Genesis 41
1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
Pea hili ʻae taʻu kotoa ʻe ua, pea pehē, naʻe misi ʻa Felo: pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
2 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake mei he vaitafe ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu naʻe matamatalelei mo sino lahi; pea nau kai ʻi he ngoue mohuku.
3 Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
Pea vakai naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo muimui ʻi ai ʻae fanga pulu matamata kehe ʻe fitu, naʻe matamata kovi mo tutue lahi, pea nau tutuʻu ʻo ofi ki he fanga pulu kehe ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
4 And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
Pea ko e fanga pulu matamata kovi mo tutue, naʻa nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fanga pulu matamatalelei, mo sino lahi. Pea ʻā ai ʻa Felo.
5 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
Pea toe mohe ia, pea misi ia ko hono tuʻo ua; pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu ʻi he kau pe taha, naʻe lahi mo lelei.
6 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
Pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻo muimui ʻi ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu, naʻe kekena mo mate ʻi he matangi hahake.
7 And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
Pea ko e fua vaivai ʻe fitu, naʻa nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fua ʻe fitu naʻe mālohi mo lelei. Pea; ʻā ai ʻa Felo, pea vakai, ko e misi pe ia.
8 And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
Pea pongipongi hake ai, naʻe mamahi pe hono laumālie; pea fekau ʻe ia ke ui ʻae kau fiemana kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo e kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻi ai: pea fakahā ʻe Felo ʻene misi kiate kinautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke ne faʻa fakahā hono ʻuhinga kia Felo.
9 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
Pea lea ai ʻae tauhi lahi kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou manatu ki heʻeku ngaahi hala he ʻaho ni;
10 The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
Naʻe tuputāmaki ʻa Felo ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ne tuku au ke fakapōpulaʻi, ki he fale ʻoe ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻa au mo e tangata taʻo mā.
11 Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
Pea naʻa ma misi ʻae misi ʻi he pō pe taha, ko au mo ia; naʻa ma misi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene misi.
12 There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
Pea naʻa mau ʻi ai mo e talavou ko e Hepelū, ko e tamaioʻeiki ki he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo; pea ma fakahā kiate ia, pea ne fakahā kiate kimaua hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ma misi, ki he tangata taki taha naʻa ne fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene misi.
13 And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
Pea naʻe hoko ia, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa naʻa ne fakahā; naʻa ne toe tuku au ki heʻeku ngāue, pea ne tautau ia.”
14 Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
Pea fekau leva ʻe Felo ke ui mai Siosefa, pea naʻa nau fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ʻomi ia mei he fale fakapōpula; pea naʻa ne tele kava, pea fetongi hono kofu, pea haʻu ia kia Felo.
15 And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Kuo u misi ʻae misi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga; pea kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻoku ke faʻa ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe misi ke fakahā ia.”
16 Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
Pea talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au; ʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kia Felo ʻae tala fakafiemālie.”
17 So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Naʻaku mamata ʻi heʻeku misi, pea vakai, naʻaku tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaitafe:
18 And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake mei he vaitafe ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu naʻe sino lahi, mo matamatalelei; pea naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngoue mohuku:
19 And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae fanga pulu kehe ʻe fitu, naʻa nau kovi mo matamata kehe, mo tutue ʻaupito, kuo ʻikai te u mamata ki he kovi pehē, ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite:
20 And they devoured and consumed the former,
Pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻe he fanga pulu tutue, ʻae ʻuluaki fanga pulu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe sino:
21 And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
Pea hili ʻenau kai ʻo ʻosi ia, pea naʻe ʻikai hano fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻenau kai ia; he naʻa nau matamata kovi ai pe, ʻo hangē ʻi muʻa. Pea u ʻā ai.
22 And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
Pea naʻaku mamata ʻi heʻeku misi, pea vakai, naʻe ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu ʻi he kau pe taha, naʻe lahi mo lelei;
23 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
Pea vakai, naʻe ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu naʻe mae mo manifi, mo mate ʻi he matangi hahake, naʻe tupu hake ki mui;
24 And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
Pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi fua lelei, ʻe he ngaahi fua mate: pea ne u tala ʻae meʻa ni ki he kau fiemana; ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke faʻa fakahā ia.”
25 Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
Pea talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Felo, “Ko e misi ʻa Felo, ʻoku taha pe: kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kia Felo, ʻaia ʻoku ne teu ke fai.
26 The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
Ko e fanga pulu lelei ʻe fitu ko e taʻu ia ʻe fitu: pea ko e fua lelei ʻe fitu, ko e taʻu ʻe fitu; ko e misi ʻoku taha pe.
27 And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
Pea ko e fanga pulu tutue mo matamata kovi ʻe fitu, naʻe tupu ki mui, ko e taʻu ia ʻe fitu: pea ko e fua ʻe fitu naʻe mate ʻi he matangi hahake, ko e taʻu honge ia ʻe fitu.
28 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo u lea ʻaki kia Felo; ko ia ʻoku teu ʻe he ʻOtua ke fai ni, kuo ne fakahā kia Felo.
29 Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae taʻu mahu lahi ʻe fitu ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite;
30 After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
Pea ʻe hoko mo ia ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoku honge; pea ʻe ngalo ʻaupito ʻae mahu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite; pea ʻe fakaʻosi ʻe he honge ʻae fonua;
31 And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻae mahu ʻi he fonua ni, ko e meʻa ʻi he honge ʻe hoko mo ia; koeʻuhi ʻe lahi ʻaupito ia.
32 And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hono fai ʻo tuʻo ua ʻae misi kia Felo; ko hono ʻuhinga kuo fakapapau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ni, pea ʻe fakahoko toʻotoʻo ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
33 Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
“Pea ko eni, ke kumi ʻe Felo ha tangata lelei, mo poto, ke fakanofo ia, ke pule ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
34 That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
Pea ke fai ʻe Felo ʻae meʻa ni, tuku ke fakanofo ʻae kau matāpule ki he fonua ni, pea ke vaheʻi mo toʻo hono vahe nima ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he taʻu mahu ʻe fitu.
35 That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
Pea tuku ke nau tānaki ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi taʻu lelei ko ia ʻoku haʻu, pea ke nau fokotuʻu ʻae koane ʻi he fekau ʻa Felo, pea nau maʻu ʻae meʻakai ʻi he ngaahi kolo.
36 And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
Pea ko e meʻakai ko ia ko e tokonaki ia ki he fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoe honge, ʻaia ʻe hoko ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite; ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e honge.”
37 The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
Pea naʻe lelei ʻae meʻa ko ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, mo e ʻao ʻo hono kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē.
38 And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
Pea pehē ʻe Felo ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “He te tau faʻa ʻilo ha tokotaha ʻo hangē ko eni, ko e tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?”
39 He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku lelei mo poto ʻo hangē ko koe:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
Te ke pule koe ki hoku fale: pea ʻe fekauʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lea: ko e nofoʻa fakatuʻi pe, teu lahi hake ai ʻiate koe.”
41 And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Vakai kuo u fakanofo koe he ʻaho ni, ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite.”
42 And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Felo hono mama mei hono nima, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he nima ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi kofu lelei, pea ne ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia.
43 And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
Pea naʻa ne tuku ia ke heka ʻi hono ua ʻoe saliote naʻa ne maʻu pea naʻa nau kalanga ʻi hono ʻao, Punou pea naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite.
44 And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, “Ko Felo au, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, te ne hiki hono nima pe vaʻe, ka ʻi hoʻo pule.”
45 And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
Pea ui ʻe Felo ʻae hingoa ʻo Siosefa ko Safinati Peanea: pea naʻa ne foaki kiate ia ʻa ʻAsinate, Ko e ʻofefine ʻo Potifela koe taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻOni, ko hono uaifi. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
Pea naʻe tolungofulu taʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite. Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa mei he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo ne ʻalu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
47 And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
Pea ʻi he taʻu mahu ʻe fitu naʻe fua lahi ʻaupito ʻae kelekele.
48 And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
Pea naʻa ne tānaki ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoe taʻu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi he kolo: ko e ngaahi meʻakai ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo kotoa pē, naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ki ai.
49 And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae koane ʻo tatau mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea naʻe tuku ʻene lau ia; he naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa lau ia;
50 And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
Pea naʻe tupu kia Siosefa ʻae foha ʻe toko ua ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae honge, ʻaia naʻe fāʻeleʻi kiate ia ʻe ʻAsinate, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Potifela, ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻOni.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Siosefa ʻae hingoa ʻo hono ʻuluaki, ko Manase; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua, ke u fakangaloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mamahi, mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
52 And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
Pea ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻo hono toko ua ko ʻIfalemi; he kuo ngaohi au ʻe he ʻOtua ke u monūʻia ʻi he fonua ʻo hoku tautea.
53 Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae taʻu mahu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
54 The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
Pea kuo hoko ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu ʻoe honge, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻa Siosefa pea naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻae honge ka naʻe ai ʻae mā ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
55 And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
Pea ʻi he hongea ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, naʻe tangi ʻae kakai kia Felo ki he mā: pea pehē ʻe Felo ki he kakai ʻIsipite; ʻAlu kia Siosefa; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakahā kiate kimoutolu, mou fai ia.
56 And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae honge ki he fonua kotoa pē; pea naʻe fakaava ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi feleoko, ʻo ne fakatau ki he kakai ʻIsipite; pea tupu ʻo lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
57 And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ki ʻIsipite kia Siosefa ke fakatau: koeʻuhi naʻe lahi fau ʻae honge ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.
