Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams

41 And it happened that after two full years[a] Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he was standing by the Nile. 2 And behold, seven cows, well built and fat,[b] were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds. 3 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt,[c] and they stood beside those[d] cows on the bank of the Nile. 4 And the ugly and gaunt[e] cows ate the seven well built and fat[f] cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. 5 And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time, and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were coming out of one stalk. 6 And behold, seven thin ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them. 7 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven plump and full ears of grain. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8 And it happened that in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all of the magicians[g] of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh told his dream to them. But they had no interpretation[h] for Pharaoh. 9 Then the chief of the cupbearers spoke with Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my sins today. 10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the house of the chief of the guard. 11 And we dreamed a dream one night, I and he, each with a dream that had a meaning.[i] 12 And there with us was a young man, a Hebrew servant of the chief of the guard, and we told him the dream, and he interpreted our dreams for us, each according to his dream he interpreted. 13 And it happened just as he interpreted to us, so it was. He[j] restored me to my office, and him[k] he[l] hanged.” 14 Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they brought him quickly from the prison. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh. 15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power;[m] God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.” 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile, 18 and behold, seven cows, well built and fat,[n] were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds. 19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt[o]—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness. 20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows. 21 But when they went into their bellies[p] it could not be known that they went into their bellies,[q] for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke. 22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good. 23 And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them. 24 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians,[r] but there was none to explain it to me.” 25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows, they are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain, they are seven years. The dreams are one. 27 And the seven thin and ugly cows coming up after them, they are seven years, and the seven empty ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, they are also seven years of famine. 28 This is the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh; God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt. 30 Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land. 31 Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows,[s] for it will be very heavy. 32 Now concerning the repetition of the dream twice to Pharaoh, it is because the matter is established by God, and God will do it quickly. 33 Now then, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance. 35 Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. 36 Then the food shall be as a deposit for the land for the seven years of the famine that will be in the land of Egypt, that the land will not perish on account of the famine.”

Joseph Rises to Power

37 And the plan[t] was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this in whom is the spirit of God?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all of this known to you there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and to your word[u] all my people shall submit. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his finger and put it on the finger of Joseph. And he clothed him with garments of fine linen, and he put a chain of gold around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in his second chariot. And they cried out before him, “Kneel!” And Pharaoh set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your consent no one will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphenath-paneah and gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. 46 Now Joseph was thirty years old[v] when he stood before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and traveled through the whole land of Egypt. 47 And the land produced a plenty in the seven years of abundance. 48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt. And he stored the food in the cities. The food of the field that surrounded each city he stored in its midst. 49 And Joseph piled up grain like the sand of the sea in great abundance until he stopped counting it, for it could not be counted.[w] 50 Before the years of famine came, Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore two sons to him. 51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has caused me to forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune.” 53 And the seven years of abundance which were in the land of Egypt came to an end. 54 And the seven years of famine began to come as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all of the countries, but in the land of Egypt there was food. 55 And when all the land of Egypt was hungry the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. And Pharaoh said to all the land of Egypt, “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, you must do.” 56 And the famine was over the whole land, and Joseph opened all the storehouses[x] and sold food to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. 57 And every land came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, for the famine was severe in every land.

Visele lui Faraon

41 După doi ani, Faraon a visat că stătea pe malul Nilului 2 şi că din Nil au ieşit şapte vaci frumoase şi grase, care păşteau între trestii. 3 După ele au ieşit din Nil alte şapte vaci urâte şi sfrijite, care s-au aşezat lângă celelalte vaci, pe malul Nilului. 4 Vacile urâte şi sfrijite le-au mâncat pe cele şapte vaci frumoase şi grase. Atunci Faraon s-a trezit din somn. 5 Apoi a adormit din nou şi a avut un alt vis: şapte spice de grâne, grase şi bune, creşteau pe acelaşi pai. 6 După ele au răsărit şapte spice slabe şi arse de vântul de răsărit. 7 Spicele slabe le-au înghiţit pe cele şapte spice grase şi pline. Atunci Faraon s-a trezit din somn; acestea au fost visele sale.

8 Dimineaţa duhul său era tulburat; el a trimis să-i cheme pe toţi magicienii şi pe toţi înţelepţii Egiptului, cărora le-a istorisit visele, dar nimeni n-a putut să i le interpreteze. 9 Atunci căpetenia paharnicilor i-a zis lui Faraon: „Mi-aduc astăzi aminte de greşeala mea[a]; 10 Faraon s-a mâniat odată pe slujitorii săi şi ne-a pus sub pază, în casa conducătorului gărzii[b], pe mine şi pe căpetenia brutarilor. 11 El şi cu mine am avut în aceeaşi noapte câte un vis, fiecare vis având o interpretare proprie. 12 Împreună cu noi, se afla acolo şi un tânăr evreu, sclav al conducătorului gărzii. I-am istorisit acestuia visele noastre, iar el ni le-a interpretat, dând fiecărui vis o interpretare proprie. 13 Şi s-a întâmplat exact aşa cum ni le-a interpretat el: pe mine Faraon m-a repus în slujbă, iar pe brutar l-a spânzurat.“ 14 Atunci Faraon a trimis după Iosif, iar el a fost scos repede din temniţă. Iosif s-a ras, şi-a schimbat hainele şi s-a prezentat înaintea lui Faraon. 15 Acesta i-a zis:

– Am avut un vis, dar nu este nimeni care să-l poată interpreta. Am auzit că tu poţi interpreta un vis imediat ce-l auzi.

16 – Nu eu, ci Dumnezeu îi va da lui Faraon un răspuns prielnic, i-a răspuns Iosif.

17 Atunci Faraon i-a zis lui Iosif:

– Am visat că stăteam pe malul Nilului 18 şi că din Nil au ieşit şapte vaci frumoase şi grase, care păşteau între trestii. 19 După ele au ieşit alte şapte vaci mici, foarte urâte şi sfrijite. Niciodată n-am văzut vaci atât de urâte în toată ţara Egiptului. 20 Vacile sfrijite şi urâte le-au mâncat pe primele şapte vaci grase; 21 dar după ce le-au mâncat, nimeni nu şi-ar fi dat seama că au făcut acest lucru, pentru că erau la fel de sfrijite ca şi înainte. Apoi m-am trezit. 22 Am adormit din nou şi am avut un alt vis: şapte spice de grâne, pline şi bune, creşteau pe acelaşi pai. 23 După ele au răsărit şapte spice uscate, slabe şi arse de vântul de răsărit. 24 Spicele slabe le-au înghiţit pe cele şapte spice bune. Le-am spus magicienilor aceste vise, dar nici unul nu mi le-a putut explica.

25 Atunci Iosif i-a zis lui Faraon:

– Visele lui Faraon reprezintă acelaşi lucru; Dumnezeu i-a descoperit ce urmează să facă. 26 Cele şapte vaci bune reprezintă şapte ani, iar cele şapte spice bune reprezintă tot şapte ani; este un singur vis. 27 Cele şapte vaci slabe şi urâte, care au ieşit după primele, reprezintă şapte ani, ca şi cele şapte spice goale, arse de vântul de răsărit. Ele reprezintă şapte ani de foamete. 28 Se va întâmpla exact aşa cum i-am spus lui Faraon; Dumnezeu i-a arătat lui Faraon ce urmează să facă. 29 Vor veni şapte ani de mare belşug în toată ţara Egiptului. 30 După ei vor veni şapte ani de foamete, astfel încât tot belşugul din ţara Egiptului va fi uitat. Foametea va pustii ţara; 31 belşugul nu va mai fi cunoscut în ţară din cauza foametei care va urma, pentru că ea va fi foarte grea. 32 Visul i-a fost arătat lui Faraon în două feluri, pentru că acest lucru este hotărât de Dumnezeu, iar Dumnezeu îl va împlini în curând. 33 De aceea Faraon să aleagă acum un om priceput şi înţelept şi să-l pună conducător peste ţara Egiptului. 34 Faraon să rânduiască supraveghetori peste ţara Egiptului şi să ia o cincime din rodul ţării în timpul celor şapte ani de belşug. 35 Ei să strângă toată hrana din aceşti ani buni care vin, să pună grânele pentru hrana celor din cetăţi sub stăpânirea lui Faraon şi să le păzească. 36 Hrana aceea va fi o rezervă pentru ţară în cei şapte ani de foamete care vor veni peste ţara Egiptului, astfel încât ţara să nu piară în timpul foametei.

Înălţarea lui Iosif

37 Lui Faraon şi tuturor slujitorilor săi li s-a părut potrivit planul. 38 Aşa că el le-a zis slujitorilor săi: „Vom putea noi găsi pe cineva ca acesta, în care să fie Duhul lui Dumnezeu[c]?“ 39 Apoi Faraon i-a zis lui Iosif:

– Pentru că Dumnezeu ţi-a descoperit toate acestea, nu este nimeni la fel de priceput şi de înţelept ca tine. 40 De aceea tu vei fi conducător peste curtea mea şi tot poporul meu va asculta de cuvântul tău; doar în ce priveşte tronul, eu voi fi mai mare decât tine. 41 Aşadar, te-am pus conducător peste toată ţara Egiptului.

42 Faraon şi-a scos inelul cu sigiliu din deget şi l-a pus pe degetul lui Iosif. L-a îmbrăcat în haine de in subţire, iar în jurul gâtului i-a pus un lanţ de aur. 43 Apoi l-a pus în carul care venea după al său[d] şi înaintea lui se striga: „Plecaţi genunchiul!“[e] Astfel, Faraon l-a pus pe Iosif conducător peste tot Egiptul. 44 De asemenea, el i-a mai spus lui Iosif:

– Eu sunt Faraon, dar fără consimţământul tău nimeni nu va face nimic în toată ţara Egiptului.“

45 Faraon i-a pus lui Iosif numele Ţafnat-Paneah[f] şi i-a dat-o de soţie pe Asnat, fiica lui Poti-Fera, preotul din On[g]. Iosif a plecat prin ţara Egiptului. 46 El avea treizeci de ani când a intrat în slujba monarhului Egiptului. Iosif a ieşit de la Faraon şi a călătorit prin tot Egiptul. 47 În timpul celor şapte ani de belşug, pământul a rodit foarte mult. 48 În timpul acestor şapte ani de belşug din ţara Egiptului, Iosif a adunat toată hrana şi a depozitat-o în cetăţi; în fiecare cetate el a depozitat hrana care provenea de pe câmpurile din jur. 49 Astfel, Iosif a strâns foarte multe grâne, ca nisipul mării, încât a încetat să le mai cântărească, deoarece erau foarte multe.

50 Înainte să vină anii de foamete, Asnat, fiica lui Poti-Fera, preotul din On, i-a născut lui Iosif doi fii. 51 Iosif i-a pus întâiului său născut numele Manase[h], zicând: „Aceasta pentru că Dumnezeu m-a făcut să uit toate necazurile mele şi toată familia tatălui meu.“ 52 Celui de-al doilea fiu i-a pus numele Efraim[i], zicând: „Aceasta pentru că Dumnezeu m-a făcut roditor în ţara durerii mele.“

53 Cei şapte ani de belşug din ţara Egiptului s-au sfârşit 54 şi au început şapte ani de foamete, aşa cum a spus Iosif. În toate ţările era foamete, dar în toată ţara Egiptului era pâine. 55 Când toată ţara Egiptului a flămânzit, poporul a strigat către Faraon după pâine. Faraon le-a zis tuturor egiptenilor: „Mergeţi la Iosif, şi el vă va spune ce să faceţi!“ 56 Foametea a cuprins întreaga ţară, iar Iosif a deschis toate locurile cu provizii şi le-a vândut grâne egiptenilor, deoarece foametea era grea în Egipt. 57 Şi, pentru că în întreaga lume foametea era grea, oameni din toate ţările veneau în Egipt ca să cumpere grâne de la Iosif.

Pharaoh’s Dreams

41 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream:(A) He was standing by the Nile,(B) 2 when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat,(C) and they grazed among the reeds.(D) 3 After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. 4 And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.(E)

5 He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain,(F) healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. 6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.(G) 7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up;(H) it had been a dream.

8 In the morning his mind was troubled,(I) so he sent for all the magicians(J) and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.(K)

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.(L) 10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants,(M) and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.(N) 11 Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.(O) 12 Now a young Hebrew(P) was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard.(Q) We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.(R) 13 And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.(S)”

14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.(T) When he had shaved(U) and changed his clothes,(V) he came before Pharaoh.

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.(W) But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”(X)

16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”(Y)

17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,(Z) 18 when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.(AA) 19 After them, seven other cows came up—scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt. 20 The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first. 21 But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.

22 “In my dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk. 23 After them, seven other heads sprouted—withered and thin and scorched by the east wind. 24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me.(AB)”

25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same.(AC) God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.(AD) 26 The seven good cows(AE) are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. 27 The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.(AF)

28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.(AG) 29 Seven years of great abundance(AH) are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine(AI) will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.(AJ) 31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. 32 The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided(AK) by God, and God will do it soon.(AL)

33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man(AM) and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.(AN) 34 Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners(AO) over the land to take a fifth(AP) of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.(AQ) 35 They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.(AR) 36 This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt,(AS) so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”

37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.(AT) 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[a]?”(AU)

39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(AV) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(AW) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(AX) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(AY) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(AZ)”

Joseph in Charge of Egypt

41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”(BA) 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring(BB) from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes(BC) of fine linen(BD) and put a gold chain around his neck.(BE) 43 He had him ride in a chariot(BF) as his second-in-command,[b](BG) and people shouted before him, “Make way[c]!”(BH) Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.(BI)

44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”(BJ) 45 Pharaoh gave Joseph(BK) the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest(BL) of On,[d](BM) to be his wife.(BN) And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.

46 Joseph was thirty years old(BO) when he entered the service(BP) of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance(BQ) the land produced plentifully. 48 Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities.(BR) In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. 49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea;(BS) it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.

50 Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.(BT) 51 Joseph named his firstborn(BU) Manasseh[e](BV) and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim[f](BW) and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful(BX) in the land of my suffering.”

53 The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, 54 and the seven years of famine(BY) began,(BZ) just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. 55 When all Egypt began to feel the famine,(CA) the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”(CB)

56 When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians,(CC) for the famine(CD) was severe throughout Egypt.(CE) 57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph,(CF) because the famine was severe everywhere.(CG)
