1Ἑγένετο δὲ μετὰ δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν Φαραω εἶδεν ἐνύπνιον. ᾤετο ἑστάναι ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.JOSEPH interpret's the Pharaoh's dreams. Gn.41.1-36After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ שְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים וּפַרְעֹה חֹלֵם וְהִנֵּה עֹמֵד עַל־הַיְאֹר׃ 1
2καὶ ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἑπτὰ βόες καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐβόσκοντο ἐν τῷ ἄχει· And lo, there came up as it were out of the river seven cows, fair in appearance, and choice of flesh, and they fed on the sedge. and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.וְהִנֵּה מִן־הַיְאֹר עֹלֹת שֶׁבַע פָּרֹות יְפֹות מַרְאֶה וּבְרִיאֹת בָּשָׂר וַתִּרְעֶינָה בָּאָחוּ׃ 2
3ἄλλαι δὲ ἑπτὰ βόες ἀνέβαινον μετὰ ταύτας ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐνέμοντο παρὰ τὰς βόας παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ· And other seven cows came up after these out of the river, ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, and fed by the [other] cows on the bank of the river. And behold, seven other cows, gaunt and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע פָּרֹות אֲחֵרֹות עֹלֹות אַחֲרֵיהֶן מִן־הַיְאֹר רָעֹות מַרְאֶה וְדַקֹּות בָּשָׂר וַתַּעֲמֹדְנָה אֵצֶל הַפָּרֹות עַל־שְׂפַת הַיְאֹר׃ 3
4καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς καλὰς τῷ εἴδει καὶ τὰς ἐκλεκτάς. ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραω. - And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke. And the gaunt and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke.וַתֹּאכַלְנָה הַפָּרֹות רָעֹות הַמַּרְאֶה וְדַקֹּת הַבָּשָׂר אֵת שֶׁבַע הַפָּרֹות יְפֹת הַמַּרְאֶה וְהַבְּרִיאֹת וַיִּיקַץ פַּרְעֹה׃ 4
5καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη τὸ δεύτερον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν πυθμένι ἑνὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ καλοί· And he dreamed again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good. And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.וַיִּישָׁן וַיַּחֲלֹם שֵׁנִית וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע שִׁבֳּלִים עֹלֹות בְּקָנֶה אֶחָד בְּרִיאֹות וְטֹבֹות׃ 5
6ἄλλοι δὲ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο μετ' αὐτούς· And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them. And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע שִׁבֳּלִים דַּקֹּות וּשְׁדוּפֹת קָדִים צֹמְחֹות אַחֲרֵיהֶן׃ 6
7καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις. ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραω, καὶ ἦν ἐνύπνιον. And the seven thin ears and blasted with the wind devoured the seven choice and full ears; and Pharao awoke, and it was a dream. And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.וַתִּבְלַעְנָה הַשִּׁבֳּלִים הַדַּקֹּות אֵת שֶׁבַע הַשִּׁבֳּלִים הַבְּרִיאֹות וְהַמְּלֵאֹות וַיִּיקַץ פַּרְעֹה וְהִנֵּה חֲלֹום׃ 7
8Ἑγένετο δὲ πρωῒ καὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστείλας ἐκάλεσεν πάντας τοὺς ἐξηγητὰς Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς Φαραω τὸ ἐνύπνιον, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων αὐτὸ τῷ Φαραω. And it was morning, and his soul was troubled; and he sent and called all the interpreters of Egypt, and all her wise men; and Pharao related to them his dream, and there was no one to interpret it to Pharao. So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.וַיְהִי בַבֹּקֶר וַתִּפָּעֶם רוּחֹו וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־כָּל־חַרְטֻמֵּי מִצְרַיִם וְאֶת־כָּל־חֲכָמֶיהָ וַיְסַפֵּר פַּרְעֹה לָהֶם אֶת־חֲלֹמֹו וְאֵין־פֹּותֵר אֹותָם לְפַרְעֹה׃ 8
9καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος πρὸς Φαραω λέγων Τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου ἀναμιμνῄσκω σήμερον· And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault: Then the chief butler said to Pharaoh, "I remember my faults today.וַיְדַבֵּר שַׂר הַמַּשְׁקִים אֶת־פַּרְעֹה לֵאמֹר אֶת־חֲטָאַי אֲנִי מַזְכִּיר הַיֹּום׃ 9
10Φαραω ὠργίσθη τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου, ἐμέ τε καὶ τὸν ἀρχισιτοποιόν. Pharao was angry with his servants, and put us in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker. When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,פַּרְעֹה קָצַף עַל־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתִי בְּמִשְׁמַר בֵּית שַׂר הַטַּבָּחִים אֹתִי וְאֵת שַׂר הָאֹפִים׃ 10
11καὶ εἴδομεν ἐνύπνιον ἐν νυκτὶ μιᾷ, ἐγώ τε καὶ αὐτός, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ αὑτοῦ ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν. And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream. we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.וַנַּחַלְמָה חֲלֹום בְּלַיְלָה אֶחָד אֲנִי וָהוּא אִישׁ כְּפִתְרֹון חֲלֹמֹו חָלָמְנוּ׃ 11
12ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ μεθ' ἡμῶν νεανίσκος παῖς Εβραῖος τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου, καὶ διηγησάμεθα αὐτῷ, καὶ συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν. And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew servant of the captain of the guard; and we related to him [our dreams], and he interpreted [them] to us. A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard; and when we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.וְשָׁם אִתָּנוּ נַעַר עִבְרִי עֶבֶד לְשַׂר הַטַּבָּחִים וַנְּסַפֶּר־לֹו וַיִּפְתָּר־לָנוּ אֶת־חֲלֹמֹתֵינוּ אִישׁ כַּחֲלֹמֹו פָּתָר׃ 12
13ἐγενήθη δὲ καθὼς συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν, οὕτως καὶ συνέβη, ἐμέ τε ἀποκατασταθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχήν μου, ἐκεῖνον δὲ κρεμασθῆναι. And it came to pass, as he interpreted them to us, so also it happened, both that I was restored to my office, and that he was hanged. And as he interpreted to us, so it came to pass; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged."וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר פָּתַר־לָנוּ כֵּן הָיָה אֹתִי הֵשִׁיב עַל־כַּנִּי וְאֹתֹו תָלָה׃ 13
14Ἀποστείλας δὲ Φαραω ἐκάλεσεν τὸν Ιωσηφ, καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος καὶ ἐξύρησαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤλλαξαν τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Φαραω. And Pharao having sent, called Joseph; and they brought him out from the prison, and shaved him, and changed his dress, and he came to Pharao. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.וַיִּשְׁלַח פַּרְעֹה וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־יֹוסֵף וַיְרִיצֻהוּ מִן־הַבֹּור וַיְגַלַּח וַיְחַלֵּף שִׂמְלֹתָיו וַיָּבֹא אֶל־פַּרְעֹה׃ 14
15εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ Ἑνύπνιον ἑώρακα, καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό· ἐγὼ δὲ ἀκήκοα περὶ σοῦ λεγόντων ἀκούσαντά σε ἐνύπνια συγκρῖναι αὐτά. And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning you that you have heard dreams and interpreted them. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; and I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף חֲלֹום חָלַמְתִּי וּפֹתֵר אֵין אֹתֹו וַאֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי עָלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר תִּשְׁמַע חֲלֹום לִפְתֹּר אֹתֹו׃ 15
16ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ιωσηφ τῷ Φαραω εἶπεν Ἄνευ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἀποκριθήσεται τὸ σωτήριον Φαραω. And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao. Joseph answered Pharaoh, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."וַיַּעַן יֹוסֵף אֶת־פַּרְעֹה לֵאמֹר בִּלְעָדָי אֱלֹהִים יַעֲנֶה אֶת־שְׁלֹום פַּרְעֹה׃ 16
17ἐλάλησεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ λέγων Ἑν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ᾤμην ἑστάναι παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ, And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream methought I stood by the bank of the river; Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;וַיְדַבֵּר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף בַּחֲלֹמִי הִנְנִי עֹמֵד עַל־שְׂפַת הַיְאֹר׃ 17
18καὶ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἑπτὰ βόες καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν καὶ ἐνέμοντο ἐν τῷ ἄχει· and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge. and seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass;וְהִנֵּה מִן־הַיְאֹר עֹלֹת שֶׁבַע פָּרֹות בְּרִיאֹות בָּשָׂר וִיפֹת תֹּאַר וַתִּרְעֶינָה בָּאָחוּ׃ 18
19καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ βόες ἕτεραι ἀνέβαινον ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ πονηραὶ καὶ αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξίν, οἵας οὐκ εἶδον τοιαύτας ἐν ὅλῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ αἰσχροτέρας· And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil and ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such that I never saw worse in all the land of Egypt. and seven other cows came up after them, poor and very gaunt and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע־פָּרֹות אֲחֵרֹות עֹלֹות אַחֲרֵיהֶן דַּלֹּות וְרָעֹות תֹּאַר מְאֹד וְרַקֹּות בָּשָׂר לֹא־רָאִיתִי כָהֵנָּה בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לָרֹעַ׃ 19
20καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς πρώτας τὰς καλὰς καὶ ἐκλεκτάς, And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows. And the thin and gaunt cows ate up the first seven fat cows,וַתֹּאכַלְנָה הַפָּרֹות הָרַקֹּות וְהָרָעֹות אֵת שֶׁבַע הַפָּרֹות הָרִאשֹׁנֹות הַבְּרִיאֹת׃ 20
21καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ διάδηλοι ἐγένοντο ὅτι εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν, καὶ αἱ ὄψεις αὐτῶν αἰσχραὶ καθὰ καὶ τὴν ἀρχήν. ἐξεγερθεὶς δὲ ἐκοιμήθην And they went into their bellies; and it was not perceptible that they had gone into their bellies, and their appearance was ill-favoured, as also at the beginning; and after I awoke I slept, but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as gaunt as at the beginning. Then I awoke.וַתָּבֹאנָה אֶל־קִרְבֶּנָה וְלֹא נֹודַע כִּי־בָאוּ אֶל־קִרְבֶּנָה וּמַרְאֵיהֶן רַע כַּאֲשֶׁר בַּתְּחִלָּה וָאִיקָץ׃ 21
22καὶ εἶδον πάλιν ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου, καὶ ὥσπερ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν πυθμένι ἑνὶ πλήρεις καὶ καλοί· and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good. I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good;וָאֵרֶא בַּחֲלֹמִי וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע שִׁבֳּלִים עֹלֹת בְּקָנֶה אֶחָד מְלֵאֹת וְטֹבֹות׃ 22
23ἄλλοι δὲ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν· And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them. and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,וְהִנֵּה שֶׁבַע שִׁבֳּלִים צְנֻמֹות דַּקֹּות שְׁדֻפֹות קָדִים צֹמְחֹות אַחֲרֵיהֶם׃ 23
24καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς καλοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις. εἶπα οὖν τοῖς ἐξηγηταῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων μοι. And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me. and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."וַתִּבְלַעְןָ הָשִׁבֳּלִים הַדַּקֹּת אֵת שֶׁבַע הַשִׁבֳּלִים הַטֹּבֹות וָאֹמַר אֶל־הַחַרְטֻמִּים וְאֵין מַגִּיד לִי׃ 24
25Καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσηφ τῷ Φαραω Τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω ἕν ἐστιν· ὅσα ὁ θεὸς ποιεῖ, ἔδειξεν τῷ Φαραω. And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shewn to Pharao. Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.וַיֹּאמֶר יֹוסֵף אֶל־פַּרְעֹה חֲלֹום פַּרְעֹה אֶחָד הוּא אֵת אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׂה הִגִּיד לְפַרְעֹה׃ 25
26αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ καλαὶ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν, καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ καλοὶ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν· τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω ἕν ἐστιν. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.שֶׁבַע פָּרֹת הַטֹּבֹת שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים הֵנָּה וְשֶׁבַע הַשִּׁבֳּלִימ הַטֹּבֹת שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים הֵנָּה חֲלֹום אֶחָד הוּא׃ 26
27καὶ αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ λεπταὶ αἱ ἀναβαίνουσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστίν, καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἔσονται ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ. And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine. The seven lean and gaunt cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.וְשֶׁבַע הַפָּרֹות הָרַקֹּות וְהָרָעֹת הָעֹלֹת אַחֲרֵיהֶן שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים הֵנָּה וְשֶׁבַע הַשִׁבֳּלִים הָרֵקֹות שְׁדֻפֹות הַקָּדִים יִהְיוּ שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי רָעָב׃ 27
28τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα, ὃ εἴρηκα Φαραω Ὅσα ὁ θεὸς ποιεῖ, ἔδειξεν τῷ Φαραω, And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatsoever God intends to do, he has shewn to Pharao: It is as I told Pharaoh, God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.הוּא הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶל־פַּרְעֹה אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׂה הֶרְאָה אֶת־פַּרְעֹה׃ 28
29ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἔρχεται εὐθηνία πολλὴ ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ· behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt. There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,הִנֵּה שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים בָּאֹות שָׂבָע גָּדֹול בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 29
30ἥξει δὲ ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἐπιλήσονται τῆς πλησμονῆς ἐν ὅλῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ ἀναλώσει ὁ λιμὸς τὴν γῆν, But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land. but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine will consume the land,וְקָמוּ שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי רָעָב אַחֲרֵיהֶן וְנִשְׁכַּח כָּל־הַשָּׂבָע בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וְכִלָּה הָרָעָב אֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃ 30
31καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἡ εὐθηνία ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ τοῦ ἐσομένου μετὰ ταῦτα· ἰσχυρὸς γὰρ ἔσται σφόδρα. And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine that shall be after this, for it shall be very grievous. and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of that famine which will follow, for it will be very grievous.וְלֹא־יִוָּדַע הַשָּׂבָע בָּאָרֶץ מִפְּנֵי הָרָעָב הַהוּא אַחֲרֵי־כֵן כִּי־כָבֵד הוּא מְאֹד׃ 31
32περὶ δὲ τοῦ δευτερῶσαι τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραω δίς, ὅτι ἀληθὲς ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ταχυνεῖ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτό. And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, [it is] because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it. And the doubling of Pharaoh's dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.וְעַל הִשָּׁנֹות הַחֲלֹום אֶל־פַּרְעֹה פַּעֲמָיִם כִּי־נָכֹון הַדָּבָר מֵעִם הָאֱלֹהִים וּמְמַהֵר הָאֱלֹהִים לַעֲשֹׂתֹו׃ 32
33νῦν οὖν σκέψαι ἄνθρωπον φρόνιμον καὶ συνετὸν καὶ κατάστησον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt. Now therefore let Pharaoh select a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.וְעַתָּה יֵרֶא פַרְעֹה אִישׁ נָבֹון וְחָכָם וִישִׁיתֵהוּ עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 33
34καὶ ποιησάτω Φαραω καὶ καταστησάτω τοπάρχας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀποπεμπτωσάτωσαν πάντα τὰ γενήματα τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῆς εὐθηνίας And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty. Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven plenteous years.יַעֲשֶׂה פַרְעֹה וְיַפְקֵד פְּקִדִים עַל־הָאָרֶץ וְחִמֵּשׁ אֶת־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּשֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע׃ 34
35καὶ συναγαγέτωσαν πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῶν ἐρχομένων τῶν καλῶν τούτων, καὶ συναχθήτω ὁ σῖτος ὑπὸ χεῖρα Φαραω, βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν φυλαχθήτω· And let them gather all the food of these seven good years that are coming, and let the corn be gathered under the hand of Pharao; let food be kept in the cities. And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and lay up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.וְיִקְבְּצוּ אֶת־כָּל־אֹכֶל הַשָּׁנִים הַטֹּבֹת הַבָּאֹת הָאֵלֶּה וְיִצְבְּרוּ־בָר תַּחַת יַד־פַּרְעֹה אֹכֶל בֶּעָרִים וְשָׁמָרוּ׃ 35
36καὶ ἔσται τὰ βρώματα πεφυλαγμένα τῇ γῇ εἰς τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ, ἃ ἔσονται ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ οὐκ ἐκτριβήσεται ἡ γῆ ἐν τῷ λιμῷ. And the stored food shall be for the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; and the land shall not be utterly destroyed by the famine. That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine which are to befall the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine."וְהָיָה הָאֹכֶל לְפִקָּדֹון לָאָרֶץ לְשֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הָרָעָב אֲשֶׁר תִּהְיֶיןָ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם וְלֹא־תִכָּרֵת הָאָרֶץ בָּרָעָב׃ 36
37Ἤρεσεν δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ἐναντίον Φαραω καὶ ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ, And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.JOSEPH: Governor of Egypt. Gn.41.37-57This proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל־עֲבָדָיו׃ 37
38καὶ εἶπεν Φαραω πᾶσιν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ Μὴ εὑρήσομεν ἄνθρωπον τοιοῦτον, ὃς ἔχει πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ; And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him? And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?"וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הֲנִמְצָא כָזֶה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בֹּו׃ 38
39εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ Ἑπειδὴ ἔδειξεν ὁ θεός σοι πάντα ταῦτα, οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος φρονιμώτερος καὶ συνετώτερός σου· And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has shewed you all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than you. So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are;וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אַחֲרֵי הֹודִיעַ אֱלֹהִים אֹותְךָ אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת אֵין־נָבֹון וְחָכָם כָּמֹוךָ׃ 39
40σὺ ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου ὑπακούσεται πᾶς ὁ λαός μου· πλὴν τὸν θρόνον ὑπερέξω σου ἐγώ. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to your word; only in the throne will I excel you. you shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command; only as regards the throne will I be greater than you."אַתָּה תִּהְיֶה עַל־בֵּיתִי וְעַל־פִּיךָ יִשַּׁק כָּל־עַמִּי רַק הַכִּסֵּא אֶגְדַּל מִמֶּךָּ׃ 40
41εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ Ἰδοὺ καθίστημί σε σήμερον ἐπὶ πάσης γῆς Αἰγύπτου. And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set you this day over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף רְאֵה נָתַתִּי אֹתְךָ עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 41
42καὶ περιελόμενος Φαραω τὸν δακτύλιον ἀπὸ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ περιέθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα Ιωσηφ καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν στολὴν βυσσίνην καὶ περιέθηκεν κλοιὸν χρυσοῦν περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ· And Pharao took his ring off his hand, and put it on the hand of Joseph, and put on him a robe of fine linen, and put a necklace of gold about his neck. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;וַיָּסַר פַּרְעֹה אֶת־טַבַּעְתֹּו מֵעַל יָדֹו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתָהּ עַל־יַד יֹוסֵף וַיַּלְבֵּשׁ אֹתֹו בִּגְדֵי־שֵׁשׁ וַיָּשֶׂם רְבִד הַזָּהָב עַל־צַוָּארֹו׃ 42
43καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δεύτερον τῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκήρυξεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ κῆρυξ· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐφ' ὅλης γῆς Αἰγύπτου. And he mounted him on the second of his chariots, and a herald made proclamation before him; and he set him over all the land of Egypt. and he made him to ride in his second chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow the knee!" Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.וַיַּרְכֵּב אֹתֹו בְּמִרְכֶּבֶת הַמִּשְׁנֶה אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וַיִּקְרְאוּ לְפָנָיו אַבְרֵךְ וְנָתֹון אֹתֹו עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 43
44εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω τῷ Ιωσηφ Ἑγὼ Φαραω· ἄνευ σοῦ οὐκ ἐξαρεῖ οὐθεὶς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου. And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without you no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt. Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲנִי פַרְעֹה וּבִלְעָדֶיךָ לֹא־יָרִים אִישׁ אֶת־יָדֹו וְאֶת־רַגְלֹו בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 44
45καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Φαραω τὸ ὄνομα Ιωσηφ Ψονθομφανηχ· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν Ασεννεθ θυγατέρα Πετεφρη ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως αὐτῷ γυναῖκα. And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephre, priest of Heliopolis, to wife. And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph'enath-pane'ah; and he gave him in marriage As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה שֵׁם־יֹוסֵף צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ וַיִּתֶּן־לֹו אֶת־אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹן לְאִשָּׁה וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף עַל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 45
46Ιωσηφ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν τριάκοντα, ὅτε ἔστη ἐναντίον Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου. Ἑξῆλθεν δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐκ προσώπου Φαραω καὶ διῆλθεν πᾶσαν γῆν Αἰγύπτου. And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharao, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharao, and went through all the land of Egypt. Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.וְיֹוסֵף בֶּן־שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה בְּעָמְדֹו לִפְנֵי פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ־מִצְרָיִם וַיֵּצֵא יֹוסֵף מִלִּפְנֵי פַרְעֹה וַיַּעֲבֹר בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 46
47καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ γῆ ἐν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν τῆς εὐθηνίας δράγματα· And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn]. During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly,וַתַּעַשׂ הָאָרֶץ בְּשֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע לִקְמָצִים׃ 47
48καὶ συνήγαγεν πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν, ἐν οἷς ἦν ἡ εὐθηνία ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἔθηκεν τὰ βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν, βρώματα τῶν πεδίων τῆς πόλεως τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἔθηκεν ἐν αὐτῇ. And he gathered all the food of the seven years, in which was the plenty in the land of Egypt; and he laid up the food in the cities; the food of the fields of a city round about it he laid up in it. and he gathered up all the food of the seven years when there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and stored up food in the cities; he stored up in every city the food from the fields around it.וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת־כָּל־אֹכֶל שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּתֶּן־אֹכֶל בֶּעָרִים אֹכֶל שְׂדֵה־הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבֹתֶיהָ נָתַן בְּתֹוכָהּ׃ 48
49καὶ συνήγαγεν Ιωσηφ σῖτον ὡσεὶ τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης πολὺν σφόδρα, ἕως οὐκ ἠδύναντο ἀριθμῆσαι, οὐ γὰρ ἦν ἀριθμός. And Joseph gathered very much corn as the sand of the sea, until it could not be numbered, for there was no number [of it]. And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.וַיִּצְבֹּר יֹוסֵף בָּר כְּחֹול הַיָּם הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַד כִּי־חָדַל לִסְפֹּר כִּי־אֵין מִסְפָּר׃ 49
50Τῷ δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐγένοντο υἱοὶ δύο πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ασεννεθ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρη ἱερέως Ἡλίου πόλεως. And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him. Before the year of famine came, Joseph had two sons, whom As'enath, the daughter of Poti'phera priest of On, bore to him.וּלְיֹוסֵף יֻלַּד שְׁנֵי בָנִים בְּטֶרֶם תָּבֹוא שְׁנַת הָרָעָב אֲשֶׁר יָלְדָה־לֹּו אָסְנַת בַּת־פֹּוטִי פֶרַע כֹּהֵן אֹון׃ 50
51ἐκάλεσεν δὲ Ιωσηφ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Μανασση, ὅτι Ἑπιλαθέσθαι με ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς πάντων τῶν πόνων μου καὶ πάντων τῶν τοῦ πατρός μου. And Joseph called the name of the first-born, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house. Joseph called the name of the first-born Manas'seh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father's house."וַיִּקְרָא יֹוסֵף אֶת־שֵׁם הַבְּכֹור מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי־נַשַּׁנִי אֱלֹהִים אֶת־כָּל־עֲמָלִי וְאֵת כָּל־בֵּית אָבִי׃ 51
52τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου ἐκάλεσεν Εφραιμ, ὅτι Ηὔξησέν με ὁ θεὸς ἐν γῇ ταπεινώσεώς μου. And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation. The name of the second he called E'phraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."וְאֵת שֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי קָרָא אֶפְרָיִם כִּי־הִפְרַנִי אֱלֹהִים בְּאֶרֶץ עָנְיִי׃ 52
53Παρῆλθον δὲ τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τῆς εὐθηνίας, ἃ ἐγένοντο ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt. The seven years of plenty that prevailed in the land of Egypt came to an end;וַתִּכְלֶינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הַשָּׂבָע אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 53
54καὶ ἤρξαντο τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ ἔρχεσθαι, καθὰ εἶπεν Ιωσηφ. καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ἐν δὲ πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἦσαν ἄρτοι. And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.וַתְּחִלֶּינָה שֶׁבַע שְׁנֵי הָרָעָב לָבֹוא כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יֹוסֵף וַיְהִי רָעָב בְּכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות וּבְכָל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם הָיָה לָחֶם׃ 54
55καὶ ἐπείνασεν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἐκέκραξεν δὲ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Φαραω περὶ ἄρτων· εἶπεν δὲ Φαραω πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις Πορεύεσθε πρὸς Ιωσηφ, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε. And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatsoever he shall tell you. 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."וַתִּרְעַב כָּל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיִּצְעַק הָעָם אֶל־פַּרְעֹה לַלָּחֶם וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה לְכָל־מִצְרַיִם לְכוּ אֶל־יֹוסֵף אֲשֶׁר־יֹאמַר לָכֶם תַּעֲשׂוּ׃ 55
56καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἦν ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς· ἀνέῳξεν δὲ Ιωσηφ πάντας τοὺς σιτοβολῶνας καὶ ἐπώλει πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις. And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians. So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.וְהָרָעָב הָיָה עַל כָּל־פְּנֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיִּפְתַּח יֹוסֵף אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם וַיִּשְׁבֹּר לְמִצְרַיִם וַיֶּחֱזַק הָרָעָב בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם׃ 56
57καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ χῶραι ἦλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀγοράζειν πρὸς Ιωσηφ· ἐπεκράτησεν γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ. And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth. Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.וְכָל־הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ מִצְרַיְמָה לִשְׁבֹּר אֶל־יֹוסֵף כִּי־חָזַק הָרָעָב בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ 57
