Genesis 41
1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
O ruo mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, Fero rọrọ nrọ hụ onwe ya ka o guzo nʼakụkụ mmiri Naịl.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured cows and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Nʼebe ahụ, ọ hụrụ ehi asaa ndị si nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ehi ndị a buru ibu, maa mma. Ahụ ha na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ. Ha pụtara, bido ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
3 And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river.
Nʼatụfughị oge, ehi asaa ọzọ soro ha nʼazụ sikwa nʼosimiri Naịl na-apụta. Ma ehi ndị a tara ahụ nke ukwuu. Ha bụ nnọọ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Ha bịara guzo nʼakụkụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed cows ate up the seven well favoured and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
Mgbe ahụ, ehi ndị a bụ naanị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ bịara richapụ ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu. Mgbe nke a mere Fero kwolitere.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good.
Emesịa, Fero rahụkwara ụra ọzọ, rọọ nrọ nke ugboro abụọ, hụ ogbe ọka asaa ndị mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ogbe ọka ndị a buru ibu maa ezi mma.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and parched with the east wind sprung up after them.
Emesịa, ọ hụkwara ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ ka ha mịkwara nʼotu ukwu ọka ahụ. Ma ndị a ọ hụrụ kpọnwụsịrị akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ. Ọ bụ ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha kpọnwụọ.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Ogbe ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ loro ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu. Fero kwolitere hụ na ihe ndị a bụ nrọ.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Mgbe chi bọrọ, o nweghị udo na mmụọ ya. O ziri ozi kpọkọta ndị majiki niile, na ndị ọkachamara niile nke Ijipt. Fero kọọrọ ha ihe ọ rọrọ na nrọ. Ma ọ dịghị onye nwere ike ịkọwara ya ihe nrọ ya pụtara.
9 Then spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Ma nʼoge ahụ, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko jekwuuru Fero gwa ya sị, “Taa ka m chetara mmehie m.
10 Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and put me in custody in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:
Oge ahụ Fero were iwe megide ndị na-ejere ya ozi, o tinyere mụ na onyeisi ndị na-esi nri nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke dị nʼebe onyeisi ndị nche eze bi.
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Onye ọbụla nʼime anyị abụọ rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị, nrọ ọbụla nwekwara nkọwa nke ya.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
O nwere nwokorobịa onye Hibru anyị na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼoge ahụ. Ọ bụ ohu onyeisi ndị nche eze. Anyị kọọrọ ya nrọ anyị rọrọ. Ọ kọwakwaara anyị ihe nrọ anyị pụtara nye onye ọbụla nkọwa nke nrọ ya.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
Ihe niile mere dịka o si kọwara anyị. E nyeghachiri m ọnọdụ m, ma kwụba onye nke ọzọ nʼosisi.”
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came before Pharaoh.
Ya mere Fero ziri ozi ka a kpọọ Josef. E mere ngwangwa wepụta ya site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ. Mgbe ọ kpụchara afụọnụ ya, gbanwee uwe ya, ọ bịakwara nʼihu Fero.
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard it said of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
Fero gwara Josef sị, “Arọrọ m nrọ ma o nweghị onye ọbụla nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ m rọrọ pụtara. Ma anụla m na a kọọrọ gị nrọ a rọrọ, i nwere ike ịkọwa ihe nrọ ahụ pụtara.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Josef zara sị ya, “Enweghị m ike ịkọwa nrọ nʼike aka m. Ma Chineke ga-enye Fero ọsịsa udo dịka ọ chọrọ.”
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Mgbe ahụ, Fero malitere ịkọwara Josef nrọ ya. O kwuru sị, “Eguzoro m nʼakụkụ osimiri Naịl na nrọ m.
18 And, behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
Mgbe ahụ, ahụrụ m ehi asaa si na mmiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a mara abụba, ma gbaa agba. Ha bidokwara ịta nri nʼetiti ahịhịa riidi.
19 And, behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
Emesịa, a hụrụ m ehi asaa ọzọ ka ha sikwa nʼosimiri ahụ pụta. Ehi ndị a ejighị ahụ. Ha bụ ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ, jọọ njọ ile anya. Nʼezie, ahụtụbeghị m ụdị ehi dị otu a nʼala Ijipt niile.
20 And the lean and the ill favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows:
Ehi asaa ndị a jọrọ njọ riri ehi ndị ahụ buru ibu, bụ ndị bu ha ụzọ si nʼosimiri ahụ pụta.
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Ma mgbe ha risiri ehi ndị a, nri ahụ emeghị ka ụdịdị ha gbanwee. Ha dịkwa otu ha dị. Mgbe m hụsịrị ihe a, etetara m nʼụra.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good:
“Mgbe m rọrọ nrọ ọzọ, a hụrụ m ogbe ọka asaa nke mịrị nʼotu ukwu ọka. Ọka asaa ndị a buru ibu, dị mma ile anya.
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them:
Ogbe ọka asaa ọzọ mịkwara nʼelu ukwu ọka ahụ, ma ndị a kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ, fịkpọkwa afịkpọ nʼihi nʼikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ chakpọrọ ha.
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this to the magicians; but there was none that could make known the meaning of it to me.
Ma ọka ndị a fịkpọrọ afịkpọ lodara ọka asaa ndị ahụ mara mma. Akọọlara m ndị majiki ihe ndị a, ma ọ dịghị onye nʼime ha nwere ike ịkọwara m ihe nrọ ndị a pụtara.”
25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị Fero, “Nrọ abụọ Fero rọrọ pụtara otu ihe. Chineke esitela na nrọ ndị a gwa Fero ihe ọ na-aga ime.
26 The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Ehi asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụ afọ asaa. Ogbe ọka asaa ndị ahụ buru ibu bụkwa afọ asaa. Ọ bụ otu nrọ ahụ, ọ bụ ezie na ị rọrọ ya ugboro abụọ.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blighted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
Ehi asaa ndị ọzọ ahụ dị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ ndị pụtara mgbe ndị nke mbụ pụtachara bụ afọ asaa. Otu a kwa ogbe ọka ndị ọzọ fịkpọrọ afịkpọ nke ikuku si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ mere ka ha fịkpọọ bụ afọ asaa. Ha na-egosi afọ asaa mgbe oke ụnwụ ga-adị.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth to Pharaoh.
“Dịka m gwara Fero na mbụ, Chineke egosila gị ihe ọ chọrọ ime.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Afọ asaa na-abịa ga-abụ afọ asaa mgbe nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt niile.
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
Emesịa afọ asaa oke ụnwụ ga-eso ha. Mgbe ahụ, a ga-echefu ụba niile nke ala Ijipt. Ụnwụ a ga-ala obodo nʼiyi.
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
Agaghị echetakwa na e nwere oge ịba ụba ihe oriri nʼala a, nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ nke ga-eso ya ga-adị oke ukwuu.
32 And for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Ihe mere Fero ji rọọ nrọ a ugboro abụọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke ekpebiela na ihe ndị a ga-emezuriri. Chineke ga-emekwa ya nʼoge na-adịghị anya.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
“Ma ugbu a, ka Fero chọọ onye nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe. Ya mee ya onyeisi ọchịchị nʼala Ijipt niile.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
Ka Fero mee nhọpụta ndị nlekọta ala Ijipt. Ka e debe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke nri niile a ga-enweta nʼoge ahụ nri ga-adị ukwuu nʼala Ijipt.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Ka ha kpokọtaa nri niile ga-adị nʼoge ịba ụba nke ihe oriri, nke ga-adị nʼafọ ndị a na-abịa. Ka ha kpokọta ha nʼụlọ ichebe nri nke ga-adị nʼokpuru ọchịchị Fero. Ka ọ bụrụ nri e debere nʼobodo dị iche iche.
36 And that food shall be for reserve for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land may not perish through the famine.
A ga-echebe nri ndị a nke ọma maka ndị bi nʼala a, ka ọ bụrụ nri a ga-eri nʼime afọ asaa ndị ahụ nke ụnwụ ga-adị nʼala Ijipt, ka ụnwụ ghara ibibi ala a.”
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Ntụpụta ahụ dị mma nʼanya Fero na ndịisi ọchịchị ya.
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a man as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Fero jụrụ ndịisi ọchịchị ya, “Anyị ga-achọtali onye ọzọ dịka nwoke a, onye mmụọ nke Chineke dị nʼime ya?”
39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Ya mere Fero tụgharịrị sị Josef, “Ebe Chineke kpugheere gị ihe ndị a, o nweghị onye ọzọ nwere ezi nghọta na amamihe dịka gị.
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
Gị onwe gị ga-abụ onye na-elekọta ụlọeze m. Ndị m niile ga-erube isi nʼiwu ọbụla i nyere. Ọ bụ naanị nʼocheeze ka m ga-eji dị ukwuu karịa gị.”
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Fero gwara Josef, “Lee, emeela m gị onye nlekọta ala Ijipt niile.”
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
Mgbe ahụ, Fero gbapụtara mgbaaka eze ya gbanye ya Josef nʼaka. O yikwasịkwara Josef uwe e ji ezi akwa ọcha duo, nyanye ya ihe ịnya nʼolu nke e ji ọlaedo kpụọ.
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
O mere ka ọ nyaa ịnyịnya ụgbọ ya nke abụọ. Ndị oti mkpu na-etikwa nʼihu ya, “Gbuonụ ikpere nʼala.” Otu a ka Fero si mee Josef onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Fero gwakwara Josef sị, “Ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Fero! O nweghị onye ọbụla ga-ewelita aka maọbụ ụkwụ ya nʼala Ijipt niile ma ọ bụghị site nʼike i nyere ya.”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him for a wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went over all the land of Egypt.
Fero gụrụ Josef aha Zafenat-Pania. Ọ kpọnyekwara ya, Asenat, nwa Pọtifera, onye nchụaja obodo a na-akpọ On, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya. Josef bịara gazuo ala Ijipt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Josef gbara iri afọ atọ mgbe o bidoro iguzo nʼihu Fero eze Ijipt. O si nʼihu Fero pụọ, malite ijegharị ebe niile nʼala Ijipt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Nʼafọ asaa ahụ nke a na-eriju afọ, ala mepụtara nri nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu.
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was surrounding every city, he laid up in the same.
Nʼime afọ asaa ndị a nke nri juru ebe niile nʼIjipt, Josef chịkọtara nri niile nke si nʼubi, ma chekwaa ha nʼụlọ e wuru maka iche nri nʼobodo niile ahụ. Nʼobodo ọbụla, ka ọ na-etinye ihe oriri nke si nʼubi gbara ya gburugburu.
49 And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he finished numbering; for it was without number.
Josef chekwara ọka dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka aja dị nʼakụkụ osimiri. A kwụsịrị ịgụ ha ọnụ nʼihi na ha hiri nne nke ukwuu nke na ha enweghị ọnụọgụgụ.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.
Tupu oge ụnwụ ahụ ebido, Asenat nwa nwanyị Pọtifera, onye nchụaja nke On, mụtara Josef ụmụ ndị ikom abụọ.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.
Josef gụrụ ọkpara ya Manase, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Chineke emeela ka m chefuo ahụhụ m niile, mekwa ka m chefuo ndị ezinaụlọ nna m.”
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Josef gụrụ nwa ya nke abụọ Ifrem. Ọ sịrị, “Nʼihi na Chineke emeela ka m mịa mkpụrụ nʼala nke ahụhụ m.”
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Afọ asaa nke ụba nri nke dịrị nʼala Ijipt mechara gabiga.
54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the famine was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Afọ asaa nke ụnwụ bidoro bịawa dịka Josef kwuru. Ụnwụ nọ nʼobodo niile, ma nʼala Ijipt niile nri dị.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
Ka agụ jidere ala Ijipt niile, ndị mmadụ tikuru Fero ka o nye ha nri. Ma Fero gwara ndị Ijipt niile, “Jekwurunụ Josef. Ihe ọbụla ọ gwara unu meenụ ya.”
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
Mgbe ụnwụ ahụ gbasara ruo nʼakụkụ niile nke ala ahụ, Josef meghepụrụ ụlọ ichebe nri niile bido iresi ndị Ijipt nri, nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼala Ijipt niile.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain; because the famine was severe in all lands.
Mba niile bịara Ijipt ịzụ nri site nʼaka Josef nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị njọ nʼụwa niile.
