Genesis 41 (TDX)

1Ie peake ty taoñe roe, le nañinofy t’i Parò, inao! ie nijohañe marine i saka Nailey,After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,

2le inge nitroatse amy Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho niogoògo vaho nihinañe amo vondroñeo.when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

3Nitroatse nanonjohy irezay ty tamanañe fito niriverive naho boroka nijagarodoñe marine i fito ila’e añ’olo’ i Nailey rey.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.

4Nabotse’ i añombe rene’e fito molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake rey, le nivañoñe t’i Parò.And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

5Nirotse indraike re nañinofy fañindroe’e: Hehe te sambe aman-taho’e raike ty voto tsako fito vañoñe toe daoza’e.but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.

6Inge ka ty voto-tsako lolondo’e fito, manifitse, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñana nitiry afara.After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.

7Nagodra’ i voto manifitse rey i voto fito daoza’e vokatse rey. Nivañoñe amy zao t’i Parò le nizoe’e te nofy.And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8Ie nimaraiñe le niembetse ty arofo’e; aa le nirahe’e ty hikoike ze fonga tsimaito’ i Mitsraime naho ze hene mahihitse ama’e ao. Natalili’ i Parò ama’e o nofi’eo fe leo raike tsy nahavaky irezay amy Parò.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.

9Aa le hoe ty asa’ i beim-panjotso fitoviy amy Parò, Nampitiahie’ ty andro toy ahiko o tahikoo.Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10Teo te niviñera’ i Parò o mpitoro’eo vaho sindre najo’e am-balabey añ’anjomba’ i beim-pigaritsey, izaho naho i beim-panoñakey.Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11Songa nañinofy amy haleñey, ie naho izaho, sindre aman-dika’e i ninofise’ey.One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.

12Nitraok’ ama’ay ty ajalahy nte-Evre, mpitoro’ i beim-pigaritsey. Natalili’ay ama’e, le nadika’e ama’ay o nofi’aio, sambe nadika’e ama’e i ninofise’ey.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.

13Ie amy zay, i nandika’e ama’aiy ty nefetsake: nahereñe amy tolon-drahakoy iraho vaho nanoan-tsingere mañaty i mpanoñakey.And it happened to us just as he had interpreted: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged.”

14Aa le nampañitrife’ i Parò t’Iosefe, le navota’ iareo masìka am-balabey ao; nihitsike re naho nañova saroñe vaho niheo mb’amy Parò mb’eo.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.

15Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Nañinofy iraho, vaho tsy eo ty mahafandika aze. Fe tsinanoko ty ama’o te ihe ty mahavaky nofy naho maha-dika aze.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.”

16Tinoi’ Iosefe t’i Parò ami’ty hoe, Tsy amako fa i Andrianañahare ty hanoiñe i Parò an-kanintsiñe.“I myself cannot do it,” Joseph replied, “but God will give Pharaoh a sound answer.”

17Aa hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Ie nijohañe añ’ olo’ i Nailey amy nofikoy leThen Pharaoh said to Joseph: “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,

18naheoko te niakatse i Nailey ty añombe rene’e fito mendo naho vondrake nihinañe amo vondroñeo.when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

19Inge amy zao te nitroatse boak’ ao nanonjohy iareo ty añombe fito raty, loho molonko, naho boròka. Mbe liako tsy nahatrea i haraty zay an-tane Mitsraime atoy.After them, seven other cows—sickly, ugly, and thin—came up. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!

20Nagodra’ i añombe rene’e molonko naho boroka rey i añombe rene’e vondrake rey,Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

21fe ndra t’ie nampibotseke tsy ho naharendre’ ondaty te nahabeake kanao mbe nihambañe amy teoy ty harati’ iereo. Le nitsekake iraho.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.

22Ie amy nofikoy le mbore nahatrea voto tsako fito vañoñe naho soa, sambe niboak’ ami’ty taho’e raike.In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, growing on a single stalk.

23Indrok’ amy zao te niboake manonjohy iereo ty voto-tsako fito jiba, kifo’e, finorototo’ ty tiok’ atiñanañe,After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.

24le nabotse’ i voto beikolopoke rey i voto fito soa rey. Aa ie nataliliko amo ambiasao, leo raike tsy nahabejañ’aze amako.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.”

25Aa hoe t’Iosefe amy Parò, Raike ty nofi’ i Parò; fa nabentan’ Añahare amy Parò ty hanoe’e aniany.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.

26I añombe fito soa rey ro fito taoñe; vaho fito taoñe ka i voto tsako fito soa rey; hambañe i nofy rey.The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven ripe heads of grain are seven years. The dreams have the same meaning.

27I añombe fito boroka naho molònko rey ro fito taoñe, manahake izay i kifo’e fito jinoi’ i tiok’ atiñanañey rey. San-tsalikoañe fito taoñe izay.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.

28Ie i vinolako amy Paròy, te nabentan’ Añahare amy Parò i hanoe’ey.It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Inao! handrambañe an-tane Mitsraime atoy fito taoñe ty san-kavokaram-bey.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,

30Hanonjohy izay te hitroatse ty san-kasalikoañe fito taoñe; le fonga ho haliño an-tane Mitsraime atoy i havokarañey; vaho habotse’ ty san-kerè i taney.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.

31Tsy ho tiahy an-tane atoy ka i havokarañey amy hasalikoañe hanonjohy azey ami’ty hamafe’ i haoreañey.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, since the famine that follows it will be so severe.

32Aa kanao nifañin-droe’e i nofi’ i Paròy le fa natsaton’ Añahare i rahay vaho antitotse ty andro hametsahan’Añahare aze.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.

33Aa soa re te ho joboñe’ i Parò t’indaty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse hampifehea’e ty tane Mitsraime,Now, therefore, Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man and set him over the land of Egypt.

34vaho hamototse higene mpisary amy taney t’i Parò handrambe ty faha-lime’ i taney amy fito taoñe vokatse rey.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.

35Le hatonto’ iareo ze hene mahakama amy taon-joba hitotsake rey, naho hahaja ambanem-pità’ i Parò i tsakoy hañajàñe mahakama amo rovao.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.

36Ahaja ho a i taney i mahakamay, ho amy taon-kerè fito hifetsak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoy rey tsy haitoa’ ty san-kasalikoañe ty tane toy.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.”

37Ni-no’ i Parò naho ze hene mpitoro’e i saontsy zay.This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his officials.

38Le hoe t’i Parò amo mpitoro’eo, Hahaoniñe ondaty mañirinkiriñe itoy hao tika—ie aman’ Arofon’ Añahare?So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, in whom the Spirit of God abides?”

39Aa hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Kanao nabentan’ Añahare ama’o i he’e zay, tsy eo ty mahatsikarake naho mahihitse te ama’o.Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

40Feheo ty trañoko, ihe ‘nio, vaho ty falie’o ro hampitsaoke ondatiko iabio; i fiambesam-panjakañey avao ty mahabey ahy te ama’o.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.”

41Le hoe t’i Parò am’Iosefe, Hehe, fonga nampifeheko azo ty tane Mitsraime;Pharaoh also told Joseph, “I hereby place you over all the land of Egypt.”

42le nafaha’ i Parò am-pità’e i bange-fitombo’ey naho naombe’e am-pità’ Iosefe naho sinaro’e siki-leny naho niravahe’e tohi-rozañe volamena ty fititia’eThen 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.

43vaho nampijoñe’e amy sareten-tsorotà’ey le nikoikoiheñe aolo’e mb’eo ty hoe: Mitongalefa! Le nampandilie’e iaby i tane Mitsraimey.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.

44Nanao ty hoe am’ Iosefe t’i Parò, Izaho o Parò zao, fe naho tsy ihe, le tsy eo ty hañonjo fitàñe ndra fandia an-tane Mitsraime atoy iaby.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.”

45Nomei’ i Parò ty tahina Tsofnate-paneàke t’Iosefe le natolots’ aze ho vali’e t’i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera, mpisoro’ i One; vaho nionjom-beo nanitsike i tane Mitsraimey t’Iosefe.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.

46Ni-telopolo taoñe t’Iosefe te nijohañe aolo’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime. Niavotse añ’atrefa’ i Parò t’Iosefe vaho nitsitsihe’e ty tane Mitsraime.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.

47Namokatse am-botri’e i taney amy taoñe fito vañoñe rey.During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully.

48Aa le hene natonto’e ze mahakama an-tane Mitsraime ao amy fito taoñe rey vaho nahaja’e amo rovao o mahakamao; songa rova ro nañajañe ty mahakama boak’ amo teteke mañohok’ azeo.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.

49Nañaja tsako mira amo fasen-driakeo t’Iosefe, tsifotofoto kanao tsy nahafañiak’ aze, amy te loho bey tsy nilefe volily.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.

50Nahatoly ana-dahy roe t’Iosefe aolo’ o taom-polakeo, toe nisamaha’ i Asenate, ana’ i Potifera mpisoro’ i One.Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51Natao’ Iosefe Menasè ty añara’ i tañoloñoloña’ey, fa hoe re, Nampandikofen’ Añahare ahy i hene fisotriakoy naho ty anjomban-draeko iaby.Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52Natao’e Efraime ty faharoe, amy te: Nampiraorao ahy an-tane nampiore ahy ao t’i Andrianañahare.And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53Nimodo amy zao i taoñe fito vokatse an-tane Mitsraimey rey;When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54le niorotse nitsatoke i fito taon-tsan-kerè rey ty amy saontsi’ Iosefey. Hene nikerè ze tane añe fe hene ama’ mahakama o an-tane Mitsraimeo.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.

55Ie fonga nisalikoeñe ty antane Mitsraime, le nitoreo mahakama amy Parò ondatio. Aa hoe t’i Parò amo nte-Mitsraime iabio, Akia mb’am’ Iosefe mb’eo le ze taroñe’e ama’ areo ty hanoe’ areo.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.”

56Aa naho nandrambañe ty tane toy i san-kerèy, le sinoka’ Iosefe o riha iabio vaho naleta’e amo nte-Mitsraimeo, amy te nimafe ty kerè an-tane Mitsraime ao.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.

57Niheo am’Iosefe e Mitsraime ao iaby ty tane toy hivily tsako, amy te nanitsike ty tane bey toy ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañey.And every nation came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
