< 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.
Pea hili ʻae taʻu kotoa ʻe ua, pea pehē, naʻe misi ʻa Felo: pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured cows and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
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 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.
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 the ill favoured and leanfleshed cows ate up the seven well favoured and fat cows. So Pharaoh 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 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, fat and good.
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 And, behold, seven thin ears and parched with the east wind sprung up after them.
Pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻo muimui ʻi ai ʻae fua koane ʻe fitu, naʻe kekena mo mate ʻi he matangi hahake.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
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 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.
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 spoke the chief butler to Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Pea lea ai ʻae tauhi lahi kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou manatu ki heʻeku ngaahi hala he ʻaho ni;
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:
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 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
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 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.
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 it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Pea talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au; ʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kia Felo ʻae tala fakafiemālie.”
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, 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, behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
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, 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:
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 the lean and the ill favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows:
Pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻe he fanga pulu tutue, ʻae ʻuluaki fanga pulu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe sino:
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.
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 I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good:
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 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them:
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 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.
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 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh 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 good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
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 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.
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 This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth to Pharaoh.
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 come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae taʻu mahu lahi ʻe fitu ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite;
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;
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 plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
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 the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
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 Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of 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 Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a man as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
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 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
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 according to thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the 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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Pea ʻi he taʻu mahu ʻe fitu naʻe fua lahi ʻaupito ʻae kelekele.
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.
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 Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he finished numbering; for it was without number.
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 to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to 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 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.
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 the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
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 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Pea naʻe ʻosi ange ʻae taʻu mahu ʻe fitu, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain; because the famine was severe in all lands.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ki ʻIsipite kia Siosefa ke fakatau: koeʻuhi naʻe lahi fau ʻae honge ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.
