Genesis 41 (JUM)

1Aŋ wääna yuungu kä yew ḍakkene kä ye yätkä Parahuun läkkä ogo ike yuddee wii yen mä Nïïl ḍok.After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

2Aŋ wïca däk kä ŋaṭükel kääjin woo wii mä Nïïl jï biilken ŋeraŋ aŋ a caagin aŋ ämï biiruŋ gïtï.when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

3Aŋ ŋuca däk kä ŋaṭükel kääjin woo wii mä Nïïl jï biilken yejgaŋ aŋ ṭomgaŋ, aŋ yuuttu meken yaaka wii ḍok gurken ti yaakca.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.

4Aŋ däk yaaka biilken yejgaŋ aŋ ṭomgaŋ yaakka, däk yaaka biilken ŋeraŋ, aŋ a caagin kä ŋaṭükel yaakka ami. Aŋ Parahuun cuuyin nïïnkä ti.And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5Aŋ ŋuccin oodi, aŋ ŋuccin läkkä ogo päk witken kä ŋaṭükel ḍoŋgaŋ aŋ ŋeraŋ yülü woo meen keellä ti.but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6Aŋ ŋuca päk witken kä ŋaṭükel puurin woo lïwgaŋ aŋ ïïwï jommu woo teettälaŋ.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7Aŋ päk witken yaaka lïwgaŋ yaakka, meken yaaka ŋeraŋ kä ŋaṭükel ḍoŋgaŋ yaakka ladi. Aŋ Parahuun cuuyin nïïnkä ti, aŋ ŋïññe a lääggï.And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8Aŋ kä tïṇṇäŋänä aŋŋi ike cuuyin wiñe a ḍïïktïnï. Aŋ ike wäädin bärkene muure yek mä Macïr ke ŋäjjoni, aŋ päkki Parahuun lääggï yeeke. Aŋ baati m'ana lïïṭït ike ŋüülkütü gïtï ye.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.

9Aŋ wiñ yen lijoni määk Parahuun kiinne ogo, “Yiñ yeeni paynä tiññaŋ.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10Aŋ wääna pennii kä wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï ti ke ika ina, ikoon äccoon gaŋgar än yen ḍuuŋgon tïïconi jï.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11Aŋ wïïrïn keellä ti ikoon ti daa mäŋkalaŋ cääyge lääggï, aŋ lääggï yaŋkalaŋ cääyge ŋüüllen gïtï a pare.One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12Aŋ wïca durñu yen mä Iburu kalaŋ ke ikoon gaŋgar jï, ike a ñuugulo yen ḍuuŋgon tïïconi. Aŋ wääna nüütkonon daa kä lääggï yooko ye, i ŋüülgonon kä gïtï. Aŋ mäŋkalaŋ daa lääggï yeeke ŋüülgeneeda kä gïtï.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.

13Aŋ daa wäättä bata yaana daa ŋüülgonon kä gïtï ye, ïkï ika ḍuukkaa nänṭä yeeni ti, aŋ wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï ŋaappi ñaalok.”And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14Aŋ Parahuun Yuucip bärkene aŋ äbi me woo gaŋgar jï kä bïraŋ. Aŋ jiike ŋette woo, aŋ ääkcin buruŋgu, aŋ äätin Parahuun ñome ti.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.

15Aŋ kiini Parahuun ogo, “Ika cääyga lääggï, aŋ baati m'ana ika ŋüülga gïtï ye. Tiiŋŋä me jayok kä ïkï ogo naana ïkï tiiŋŋeey lääggï ye, i lïïljey ŋüüljey gïtï.”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.”

16Aŋ Yuucip Parahuun luuŋŋe ogo, “Batta a ika a Jooŋ ken ïkï bi iñey luuŋŋu ŋïïbbïn jonü ti.”“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

17Aŋ Parahuun Yuucip kiinne ogo, “Lääggï yeeki ti ika yuddu wii yen mä Nïïl ḍok,Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18aŋ wïca däk kä ŋaṭükel kääjin woo wii mä Nïïl jï a caagin aŋ biilken ŋeraŋ aŋ ämï biiruŋ gïtï.when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

19Aŋ ŋuca däk kä ŋaṭükel kääjin woo bämaŋ aŋ biilken yejgaŋ kä yaac aŋ ṭomgaŋ. Aŋ däk yaacken bata yaakka aŋan batta agä yoorgin ŋommañ mä Macïr jï.After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!

20Aŋ däk ṭoomken yaacken, däk caakken yaaka kä ŋaṭükel ïïjïn woo yaakka ami.Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

21Aŋ wääna meken amene daa ye, batta ŋïctä me ogo ämin meken, kä yaana iken iiñcete biilken yejgene yejok bata wääna ina, aŋ ika cuuynu.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.

22“Aŋ ika cäänna yuṭṭu lääggï yeeki ti päk witken kä ŋaṭükel yülü woo meen keellä ti, ḍoŋgaŋ aŋ ŋeraŋ.In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.

23Aŋ ŋuca päk witken kä ŋaṭükel puurin woo lïwgaŋ aŋ ïïwï jommu woo teettälaŋ.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24Aŋ päk witken yaaka lïwgaŋ yaakka, meken yaaka kä ŋaṭükel ŋeraŋ ye ladi. Aŋ päkkänä wäädin aŋ baati yaana ika ŋüülgada gïtï ye.”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.”

25Aŋ Yuucip Parahuun kiinne ogo, “Lääggï yüükü a keelok. Aŋ Jooŋ ïkï nüütkeney gin'a bi naŋe ye.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.

26Däk ŋerkä yaaka kä ŋaṭükel yaakka a yuungu kä ŋaṭükel, aŋ päk witken yaaka kä ŋaṭükel ye a yuungu kä ŋaṭükel. Aŋ lääggï a yek keelkä.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.

27Aŋ däk ṭoomken yaaka biilken yejgaŋ kä ŋaṭükel yaaka kääjin woo meken ŋätin yaakka, a yuungu kä ŋaṭükel. Aŋ päk witken yaaka kä ŋaṭükel waŋgen baati yaaka ïïwï jommu mä teettälaŋ yaakka, cäänna a yuungu kä ŋaṭükel yek käñ.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.

28Bata yaana nüütkenenii kä ye, Jooŋ ïkï nüütkeney gin'a bi naŋe ye.It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Aŋ yuungu kä ŋaṭükel burru mooye bi ätä ŋommañ mä Macïr jï muure.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,

30Aŋ wäättan yuungu kä ŋaṭükel käñ bi ätä, aŋ burru mooye yaanna bi wiirgä me Macïr jï, aŋ käñ baan bi ḍüüme gïtï.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.

31Aŋ burru mooye bi wiirgä me baan jï kä yaana käñ yaana äätïdï ye bi yaajee kä yaac ye.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.

32Ŋoccin gïtï lääggï yüükü yaakka a yuutin kä Jooŋ, aŋ bi naŋe kä bïraŋ.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.

33“Aŋ tiññaŋ dalä ïkï wäkä oon yaana a yuṭo aŋ a ŋäjjo ye, aŋ ḍoocci a tïïco yen ŋommañ mä Macïr.Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Aŋ cäänna wäkä ḍüṭoni kujit kä keelok duuc ti yek giidä ŋommañ mä Macïr yuungu yaaka kä ŋaṭükel a yek burru mooye yaakka ti.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.

35Aŋ dalä iken päk muure ḍülgü yuungu ŋerken yaaka äätä yaakka ti, aŋ ḍoocunu mügdïn yüünü ti, aŋ ḍoocunu me bänkä mäyken gïtï aŋ tïïcä me wäätï a ammani.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.

36Aŋ päk yaakka bi ḍoocunu me a yek baan, kä yuungu yaaka äätä kä ŋaṭükel a yek käñ Macïr jï ye, nuŋko ŋana baan ḍüümte daa gïtï käñ ye.”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.”

37Aŋ waŋ yaanna Parahuun ke ḍuuŋkulen yeeke muure ñaappe juuggin.This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.

38Aŋ Parahuun ḍuuŋkulen yeeke taaññe ogo, “Ïkïïn bi käñïn oon bata yaanni aŋŋi, yaana cääyge wääktäŋ Jooŋ ye?”So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”

39Aŋ Parahuun Yuucip kiinne ogo, “Baati m'ana a yuṭo aŋ a ŋäjjo bata ïkï aŋŋi ye, kä yaana Jooŋ nüütkeney kä waak yaakka muure ye.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40Aŋ ïkï bi ḍooceni tïïcä nänṭä yeeni, aŋ mä yeeki muure ïkï bi tiiŋkiti eennä yüünü. Aŋ a ika pari ken bi tälätäl ïkï ti kä yaana agä yätkä ye.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.”

41Tiññaŋ ïkï waŋŋeni agä men mooye ŋommañ mä Macïr jï muure.”Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Aŋ Parahuun baacbaac yen tiikonle yeene äbene woo ïnte ti aŋ iiŋkene Yuucip ïnte ti, aŋ iiŋkene burŋu ŋerconḍe yeene aŋ dira tiilgä iiŋkene Yuucip ḍoŋe ti.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.

43Aŋ taappe teebälaŋ bagal yeene ti yaana bäätcïdï mügdïn yeene ti ye, aŋ me yaajjin ogo, “Ḍüŋje ïñï!” Aŋ ḍoocce a mügdo Macïr jï muure.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.

44Aŋ Parahuun Yuucip kiinne ogo, “Ika agä Parahuun, baati m'ana bi ïṇte ke kïye ääre ñaalok ŋommañ mä Macïr jï muure ye, naana ïkï batta agä jaajjïnï ye.”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.”

45Aŋ Parahuun Yuucip iññe yäṇtäŋ mä Macïr ogo Capanaatpaniya, aŋ iññe iiŋ battä me ogo Acanaat ṭuulle Patipeera män daaŋ yen mä Uun. Aŋ Yuucip ŋommañ mä Macïr müŋŋe muure.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.

46Aŋ Yuucip yuunge caykä kä ḍäk wääna kaacce kä ñuugula yen yätkä Parahuun yen mä Macïr ti ye. Aŋ Yuucip aŋgin yore Parahuun ñome ti, aŋ attä laaynä ŋommañ mä Macïr jï muure.Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.

47Aŋ yuungu kä ŋaṭükel yek burru yaakka ti ŋommañ giiṇṇä kä yaac.During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

48Aŋ Yuucip päk ḍüülene ti muure yek yuungu kä ŋaṭükel yaaka kääjin woo ŋommañ mä Macïr jï ye. Aŋ päk ḍoocce bänkä mäyken gïtï. Aŋ baan mooye kalaŋ daa ḍuckene jï päk yirkä yaaka gurke ti ye.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.

49Aŋ Yuucip kuuttu päk kä ḍiräk bata ṭiŋal yek wii jïñe, ke yuutee ïñï kä paŋŋä, kä yaana batta lïïlte daa me kä paŋŋä ye.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.

50I yuungu käñ batta mor ḍägä, Yuucip gitki Acanaat merkä oogen kä yew ṭuulle yen Patipeera män daaŋ yen mä Uun ti.Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51Aŋ Yuucip kaygon yeene äkkene ogo Manacca. Aŋ ike jaajjin ogo, “A yaana Jooŋ naŋŋa kä pillä yeeni muure wiirrä daa kä ke äntüke wäyo muure ye.”Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52Aŋ Yuucip minneni yaana bäätcïdï ye, äkkene ogo Ipiraayim. Aŋ jaajjin ogo, “A yaana Jooŋ ika naŋŋa giidä kä yaac baan yaana wääccä kä jï pillä ye.”And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53Aŋ yuungu kä ŋaṭükel yek burru yaaka äätin ŋommañ mä Macïr jï ye düüñïn,When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

Aŋ käñ wäättä bänkä gïtï muure, aŋ a ŋommañ mä Macïr pare ken cääyge päk.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.

55Aŋ wääna mä Macïr näkkene daa käñ ye, iken yaajjin Parahuun ti ogo päk. Aŋ Parahuun mä Macïr muure kiinne ogo, “Ate Yuucip ti aŋ gin'a kiine kä ye i naŋe.”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.”

56Aŋ käñ tällä baan jï muure, aŋ Yuucip tuucku muure kupkene, aŋ yääjgede mä Macïr. Aŋ käñ yaaññä Macïr jï muure.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.

57Aŋ mä bänkä muure äätin Macïr Yuucip ti kïjï päk kä yaana käñ yaaññee ŋommañ wic muure ye.And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
