Genesis 41
1 And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer,
Ikawa mwishoni mwa miaka miwili mizima Farao akaota ndoto.
2 And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe:
Tazama, alikuwa amesimama kando ya Nile. Tazama, ng'ombe saba wakatoka katika mto Nile, wakupendeza na wanene, na wakajilisha katika nyasi.
3 And loe, seuen other kine came vp after the out of the riuer, euill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stoode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer.
Tazama, ng'ombe wengine saba wakatoka katika Nile baada yao, wasiopendeza na wamekondeana. Wakasimama ukingoni mwa mto kando ya wale ng'ombe wengine.
4 And the euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke.
Kisha wale ng'ombe wasiopendeza na waliokonda wakawala wale waliokuwa wanapendeza na walionenepa.
5 Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly.
Kisha Farao akaamka. Kisha akalala na kuota mara ya pili. Tazama, masuke saba ya nafaka yalichipua katika mche mmoja, mema na mazuri.
6 And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them:
Tazama, masuke saba, membamba na yaliyokaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakachipua baada yake.
7 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame.
Masuke membamba yakayameza yale masuke saba mema yote. Farao akaamka, na, tazama, ilikuwa ni ndoto tu.
8 Nowe when the morning came, his spirit was troubled: therefore he sent and called all the soothsayers of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh tolde them his dreames: but none coulde interprete them to Pharaoh.
Ikawa wakati wa asubuhi roho yake ikafadhaika. Akatuma na kuwaita waganga na wenye hekima wote wa Misri. Farao akawasimlia ndoto zake, lakini hakuna aliyeweza kumtafsiria Farao.
9 Then spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day.
Kisha mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamwambia Farao, “Leo ninayafikiri makosa yangu.
10 Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker.
Farao aliwakasirikia watumishi wake, na kutuweka kifungoni katika nyumba ya kapteni wa walinzi, mkuu wa waokaji na mimi.
11 Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame.
Tuliota ndoto usiku huo mmoja, yeye na mimi. Kila mmoja aliota kwa kadili ya tafsiri yake.
12 And there was with vs a yong man, an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame.
Pamoja nasi kulikuwa na kijana Mwebrania, mtumishi wa kapteni wa walinzi. Tulimwambia na akatutafsiria ndoto zetu. Alitutafsiria kila mmoja wetu kulingana na ndoto yake.
13 And as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him.
Ikawa kama alivyotutafsiria, ndivyo ilivyokuwa. Farao alinirudisha katika nafasi yangu, lakini akamtundika yule mwingine.”
14 Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh.
Ndipo Farao alipotuma na kumwita Yusufu. Kwa haraka wakamtoa gerezani. Akajinyoa mwenyewe, akabadili mavazi yake, na akaingia kwa Farao.
15 Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Nimeoda ndoto, lakini hakuna wa kuitafsiri. Lakini nimesikia kuhusu wewe, kwamba unaposikia ndoto unaweza kuitafsiri.”
16 And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh.
Yusufu akamjibu Farao, kusema, “Siyo katika mimi. Mungu atamjibu Farao kwa uhakika.”
17 And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer:
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Katika ndoto yangu, tazama, nilisimama katika ukingo wa Nile.
18 And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe.
Tazama, ng'ombe saba wakatoka ndani ya Nile, wanene na wakuvutia, nao wakajilisha katika nyasi.
19 Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured.
Tazama, ng'ombe wengine saba wakapanda baada yao, dhaifu, wabaya, na wembaba. Sijawao kuona wabaya kama hao katika nchi yote ya Misri.
20 And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine.
Wale ng'ombe wembamba na wabaya wakawala wale ng'ombe saba na wanene.
21 And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake.
Walipokuwa wamemaliza kuwala wote, haikujulikana kama walikuwa wamewala, kwani walibaki wabaya kama mwanzo. Kisha nikaamka.
22 Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire.
Niliona katika ndoto yangu, na tazama, masuke saba yakatoka katika bua moja, jema na limejaa.
23 And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them.
Tazama, masuke saba zaidi, yaliyonyauka, membamba na yamekaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakachipua baada yake.
24 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me.
Yale masuke membamba yakayameza masuke saba mema. Niliwaambia waganga ndoto hizi, lakini hakuna aliyeweza kunielezea.”
25 Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
Yusufu akamwambia Farao, “Ndoto za Farao ni moja. Mungu amemwambia Farao kuhusu jambo analokwenda kulifanya.
26 The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame.
Wale ng'ombe saba wema ni miaka saba, na masuke saba mema ni miaka saba. Ndoto ni moja.
27 Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine.
Na wale ng'ombe saba wembamba na wabaya waliokuja baadaye ni miaka saba, na pia masuke saba membamba yaliyokaushwa na upepo wa mashariki itakuwa miaka saba ya njaa.
28 This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe.
Hilo ni jambo nililomwambia Farao. Mungu amemfunulia Farao jambo analokwenda kulifanya.
29 Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt.
Tazama, miaka saba yenye utele mwingi inakuja katika nchi yote ya Misri.
30 Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land:
Na miaka saba ya njaa itakuja baada yake, na utele wote katika nchi ya Misri utasahaulika, na njaa itaiaribu nchi.
31 Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great.
Utele hautakumbukwa katika nchi kwa sababu ya njaa itakayofuata, kwa kuwa itakuwa kali sana.
32 And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it.
Kwamb ndoto ilijirudia kwa Farao sababu ni kwamba jambo hili limeanzishwa na Mungu, na Mungu atalitimiza hivi karibuni.
33 Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt.
Basi Farao atafute mtu mwenye maharifa na busara, na kumweka juu ya nchi ya Misri.
34 Let Pharaoh make and appoynt officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeeres.
Farao na afanye hivi: achague wasimamizi juu ya nchi. Na wachukue sehemu ya tano ya mazao ya Misri katika miaka saba ya shibe.
35 Also let them gather all the foode of these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the cities, and let them keepe it.
Na wakusanye chakula chote cha hii miaka myema ijayo na kuitunza nafaka chini ya mamlaka ya Farao, kwa chakula kutumika katika miji. Wakiifadhi.
36 So the foode shall be for the prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of Egypt, that the land perish not by famine.
Chakula kitakuwa matumizi ya nchi kwa miaka saba ya njaa itakayokuwa katika nchi ya Misri. Kwa njia hii nchi haitaaribiwa na njaa.”
37 And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants.
Ushauri huu ukawa mwema machoni pa Farao na machoni pa watumishi wake wote.
38 Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?
Farao akawambia watumishi wake, “Je tunaweza kumpata mtu kama huyu, ambaye ndani yake kuna Roho wa Mungu?”
39 The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee.
Hivyo Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Kwa vile Mungu amekuonesha yote haya, hakuna mtu mwenye ufahamu na busara kama wewe.
40 Thou shalt be ouer mine house, and at thy word shall all my people be armed, onely in the kings throne will I be aboue thee.
Utakuwa juu ya nyumba yangu, watu wangu watatawaliwa kwa kadili ya neno lako. Katika kiti cha enzi peke yake mimi nitakuwa mkuu kuliko wewe.”
41 Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Tazama, nimekuweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.”
42 And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke.
Farao akavua pete yake ya mhuri kutoka katika mkono wake na kuiweka katika mkono wa Yusufu. Akamvika kwa mavazi ya kitani safi, na kuweka mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwake.
43 So he set him vpon the best charet that hee had, saue one: and they cryed before him, Abrech, and placed him ouer all the land of Egypt.
Akataka apandishwe katika kibandawazi cha pili alichokuwa nacho. Watu wakapiga kelele mbele yake, “Pigeni magoti.” Farao akamweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
44 Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Mimi ni Farao, mbali na wewe, hakuna mtu atakayeinua mkono wake au mguu wake katika nchi ya Misri.”
45 And Pharaoh called Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwita Yusufu jina la Zafenathi Panea.” Akampa Asenathi, binti wa Potifera kuhani wa On, kuwa mke wake. Yusufu akaenda juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
46 And Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Yusufu alikuwa na umri wa miaka thelathini aliposimama mbele ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Yusufu akatoka mbele ya Farao, na kwenda katika nchi yote ya Misri.
47 And in the seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store.
Katika miaka saba ya shibe nchi ilipozaa kwa wingi.
48 And hee gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same.
Akakusanya chakula chote cha miaka saba iliyokuwako katika nchi ya Misri na kukiweka chakula katika miji. Akaweka katika kila mji chakula cha mashamba yaliyokizunguka.
49 So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number.
Yusufu akahifadhi nafaka kama mchanga wa bahari, kingi kiasi kwamba akaacha kuhesabu, kwa sababu kilikuwa hakihesabiki.
50 Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him.
Kabla miaka ya njaa kuingia Yusufu akapata wana wawili, ambao Asenathi, binti wa Potifera kuhani wa On, alimzalia.
51 And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold.
Yusufu akamwita mzaliwa wake wa kwanza Manase, kwani alisema, “Mungu amenisahaurisha shida zangu zote na nyumba yote ya baba yangu.”
52 Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction.
Akamwita mwanawe wa pili Efraimu, kwani alisema, Mungu amenipa uzao katika nchi ya mateso yangu.”
53 So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended.
Miaka saba ya shibe iliyokuwa katika nchi ya Misri ikafika mwisho.
54 Then began the seuen yeeres of famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the land of Egypt was bread.
Miaka saba ya njaa ikaanza, kama alivyokuwa amesema Yusufu. Kulikuwa na njaa katika nchi zote, lakini katika nchi yote ya Misri kulikuwa na chakula.
55 At the length all the lande of Egypt was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said vnto all the Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye.
Nchi yote ya Misri ilipokuwa na njaa, watu wakapiga kelele kwa Farao kwa ajili ya chakula. Farao akawambia Wamisri wote, “Nendeni kwa Yusufu na mfanye atakavyosema.”
56 When the famine was vpon all the land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
Njaa ilikuwa juu ya uso wote wa nchi. Yusufu akafungua ghala zote na kuuza chakula kwa Wamisri. Njaa ilikuwa kali sana katika nchi ya Misri.
57 And all countries came to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.
Dunia yote ikaja Misri kununua nafaka kutoka kwa Yusufu, kwani njaa ilikuwa kali katika dunia yote.
