Mose 1 41
1 Le ƒe eve megbe la, Farao ku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me be yetsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to.
It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
2 Tete nyi dami adre do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wonɔ gbe ɖum.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
3 Emegbe nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me, ke woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui, eye woƒe axaƒutiwo do. Woyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe nyinɔ dami adreawo gbɔ.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, undesirable and thin. They stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4 Nyi ɖikuawo lé nyinɔ damiawo mi! Tete Farao nyɔ!
Then the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Egayi alɔ̃ me kaba, eye wògaku drɔ̃e bubu. Azɔ ya la, ekpɔ bli adre siwo ʋã nyuie la le bliti ɖeka dzi.
Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
6 Enumake bli bubu adre gado ɖe bliti la dzi, ke esiawo ya meʋã kura o, eye ɣedzeƒeya na woyrɔ.
Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Bli yɔyrɔe siawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo! Farao ganyɔ, eye wòdze sii be drɔ̃e sɔŋ ko wonye.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 Esi ŋu ke, eye wòbu drɔ̃eawo ŋu la, etsi dzimaɖi ŋutɔ le nu si drɔ̃eawo ate ŋu aɖe afia la ŋu. Eyɔ afakalawo kple nunyalawo katã le Egiptenyigba dzi ƒo ƒu, eye wòlĩ drɔ̃eawo na wo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme o.
It came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled. He sent and called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Tete fia ƒe ahakula gblɔ na Farao be, “Egbe la, meɖo ŋku nye nu vɔ̃ dzi.
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
10 Ɣe aɖe ɣi va yi esi nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe mí ame eve ŋu, eye nède nye kple aboloƒola gaxɔ me le ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã ƒe mɔ me la,
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
11 nye kple aboloƒola míeku drɔ̃e gbe ɖeka le zã me.
We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 Míelĩ drɔ̃eawo na Hebri ɖekakpui aɖe, ame si nye ŋuwòdzɔlawo ƒe amegã la ƒe kluvi le gaxɔa me, eye wòɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí.
There was with us there a young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted for us our dreams. He interpreted for each of us according to his dream.
13 “Eye nu sia nu va eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe ene; nye ahakudɔ gaka asinye, wotso ta le aboloƒola nu, eye wotɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu.”
It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one he hanged.”
14 Farao ɖo du ɖe Yosef enumake. Woɖee le gaxɔa me kaba; eko ta, di awu bubuwo do alɔtsɔtsɔe, eye wòdo ɖe Farao ŋkume.
Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meku drɔ̃e aɖe le zã si va yi la me, gake ame siawo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe egɔme nam o. Ke mese be ètea ŋu ɖea drɔ̃ewo gɔme, eya ta mena woyɔ wò nam.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but there is no interpreter for it. But I have heard about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Nyemate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃e la gɔme le ɖokuinye si o, ke Mawu ya ate ŋu aɖe drɔ̃ea gɔme na wò!”
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
17 Ale Farao lĩ drɔ̃e la nɛ be, “Metsi tsitre ɖe Nil tɔsisi la to;
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
18 tete nyi dami siwo ƒe lãme nyo nyuie la do tso tɔsisi la me, eye wode asi gbeɖuɖu me le tɔsisi la to.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Ke nyi bubu adre do tso tɔsisi la me. Woawo ɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui; nyemekpɔ nyinɔ ɖiku mawo tɔgbi kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi o.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them, weak, very undesirable, and thin. I never saw in all the land of Egypt such undesirableness like them.
20 Nyi ɖiku siawo lé nyinɔ dami siwo do tso tɔsisi la me gbã la mi,
The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 eye emegbe la, wogaɖi ku glãŋuiglãŋui abe ale si tututu wonɔ tsã la ene, eye menyɔ!
When they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, for they were still as undesirable as before. Then I awoke.
22 “Eteƒe medidi kura hafi megaku drɔ̃e bubu o. Azɔ ya la, bli adre nɔ bliti ɖeka dzi; bliawo katã ʋã nyuie.
I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 Bli adre bubuwo gado ɖe bliti ma ke dzi, ke woawo meʋã o, ke boŋ woyrɔ.
Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang up after them.
24 Bli yɔyrɔawo mi bli ʋaʋãwo. “Megblɔ esiawo katã na nye afakalawo, ke wo dometɔ aɖeke mete ŋu ɖe wo gɔme nam o.”
The thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but there was none that could explain it to me.”
25 Yosef gblɔ na Farao be, “Gɔmeɖeɖe ɖeka koe le drɔ̃e eveawo si. Mawu nɔ nu si wòava wɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi la gblɔm na wò.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 Nyi dami adreawo kple bli ʋaʋã adreawo fia be le ƒe adre siwo gbɔna me la, nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 Nyi ɖiku adreawo kple bli maʋamaʋã yɔyrɔ adreawo fia be ƒe adre ƒe dɔwuame adze ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu abɔ la yome.
The seven thin and undesirable cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven thin heads scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
28 “Ale Mawu ɖe nu si wɔ ge wòala la fia wò.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
29 Nuɖuɖu abɔ ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi le ƒe adre gbãtɔ siwo gbɔna la me.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 Ke le ƒe mawo yome la, dɔwuame ava ƒe adre, eye enu asesẽ ale gbegbe be nuɖuɖu si bɔ tsã la avɔ, woaŋlɔ woƒe bɔbɔ kpɔ be le Egipte, eye dɔwuame agblẽ anyigba la dzi.
Seven years of famine will come after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will devastate the land.
31 “Dɔwuame la nu asesẽ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku edzi be nuɖuɖu bɔ kpɔ o.
The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.
32 Drɔ̃e eve siawo le nu eve fiam Farao; wofia be nya siwo megblɔ na mi la le eme va ge kokoko, elabena Mawu ɖo wo da ɖi, eye woava eme kaba.
That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
33 Susu si mado ɖa lae nye be Farao nadi nunyala gãtɔ kekeake le Egipte, eye nàtsɔe aɖo agbledede ƒe ɖoɖowo nu le anyigba blibo la dzi.
Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put him over the land of Egypt.
34 Mina Farao natia dɔdzikpɔla ɖe anyigba la dzi be woaxɔ Egipte ƒe nuŋeŋe ƒe atɔ̃lia ɖeka le ƒe adreawo me.
Let Pharaoh appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant years.
35 Woaƒo nuɖuɖuawo nu ƒu le ƒe nyui siwo gbɔna la me, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le duwo me na Farao,
Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, for food to be used in the cities. They should preserve it.
36 ale be nuɖuɖu nasɔ gbɔ ate ŋu akplɔ mí to ƒe adre siwo dɔwuame anɔ anyi le Egipte la me. Ne menye nenema o la, tsɔtsrɔ̃ ava anyigba la dzi.”
The food will be a supply for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in the land of Egypt. In this way the land will not be devastated by the famine.”
37 Farao kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo xɔ Yosef ƒe nyawo.
This advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Esi wode ŋugble tso ame si woahiã na dɔ sia ŋu la, Farao gblɔ be, “Ame kae ate ŋu awɔ dɔ vevi sia nyuie wu Yosef? Elabena enye ame si yɔ fũu kple Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ.”
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 Farao trɔ ɖe Yosef gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Zi ale si Mawu ɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme fia wò ko la, wòe nye nunyala gãtɔ le dukɔa me,
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
40 eya ta metsɔ wò ɖo dɔ blibo la nu. Nya sia nya si nàgblɔ la, woawɔ edzi le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Nye ɖeka koe aganye amegã na wò.”
You will be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 Ale Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Meto esia me tsɔ wò ɖo Egiptenyigba blibo la nu.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Tete Farao ɖe eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ le asi hetsɔ de na Yosef; edo aklala biɖibiɖi ƒe awu nɛ, eye wòde sikakɔsɔkɔsɔ kɔ nɛ.
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand. He clothed him with clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain on his neck.
43 Emegbe la, Farao tsɔ tasiaɖam si kplɔ fia tɔ ɖo la na Yosef, eye afi sia afi si wòyi ko la, ɣli ɖina be, “Midze klo!”
He had him ride in the second chariot which he possessed. Men shouted before him, “Bend the knee.” Pharaoh put him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Nye, Egipte fia, meka atam na wò be, ànɔ Egiptenyigba blibo la nu le go sia go me.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 Farao tsɔ ŋkɔ yeye na Yosef be Zafenat Paneah. Ŋkɔ sia gɔmee nye “Amewo ƒe agbeɖela, Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ tɔgbi ɖe ku kple agbe dzi.” Farao tsɔ nyɔnuvi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Asenat, eye wònye Potifera, ame si nye On nunɔla la, ƒe vinyɔnu na Yosef wòɖe. Ale Yosef zu ame xɔŋkɔ aɖe le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name “Zaphenath-Paneah.” He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 Exɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃ esi wòge ɖe Farao, Egipte fia ƒe dɔ me. Yosef dzo le Farao gbɔ, eye wòde asi tsatsa me le anyigba blibo la dzi.
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Vavã, le ƒe adre gbãtɔwo me la, nukuwo wɔ nyuie ŋutɔ le afi sia afi.
In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
48 Le ƒe mawo me la, Yosef de se be woatsɔ nuku ɖe sia ɖe si woaxa le Egipte la ƒe akpa aɖe ana dziɖuɖu, eye woadzra wo ɖo ɖe avawo me le du gãwo me.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put into each city the food from the fields that surrounded it.
49 Le ƒe adrea ƒe nuwuwu la, avawo yɔ, eye nuɖuɖu si wodzɔ na dziɖuɖu la sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke meganya akɔnta le eŋu o.
Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
50 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me, hafi dɔwuame ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ naɖo la, Asenat, Potifera si nye On nunɔla ƒe vinyɔnu la dzi vi eve na Yosef.
Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Ena ŋkɔ gbãtɔ be Manase si gɔmee nye “Meŋlɔ be.” Nu si Yosef di be yeafia lae nye be Mawu ve ye nu ale gbegbe be yeŋlɔ yeƒe ɖekakpuimefuwo kple yeƒe dzodzo le yewo de be.
Joseph called the name of his firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household.”
52 Ena ŋkɔ Via ŋutsu evelia be Efraim si gɔmee nye “Kutsetse,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu na metse ku le teƒe sia, afi si menye kluvi le.”
He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Ale ƒe adre siwo me nuɖuɖu bɔ le Egipte la wu enu,
The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 eye dɔwuame ƒe ƒe adreawo dze egɔme abe ale si Yosef gblɔe da ɖi ene. Nukuwo gblẽ le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la me, ke nuɖuɖu bɔ ɖe avawo me le Egipte.
The seven years of famine began, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 Dɔ de asi Egipte dukɔ la wuwu me. Woɖe kuku na Farao be wòana nuɖuɖu yewo. Eɖo wo ɖe Yosef gbɔ kple nya siawo be, “Miwɔ nu sia nu si wòagblɔ na mi be miawɔ la.”
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people loudly called on Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he says.”
56 Esi dɔwuame kaka ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi la, Yosef ʋu avawo, eye wòdzra nuɖuɖu na Egiptetɔwo, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le anyigba la katã dzi.
The famine was over all the face of the whole land. Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Eye amewo tso dukɔwo katã me va Egipte be yewoaƒle bli le Yosef gbɔ, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le xexea me katã.
All the earth was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
