Genesis 41 (LGA)

1Ego tonai sa jola karu aoro doruna poni sa putagita si Pero sa pira sa vei: sa korapa turuona pa keketaina na ovuku pa Naili sisa,After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

2poni sa qai bola votu sale koko pa ovuku sa ka vitu bulumakau momorutu babata jongadi beto na nyonyobokodi ko qai korapa gagani pa leo buburu pie.when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

3Ego ira ka vitu goto bulumakau babatikaredi beto liliqiridi sa qai votu tuti saleria sira aipira ko qai lao turu kataparia sira na nyonyobokodi pa tutuqelena na ovuku Naili.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.

4Beto qai lao tu na bulumakau babatikaredi beto na liliqiridi ko qai gani beto paleria sa ka vitu bulumakau momorutu bababta jongadi beto na nyonyobokodi. Beto poni sa dorava si Pero.And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5Beto sa putagita mule sisa sa pira sa vei: ka vitu batu vuiti mamaladorurudi beto jojongadi sa qai toa pa kai gogou vuiti gu.but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6Pa ligudi ira sa qai votu lame sa ka vitu goto batu vuiti liliqiridi beto mamaleidi sa veiniria na gava dadanga pa sagere tapo.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7Ego ko qai lao tu ira na batu vuiti liliqiridi ko qai ponyoloria sa ka vitu batu vuiti mamaladorurudi doruna. Totonai sa dorava si Pero sa gigilai sa sa putagita gu sisa.And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8Ego ko sa vuvugei neqa, poni sa sa takulanga na roquna, ko sa kuku vakamuria sa doru tinoni roroiti potana beto ira na tinoni gigigalai pa Ijipi ko sa ule vaniria i Pero sa karu ona putagita ba kepotu sa kame vei bi ruvata vania sa nona putagita.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.

9Beto isa sa na kutadi ira na tinoni popogoso kapa vaini sa parangia si Pero, pira saunia, Koi! <<Bangara, pa ngeni alepi sa qa gigila kamua ara sa na qua sela.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10Kai totoso ao Pero sa qu tagigirinigei sagei na mua nabulu ko qu vatomesiu sara beto na kutadi ira na tinoni roroiti bereti pa ruma tana kutadi ira na tinoni kopu.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11Kai bongi qe okoto putagita beto sagei karu, beto okoto putagita tamigei karu sa qai koledia na ruruvatadi beto tugu.One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12Ego kai koburu marene Hiburu sa sa suvere tavitigei ketakoi, kai nabulu tana kutadi ira na tinoni kopu pa ruma vaipiu. Ko qe ule vania sa na mei putagita, beto sa okoto ruvata vanigei, sa na ruvatadi na mei putagita.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.

13Ko isatugu vei sa ruvata vanigei isa sa qai gore votu beto tugu. Ara sa sa vatoqo ligusiu pa qua roitina goto isa kame sa qai vaborua,>> sau.And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14Poni sa vaigarunu si Pero ko mai sisiqarai riu tekua pa ruma vaipiu si Josepa sau. Ko pa liguna sa resa beto sa bei poko poni sa sa kamu turu pa moena i Pero.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.

15Poni i Pero sa parangia si Josepa, pira sau, <<Kai putagita sa qa putagitania ara ba kepotu sa kame bi ruvatia sa na putagita taqu. Ba ara qa nongoronigo sao sa tonai qu nongoria sa na putagita sa qu boka ruvatia,>> saunia.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.”

16Sa oea i Josepa si Pero, pira saunia, <<Nake ara sa.>> <<Na Tamasa tu mina oea na mua nyorogua sao Pero,>> saunia.“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

17Beto sa pira saunia i Pero si Josepa, <<Pa qua putagita sa, qa korapa turuqua pa tutuqelena na ovuku pa Naili sara,Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18poni qai votu sale ka vitu bulumakau nyonyobokodi beto momorutu babata jongadi ko qai korapa ngoja pa buburu pie.when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

19Pa ligudi ira sa qai votu tuti saleria ira sa ka vitu bulumakau na mamaleidi beto qai batikare jola beto qai liqiri betodia. Qa oqoro tugu batiria ara sira na bulumakau babatikaredi vevei inara pa doru eqa pa ijipiAfter them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!

20Beto qai lao tu ka vitu bulumakau liliqiri batikaredi ko qai gani beto paleria sa ka vitu bulumakau nyonyobokodi qai votu sale momoe.Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

21Ba pa liguna qai tei gani ponyoloria tu pa iapadi ba sake tadogoro pikata sa vei bai tei ponyolo gorenia tu pa iapadi, na dorodi sa korapa tugu batikare qai vei perangana. Beto sa qa dorava sara.>>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<<Ego beto qa batia mule pa qua putagita vinarua sa api, Qa batiria sa ka vitu batu vuiti mamaladorurudi beto na jojongadi sa qai toa votu sae pa kai gogouna gu.In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.

23Ego beto sa qai takelai votu tuti liguria mutu sa ka vitu batu vuiti mamaleidi, liliqiridi beto matedi sa veiniria na gava dadanga pa sagere tapo.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24Ira na batu vuiti liliqiridi pira sa qai poko amuria sa ka vitu batu vuiti jojongadi inara. Qa pojaniria sira na tinoni roroiti potana ba kepotu sa kame vei bi ruvata vanisiu,>> saunia.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.”

25Poni sa pira saunia i Josepa si Pero, Ego! <<Na putagita tao Pero sa kame gu beto vaitoto gu. Na Tamasa sa vadogoronigo sa na sa tata mina roitinia isa sau.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.

26Ka vitu bulumakau jojongadi sa ka vitu aoro sira, beto ka vitu batu vuiti jojongadi ba ka vitu aoro tugu sira ko kame gu beto vaitoto tugu sa karu putagita inara.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.

27Ka vitu bulumakau liliqiridi beto babatikaredi qai votu tuti saleria sa ka vitu aoro sira beto ka vitu batu vuiti ikikeredi sa vamateria na gava dadanga pa sagere tapo sa ka vitu aoro tugu sira. Ko ka vitu aoro songe sira.>>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.

28<<Ko isatugu vei qa tei pojanigo tu ara ao Pero perangana sa na Tamasa sa vadogoronigo sa na sakasa mi roitinia sau.It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Ka vitu aoro totoso masuru sa sa korapa lame pa doruna ia pa Ijipi,Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,

30ba ka vitu aoro tana totoso songe sa mina tuti lameria. Ko doru na masurudi na gagani pa Ijipi sa kode mai taroqu muma pale, beto na songe sa mina piaria na ia.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.

31Ko na masuruna na gagani sa minake taroroqu ura na songe isa mina tuti lame sa mina neqi jola sosoto.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.

32Ko na ginuana vei beto na putagita tao Pero sa votu karu totoso sa ura na Tamasa sa tei vatoqoa tu sa na totoso mina raja ko nake sovaina gu beto mina vagore votua sisa.>>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<<Ko sa vei sa, kopira tugu sa ao sa mu doria sa kai tinoni sa boka rorove beto na tinoni tatavagigalana ko mu vania na neqi ko mina kuta uanania sa na ia pa Ijipi.Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Ao Pero mu udukuria sira na tinoni mamata ko mai mamataniria na ia ko ira sa mai tekua sa kame pa lima pa dorudi na ababu pa Ijipi pana ka vitu aoro masuru.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.

35Ira sa mai boko vaikamuniria sa doru na gagani pa aoro jongana qai lame aipira beto na neqi muna vaniria ao sa, mai boko vaikamuniria sa na vuiti ko mai kopuniria pa ruma vavakoleni gagani pa doru gugusu lavata.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.

36Ko na gagani aipira sa mai tavakole kale vananama vaniria na tinoni ko mai tekuria pana ka vitu aoro songe mina kamua pa ia pa Ijipi ko na songe mike nganguluria ira na tinoni,>> sau.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.”

37Poni sa rove vajonganaia i Pero beto ira doru tinoni lalavata tana sa na rorove tai Josepa.This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.

38Ko sa nanasaria i Pero sira nona tinoni lavata, pira sau, <<Ai vei tana boka batia tu gita sa kai tinoni sa vevei na tinoni api, isa sa kolea na gagalana na Tamasa?>> sau.So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”

39Beto pira saunia i Pero si Josepa, <<Na Tamasa sa vabatinigo ao sa doruna na sakasava aipira ko kepore mule sa kai tinoni rorove beto tatavagigalana vevei ao.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40Ao gu sa muna kuta uanania sa na ruma taqu, beto na parangamu ao sa mai tuti vaiketia sira doru tinoni taqu. Goto isa tugu na totoqona binangara sa, ara qa ululu jolanigo sao,>> sau sisa.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.”

41Beto pira saunia i Pero si Josepa, Vainongoro! <<Qa udukigo ara sao ko muna kuta uanania ao sa na ia doruna pa Ijipi,>> saunia.Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Beto sa unusu vagorea i Pero sa na ringi sa kolea na vinagigila vinaruana na bangara pa kakarusu limana ko sa vasolapania pa kakarusu limana i Josepa. Beto sa vasaenia na poko gojo kokoregana beto sa vapakunia kai papaku qolo pa ruana.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.

43Beto sa vakoi lekogia sisa pa totopili tana tinoni vinarua pa nona binangara beto ko qai kukuku pa moena isa sira na tinoni, pira qarigu, <<Kokotungu gore beto,>> qarigu. Ko sa vakuta uanania isa sa na ia doruna pa Ijipi.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.

44Beto pira saunia i Pero si Josepa, <<Ara si Pero, ba pa vinamalumu gu tamu sa mai boka ovulia na limadi beto mai vakanokia na nenedi sira na tinoni pa leona na ia pa Ijipi,>> saunia.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.”

45Beto sa vaisongonia i Zapenati Panea si Josepa beto ko sa vania ko na maqotana isa si Asenati na tuna rereko i Potipera isa na iama pa Oni. Ko sa lekogo ovikiria i Josepa sira na ia pa Ijipi.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.

46Ka uengavuluputa aorona si Josepa totonai sa podalai roiti sisa tai Pero na bangara pa Ijipi. Ko sa koko tai Pero si Josepa ko sa lekogia isa sa doru na ia pa Ijipi.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.

47Ko na peso sa masuru vatatale pa leona ka vitu aoro totoso masuru.During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

48Sa boko vaikamuniria i Josepa sira na gagani qai vua pa leona ka vitu aoro totoso masuru pa ia pa Ijipi ko sa vakoleniria pa gugusu lalavata. Na gagani qai tavakole kale pa okokoto gugusu lavata ira sa qai tateku tugu pa ia qai kole pa vailivutaina na gugusu isa.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.

49Ko sa boko vavaikamuniria i Josepa sa na kiko vei tu na nagasa pa poanana tinganai sa jola vivitigi ko sa nogoto tu kuti vagoreria isa ura sa jola sosoto pa pada.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.

50Totonai sa oqoro raja na songe, poni sa karu marene sa i Josepa sa vaporeniria tai Asenati na tuna rereko i Potipera isa na iama pa Oni.Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51I Josepa sa vaisongonia i Manase sa isa pa moa ura pira sau, <<I Tamasa sa varoqumuma palenisiu pa doru na qua tapata beto ira doru na tatamana tana tamaqu,>> sau sisa.Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52Na vinarua marene sa sa vaisongonia i Eparemi ura pira sau, <<Na Tamasa sa vavuasiu pa ia ketakoi qa gosoro tapata,>> sau sisa.And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53Ego ko sa lame okoto sira ka vitu aoro totoso masuru pa Ijipi,When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54beto ko sa podalai gu sa ka vitu aoro totoso songe, vei puputa tugu sa pojai i Josepa. Ko doru ia sa sa raja sa na songe ba pa ia doruna pa Ijipi sa kole gu sa na gagani.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.

55Ba totonai qai podalai burana mamate sira na tinoni pa Ijipi, poni sa qai lukana uui lao tai Pero tepagadia gagani. Poni sa garunuria i Pero sira doru tinoni pa Ijipi, pira sauniria, <<Mu lao tai Josepa ko isa mina ule vanigou na sa muna roitinia,>> sau.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.”

56Totonai sa uli kamuria na songe sa na gugugusu doruna pa vailivutaina, poni sa sa revangaria i Josepa sa doru ruma vavakoleni gagani beto ko sa vavainiria tadira na tinoni pa Ijipi sa na vuiti, ura sa neqi viva sa na songe sa raja pa ia pa Ijipi.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.

57Ko ira doru tinoni sa qai lame pa Ijipi ko mai vai vuiti tai Josepa qarigu, ura sa neqi viva sa na songe pa doruna ia.And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
