 slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
Nindo nochako otere mi ochako oleko lek machielo ni noneno wiye abiriyo mag cham machwe kendo beyo kochiek e tiangʼ achiel.
6 Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
Bangʼ mano wi cham moko abiriyo motho kendo ma yamb oro otwoyo nowuok ewi tiangʼno.
7 devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
Wiye cham abiriyo mothogo nomwonyo wiye cham abiriyo machwe ka. Eka Farao nochiewo, moyudo ni en mana lek.
8 and when morning arrived, being terrified with fear, sent to all the interpreters of Egypt and to all of the wise men. And when they were summoned, he explained to them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret it.
Kinyne gokinyi pache nochandore, kuom mano nooro mondo oluongne ajuoke duto kod jorieko duto mag Misri. Farao nonyisogi lekne, to onge ngʼato angʼata mane nyalo lokone tiend lekgo.
9 Then at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
Eka jatend jogam divai nowacho ne Farao niya, “Aparo kethona kawuono.
10 The king, being angry with his servants, ordered me and the chief miller of grain to be forced into the prison of the leader of the military.
Chiengʼ moro kane iyi owangʼ kod wan ma jotichni, kendo ne irwakowa e od twech kaachiel gi jatend joted makati e od jatend askeche.
11 There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
Waduto ne waleko lek otieno moro achiel, kendo lek ka lek ne nigi tiende.
12 In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
To ne nitie ja-Hibrania moro matin kodwa, jatich jaduongʼ askeche. Ne wanyise lekwa, kendo nolokonwa tiendgi, ka omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato tiend lekne.
13 Whatever we heard was proven afterwards by the event of the matter. For I was restored to my office, and he was suspended on a cross.”
Kendo notimore mana kaka ne olokonwa tiendgi kama: An niduoka e tija, to jatend joted makati nolierie yath.”
14 Immediately, by the king’s authority, Joseph was led out of prison, and they shaved him. And changing his apparel, they presented him to him.
Kane Farao owinjo kamano nooro wach mondo okelne Josef, kendo nokel Josef mapiyo nono koa e od twech. Kane Josef oselielo yie wiye kendo oloko lepe, nobiro e nyim Farao.
15 And he said to him, “I have seen dreams, and there is no one who can unfold them. I have heard that you are very wise at interpreting these.”
Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Nende aleko lek, kendo onge ngʼama nyalo loko tiende. To asewinjo ka iwacho ni ka iwinjo lek to inyalo loko tiend lek moro amora.”
16 Joseph responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
Josef nodwoko Farao niya, “Ok anyal time, to Nyasaye biro dwoki kaka odwaro.”
17 Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
Eka Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Ne aleko nine achungʼ e bath aora Nael,
18 and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
kendo dhok abiriyo mabeyo kendo machwe nowuok ei aora ka gikwayo e kind odundu.
19 And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
Bangʼ-gi dhok abiriyo mamoko maricho kendo odhero nowuok. Ne pok anenoe dhok maricho kendo modhero kamano e piny Misri duto.
20 These devoured and consumed the first,
Dhok abiriyo maricho kendo odherogo nochamo dhok abiriyo machwe kendo mabeyo mane okwongo wuok.
21 giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
To kata bangʼ kane gisechamogi, to onge ngʼato angʼata mane nyalo yie ni gin ema gichamo dhogo; ne ginenore modhero moloyo kaka ne gin mokwongo. Bangʼe ne achiewo.
22 I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
“Nachako aneno e lek wiye cham abiriyo mochiek maber kadongʼ e tiangʼ achiel.
23 Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
Bangʼ-gi ne achako aneno wi cham abiriyo motho kendo yamb oro otwoyo.
24 And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
Wiye cham abiriyo mothogo nomwonyo wiye cham abiriyo mochiek. Ne anyiso ajuoke, to onge ngʼato mane nyalo lokona tiendgi.”
25 Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
Eka Josef nowacho ne Farao niya, “Leknigo tiendgi achiel kendo gichalre. Nyasaye osenyiso gima oikore timo.
26 The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
Dhok abiriyo mabeyogo gin higni abiriyo, kendo wiye cham abiriyo mochiek mabeyogo bende gin higni abiriyo; giduto gin lek achiel kendo nyiso wach achiel.
27 Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
Dhok abiriyo maricho modhero mane obiro bangʼe nyiso higni abiriyo, kendo kamano e kaka wiye cham abiriyo motho ma yamb oro otwoyo; gin higni abiriyo mag kech.
28 These will be fulfilled in this order.
“En mana kaka awachoni ni Nyasaye osenyiso Farao gima obiro timo.
29 Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Higni abiriyo biro betie ma piny Misri duto nobedie gi yiengʼo ahinya,
30 After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
to bangʼ mano higni abiriyo moko nobedie mag kech kendo wi ji nowil gi higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri, kendo kech noketh piny.
31 and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
Higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo ok nopar, nikech kech mano luweno nobed malich miwuoro.
32 Now, as to what you saw the second time, it is a dream pertaining to the same thing. It is an indication of its firmness, because the word of God shall be done, and it shall be completed swiftly.
Gima omiyo lek nobiro ne Farao nyadiriyo en nikech Nyasaye osechano ratiro mar timo kamano. Kendo Nyasaye biro chope mapiyo.
33 Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
“Koro mondo Farao oyier ngʼat mariek kendo molony e gik moko duto motimo mondo okete jatend piny Misri.
34 so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile years
Farao nyaka ket jotend gwenge e piny Misri duto mondo ochoki achiel kuom abich mag chamb Misri kuom higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo.
35 that now have already begun to occur, be gathered into storehouses. And let all the grain be stored away, under the power of Pharaoh, and let it be kept in the cities.
Nyaka gichok kendo gikan e mier madongo chiemo duto moyudi e higni abiriyo mag yiengʼogo e bwo chik Farao.
36 And let it be prepared for the future famine of seven years, which will oppress Egypt, and then the land will not be consumed by destitution.”
Cham-go onego okan e kuonde keno mag pinyni, mondo obi otigo e higni abiriyo mag kech mabiro mako piny Misri, mondo mi kik kech keth piny.”
37 The counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
Parono nonenore maber ni Farao kod jodonge duto.
38 And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of the Spirit of God?”
Kuom mano Farao nopenjo jodonge niya, “Bende wanyalo yudo ngʼato moro machal gi ngʼatni, ma Roho mar Nyasaye ni kuome?”
39 Therefore, he said to Joseph: “Because God has revealed to you all that you have said, would I be able to find anyone wiser and as much like you?
Eka Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Nikech Nyasaye osenyisi wechegi duto, onge ngʼat man-gi ngʼeyo matut kendo riek ka in.
40 You will be over my house, and to the authority of your mouth, all the people will show obedience. Only in one way, in the throne of the kingdom, will I go before you.”
Abiro keti jatend od ruoth kendo joga duto biro winjo chikni kendo kom duongʼ mar ruoth ema nobed maduongʼ moloyi.”
41 And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
Kuom mano Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Ne, koro aseketi jatend piny Misri duto.”
42 And he took the ring from his own hand, and he gave it into his hand. And he clothed him with a robe of fine linen, and he placed a necklace of gold around his neck.
Eka Farao nogolo tere mar loch e lwete morwako e lwet Josef. Ne orwako ne Josef law mayom mar duongʼ miluongo ni bafta kendo orwako ne tigo mar dhahabu e ngʼute.
43 And he caused him to ascend upon his second swift chariot, with the herald proclaiming that everyone should bend their knee before him, and that they should know that he was governor over the entire land of Egypt.
Nomiyo oidho gach ruoth mar ariyo mar loch, kendo joritne nogoyo koko nyime kawacho niya, “Yawneuru e yo!” Kuom mano Josef noket jatend piny Misri duto.
44 Likewise, the king said to Joseph: “I am Pharaoh: apart from your authority, no one will move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Eka Farao nomiyo Josef teko kowachone niya, “An e ruoth, kendo onge ngʼama notim gimoro kata nodonji e piny Misri ma ok in ema iyiene.”
45 And he changed his name and called him, in the Egyptian tongue: ‘Savior of the world.’ And he gave him as a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And so Joseph went out into the land of Egypt.
Farao nochako Josef ni Zafenath-Panea kendo nomiye Asenath nyar Potifera jadolo mar On (ma nyinge machielo en Eliopolis), mondo obed chiege. Kendo Josef nowuotho e piny Misri duto.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions of Egypt.
Josef ne en ja-higni piero adek kane ochako tich mane Farao ruodh Misri omiye. Kendo Josef nowuok ir Farao mowuotho e piny Misri duto.
47 And the fertility of the seven years arrived. And when the grain fields were reduced to sheaves, these were gathered into the storehouses of Egypt.
E kinde mag higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo, piny nochiek ahinya.
48 And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every city.
Josef nochoko chiemo duto mane ochiek e higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri kendo okanogi e mier madongo. Nokano cham mochiek e puothe molworogi e dala ka dala maduongʼ.
49 And there was such a great abundance of wheat that it was comparable to the sands of the sea, and its bounty exceeded all measure.
Josef nokano cham mathoth mana ka kuoyo mane dho nam; ne githoth mane ok onyal kwano nikech negikadho akwana.
50 Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
Kane pok higni mag kech ochopo, Asenath nyar Potifera ma jadolo mar On nonywolone Josef yawuowi ariyo.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has caused me to forget all my labors and the house of my father.”
Josef nochako wuode makayo ni Manase kendo nowacho niya, “Ma en nikech Nyasaye osemiyo wiya owil gi chandruokna duto kod jood wuora duto.”
52 Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
Wuowi mar ariyo nochako ni Efraim kendo nowacho niya, “Ma en nikech Nyasaye osemiyo anya e piny mar chandruokna.”
53 And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
Higni abiriyo mag yiengʼo e piny Misri norumo,
54 the seven years of destitution, which Joseph had predicted, began to arrive. And the famine prevailed throughout the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
kendo higni abiriyo mag kech nochakore, mana kaka Josef nosewacho. Ne nitie kech e pinje mamoko, to piny Misri duto ne nitie chiemo.
55 And being hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh, asking for provisions. And he said to them: “Go to Joseph. And do whatever he will tell you.”
Ka kech nodonjo e piny Misri duto, ji noywak ne Farao mondo omigi chiemo. Eka Farao nonyiso jo-Misri duto niya, “Dhiuru ir Josef kendo utim gima owachonu.”
56 Then the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all of the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. For the famine had oppressed them also.
Kane kech koro oselandore e piny duto, Josef noyawo deche duto kendo nouso cham ne jo-Misri, nikech kech ne lich ahinya e pinyno Misri duto.
57 And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
Kendo pinje duto nobiro Misri mondo ongʼiew chiemo kuom Josef, nikech kech ne ngʼeny ahinya e piny mangima.
