And it fortuned at. ij. yeres end that Pharao dreamed and thought that he stode by a ryuers syde and that there came out of the ryver
2 de quo ascendebant septem boves pulchrae et crassae nimis et pascebantur in locis palustribus

3 aliae quoque septem emergebant de flumine foedae confectaeque macie et pascebantur in ipsa amnis ripa in locis virentibus
And him though that. vij. other kyne came vp after them out of the ryver euelfauored and leane fleshed and stode by the other vpon the brynke of the ryuer.
4 devoraveruntque eas quarum mira species et habitudo corporum erat expergefactus Pharao
And the evill favored and Ienefleshed kyne ate vp the. vij. welfauored and fatt kyne: and be awoke their with.
5 rursum dormivit et vidit alterum somnium septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque formonsae
And he slepte agayne and dreamed the second tyme that. vij. eares of corne grewe apon one stalke rancke and goodly.
6 aliae quoque totidem spicae tenues et percussae uredine oriebantur
And that. vij. thynne eares blasted with the wynde spronge vp after them:
7 devorantes omnem priorum pulchritudinem evigilans post quietem
and that the. vij. thynne eares deuowrerd the. vij. rancke and full eares. And than Pharao awaked: and se here is his dreame.
8 et facto mane pavore perterritus misit ad coniectores Aegypti cunctosque sapientes et accersitis narravit somnium nec erat qui interpretaretur
When the mornynge came his sprete was troubled And he sent and casted for all the soythsayers of Egypte and all the wyse men there of and told them his dreame: but there was none of them that coude interpretate it vnto Pharao.
9 tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister ait confiteor peccatum meum
Than spake the chefe buttelar vnto Pharao saynge. I do remembre my fawte this daye.
10 iratus rex servis suis me et magistrum pistorum retrudi iussit in carcerem principis militum
Pharao was angrie with his servauntes and put in warde in the chefe marshals house both me and the chefe baker.
11 ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium praesagum futurorum

12 erat ibi puer hebraeus eiusdem ducis militum famulus cui narrantes somnia
And there was with vs a yonge man an Hebrue borne servaunte vnto the chefe marshall. And we told him and he declared oure dreames to vs acordynge to ether of oure dreames.
13 audivimus quicquid postea rei probavit eventus ego enim redditus sum officio meo et ille suspensus est in cruce
And as he declared them vnto vs euen so it came to passe. I was restored to myne office agayne and he was hanged.
14 protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Ioseph totonderunt ac veste mutata obtulerunt ei
Than Pharao sent and called Ioseph. And they made him haste out of preson. And he shaued him self and chaunged his rayment and went in to Pharao.
15 cui ille ait vidi somnia nec est qui edisserat quae audivi te prudentissime conicere
And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I haue dreamed a dreame and no man ca interpretate it but I haue herde saye of the yt as soon as thou hearest a dreame thou dost interpretate it.
16 respondit Ioseph absque me Deus respondebit prospera Pharaoni
And Ioseph answered Pharao saynge: God shall geue Pharao an answere of peace without me.
17 narravit ergo ille quod viderat putabam me stare super ripam fluminis
Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: in my dreame me thought I stode by a ryvers syde and there came out of the ryver
18 et septem boves de amne conscendere pulchras nimis et obesis carnibus quae in pastu paludis virecta carpebant
vij fatt fleshed ad well fauored kyne and fedd in the medowe.
19 et ecce has sequebantur aliae septem boves in tantum deformes et macilentae ut numquam tales in terra Aegypti viderim
And then. vij. other kyne came vp after them poore and very euell fauored ad leane fleshed: so that I neuer sawe their lyke in all the lande of Egipte in euell fauordnesse.
20 quae devoratis et consumptis prioribus
And the. vij. leane and euell fauored kyne ate vpp the first. vij. fatt kyne
21 nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium sed simili macie et squalore torpebant evigilans rursum sopore depressus
And when they had eaten them vp a man cowde not perceaue that they had eate them: for they were still as evyll fauored as they were at the begynnynge. And I awoke.
22 vidi somnium septem spicae pullulabant in culmo uno plenae atque pulcherrimae
And I sawe agayne in my dreame. vij. eares sprynge out of one stalk full and good
23 aliae quoque septem tenues et percussae uredine oriebantur stipula
and. vij. other eares wytherd thinne and blasted with wynde sprynge vp after them.
24 quae priorum pulchritudinem devorarunt narravi coniectoribus somnium et nemo est qui edisserat
And the thynne eares deuowred the. vij. good cares. And I haue tolde it vnto the sothsayers but no man can tell me what it meaneth.
25 respondit Ioseph somnium regis unum est quae facturus est Deus ostendit Pharaoni
Then Ioseph sayde vnto Pharao: both Pharaos dreames are one. And god doth shewe Pharao what he is aboute to do.
26 septem boves pulchrae et septem spicae plenae septem ubertatis anni sunt eandemque vim somnii conprehendunt
The vij. good kyne are. vij yeare: and the. vij. good eares are. vij. yere also and is but one dreame.
27 septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentae quae ascenderunt post eas et septem spicae tenues et vento urente percussae septem anni sunt venturae famis

28 qui hoc ordine conplebuntur

29 ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnae in universa terra Aegypti
Beholde there shall come. vij. yere of great plenteousnes through out all the lande of Egypte.
30 quos sequentur septem anni alii tantae sterilitatis ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia consumptura est enim fames omnem terram
And there shall aryse after them vij. yeres of hunger. So that all the plenteousnes shalbe forgeten in the lande of Egipte. And the hunger shall consume the lande:
31 et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura inopiae magnitudo
so that the plenteousnes shall not be once asene in the land by reason of that hunger that shall come after for it shalbe exceading great
32 quod autem vidisti secundo ad eandem rem pertinens somnium firmitatis indicium est eo quod fiat sermo Dei et velocius impleatur
And as concernynge that the dreame was dubled vnto Pharao the second tyme it belokeneth that the thynge is certanly prepared of God ad that God will shortly brynge it to passe.
33 nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium et praeficiat eum terrae Aegypti

37 placuit Pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris eius

38 locutusque est ad eos num invenire poterimus talem virum qui spiritu Dei plenus sit
Than sayde Pharao vnto his seruavauntes: where shall we fynde soch a ma as this is that hath the sprete of God in him?
39 dixit ergo ad Ioseph quia ostendit Deus tibi omnia quae locutus es numquid sapientiorem et similem tui invenire potero
