Genesis 41 (BEO)

1Ode aduna asili, Felou da simasia ba:i. E da Naile Hano bega: lelebe dawa:i galu.After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

2Amalalu, bulamagau sefena bagade amo fesuale gala da hano yolesili, saga: ganodini gisi nanebe ba:i.when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

3Amalalu, bulamagau eno fesuale gala be geloga:idafa agoane, da hano yolesili eno bulamagau gadenene lelebe ba:i.After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.

4Amola bulamagau geloga:i da bulamagau sefena gala amo fane mai dagoi. Amalalu, Felou da nedigi.And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5E da bu eno golale, bu simasia ba:i. E da gagoma fage fesuale gala amo nabai, yoi amola noga:iwane ba:su gagoma da:i afadafa amoga legebe ba:i.but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6Amalalu, e da gagoma eno fesuale gala, amo foga fabeba:le, wadela:i amola faselai ba:i.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7Amalalu, faselai gagoma da misini, gagoma noga:iwane na dagoi. Felou da nedigili, amola amo da simasia ba:su fawane dawa:i galu.And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8Hahabe e da da:i dioiwane dawa:lalu. Amaiba:le, e da Idibidi bagade dawa:su dunu amola fefedoasu dawa: dunu huluane ema misa:ne sia:i. Ea simasia ba:i amo ilima olelei. Be amo ea bai ema olelemu da ilima hamedei.In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

9Amalalu, waini hano ouligisu dunu da Felouma amane sia:i, “Na da wali na wadela:i hou bu dawa:lala.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10Di da musa: bisili agi hamosu dunu amola na, anima ougi galu. Di da ani se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu amo ea diasu ganodini sanasi.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11Gasi afaega ani da simasia ba:i. Amo da bai hisu hisu galu.One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12Hibulu goi amo da se iasu diasu ouligisu dunu, ea hawa: hamosu dunu, da amogai esalu. Ania da ania simasia ba:su ema olelebeba:le, e da amo ea bai hisu hisu anima moloiwane olelei.Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us individually.

13Amalalu, ea hou olelei defele ba:i dagoi. Di da na musa: hawa: hamosu nama bu i dagoi be bisili agi hamosu dunu di da medole legei.”And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14Felou da Yousefe misa:ne sia:i. Ilia da e se iasu diasuga fisili, Felou ea diasuga oule misi. E da mayabo waga:ne, abula afadenene, Felouma doaga:i.So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, who was quickly brought out of the dungeon. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he went in before Pharaoh.

15Felou da ema amane sia:i, “Na da simasia ba:i be dunu huluane da amo ea bai hame dawa:. Dunu eno da nama adoi, di da simasia ba:su bai bagade dawa:.”Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

16Yousefe da bu adole i, “Nisu hame! Be Gode da amo ea bai noga:le olelemu.”“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

17Felou da amane sia:i, “Na da simasia ba:i agoane. Na da Naile Hano bega: lelebe dawa:i galu.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18Amalalu, bulamagau sefena bagade amo fesuale gala da hano yolesili, saga: ganodini gisi nanebe ba:i.when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

19Amalalu, bulamagau eno fesuale gala be sefena hamedafa, geloga:i agoane, da hano yolesili, heda:i. Bulamagau amo wadela:i defele na da Idibidi amo ganodini hamedafa ba:su.After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!

20Geloga:i bulamagau da bulamagau eno, sefena gala, amo fane mai dagoi.Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

21Be ilia da sefena bulamagau mai dagoi, amo dawa:mu da hamedei. Ilia bu noga:i hame amola geloga:i agoane ba:i. Amalalu, na da nedigi.When they had devoured them, however, no one could tell that they had done so; their appearance was as ugly as it had been before. Then I awoke.

22Amola na da simasia eno ba:i. Na da gagoma fage fesuale gala amo nabai, yoi amola noga:iwane da:i afadafa amoga legebe ba:i.In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.

23Amalalu, na da gagoma fage eno fesuale gala, amo foga fabeba:le, wadela:i amola faselai ba:i.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24Amola faselai gagoma da misini, gagoma noga:iwane na dagoi. Na da amo fefedoasu dawa: dunu ilima olelei. Be ilia da bai olelemu gogolei.”And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven plump ones. I told this dream to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.”

25Yousefe da Felouma amane sia:i, “Amo simasia ba:su aduna da bai afadafa olelesa. Gode da Ea fa:no hamomu dima olelei dagoi.At this, Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

26Bulamagau sefena gala fesuale da ode fesuale gala. Gagoma fage noga:idafa fesuale amola da ode fesuale gala. Bai da afadafa.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.

27Bulamagau geloga:i gala amola gagoma fage faselai fesuale gala da ode fesuale gala amo ganodini osobo bagade da ha:i bagade ba:mu.Moreover, the seven thin, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.

28Na da dima sia:i defele - Gode da Ea fa:no hamomu dima olelei.It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Ode fesuale amoga, ha:i manu legei Idibidi soge ganodini da bagadedafa ba:mu.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,

30Be amo fa:no ninia da ode fesuale gala amoga ha:i bagadedafa ba:mu. Osobo bagade da wadela:lesi dagoi ba:mu. Ode noga:iwane da gogolei dagoi ba:mu.but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will devastate the land.

31Ha:i da bagadeba:le, osobo bagade da se nabimu, amola ode noga:i da gogolei dagoi ba:mu.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.

32Gode da aduna olelebeba:le, E da amo hou hame afadenene, dafawanedafa hamomu, amo olelesa.Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.

33Amaiba:le, di da dunu afae amo bagade dawa:su dunu amola ba:la:lusu dawa: dunu amo soge ouligimusa: ilegemu da defea.Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Eno ouligisu dunu amola ilegemu da defea. Ode noga:iwane amoga, ha:i manu legei amoga biyale fifili, fifi afadafa Felou hi lamu da defea.Let Pharaoh take action and appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.

35Di ouligisu dunuma ilia da ode noga:iwane ganodini amo ha:i manu huluane lidili, diasu ganodini ligisili, noga:le ouligima:mu.Under the authority of Pharaoh, let them collect all the excess food from these good years, that they may come and lay up the grain to be preserved as food in the cities.

36Amo ha:i manu da ode wadela:i fesuale gala Idibidima misunu, amoga dunu ili mae bogoma:ne amo manu. Amasea, dunu da hame ha:ga bogogia:mu.”This food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine to come upon the land of Egypt. Then the country will not perish in the famine.”

37Felou amola ea ouligisu dunu da amo hou hahawane ba:i.This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.

38Felou da ilima amane sia:i, “Dunu eno da Yousefe ea hou baligimu ninia da hame ba:mu. Bai Gode Ea A:silibu da ea dogo ganodini esala.”So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”

39Felou da Yousefema amane sia:i, “Gode da amo hou dima olelei dagoi. Amaiba:le, dia dawa:su amola ba:la:lusu hou da dunu huluane ilia hou baligi dagoi amo ninia dawa:.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40Na da di Idibidi soge ouligima:ne ilegesa. Na fi dunu huluane da dia sia: nabimu. Dia hina hou da dunu huluane ilima baligimu. Na fawane, di da hame baligimu.You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”

41Di da Idibidi soge huluane ouligima:ne, na da dima ouligisu hina ilegesa.”Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Felou da ea lobo sogo gasisalasu (amoga ea gobele ga:su da dedei) amo gisa:i, Yousefe ea lobo sogo amoga gasisali. E da abula ida:iwane Yousefema idinigisi amola gouli sia:ine amo Yousefe ea galogoaga sisiga:le sanasi.Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck.

43E da ea No. 2 ‘sa:liode’ hosiga hiougi amo Yousefe da ahoanoma:ne, ema i. Amola ea dadi gagui dunu da Yousefema bisili asili, amane welalu, “Gasigama! Logo fodoma!” Amola Yousefe da Idibidi soge huluane ouligima:ne, ouligisu hina hamoi dagoi ba:i.He had Joseph ride in his second chariot, with men calling out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he placed him over all the land of Egypt.

44Felou da ema amane sia:i, “Na da Idibidi hina bagade. Be Idibidi soge ganodini, dunu huluane da dia sia: fawane nabimu.”And Pharaoh declared to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission, no one in all the land of Egypt shall lift his hand or foot.”

45E da Yousefema eno Idibidi dio asuli amo Sa:bina:de Bania. Amola e da Boudifela (ogogosu ‘gode’ One amoma gobele salasu dunu Hilioubalisi moilai bai bagadega esalu) amo idiwi A:sena:de, amo Yousefe lama:ne ema i. Amola, Yousefe da Idibidi soge huluane amoga lalu.Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph took charge of all the land of Egypt.

47Yousefe da ea lalelegei ode30amoga Felou (Idibidi hina bagade) amo ea hawa: muni hamosu. E da Felou ea diasua fi gilisisu fisili, Idibidi soge huluane amoga lalu. Ode noga:iwane amoga, ha:i manu legei da bagade ba:i.During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

48Amo huluane Yousefe da lale, moilai bai bagadega gaguli misini, amoga liligi ligisisua salasu. Ha:i manu soge moilai bai bagade sisiga:i dialu, amo ea ha:i manu fai e da amo moilai bai bagade ganodini sali.During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it.

49Widi amola gagoma bagadedafa laiba:le, Yousefe da amo ea defei ba:mu yolesi. Gagoma da sa:i amo hano wayabo bagade bega: diala, amo ea defei defele ba:i.So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.

50Ha: bagade da osobo bagadega mae doaga:le, Yousefe da A:sena:dema dunu mano aduna lai.Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51E amane sia:i, “Gode da na se nabasu na ada amola fi fisiba:le, amo E da na gogolema:ne fadegai dagoi.” Amaiba:le, e da ea magobo mano ema Ma:na:se (gogolema:ne hamosa) dio asuli.Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52E eno amane sia:i, “Gode da na se nabasu soge amo ganodini mano nama i.” Amaiba:le, e da ea magobo bagia mano ema Ifala:ime (manolali iaha) dio asuli.And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53Ode ida:iwane fesuale gala Idibidi soge ganodini da gidigi dagoi.When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54Amola ha:i bagade ode, Yousefe ea sia:i defele da mui. Soge huluanedafa da ha:i bagade ba:i. Be Idibidi soge ganodini, ha:i manu defele dialebe ba:i.the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.

55Idibidi dunu da degabo ha:i nabaloba, ilia da Felouma e da ilima ha:i manu ima:ne wei dagoi. Amalalu, e da ili Yousefema ha:i manu lama:ne masa:ne sia:i.When extreme hunger came to all the land of Egypt and the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, he told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”

56Ha: bagade da bu bagade ba:i. Soge huluane da ha: bagade ba:i. Amaiba:le, Yousefe da liligi legesu doasili, Idibidi dunuma widi amola gagoma bidi lai.When the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened up all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians; for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

57Osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da ha:i manu bidi lamusa:, Idibidi sogega Yousefema misi. Bai ha: bagade da osobo bagade soge huluane amoga doaga:i dagoi.And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
