Битие 41
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
41 Две години по-късно фараонът сънува, че стои край Нил 2 и ето от реката излязоха седем крави, хубави и тлъсти, и пасяха в тръстиката; 3 след тях от реката излязоха други седем крави, грозни и мършави, и се смесиха с другите крави на речния бряг; 4 грозните и мършави крави изядоха седемте хубави и тлъсти крави. В този момент фараонът се събуди, 5 но пак заспа. И сънува този път как седем пълни и хубави класове израснаха на едно стъбло; 6 но ето след тях израснаха седем празни и изсушени от източния вятър класове; 7 и празните класове погълнаха седемте тлъсти и пълни класове. Тогава фараонът се събуди и разбра, че отново беше сънувал. 8 На сутринта фараонът беше смутен и изпрати да повикат всички египетски пророци и мъдреци. Разказа им съня си, но никой не го изтълкува. 9 Тогава главният виночерпец каза на фараона: „Сега си спомням задължението си; 10 когато фараонът се беше разгневил на мене и главния хлебар и ни хвърли в тъмницата в дома на началника на затвора, 11 там аз и хлебарят сънувахме в една нощ различни сънища; 12 с нас беше и един млад евреин, роб на началника на охраната. Ние му разказахме какво сме сънували и той изтълкува съня на всеки от нас; 13 каквото ни каза, се сбъдна: аз бях възстановен на своето място, а другият беше обесен.“ 14 Тогава фараонът изпрати да повикат Йосиф. Изведоха го бързо от тъмницата, той се обръсна, преоблече се и дойде при фараона. 15 Фараонът каза на Йосиф: „Сънувах и няма кой да изтълкува съня ми, а за тебе съм слушал, че можеш да тълкуваш сънища.“ 16 (A)Йосиф отговори на фараона: „Не аз, а Бог за доброто на фараона ще даде отговор.“ 17 И фараонът каза на Йосиф: „Сънувах, че стоя на брега на реката 18 и ето от реката излязоха седем тлъсти и хубави крави и пасяха в тръстиката; 19 а след тях излязоха други седем крави, слаби, много грозни и мършави – никъде в цял Египет не бях виждал толкова грозни крави. 20 Занемарените и мършави крави изядоха първите седем угоени крави. 21 Тлъстите бяха погълнати, но по нищо не личеше, че бяха в стомасите на слабите. Те бяха все тъй мършави, както и преди това. И аз се събудих. 22 После сънувах, че на едно стъбло израснаха седем пълни и хубави класове; 23 но ето след тях израснаха седем тънки, празни и изсушени от източния вятър класове, 24 които погълнаха седемте хубави класове. Аз разказах това на мъдреците, но никой не ми го изтълкува.“ 25 Тогава Йосиф рече на фараона: „Сънят е един и с него Бог иска да съобщи на фараона какво ще стори. 26 Седемте хубави крави са седем години и седемте хубави класа – също. Сънят е един. 27 Седемте мършави и грозни крави, които излязоха след тях, са седем години, както и седемте празни и изсушени от източния вятър класове са седем гладни години. 28 Ето защо казах на фараона, че Бог иска да му покаже какво ще стори. 29 Следват седем години на голямо изобилие по цялата египетска земя; 30 след тях ще дойдат седем гладни години и ще се забрави всичкото онова изобилие в Египет, и глад ще изтощи земята. 31 Предишното изобилие ще бъде бързо забравено, защото гладът, който ще настане, ще бъде непоносим. 32 А щом се е присънило на фараона два пъти, това е потвърждение за истинността на Божието слово и Бог скоро ще го изпълни. 33 Нека фараонът си намери един разумен и мъдър човек и да го постави да управлява цялата египетска земя. 34 По заповед на фараона да бъдат поставени по земята надзиратели и през седемте изобилни години да се събира петата част от излишъка в Египет. 35 Надзирателите да събират всякаква храна през следващите плодородни години и според разпоредбата на фараона да складират житото в градовете и да го пазят; 36 и тази храна да бъде запазена за седемте гладни години, които ще настанат в Египет, за да не загинат жителите на тази земя от глад.“
Йосиф – господар над египетската земя
37 Това се понрави на фараона и на всичките му служители. 38 Тогава фараонът попита служителите си: „Ще намерим ли човек като него, у когото да има Божий Дух?“ 39 И фараонът каза на Йосиф: „След като тъкмо на тебе Бог откри всичко това, то няма друг по-подходящ, така разумен и мъдър като тебе. 40 (B)Ти ще бъдеш първи в двореца и ще определяш прехраната на народа ми. Само с трона си ще стоя по-високо от тебе.“ 41 И добави още: „Поставям те да управляваш цялата египетска земя.“ 42 Тогава фараонът свали пръстена от ръката си и го сложи на ръката на Йосиф; облече го в скъпи дрехи и окачи на врата му златна огърлица; 43 заповяда да го возят на втората от своите колесници и глашатаи да възгласят пред него: „Поклонете се!“ И го постави за управител на цялата египетска земя. 44 И рече фараонът на Йосиф: „Тук аз съм фараон, но без твоята дума никой няма да извърши нещо, нито ще отиде някъде в цялата египетска земя.“ 45 Фараонът нарече Йосиф Цафнат-Панеах и му даде за жена Асенета, дъщеря на Поти-Фера, жрец в Илиопол. И Йосиф тръгна да обиколи египетската земя.
46 Йосиф беше на тридесет години, когато се срещна с фараона, египетския цар. И сбогува се Йосиф с фараона, и тръгна да обикаля цялата египетска земя. 47 А през седемте плодородни години земята даваше преизобилно. 48 И Йосиф събра през седемте години на изобилие в Египет различни храни и ги складира по градовете. Във всеки град прибра храната от околните земи. 49 Йосиф събра и твърде много жито, колкото е морският пясък, и престана да смята количествата, защото те нямаха брой. 50 Преди да настанат гладните години, Асенета, дъщеря на илиополския жрец Поти-Фера, роди на Йосиф двама синове. 51 Йосиф нарече първородния Манасия, защото, както каза той: „Бог ми даде да забравя всички свои неволи и бащиния ми род“, 52 а на втория даде име Ефрем, защото, както каза той: „Бог ме направи плодовит в земята на страданието ми.“ 53 Като изминаха седемте години на изобилие в египетската земя, 54 (C)настъпиха седемте гладни години, както беше предсказал Йосиф. И настана глад по света, и само в египетската земя имаше хляб. 55 Всички в цялата египетска земя усетиха глада и поискаха от фараона хляб. И фараонът каза на всички египтяни: „Идете при Йосиф и правете, каквото той ви каже.“ 56 Гладът се разпростря по цялата земя. Тогава Йосиф отвори всички житници и започна да продава жито на египтяните. А гладът се усилваше в египетската земя. 57 И от всички страни идваха в Египет да купуват жито от Йосиф, защото гладът беше навсякъде.
Genesis 41
New King James Version
Pharaoh’s Dreams
41 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that (A)Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river. 2 Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow. 3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. 4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke. 5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good. 6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the (B)east wind, sprang up after them. 7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream. 8 Now it came to pass in the morning (C)that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all (D)the magicians of Egypt and all its (E)wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
9 Then the (F)chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day. 10 When Pharaoh was (G)angry with his servants, (H)and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, 11 (I)we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 Now there was a young (J)Hebrew man with us there, a (K)servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he (L)interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 And it came to pass, just (M)as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
14 (N)Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they (O)brought him quickly (P)out of the dungeon; and he shaved, (Q)changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. (R)But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”
16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, (S)“It is not in me; (T)God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, (U)in my dream I stood on the bank of the river. 18 Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow. 19 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt. 20 And the gaunt and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. 21 When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke. 22 Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven [a]heads came up on one stalk, full and good. 23 Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them. 24 And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So (V)I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; (W)God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good [b]heads are seven years; the dreams are one. 27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are (X)seven years of famine. 28 (Y)This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. 29 Indeed (Z)seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt; 30 but after them seven years of famine will (AA)arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine (AB)will deplete the land. 31 So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe. 32 And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the (AC)thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint [c]officers over the land, (AD)to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years. 35 And (AE)let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the [d]authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 36 Then that food shall be as a [e]reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land (AF)may not [f]perish during the famine.”
Joseph’s Rise to Power
37 So (AG)the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man (AH)in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 (AI)You shall be [g]over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have (AJ)set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh (AK)took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he (AL)clothed him in garments of fine linen (AM)and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second (AN)chariot which he had; (AO)and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him (AP)over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name [h]Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife (AQ)Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he (AR)stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth [i]abundantly. 48 So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. 49 Joseph gathered very much grain, (AS)as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
50 (AT)And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn [j]Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my (AU)father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called [k]Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be (AV)fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, 54 (AW)and the seven years of famine began to come, (AX)as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; (AY)whatever he says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened [l]all the storehouses and (AZ)sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 (BA)So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to (BB)buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.

King James Version
41 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
