Genesis 41 (MSY2020)

1Ezɨ azenir pumuning ghua gɨvazɨma, Isipɨn atrivim irebamɨn gani. A irebamɨn uabɨn gari, a Nailɨn Fanem boroghɨn tughav iti.After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

2A garima, 7plan bulmakaun mɨkarziba sara itir ekiaba dɨpamɨn anagava otifi. Egha graziba dɨpar mɨriamɨn da api.when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

3Ezɨ gɨn 7plan igharaziba dɨpamɨn ikegha anagava otifi. Egha me bar aghariba gunigha mɨkarziba eromotuegha men ganganiba bar ikufi. Ezɨ bulmakaun aghariba guizir kaba mɨkarziba sara itir kabar boroghɨn tuivighav iti.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.

4Ezɨ aghariba guizir bulmakaun kaba, mɨkarziba sara itiba apava da tuizɨ da iraghue. Egha atrivim irebar kamɨn ganigha gɨvagha ose.And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5Egha a uam akua irebar mamɨn gani. Ezɨ irebar a ua ganizir kam, a gari 7plan raizɨn dapaniba raizɨn agharir vamɨra gata mɨsefe. Ezɨ dapanir kaba ekevegha raizɨn ovɨzir bar avɨriba dar ikia, anizɨ dar aghoramin dughiam roghɨra ize.but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6Ezɨ gɨn 7plan raizɨn dapanir igharaziba otifi. Amɨnir mam danganir mɨsɨngizimɨn otogha iza dagh apongezɨ da isigha bar sufi.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7Egha raizɨn dapanir suvizir kuraba, da raizɨn dapanir ekiar aghuiba apa da tuavaremezɨ da bar iraghue. Ezɨ atrivim uam osegha dɨkavigha fo, kar pura irebamra.And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8Egha mɨzaraghara a nɨghnɨzir avɨribagh amua, egha Isipɨn fofozir gumaziba ko kukunir gumaziba, men diazɨ me izima, a uan irebar pumuningɨn me mɨgeima, irebar kamningɨn mɨngarimning abɨghamin gumaziba puvatɨ.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.

9Ezɨ gɨn gumazir atrivimɨn dɨpenimɨn wainɨn garim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “Datɨrɨghɨn kɨ uan arazir kurar amizir mamɨn gun mɨkɨmam.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10Nɨ fomɨra uan ingangarir gumazimning ko adarim ikia, egha kɨ ko nɨn bretɨn ingarir gumazibar dapanim, ga amadazɨ, ga ghua kalabusɨn ikia, nɨn mɨdorozir gumazibar dapanimɨn dɨpenimɨn ike.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11Egha dɨmagarir mamɨn ga uaghara irebamningɨn gani. Ezɨ gan irebamningɨn mɨngarimning, uaning oghara.One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12Ezɨ Hibruian gumazir igiar mam uaghan ga ko iti. A mɨdorozir gumazir kabar dapanimɨn ingangarir gumazir kɨnim. Ezɨ ga uan irebamningɨn gun a mɨkeme. Ezɨ a gan irebamningɨn mɨngariba abigha ga mɨkeme.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.

13Ezɨ biziba da guizɨn a mɨkemezɨ moghɨrama otifi. Ezɨ kɨ uamategha uan ingangarim ini. Ezɨ gumazir bretɨn ingarim, me tememɨn anegura.”And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14Ezɨ Isipɨn atrivim akar kam baregha uan ingangarir gumazibav keme, eghtɨ me mangɨ Josep inigh izam. Ezɨ me zuamɨra kalabusɨn dɨpenimɨn ghugha a inigha ize. Ezɨ Josep uan ghuamasɨzim gisegha korotiar aghuiba aghuizɨ, me a inigha atrivim bagha ghu.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.

15Ezɨ atrivim kamagh Josep mɨgei, “Kɨ irebamɨn gani, ezɨ gumazir an mɨngarim abɨghamba puvatɨ. Ezɨ gumazamiziba ghaze, nɨ a baregh an mɨngarim abɨghamin fofozim iti.”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.”

16Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn an akam ikaragha ghaze, “Kɨ uabɨ fofoziba puvatɨ, ezɨ Godra nɨn irebamɨn mɨngarim deragh anebightɨ, nɨ a baragh bar akuegham.”“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

17Egha atrivim ghaze, “Kɨ kamaghɨn irebamɨn gani. Kɨ Nailɨn faner mɨriamɨn tughav iti,Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18egha gari bulmakaun 7plan mɨkarziba sara itiba dɨpamɨn ikegha anagav otifi. Egha dɨpar mɨriamɨn graziba api.when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

19Ezɨ gɨn bulmakaun 7plan igharaziba anagav otifi. Egha me aghariba gunigha, mɨkarziba eromotuegha ganganiba bar ikufi. Kɨ Isipɨn aven bar bulmakaun kamaghɨn garitamɨn ganizir puvatɨ.After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!

20Ezɨ bulmakaun agharir kaba, bulmakaun mɨkarziba sara itir kaba apa da tuavaremezɨ da bar iraghue.Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

21Me amegha gɨvagha egha men ganganim mati me amezir puvatɨ. Ezɨ kɨ maghɨra osegha dɨkafi.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.

22Egha gɨn kɨ uam akua ua irebar mamɨn gari. Kɨ gari, 7plan raizɨn dapaniba raizɨn agharir vamɨra gata mɨsefe. Ezɨ dapanir kaba ekevegha raizɨn ovɨzir bar avɨriba ikia egha anizɨ, dughiar dar aghoramim roghɨra ize.In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.

23Ezɨ gɨn 7plan raizɨn dapanir igharaziba otifi. Amɨnir mam danganir mɨsɨngizimɨn otogha iza dagh apongezɨ da isigha, bar sufi.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24Egha raizɨn dapanir suvizir kuraba, raizɨn dapanir ekiar aghuiba apa da tuavaremezɨ da bar iraghue. Ezɨ kɨ osegha dɨkavigha, kukunir gumazir bizibar gariba kɨ uan irebamɨn gun me mɨgei, ezɨ nan irebar kɨ ganizir kamningɨn mɨngarim abɨghamin gumaziba puvatɨ.”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.”

25Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Nɨn irebamningɨn mɨngarimning uaghara ghu. God damuamin bizim, a nɨn akakasi.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.

26Guizbangɨra, 7plan bulmakaun mɨkarziba sara itir kaba, da 7plan azenibar ababanim gami. Ezɨ 7plan raizɨn dapanir aghuiba, da uaghan 7plan azeniba. Egha da bizir vamɨram akakasi.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.

27Ezɨ gɨn otivizir 7plan bulmakaun aghariba guniziba, ko raizɨn dapanir 7plan kaba, amɨnir puvɨra feim iza dagh apongezɨ, dar dagheba gɨn otivizir puvatɨ, da 7plan azenibar dagheba puvatɨghamin ababanim aka.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.

28Kɨ faragha nɨ mɨkemegha gɨfa, God damuasava amir bizim, a nɨ mɨkeme.It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Guizbangɨra, 7plan azeniba Isipɨn kantrin aven dagheba bar izɨvagham.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,

30Eghtɨ gɨn 7plan azenibar dagheba puvatɨzir dughiam otoghtɨ, Isipia ua dagheba avɨrasamezir dughiabagh nɨghnɨghan kogham. Eghtɨ mɨtiriam aghamin dughiar bar ekiam, kantrin kamɨn otogham.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.

31Eghtɨ mɨtiriam aghamin dughiar gɨn izamin kam bar ikuvigham, kamaghɨn gumazamiziba dughiar me dagheba avɨrasemezir kam bar a gɨn amadagham.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.

32Ezɨ God bizir kam damuasa nɨghnɨzim akɨrigha gɨfa. Kamaghɨn a mɨngarir vamɨra itir irebar kamning nɨn aka. A uaghan kamaghɨn nɨn akagha ghaze, bizir a damuamin kam, a zuamɨram otogham.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“Eghtɨ nɨ datɨrɨghɨn Isipɨn kantrin ganamin fofozim ko nɨghnɨzir aghuim itir gumazitam atɨghtɨ, a Isipɨn kantrin aven ingangariba bar dagh ativagh dar ganam.Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

34Egh nɨ gumazir dapanir taba uaghan, me amɨsefegh. Eghtɨ gumazir dapanir kaba, 7plan azenibar vaghvagh dagheba izɨvazir dughiam, me gumazamizibav kɨmtɨ, me uan azenibar dagheba isɨ 5plan pozibar arigh, dar pozitam takisɨn mɨn a inigh gavman bagh anenɨngigh.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.

35Eghtɨ gumazir dapaniba azenir aghuir kabar, dagher kaba inigh da akufagh. Egh me nɨn ziam ko gavgavimɨn apengan ingarɨva raizɨbagh eghuvagh, da isɨ dagher dɨpenir ekiar nguibar ekiabar itibar amangigh deraghvɨra dar gan.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.

36Eghtɨ gɨn dagheba puvatɨzir 7plan azeniba Isipɨn kantrin otoghtɨ, gumazamiziba dagher gumazir dapaniba pozibav kɨnizir kaba iniam. Tuavir kamɨn gumazamiziba dagheba oteveghamin dughiamɨn, me ovengan kogham.”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.”

37Ezɨ Isipɨn atrivim uan ingangarir gumaziba ko Josepɨn akam baregha bar an gakonge.This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.

38Egha atrivim uan gumazir dapaniba kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Godɨn Duam gumazir kamɨn aven iti. Ezɨ ingangarir kam damuamin gumazitam an mɨn itir puvatɨ.”So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”

39Egha atrivim kamaghɨn Josep mɨgei, “God uabɨ bizir kaba aka, ezɨ ua gumazitam nɨn mɨn nɨghnɨzir aghuitam ko fofozir aghuitam itir puvatɨ.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40Ezɨ kɨ uan kantri bagh nɨ amɨseveghtɨ, nɨ nan kantrin gumazir dapanimɨn ikiam. Eghtɨ nan gumazamiziba nɨn akam baragham. Kɨ uabɨ atrivimra, egh nan ziam uabɨra nɨn ziam gafiragham.”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.”

41Egha atrivim kamaghɨn Josep mɨgei, “Nɨ oragh, kɨ datɨrɨghɨn Isip bar an ganamin gumazir dapanimɨn ikiasa nɨ amɨsefe.”Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”

42Egha atrivim uan dafarimɨn ring suegha Josep garu. Ezɨ ringɨn kam atrivimɨn ababanim an iti. Egha atrivim uaghan korotiar aghuir mam a garugha gol sen an fɨrimɨn da.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.

43Egha Josep ataghizɨ an atrivimɨn karisɨn namba 2ɨn arui. Ezɨ ingangarir gumaziba an faragha ghua kamaghɨn dɨa ghaze, “Gumazir ekiam izi! Tuavim gitagh!” Egha kamaghɨn atrivim Josep gamizɨ a Isipɨn kantrin nguibaba bar dar gumazir dapanimɨn oto.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.

44Ezɨ atrivim kamaghɨn Josep mɨgei, “Kɨ atrivim. Egha kɨ mɨgei, Isipɨn gumazitam uan ifongiamɨn gɨn mangɨ bizitam puram a damighan kogham. Bar puvatɨgham. A faragh nɨn azaragham.”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.”

45Egha atrivim ziam Safenat Panea Josep gatɨ. Egha amuir mam a ganɨngi. Ezɨ amizir kamɨn ziam Asenat, a Potiferan guivim, Potifera a Heliopolisɨn nguibamɨn itir Isipɨn aseba bagha ofa gamir gumazir mam. Egha Josep Isipɨn kantrin aven itir nguibaba bar dagh aruigha dar gani.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.

46Josep 30plan azeniba ikia Isipɨn atrivimɨn ingangarim gami. Egha Josep atrivim ategha Isipɨn kantrin itir nguibaba bar dagh arui.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.

47Ezɨ 7plan azenir aghuibar, Isipɨn aven dagher bar avɨriba otifi.During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

48Ezɨ 7plan azenir kabar, Josep dagher avɨribagh kuva da arɨsi. Nguibar ekiaba vaghvagha, a men azenibar dagheba isa, dagher dɨpenibar da akuva da arɨsi.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.

49Egha raiziaba, a da isa dagher dɨpenir bar ekiar avɨribar da arɨzi, da ongarimɨn gigimɨn mɨn ghuzɨ, Josep datɨrɨghɨn ua mengan iburagha uaghan da osirizir puvatɨ.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.

50Ezɨ dagheba tɨghar oteveghamin dughiamɨn, Josepɨn amuim Asenat, an otarir pumuning bate. Asenat a Potiferan guivim. Potifera, a Heliopolisɨn nguibamɨn itir ofa gamir gumazim.Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn mɨgei, “God nan akurazɨ kɨ uan afeziamɨn adarazi gɨn amadagha, uaghan uan osɨmtɨziba gɨn amada.” Egha kamaghɨn a uan otarir ivariam, ziam “Manase,” a gatɨ.Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52Egha a uaghan ghaze, “God borim danganir kɨ osɨmtɨziba itimɨn na ganɨngi.” Egha uan otarir dozim, ziam “Efraim,” a gatɨ.And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53Ezɨ Isipɨn kantrin aven 7plan azenir aghuir kaba gɨvazɨ,When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54Josep mɨkemezɨ moghɨn, azenir dagheba puvatɨzir kaba otifi. Dughiar kamɨn mɨtiriar ekiar kam kantrin igharaziba uaghan me batifi. Ezɨ Isipɨn kantrin aven dagheba bar nguibabar iti.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.

55Ezɨ gɨn, dagheba otevezir arazir kam bar Isipɨn nguibabar otivima, gumazamiziba atrivim mɨgɨava arai, eghtɨ a dagheba me danɨngam. Ezɨ atrivim Isipɨn gumazamizibav gɨa ghaze, “Ia mangɨ Josep batoghtɨ, a mɨkemezɨ moghɨn damu.”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.”

56Ezɨ Isipɨn aven mɨtiriam bar ekevezɨ, Josep dagher dɨpenir ekiaba kuizɨ, Isipɨn gumazamiziba iza daghebagh ivesi.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.

57Ezɨ mɨtiriar bar ekiam kantriba bar paza me gami. Ezɨ kamaghɨn kantriba bar dar gumazamiziba Josep bagha iza a da daghebagh ivesi.And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
