1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Ikawa, mwisho wa miaka miwili mizima, Farao akaota ndoto; na tazama, amesimama kando ya mto.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Na tazama, ng'ombe saba wazuri, wanono, walipanda kutoka mtoni, wakajilisha manyasini.
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.
Na tazama, ng'ombe saba wengine wakapanda nyuma yao kutoka mtoni, wabaya, wamekonda, wakasimama karibu na wale ng'ombe wengine ukingoni mwa mto.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Kisha hao ng'ombe wabaya waliokonda wakawala wale ng'ombe saba wazuri, wanono. Basi Farao akaamka.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Akalala, akaota ndoto mara ya pili. Tazama, masuke saba yalimea katika bua moja, makubwa, mema.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Na tazama, masuke saba membamba, yamekaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakatokeza baada yao.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Kisha hayo masuke membamba saba yakayala yale masuke saba makubwa yaliyojaa. Basi Farao akaamka, kumbe! Ni ndoto tu.
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.
Hata asubuhi roho yake ikafadhaika; akapeleka watu kuwaita waganga wote wa Misri, na watu wote wenye hekima walioko. Farao akawahadithia ndoto yake, wala hakuna aliyeweza kumfasiria Farao mambo hayo.
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Basi mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamwambia Farao akisema, Nayakumbuka makosa yangu leo.
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:
Farao aliwakasirikia watumwa wake, akanitia nifungwe nyumbani mwa mkuu wa askari, mimi na mkuu wa waokaji.
11 and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Tukaota ndoto usiku mmoja, mimi na yeye; kila mtu kwa tafsiri ya ndoto yake tukaota.
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.
Na huko pamoja nasi palikuwa na kijana; Mwebrania, mtumishi wa mkuu wa askari, tukamhadithia, naye akatufasiria ndoto zetu; akamfasiria kila mtu kama ilivyokuwa ndoto yake.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
Ikawa, kama vile alivyotufasiria ndivyo ilivyotokea; mimi nalirudishwa katika kazi yangu, na yeye alitundikwa.
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.
Ndipo Farao akapeleka watu, akamwita Yusufu, wakamleta upesi kutoka gerezani. Akanyoa, akabadili nguo zake, na kuingia kwa Farao.
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.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, Nimeota ndoto, wala hakuna awezaye kunifasiria; nami nimesikia habari zako, ya kwamba, usikiapo ndoto, waweza kuifasiri.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Yusufu akamjibu Farao, akisema, Si mimi; Mungu atampa Farao majibu ya amani.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, Katika ndoto yangu nalikuwa nikisimama ukingoni mwa mto;
18 and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
na tazama, ng'ombe saba wanatoka mtoni, wanono, wazuri, wakajilisha manyasini.
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:
Kisha, tazama, ng'ombe saba wengine wakapanda baada yao, dhaifu, wabaya sana, wamekonda; katika nchi yote ya Misri sijaona kama hao kwa udhaifu.
20 and the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
Na hao ng'ombe waliokonda, wabaya, wakawala wale ng'ombe saba wa kwanza, wale wanono.
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.
Na walipokwisha kuwala haikutambulikana ya kwamba wamewala, bali wakaonekana wabaya kama kwanza. Basi nikaamka.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
Kisha nikaona katika ndoto yangu, na tazama, masuke saba yanatokeza katika bua moja, mema, yamejaa.
23 and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
Na tazama, masuke saba membamba, dhaifu, yamekaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yakatokeza baada yao.
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.
Na hayo masuke dhaifu yakameza yale masuke saba mema. Nami nikawaambia hao waganga, wala hakuna aliyeweza kunionyesha maana yake.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Yusufu akamwambia Farao, Ndoto ya Farao ni moja; Mungu amemwonyesha Farao atakayoyafanya hivi karibu.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Wale ng'ombe saba wema ni miaka saba; na yale masuke saba mema ni miaka saba. Ndoto ni moja.
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.
Na wale ng'ombe saba, dhaifu, wabaya, waliopanda baada yao, ni miaka saba; na yale masuke saba matupu yaliyokaushwa na upepo wa mashariki, yatakuwa miaka saba ya njaa.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Ndivyo nilivyomwambia Farao, ya kwamba Mungu amemwonyesha Farao atakayoyafanya hivi karibu.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Tazama, miaka saba ya shibe inakuja, katika nchi yote ya Misri.
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;
Kisha kutakuja miaka saba ya njaa baada yake; na shibe ile yote itasahauliwa katika nchi ya Misri, na njaa itaiharibu nchi.
31 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
Wala shibe ile haitajulikana katika nchi kwa sababu ya njaa inayokuja baadaye, maana itakuwa nzito sana.
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.
Na ndoto ya Farao kwa vile ilivyokuja mara mbili, ni kwa sababu neno hilo Mungu amelithibitisha, na Mungu atalitimiza upesi.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Basi, Farao na ajitafutie mtu wa akili na hekima amweke juu ya nchi ya Misri.
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.
Farao na afanye hivi, tena akaweke wasimamizi juu ya nchi, na kutwaa sehemu ya tano katika nchi ya Misri, katika miaka hii saba ya kushiba.
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.
Na wakusanye chakula chote cha miaka hii myema ijayo, wakaweke akiba ya nafaka mkononi mwa Farao wakakilinde kuwa chakula katika miji.
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.
Na hicho chakula kitakuwa akiba ya nchi kwa ajili ya miaka hiyo saba ya njaa, itakayokuwa katika nchi ya Misri, nchi isiharibike kwa njaa.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Neno hilo likawa jema machoni pa Farao, na machoni pa watumwa wake wote.
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 ?
Farao akawaambia watumwa wake, Tupate wapi mtu kama huyu, mwenye roho ya Mungu ndani yake?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, Kwa kuwa Mungu amekufahamisha hayo yote, hapana mwenye akili na hekima kama wewe.
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.
Basi wewe utakuwa juu ya nyumba yangu, na kwa neno lako watu wangu watatawaliwa. Katika kiti cha enzi tu nitakuwa mkuu kuliko wewe.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, Tazama, nimekuweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
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;
Farao akavua pete yake ya muhuri mkononi mwake, akaitia mkononi mwa Yusufu; akamvika mavazi ya kitani nzuri, na kumtia mkufu wa dhahabu shingoni mwake.
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.
Akampandisha katika gari lake la pili alilokuwa nalo. Na watu wakapiga kelele mbele yake, Pigeni magoti. Hivyo akamweka juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.
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.
Farao akamwambia Yusufu, Mimi ni Farao, na bila amri yako, mtu asiinue mkono wala mguu katika nchi yote ya Misri.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
Farao akamwita Yusufu, Safenath-panea; akamwoza Asenathi, binti Potifera, kuhani wa Oni, kuwa mkewe Yusufu akaenda huko na huko katika nchi yote ya Misri.
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.
Naye Yusufu alikuwa mwenye miaka thelathini, aliposimama mbele ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Yusufu akatoka mbele ya uso wa Farao, akapita katika nchi yote ya Misri.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Ikawa katika miaka ile saba ya shibe, nchi ikazaa kwa wingi.
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.
Akakusanya chakula chote cha miaka ile saba katika nchi ya Misri. Akaweka chakula katika miji; chakula cha mashamba yaliyouzunguka kila mji, akakiweka ndani yake.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
Yusufu akakusanya nafaka kama mchanga wa pwani, nyingi mno, hata akaacha kuhesabu, maana ilikuwa haina hesabu.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
Kabla ya kuja miaka ya njaa, Yusufu akazaliwa wana wawili, ambao Asenathi, binti Potifera, kuhani wa Oni, alimzalia.
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.
Yusufu akamwita jina lake yule aliyezaliwa kwanza, Manase, maana alisema, Mungu amenisahaulisha taabu zangu zote, na nyumba yote ya baba yangu.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Na wa pili akamwita jina lake Efraimu, maana alisema, Mungu amenipa uzazi katika nchi ya mateso yangu.
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Miaka ile saba ya shibe ikaisha katika nchi ya Misri,
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.
ikaanza kuja miaka ile saba ya njaa, kama vile Yusufu alivyosema. Kukawa na njaa katika nchi zote, bali katika nchi yote ya Misri palikuwa na chakula.
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.
Na nchi yote ya Misri ilipoona njaa, watu walimlilia Farao awape chakula. Farao akawaambia Wamisri wote, Enendeni kwa Yusufu; atakavyowaambia, fanyeni.
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.
Njaa ikawa katika dunia yote pia. Yusufu akazifungua ghala zote, akawauzia Wamisri. Njaa ikawa nzito katika nchi ya Misri.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
Watu wa nchi zote wakaja Misri kwa Yusufu; ili wanunue nafaka; kwa sababu njaa imekuwa nzito katika dunia yote.
