1 A , ka taka nga tau e rua, ka moe a Parao: na, i te taha ia o te awa e tu ana.

At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

2 N a, ko te putanga ake o nga kau e whitu i roto i te awa, he ahua pai, e whai kiko ana; a ka kai ratou i roto i nga wiwi.

Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

3 N a, ko te putanga ake ano o etahi kau e whitu i muri i a ratou i roto i te awa, he ahua kino, he kikokore: a tu ana ratou i te taha o era kau i te pareparenga o te awa.

Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

4 N a ka kainga e nga kau ahua kino, kikokore, nga kau ahua pai e whitu, nga mea momona. A ka ara ake a Parao.

The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

5 A ka parangia ano ia, na, ko te rua o ana moe: na, ko te putanga ake o nga puku witi e whitu, kotahi ano hoki te kakau, he mea whai kiko, he pai.

He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

6 N a, ko nga puku e whitu e tupu ake ana i muri i era, he mea kikokore, he mea ngingio i te marangai.

Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

7 A horomia ake nga puku whai kiko e whitu, nga mea whai kai, e nga puku kikokore e whitu. Ko te aranga ake o Parao, na, he moe!

The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

8 A , i te ata, na, ka pororaru tona wairua; a ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i nga tohunga maori katoa o Ihipa, me nga mea mohio katoa o reira: a korerotia atu ana tana moe e Parao ki a ratou: otiia kihai i taea e tetahi te whakaatu i te tikanga o aua moe ki a Parao.

In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9 N a ka korero te tino kaiwhakainu ki a Parao, ka mea, Katahi ahau ka mahara ki oku he.

Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.

10 I riri mai a Parao ki ana pononga, a i tuku i ahau kia puritia ki roto ki te whare o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ahau me te tino kaihanga taro.

Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

11 A ka moe maua i tetahi moe i te po kotahi, ahau, a ia hoki; i moe maua, ahau, a ia, me te tikanga ano o a maua moe.

We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

12 N a i reira i a maua tetahi taitama Hiperu, he pononga na te rangatria o nga kaitiaki; a ka korerotia e maua ki a ia, a whakaaturia mai ana e ia te tikanga o a maua moe ki a maua; rite tonu tana whakaaturanga ki ta tera moe, ki taku.

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 interpreted.

13 A tika tonu tana i whakaatu ai ki a maua: ko ahau i whakahokia e ia ki taku mahi, ko tera i taronatia.

As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

14 N a ka tono tangata a Parao, hei karanga i a Hohepa, a ka hohoro ratou te mau mai i a ia i roto i te whare herehere: na ka heu ia i a ia, ka tango i etahi kakahu ke mona, a haere ana ki a Parao.

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

15 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, I moe ahau i tetahi moe, a kahore he tangata hei whakaatu i tona tikanga: na kua tae mai tou rongo ki ahau, e korerotia ana ki te rongo koe i te moe ka taea e koe te whakaatu tona tikanga.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

16 N a ka whakahoki a Hohepa ki a Parao, ka mea, Ehara i ahau: ma te Atua e whakahoki te kupu pai ki a Parao.

Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

17 N a ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, I ahau e moe ana, na, e tu ana ahau i te pareparenga o te awa:

Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

18 N a, ka puta ake i te awa nga kau e whitu, he mea whai kiko, he ahua pai; a ka kai ratou i roto i nga wiwi:

and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

19 N a, ko te putanga ake o etahi atu kau e whitu i muri i era, he hiroki, he ahua kino noa iho, he kikokore, kahore ahau i kite i to ratou rite te kino i te whenua katoa o Ihipa;

and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

20 N a ka kainga nga kau e whitu o mua, nga mea momona, e nga kau kiroki, e nga mea kino:

The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

21 A , i to ratou toremitanga ki roto i a ratou, e kore e mohiotia kua toremi ratou ki roto i a ratou; he mau tonu hoki to ratou ahua kino, he pera me to te timatanga. Na ka ara ahau.

and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

22 N a i kite ano ahau i ahau e moe ana, ko nga puku witi e whitu e tupu ake ana i te kakau kotahi, he mea whai kai, he mea pai:

I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

23 N a ko nga puku e whitu, he mea taramore, he mea kikokore, i ngingio nei i te marangai, e tupu ake ana i muri i aua puku;

and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

24 A horomia ake nga puku papai e whitu e nga puku kikokore: na ka korerotia e ahau ki nga tohunga maori; a kahore tetahi hei whakaatu ki ahau.

The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

25 N a ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a Parao, Ko te moe a Parao kotahi tonu: e whakaaturia ana e te Atua ki a Parao nga mea e meatia ana e ia.

Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

26 K o nga kau pai e whitu, e whitu nga tau; ko nga puku pai ano e whitu, e whitu nga tau: kotahi ano te moe.

The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

27 A ko nga kau hiroki e whitu, ko nga mea kino i puta ake ra i muri i a ratou, e whitu ena nga tau; a ko nga puku witi e whitu, ko nga mea i ngingio i te marangai, e whitu ena nga tau matekai.

The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

28 K o te mea tena i korerotia e ahau ki a Parao: ko ta te Atua e mea ai e whakakitea ana e ia ki a Parao.

That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

29 N ana, e whitu nga tau e haere mai nei e nui ai te hua o te whenua katoa o Ihipa:

Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

30 A e whitu nga tau matekai e ara ake i muri i era; a ka wareware katoa te hua i te whenua o Ihipa; a ka ngaro te whenua i te matekai;

There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

31 A e kore taua hua e mohiotia e te whenua, i taua matekai hoki o muri; no te mea he tino nanakia.

and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

32 A , i tuaruatia ai te moe a Parao, he mea pumau na te Atua, ka hohoro ano te meatia e te Atua.

The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

33 N a reira, me titiro e Parao tetahi tangata mihio, whai whakaaro, kia tukua e ia nga tikanga o te whenua o Ihipa ki a ia.

“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34 K ia meatia tenei e Parao, kia whakaritea hoki e ia etahi kaitirotiro mo te whenua, a kia tangohia e ia te rima o nga wahi o te whenua o Ihipa i nga tau hua e whitu.

Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.

35 K ia kohia hoki nga kai katoa o enei tau pai e haere ake nei, kia amitia mai hoki he witi ki raro i te ringa o Parao, kia tohungia ano hoki he kai i roto i nga pa.

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.

36 N a ka pae taua kai ma te whenua mo nga tau matekai e whitu e puta mai ana ki te whenua o Ihipa; e kore ai e ngaro te whenua i te matekai.

The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine.”

37 A he pai taua mea ki te titiro a Parao ki te titiro hoki a ana tangata katoa.

The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

38 N a ka mea a Parao ki ana tangata, E kitea ranei e tatou he penei, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua o te Atua?

Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

39 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Na, kua whakakitea nei e te Atua enei mea katoa ki a koe, kahore hoki he tangata hei rite mou, te mohio, te whai whakaaro:

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

40 K o koe hei rangatira mo toku whare, a ma tau kupu toku iwi katoa e tohutohu; ko te torona anake te mea e nui ake ai ahau i a koe.

You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

41 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Titiro, kua waiho nei koe e ahau hei rangatira mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

42 N a ka tangohia e Parao tona mowhiti i tona ringa, a kuhua ana e ia ki te ringa o Hohepa, i whakakakahuria hoki ia e ia ki nga kakahu rinena pai, a whakaheia ana he hei koura ki tona kaki:

Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

43 I whakaekea ano ia e ia ki runga ki te tuarua o ona hariata; a ka karangatia e ratou i mua i a ia, Kia piko te turi: ka waiho ia e ia hei rangatira mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.

44 I mea ano a Parao ki a Hohepa, Ko Parao ahau, a ki te kahore koe, e kore e ara ake te ringa, te waewae ranei o tetahi i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”

45 N a ka huaina e Parao te ingoa o Hohepa ko Tawhanatapaneaha; a i homai ano e ia hei wahine mana, a Ahenata, tamahine a Potiwhera, tohunga o Ono. Na ka haere a Hohepa a puta noa i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

46 E toru tekau nga tau o Hohepa i tona turanga i te aroaro o Parao, o te kingi o Ihipa. Na ka puta atu a Hohepa i te aroaro o Parao, a ka haere a puta noa i te whenua katoa o Ihipa.

Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

47 A , i nga tau hua e whitu, me te mea he aohanga na te ringa te hua o te whenua.

In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.

48 N a ka kohia e ia nga kai katoa o nga tau e whitu i puta ki te whenua o Ihipa, a rongoatia ana te kai ki nga pa: ko te kai o te mara i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o te pa, i rongoatia e ia ki taua pa ano.

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 around every city, he laid up in the same.

49 H eoi amitia ana e Hohepa he witi, me te mea ko te onepu o te moana, he hira whakaharahara; a whakarerea noatia iho e ia te tatau: kahore hoki i taea te tatau.

Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

50 N a ka whanau nga tama tokorua a Hohepa, i te mea kahore ano kia puta noa nga tau matekai, i whanau hoki i a raua ko Ahenata tamahine a Potiwhera tohunga o Ono.

To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

51 A i huaina e Hohepa te ingoa o te matamua ko Manahi: No te mea, e ki ana ia, kua meinga ahau e te Atua kia wareware ki taku mahi nui katoa, ki te whare katoa ano hoki o toku papa.

Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”

52 A i huaina e ia te ingoa o te tuarua ko Eparaima: Moku hoki i meinga e te Atua kia hua ki te whenua o toku tangihanga.

The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53 N a ka taka nga tau hua e whitu i puta mai ra ki te whenua o Ihipa.

The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

54 A ka timata nga tau matekai e whitu te puta ake, ka pera hoki me ta Hohepa i korero ai: a i nga whenua katoa te matekai; ko te whenua katoa ia o Ihipa i whai taro.

The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

55 N a, i te matenga o te whenua katoa o Ihipa i te kai, ka tangi te iwi ki a Parao ki te taro ma ratou: a ka mea a Parao ki nga Ihipiana katoa, Haere ki a Hohepa; me mea e koutou tana e mea ai ki a koutou.

When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”

56 N a i runga i te mata katoa o te whenua te matekai: a ka wahia e Hohepa nga toa katoa, a hokona ana e ia ki nga Ihipiana; he nanakia hoki te matekai i te whenua o Ihipa.

The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

57 A ka haere nga whenua katoa ki Ihipa, ki a Hohepa, ki te hoko witi; no te mea he nui rawa te matekai o nga whenua katoa.

All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
