< Genesis 41 >

1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
Nígbà tí odindi ọdún méjì sì ti kọjá, Farao lá àlá: ó rí ara rẹ̀ tó dúró ní etí odò Naili.
2 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
Nígbà náà ni màlúù méje jáde láti inú odò, wọ́n dára láti wò, wọ́n sì sanra, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko.
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:
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.
4 And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù, tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì gbé àwọn tí ó lẹ́wà tí ó sanra jẹ. Nígbà náà ni Farao jí.
5 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
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.
6 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
Lẹ́yìn wọn ni síírí ọkà méje mìíràn yọ, wọn kò yómọ, afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù.
7 And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
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.
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.
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.
9 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
Nígbà náà ni olórí agbọ́tí wí fún Farao pé, “Lónìí ni mo rántí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
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:
Nígbà kan tí Farao bínú sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi èmi àti olórí alásè sínú ẹ̀wọ̀n ní ilé olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́.
11 Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
Ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wa lá àlá, àlá kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ní ìtumọ̀ tirẹ̀.
12 There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
16 Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
Josẹfu dá Farao ní ohùn pé, “Kì í ṣe agbára mi, ṣùgbọ́n, Ọlọ́run ni yóò fi ìdáhùn àlàáfíà fún Farao ní ìtumọ̀ àlá náà.”
17 So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Ní inú àlá mi, mo dúró ni etí bèbè odò Naili,
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.
sì kíyèsi i, màlúù méje tí ó sanra tí o sì lẹ́wà jáde wá, wọ́n sì ń jẹ koríko ní tòsí ibẹ̀.
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:
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.
20 And they devoured and consumed the former,
Àwọn màlúù tí ó rù tí kò sì lẹ́wà sì jẹ àwọn màlúù tí ó sanra tí ó kọ́ jáde nínú odò.
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,
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.
22 And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
“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.
23 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
Lẹ́yìn wọn, àwọn méje mìíràn yọ jáde, tí kò yó ọmọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn ti rẹ̀ ẹ́ dànù tán.
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.
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.”
25 Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
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.
26 The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
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.
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:
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.
28 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
“Bí mo ti wí fún Farao ní ìṣáájú náà ni: Ọlọ́run fi ohun tí yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ han Farao.
29 Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
Ọdún méje tí oúnjẹ yóò pọ̀ yanturu ń bọ̀ wà ní Ejibiti.
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,
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.
31 And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
A kò ní rántí àsìkò ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ yanturu náà mọ́ nítorí pé ìyàn tí yóò tẹ̀lé e yóò pọ̀ púpọ̀.
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.
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.
33 Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
“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.
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,
Kí Farao sì yan àwọn alábojútó láti máa gba ìdámárùn-ún ìkórè oko ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ní àsìkò ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀.
35 That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
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.
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.
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.”
37 The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
Èrò náà sì dára lójú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀.
38 And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
Farao sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ǹjẹ́ a le rí ẹnikẹ́ni bi ọkùnrin yìí, nínú ẹni tí ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run ń gbé?”
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?
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,
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.
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.”
41 And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Mo fi ọ́ ṣe alábojútó gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Èmi ni Farao. Ṣùgbọ́n láìsí àṣẹ rẹ, ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ohunkóhun ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
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:
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.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
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.
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.
Ní ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀, ilẹ̀ náà so èso lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
48 And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
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.
49 And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
Josẹfu pa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọkà mọ́ bí iyanrìn Òkun; ó pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́ẹ́ tí kò ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ mọ́ nítorí, ó tayọ kíkà.
50 And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
Kí ó tó di pé ọdún ìyàn dé, Asenati ọmọ Potifẹra alábojútó Oni bí ọmọkùnrin méjì fún Josẹfu.
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.
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.”
52 And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
Ó sì sọ orúkọ èkejì ní Efraimu, ó sì wí pé, “Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run fún mi ní ọmọ ní ilẹ̀ ìpọ́njú mi.”
53 Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
Ọdún méje ọ̀pọ̀ oúnjẹ sì wá sí òpin ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti,
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
57 And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè sì ń wá sí Ejibiti láti ra oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ Josẹfu, nítorí ìyàn náà pọ̀ gidigidi káàkiri gbogbo ayé.
