1 A nd it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

وَبَعْدَ سَنَتَينِ رَأى فِرعَوْنُ حُلْماً: كانَ واقِفاً عِندَ نَهْرِ النِّيلِ.

2 A nd, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.

وَرَأى سَبْعَ بَقَراتٍ خارِجاتٍ مِنَ النَّهْرِ. وَكانَتِ البَقَراتُ صَحِيحَةً وَسَمِينَةً. فَرَعَتْ وَأكَلَتْ بَينَ القَصَبِ.

3 A nd, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ سَبْعُ بَقَراتٍ أُخْرَى مِنْ نَهْرِ النِّيلِ، فَكانَتْ هَزِيلَةً وَبَدَتْ مَرِيضَةً. وَوَقَفَتْ إلَى جانِبِ البَقَراتِ الأُولَى عَلَى ضِفَّةِ النَّهْرِ.

4 A nd the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

فَأكَلَتِ البَقَراتُ الهَزِيلَةُ البَقَراتِ الصَّحِيحَةَ السَّمِينَةِ السَّبْعِ. ثُمَّ أفاقَ فِرعَوْنُ.

5 A nd he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good.

ثُمَّ عادَ إلَى النَّوْمِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى. وَرَأى حُلْماً آخَرَ. رَأى سَبْعَ سَنابِلَ مِنَ القَمْحِ مَلِيئَةٍ وَجَيِّدَةٍ تَنمُو عَلَى ساقٍ واحِدَةٍ.

6 A nd, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

ثُمَّ نَبَتَتْ بَعدَها سَبْعُ سَنابِلَ رَفِيعَةٍ وَمَلْفُوحَةٍ بِالرِّيحِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ.

7 A nd the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.

وَابْتَلَعَتِ السَّنابِلُ الرَّفِيعَةُ السَّنابِلَ المَلِيئَةَ الجَيِّدَةَ. ثُمَّ أفاقَ فِرعَوْنُ، وَإذا هُوَ حُلْمٌ.

8 A nd 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.

وَفِي الصَّباحِ كانَ فِرعَوْنُ مُنزَعِجَ البالِ. فَأرْسَلَ وَاسْتَدعَى كُلَّ سَحَرَةِ مِصْرَ وَكُلَّ حُكَمائِها. وَأخبَرَهُمْ بِالحُلْمَينِ اللَّذَينِ رَآهُما. لَكِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَنْ يُفَسِّرُهُما لَهُ.

9 T hen spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

لَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقاةِ كَلَّمَ فِرعَوْنَ بَعدَ ذَلِكَ وَقالَ: «أتَذَكَّرُ اليَوْمَ أخطائِي،

10 P haraoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:

وَأتَذَكَّرُ ما حَدَثَ عِندَما غَضِبَ سَيِّدِي فِرعَوْنَ مِنْ خادِمِهِ وَوَضَعَنِي فِي الحَبْسِ، فِي بَيتِ رَئِيسِ الحَرَسِ، أنا وَرَئِيسَ الخَبّازِينَ.

11 a nd we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

فَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّيلَةِ رَأينا نَحْنُ الاثْنَينِ حُلْمَينِ. وَكانَ لِكُلِّ حُلُمٍ مِنها مَعناهُ.

12 A nd there was with us there a young man, a 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.

وَكانَ مَعَنا شابٌّ عِبْرانِيٌّ، يَعْمَلُ لَدَى رَئِيسِ الحَرَسِ. فَأخبَرْناهُ بِحُلْمَينا، فَفَسَّرَهُما. فَسَّرَ لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنّا مَعْنَى حُلُمِهِ.

13 A nd it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

وَقَدْ حَدَثَ مَعَنا تَماماً كَما فَسَّرَ لَنا: أنا أُعِدْتُ إلَى وَظِيفَتِي، أمّا الخَبّازُ فَقُطِعَتْ رَأسُهُ.» استدعاءُ يُوسُفَ لتفسيرِ الحُلْمَين

14 T hen 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.

فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرعَوْنُ يُوسُفَ، فَأحضَرُوهُ مِنَ السِّجْنِ سَريعاً، وَحَلَقُوا لَهُ، وَبَدَّلُوا ثِيابَهُ، وَأحضَرُوهُ إلَى فِرعَوْنَ.

15 A nd 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 when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «رَأيتُ حُلْماً، لَكِنْ لَيسَ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ تَفْسِيرَهُ لِي. غَيرَ أنِّي سَمِعْتُ أنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ الأحلامَ فَتُفَسِّرَها عَلَى الفَورِ.»

16 A nd Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

فَقالَ يُوسُفُ: «اللهُ، لا أنا، هُوَ الَّذِي سَيُعطِي فِرعَوْنَ جَواباً شافِياً.»

17 A nd Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «كُنْتُ فِي حُلْمِي واقِفاً عَلَى ضِفَّةِ نَهْرِ النِّيلِ.

18 a nd, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass:

وَفَجأةً خَرَجَتْ سَبْعُ بَقَراتٍ سَميناتٍ وَصَحِيحاتٍ مِنَ النِّيلِ. وَراحَتْ تَرْعَى فِي مَرعَى القَصَبِ.

19 a nd, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

ثُمَّ ظَهَرَتْ سَبْعُ بَقَراتٍ أُخْرَى بَعدَها، كانَتْ ضَعِيفَةً وَرَفِيعَةً. لَمْ أرَ قَطُّ بَقَراتٍ أكْثَرَ قُبْحاً مِنْها فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ!

20 a nd the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

فَالتَهَمَتِ البَقَراتُ الهزِيلاتُ القَبِيحَاتُ البَقَراتِ السَّبْعَ السَّمِينَاتِ الَّتِي رَأيتُها أوَّلاً.

21 a nd when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

وَبَعدَ أنْ أكَلَتْها، لَمْ يَظهَرْ عَلَيها ما يُشِيرُ إلَى أنَّها أكَلَتْها، بَلْ بَقِيَتْ قَبِيحَةً كَما كانَتْ فِي البِدايَةِ. ثُمَّ اسْتَيقَظْتُ.

22 A nd I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:

«ثُمَّ رَأيتُ فِي حُلْمٍ آخَرَ سَبْعَ سَنابِلَ مِنَ القَمْحِ تَنمُو عَلَى ساقٍ واحِدَةٍ. وَكانَتْ مَلِيئَةً وَجَيِّدَةً.

23 a nd, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

ثُمَّ نَبَتَتْ بَعدَها سَبْعُ سَنابِلَ أُخْرَى ذاوِيَةٍ وَرَفِيعَةٍ كأنَّ ريحاً شَرقِيَّةً قَدْ لَفَحَتْها.

24 a nd the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

ثُمَّ ابتَلَعَتِ السَّنابِلُ السَّبْعُ الرَّفِيعَةُ السَّنابِلَ السَّبْعَ الجَيِّدَةَ. وَقَدْ أخبَرْتُ سَحَرَتِي بِحُلْمَيَّ، فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أنْ يُخبِرَنِي بِمَعْناهِما.» يُوسُفُ يفسّرُ الحُلْمَين

25 A nd Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh.

فَقالَ يُوسُفُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «إنَّ الحُلْمَينِ اللَّذينِ رَآهُما فِرعَوْنُ هُما صُورَتانِ لِحُلْمٍ واحِدٍ، وَلَهُما مَعنَىً واحِدٌ. فَقَدْ أعلَنَ اللهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ ما سَيَفْعَلُهُ قَرِيباً.

26 T he seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

فَالبَقَراتُ السَّبْعُ الجَيِّدَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ. وَالسَّنابِلُ السَّبْعُ الجَيِّدَةُ هِيَ سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ. فَلِلحُلْمَينِ مَعنَىً واحِدٌ.

27 A nd the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.

وَالبَقَراتُ السَّبْعُ القَبِيحَةُ الَّتِي خَرَجَتْ بَعدَها هِيَ سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ. وَالسَّنابِلُ السَّبْعُ الرَّفِيعَةُ المَلْفُوحَةُ بِالرِّيحِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ هِيَ سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ مِنَ الجُوعِ.

28 T hat is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh.

هَذِهِ هِيَ الرِّسالَةُ الَّتِي نَقَلْتُها إلَيكَ: لَقَدْ أعلَنَ اللهُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ ما سَيَفْعَلُهُ قَرِيباً.

29 B ehold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

فَها تَأْتِي سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ يَكُونُ فِيها طَعامٌ وَفِيرٌ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

30 a nd 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;

ثُمَّ تَأْتِي بَعْدَها سَبْعُ سَنَواتٍ مِنَ المَجاعَةِ. وَسَيَنْسَى النّاسُ كُلَّ وَفْرَةِ الطَّعامِ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَسَيَقْضِي الجُوعُ عَلَى البِلادِ.

31 a nd the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.

وَسَيُنْسَى زَمَنُ الوَفْرَةِ بِسَبَبِ المَجاعَةِ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ، لِأنَّها سَتَكُونُ قاسِيَةً.

32 A nd for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

«وَأمّا القَصْدُ مِنْ تِكْرارِ حُلْمِ فِرعَوْنَ مَرَّتَينِ فَهُوَ هَذا: لَقَدْ قَضَى اللهُ بِهَذا الأمْرِ، وَهُوَ سَيُعَجِّلُ بِحُدُوثِهِ.

33 N ow therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

وَالآنَ لِيَبْحَثْ فِرعَوْنُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ذَكِيٍّ وَحَكِيمٍ وَلْيَجعَلْهُ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

34 L et Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

وَلْيُعَيِّنْ فِرعَوْنُ مُشْرِفِينَ عَلَى الأرْضِ. وَلْيَأْخُذُوا خُمْسَ مَحْصُولِ الأرْضِ فِي سَنَواتِ الوَفْرَةِ السَّبْعِ.

35 A nd let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

وَلْيَجمَعُوا كُلَّ طَعامِ هَذِهِ السَّنَواتِ الخَيِّرَةِ القادِمَةِ، وَيُخَزِّنُوا القَمْحَ تَحتَ سُلْطَةِ المَلِكِ وَيَحرُسُوهُ.

36 A nd the food shall be for a 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.

وَلْيَكُنْ هَذا الطَّعامُ ذَخِيرَةً لِلبِلادِ طَوالَ سَنَواتِ المَجاعَةِ السَّبْعِ الَّتِي سَتَأْتِي عَلَى أرْضِ مِصْرَ. حِينَئِذٍ، لَنْ تَقضِيَ المَجاعَةُ عَلَى البِلادِ.»

37 A nd the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

فَوافَقَ فِرعَوْنُ وَكُلُّ وُزَرائِهِ عَلَى اقْتِراحِ يُوسُفَ.

38 A nd Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?

ثُمَّ قالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِوُزَرائِهِ: «أينَ لَنا أنْ نَجِدَ رَجُلاً كَهَذا فِيهِ رُوحُ اللهِ؟»

39 A nd Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou:

فَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «بِما أنَّ اللهَ بَيَّنَ لَكَ كُلَّ هَذا، فَإنَّهُ لا يُوجَدُ مَنْ هُوَ بِذَكائِكَ وَحِكْمَتِكَ.

40 t hou 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.

لِهَذا سَتَكُونُ أنتَ مُشْرِفاً عَلَى كُلِّ بَيتِي. وَكُلُّ شَعبِي سَيُطِيعُونَ أمْرَكَ. وَلا يَعلُو عَلَيكَ أحَدٌ غَيرِي.»

41 A nd Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

ثُمَّ قالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «ها قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ مَسْؤُولاً عَنْ كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.»

42 A nd Pharaoh took off his signet 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;

وَخَلَعَ فِرعَوْنُ خاتَمَ النَّقْشِ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَأعْطاهُ لِيُوسُفَ. وَألْبَسَهُ ثِياباً كِتّانِيَّةً مُمتازَةً. وَوَضَعَ قِلادَةً كَبِيرَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ حَولَ رَقَبَتِهِ.

43 a nd he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

ثُمَّ أرْكَبَهُ فِي عَرَبَتِهِ المَلَكِيَّةِ الثّانِيَةِ. وَصاحَ الجُنُودُ أمامَهُ: «أفْسِحُوا الطَّرِيقَ.» وَجَعَلَهُ مَسْؤُولاً عَنْ كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

44 A nd Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

وَقالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «أنا فِرعَوْنَ أمَرْتُ بِألّا يَفْعَلَ أحَدٌ فِي مِصْرَ شَيئاً دُونَ إذْنِكَ.»

45 A nd Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

وَأطلَقَ فِرعَوْنُ عَلَيهِ اسْمَ صَفْناتَ فَعْنِيحَ، وَزَوَّجَهُ أسْناتَ ابْنَةَ فُوطِي فارَعَ كاهِنِ مَدِينَةِ أُونَ. فَصارَ يُوسُفُ مَسْؤُولاً عَنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

46 A nd 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.

وَكانَ يُوسُفُ فِي الثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِندَما بَدَأ يَخدِمُ فِرعَوْنَ، مَلِكَ مِصْرَ. خَرَجَ يُوسُفُ مِنْ عِندِ فِرعَوْنَ، وَسافَرَ فِي كُلِّ أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

47 A nd in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

وَأنتَجَتِ الأرْضُ غَلَّةً وَفِيرَةً أثْناءَ سَنَواتِ الخَيرِ السَّبْعِ.

48 A nd 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.

فَجَمَعَ كُلَّ طَعامِ السَّنَواتِ السَّبْعِ فِي فَتْرَةِ الوَفْرَةِ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ. وَقامَ بِخَزْنِ الطَّعامِ فِي المُدُنِ. خَزَنَ يُوسُفُ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ الطَّعامَ المَأخُوذَ مِنَ الحُقُولِ الَّتِي حَولَها.

49 A nd Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number.

فَخَزَنَ يُوسُفُ قَمْحاً كَثِيراً مِثلَ رَملِ شَواطِئِ البَحْرِ. كانَ القَمْحُ وَفِيراً جِدّاً حَتَّى إنَّهُ تَوَقَّفَ عَنْ حِسابِ كَمِّياتِهِ، لِأنَّهُ لَمْ يَعُدْ مُمكِناً أنْ تُحسَبَ!

50 A nd unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bare unto him.

وَقَبلَ أنْ تَأْتِيَ سَنَواتُ المَجاعَةِ، رُزِقَ يُوسُفُ بِوَلَدَينِ. وَلَدَتْهُما لَهُ زَوجَتُهُ أسْناتُ، ابْنَةُ فُوطِي فارَعَ كاهِنِ مَدِينَةِ أُونَ.

51 A nd Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For, said he, God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

وَسَمَّى يُوسُفُ بِكْرَهُ مَنَسَّى. إذْ قالَ يُوسُفُ: «لَقَدْ أنسانِي اللهُ كُلَّ ضِيقِي هُنا وَكُلَّ بَيتِ أبِي.»

52 A nd the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.

وَسَمَّى ابْنَهُ الثّانِيَ أفْرايِمَ. فَقَدْ قالَ: «أعطانِي اللهُ أبْناءً فِي أرْضِ ضِيقاتِي.» بَدءُ المجاعة

53 A nd the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

ثُمَّ انتَهَتْ سَنَواتُ الوَفْرَةِ السَّبعُ فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

54 A nd the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

وَبَدَأتْ سَنَواتُ المَجاعَةِ، تَماماً كَما قالَ يُوسُفُ. كانَتِ المَجاعَةُ فِي كُلِّ الأقْطارِ. أمّا فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ فَكانَ هُناكَ طَعامٌ.

55 A nd 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.

وَصارَ الطَّعامُ شَحيحاً فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلِّها. وَبَدَأ النَّاسُ يَصْرُخُونَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ طالِبِينَ طَعاماً. فَكانَ فِرعَوْنُ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «اذْهَبُوا إلَى يُوسُفَ. وَافعَلُوا ما يَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ.»

56 A nd the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.

وَلَمّا سَادَتِ المَجاعَةُ فِي مِصْرَ كُلِّها، فَتَحَ يُوسُفُ مَخازِنَ القَمْحِ. وَباعَ القَمْحَ لِلمِصْرِيِّينَ. إذْ كانَتِ المَجاعَةُ قاسِيَةً فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ.

57 A nd all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth.

وَجاءَ النّاسُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أطْرافِ الأرْضِ إلَى يُوسُفَ فِي مِصْرَ لِيَشْتَرُوا قَمْحاً. فَقَدْ كانَتِ المَجاعَةُ قاسِيَةً فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.
