创世记 41
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
法老连作两个梦
41 过了两年，法老作了一个梦，梦见自己站在河边。 2 有七头母牛从河里上来，又健美又肥壮，在芦苇中吃草。 3 接着，又有另外七头母牛从河里上来，又丑陋又瘦弱，站在岸上其他母牛旁边。 4 这些丑陋瘦弱的母牛，竟把那七只健美肥壮的母牛吃掉，法老就醒了。 5 他又睡着，作了第二个梦，梦见一根麦茎，长出七个麦穗，又肥壮又美好。 6 接着，又长出七个麦穗，又干瘦又被东风吹焦了。 7 这些干瘦的麦穗，竟把那七个又肥壮又饱满的麦穗吞下去，法老就醒了，原来是一个梦。 8 到了早晨，法老心里烦乱，就派人去把埃及所有的术士和智慧人都召了来；法老把自己的梦告诉他们，但是没有人能替法老解梦。
酒政推荐约瑟
9 那时酒政告诉法老说：“我今日想起了我的过错。 10 从前法老恼怒臣仆，把我和膳长关在军长府的监房里。 11 我们二人在同一夜都作了梦；我们的梦各有不同的解释。 12 在那里有一个希伯来的少年人与我们在一起，他是军长的仆人，我们把梦告诉了他，他就替我们解梦，各人的梦有不同的解释。 13 结果，事情都照着他给我们的解释实现了：我恢复了原职，膳长却被挂起来。”
14 法老于是派人去召约瑟。他们就急忙把约瑟从监里带出来。他剃了头、刮了脸、换了衣服，就进去见法老。 15 法老对约瑟说：“我作了一个梦，没有人能够解释。我听见人说，你听了梦，就能解释。” 16 约瑟回答法老，说：“解梦不在于我，但 神必给法老一个吉祥的解答。” 17 法老告诉约瑟：“在梦里我看见我站在河边。 18 有七头母牛从河里上来，又肥壮又健美，在芦苇中吃草。 19 接着，又有另外七头母牛上来，又软弱又消瘦又十分丑陋，在埃及全地我没有见过这样丑陋的牛。 20 这又消瘦又丑陋的母牛，竟把先前七头肥壮的母牛吃掉。 21 牠们吃了以后，却看不出牠们是吃掉了肥牛，因为牠们丑陋的样子仍是与先前一样。我就醒了。 22 在梦里我又看见一根麦茎，长出七个麦穗，又饱满又美好。 23 接着，又长出了七个麦穗，又枯干又干瘦又被东风吹焦了。 24 这些干瘦的麦穗，竟把那七个美好的麦穗吞下去。我把梦告诉了术士，但是没有人能替我解答。”
约瑟为法老解梦
25 约瑟对法老说：“法老的梦都是同一个意思， 神已经把所要作的事告诉法老了。 26 七头美好的母牛是七年，七个美好的麦穗也是七年；两个梦都是同一个意思。 27 那接着上来的七头又消瘦又丑陋的母牛是七年，那七个不结实、被东风吹焦了的麦穗也是七年，都是七年饥荒。 28 这就是我对法老所说： 神要作的事，他已经向法老显明了。 29 看哪，埃及全地必有七年大丰收。 30 接着又必有七年饥荒；甚至埃及地所有的丰收都被人忘记了，饥荒必把这地毁灭。 31 因为接着而来的饥荒太严重了，使人不觉得这地有过丰收。 32 至于法老两次作梦，是因为 神已经命定这事，并且要快快地实行。 33 因此，法老要找一个有见识有智慧的人，派他管理埃及地。 34 法老要这样行，在国中指派官员，当七年丰收的时候，征收埃及地出产的五分之一。 35 又叫他们把将要来的七个丰年的粮食收集起来，积蓄五谷归在法老的手下，收在各城里作粮食。 36 这些粮食要储存起来，可以应付将来埃及地的七年饥荒，免得这地被饥荒所灭。”
约瑟在埃及居高位
37 法老和他的臣仆，都赞同这件事。 38 于是法老对臣仆说：“像这样的人，有 神的灵在他里面，我们怎能找得着呢？” 39 法老对约瑟说：“ 神既然把这事指示了你，就再没有人像你这样有见识有智慧了。 40 你可以掌管我的家，我的人民都要听从你的话；只有在王位上我比你大。” 41 法老又对约瑟说：“你看，我任命你治理埃及全地。” 42 于是，法老脱下他手上打印的戒指，戴在约瑟的手上；给他穿上细麻的衣服，把金颈炼挂在他的颈项上； 43 又叫约瑟坐在他的副车里，有人在他前面喊着：“跪下。”这样，法老任命了约瑟治理埃及全地。 44 法老对约瑟说：“我是法老，但在埃及全地，如果没有你的许可，没有人可以随意作事。” 45 法老给约瑟起名叫撒发那忒．巴内亚，又把安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳，给约瑟为妻。约瑟出去巡行埃及全地。
46 约瑟侍立在埃及王法老面前的时候，年三十岁。约瑟从法老面前出来，遍行埃及全地。 47 在七个丰年的时候，地里的出产非常丰盛。 48 约瑟把埃及七个丰年的一切粮食都收集起来，把粮食存放在城中；各城周围田地所出的粮食，也存放在各城中。 49 约瑟积蓄了极多的五谷，好象海沙那样多，甚至他不再记下数量，因为实在无法计算。
50 在荒年还没有来到以前，约瑟生了两个儿子，是安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生的。 51 约瑟给长子起名叫玛拿西，因为他说：“ 神使我忘记我所有的困苦，以及我父的全家。” 52 他给次子起名叫以法莲，因为他说：“ 神使我在受苦之地繁盛起来。”
丰年与荒年
53 埃及地的七年丰收一结束， 54 七年饥荒就随着来了，正像约瑟所说的一样。各地都有饥荒，只有埃及全地仍有粮食， 55 等到埃及全地也要挨饿的时候，人民就向法老求粮。法老对所有的埃及人说：“你们到约瑟那里去，他吩咐你们甚么，你们就作甚么。” 56 当时饥荒遍及全国，约瑟就开了所有的粮仓，把粮食卖给埃及人，因为埃及地的饥荒非常严重。 57 各地的人都到埃及去，向约瑟买粮，因为各地的饥荒都非常严重。

法老連作兩個夢
41 過了兩年，法老作了一個夢，夢見自己站在河邊。 2 有七頭母牛從河裡上來，又健美又肥壯，在蘆葦中吃草。 3 接著，又有另外七頭母牛從河裡上來，又醜陋又瘦弱，站在岸上其他母牛旁邊。 4 這些醜陋瘦弱的母牛，竟把那七隻健美肥壯的母牛吃掉，法老就醒了。 5 他又睡著，作了第二個夢，夢見一根麥莖，長出七個麥穗，又肥壯又美好。 6 接著，又長出七個麥穗，又乾瘦又被東風吹焦了。 7 這些乾瘦的麥穗，竟把那七個又肥壯又飽滿的麥穗吞下去，法老就醒了，原來是一個夢。 8 到了早晨，法老心裡煩亂，就派人去把埃及所有的術士和智慧人都召了來；法老把自己的夢告訴他們，但是沒有人能替法老解夢。
酒政推薦約瑟
9 那時酒政告訴法老說：“我今日想起了我的過錯。 10 從前法老惱怒臣僕，把我和膳長關在軍長府的監房裡。 11 我們二人在同一夜都作了夢；我們的夢各有不同的解釋。 12 在那裡有一個希伯來的少年人與我們在一起，他是軍長的僕人，我們把夢告訴了他，他就替我們解夢，各人的夢有不同的解釋。 13 結果，事情都照著他給我們的解釋實現了：我恢復了原職，膳長卻被掛起來。”
14 法老於是派人去召約瑟。他們就急忙把約瑟從監裡帶出來。他剃了頭、刮了臉、換了衣服，就進去見法老。 15 法老對約瑟說：“我作了一個夢，沒有人能夠解釋。我聽見人說，你聽了夢，就能解釋。” 16 約瑟回答法老，說：“解夢不在於我，但 神必給法老一個吉祥的解答。” 17 法老告訴約瑟：“在夢裡我看見我站在河邊。 18 有七頭母牛從河裡上來，又肥壯又健美，在蘆葦中吃草。 19 接著，又有另外七頭母牛上來，又軟弱又消瘦又十分醜陋，在埃及全地我沒有見過這樣醜陋的牛。 20 這又消瘦又醜陋的母牛，竟把先前七頭肥壯的母牛吃掉。 21 牠們吃了以後，卻看不出牠們是吃掉了肥牛，因為牠們醜陋的樣子仍是與先前一樣。我就醒了。 22 在夢裡我又看見一根麥莖，長出七個麥穗，又飽滿又美好。 23 接著，又長出了七個麥穗，又枯乾又乾瘦又被東風吹焦了。 24 這些乾瘦的麥穗，竟把那七個美好的麥穗吞下去。我把夢告訴了術士，但是沒有人能替我解答。”
約瑟為法老解夢
25 約瑟對法老說：“法老的夢都是同一個意思， 神已經把所要作的事告訴法老了。 26 七頭美好的母牛是七年，七個美好的麥穗也是七年；兩個夢都是同一個意思。 27 那接著上來的七頭又消瘦又醜陋的母牛是七年，那七個不結實、被東風吹焦了的麥穗也是七年，都是七年饑荒。 28 這就是我對法老所說： 神要作的事，他已經向法老顯明了。 29 看哪，埃及全地必有七年大豐收。 30 接著又必有七年饑荒；甚至埃及地所有的豐收都被人忘記了，饑荒必把這地毀滅。 31 因為接著而來的饑荒太嚴重了，使人不覺得這地有過豐收。 32 至於法老兩次作夢，是因為 神已經命定這事，並且要快快地實行。 33 因此，法老要找一個有見識有智慧的人，派他管理埃及地。 34 法老要這樣行，在國中指派官員，當七年豐收的時候，徵收埃及地出產的五分之一。 35 又叫他們把將要來的七個豐年的糧食收集起來，積蓄五穀歸在法老的手下，收在各城裡作糧食。 36 這些糧食要儲存起來，可以應付將來埃及地的七年饑荒，免得這地被饑荒所滅。”
約瑟在埃及居高位
37 法老和他的臣僕，都贊同這件事。 38 於是法老對臣僕說：“像這樣的人，有 神的靈在他裡面，我們怎能找得著呢？” 39 法老對約瑟說：“ 神既然把這事指示了你，就再沒有人像你這樣有見識有智慧了。 40 你可以掌管我的家，我的人民都要聽從你的話；只有在王位上我比你大。” 41 法老又對約瑟說：“你看，我任命你治理埃及全地。” 42 於是，法老脫下他手上打印的戒指，戴在約瑟的手上；給他穿上細麻的衣服，把金頸鍊掛在他的頸項上； 43 又叫約瑟坐在他的副車裡，有人在他前面喊著：“跪下。”這樣，法老任命了約瑟治理埃及全地。 44 法老對約瑟說：“我是法老，但在埃及全地，如果沒有你的許可，沒有人可以隨意作事。” 45 法老給約瑟起名叫撒發那忒．巴內亞，又把安城的祭司波提非拉的女兒亞西納，給約瑟為妻。約瑟出去巡行埃及全地。
46 約瑟侍立在埃及王法老面前的時候，年三十歲。約瑟從法老面前出來，遍行埃及全地。 47 在七個豐年的時候，地裡的出產非常豐盛。 48 約瑟把埃及七個豐年的一切糧食都收集起來，把糧食存放在城中；各城周圍田地所出的糧食，也存放在各城中。 49 約瑟積蓄了極多的五穀，好像海沙那樣多，甚至他不再記下數量，因為實在無法計算。
50 在荒年還沒有來到以前，約瑟生了兩個兒子，是安城的祭司波提非拉的女兒亞西納給約瑟生的。 51 約瑟給長子起名叫瑪拿西，因為他說：“ 神使我忘記我所有的困苦，以及我父的全家。” 52 他給次子起名叫以法蓮，因為他說：“ 神使我在受苦之地繁盛起來。”
豐年與荒年
53 埃及地的七年豐收一結束， 54 七年饑荒就隨著來了，正像約瑟所說的一樣。各地都有饑荒，只有埃及全地仍有糧食， 55 等到埃及全地也要挨餓的時候，人民就向法老求糧。法老對所有的埃及人說：“你們到約瑟那裡去，他吩咐你們甚麼，你們就作甚麼。” 56 當時饑荒遍及全國，約瑟就開了所有的糧倉，把糧食賣給埃及人，因為埃及地的饑荒非常嚴重。 57 各地的人都到埃及去，向約瑟買糧，因為各地的饑荒都非常嚴重。
Genesis 41
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.
