| [1]And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. |
[1]Post duos annos vidit Pharao somnium. Putabat se stare super fluvium, |
| [2]And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. |
[2]de quo ascendebant septem boves, pulchræ et crassæ nimis: et pascebantur in locis palustribus. |
| [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. |
[3]Aliæ quoque septem emergebant de flumine, fœdæ confectæque macie: et pascebantur in ipsa amnis ripa in locis virentibus: |
| [4]And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. |
[4]devoraveruntque eas, quarum mira species et habitudo corporum erat. Expergefactus Pharao, |
| [5]And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. |
[5]rursum dormivit, et vidit alterum somnium: septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque formosæ: |
| [6]And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. |
[6]aliæ quoque totidem spicæ tenues, et percussæ uredine oriebantur, |
| [7]And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream. |
[7]devorantes omnium priorum pulchritudinem. Evigilans Pharao post quietem, |
| [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. |
[8]et facto mane, pavore perterritus, misit ad omnes conjectores Ægypti, cunctosque sapientes, et accersitis narravit somnium, nec erat qui interpretaretur. |
| [9]Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: |
[9]Tunc demum reminiscens pincernarum magister, ait: Confiteor peccatum meum: |
| [10]Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put them in ward in the captain of the guard's house, [both] me and the chief baker: |
[10]iratus rex servis suis, me et magistrum pistorum retrudi jussit in carcerem principis militum: |
| [11]And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. |
[11]ubi una nocte uterque vidimus somnium præsagum futurorum. |
| [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. |
[12]Erat ibi puer hebræus, ejusdem ducis militum famulus: cui narrantes somnia, |
| [13]And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. |
[13]audivimus quidquid postea rei probavit eventus; ego enim redditus sum officio meo, et ille suspensus est in cruce. |
| [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. |
[14]Protinus ad regis imperium eductum de carcere Joseph totonderunt: ac veste mutata obtulerunt ei. |
| [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. |
[15]Cui ille ait: Vidi somnia, nec est qui edisserat: quæ audivi te sapientissime conjicere. |
| [16]And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. |
[16]Respondit Joseph: Absque me Deus respondebit prospera Pharaoni. |
| [17]And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: |
[17]Narravit ergo Pharao quod viderat: Putabam me stare super ripam fluminis, |
| [18]And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: |
[18]et septem boves de amne conscendere, pulchras nimis, et obesis carnibus: quæ in pastu paludis virecta carpebant. |
| [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: |
[19]Et ecce, has sequebantur aliæ septem boves, in tantum deformes et macilentæ, ut numquam tales in terra Ægypti viderim: |
| [20]And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: |
[20]quæ, devoratis et consumptis prioribus, |
| [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. |
[21]nullum saturitatis dedere vestigium: sed simili macie et squalore torpebant. Evigilans, rursus sopore depressus, |
| [22]And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: |
[22]vidi somnium. Septem spicæ pullulabant in culmo uno plenæ atque pulcherrimæ. |
| [23]And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: |
[23]Aliæ quoque septem tenues et percussæ uredine, oriebantur e stipula: |
| [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. |
[24]quæ priorum pulchritudinem devoraverunt. Narravi conjectoribus somnium, et nemo est qui edisserat. |
| [25]And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is] one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do. |
[25]Respondit Joseph: Somnium regis unum est: quæ facturus est Deus, ostendit Pharaoni. |
| [26]The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one. |
[26]Septem boves pulchræ, et septem spicæ plenæ, septem ubertatis anni sunt: eamdemque vim somnii comprehendunt. |
| [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. |
[27]Septem quoque boves tenues atque macilentæ, quæ ascenderunt post eas, et septem spicæ tenues, et vento urente percussæ, septem anni venturæ sunt famis. |
| [28]This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God [is] about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. |
[28]Qui hoc ordine complebuntur: |
| [29]Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: |
[29]ecce septem anni venient fertilitatis magnæ in universa terra Ægypti, |
| [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; |
[30]quos sequentur septem anni alii tantæ sterilitatis, ut oblivioni tradatur cuncta retro abundantia: consumptura est enim fames omnem terram, |
| [31]And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous. |
[31]et ubertatis magnitudinem perditura est inopiæ magnitudo. |
| [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. |
[32]Quod autem vidisti secundo ad eamdem rem pertinens somnium: firmitatis indicium est, eo quod fiat sermo Dei, et velocius impleatur. |
| [33]Now therefore let Pharaoh look him out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. |
[33]Nunc ergo provideat rex virum sapientem et industrium, et præficiat eum terræ Ægypti: |
| [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. |
[34]qui constituat præpositos per cunctas regiones: et quintam partem fructuum per septem annos fertilitatis, |
| [35]And let them gather all the food of seven good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. |
[35]qui jam nunc futuri sunt, congreget in horrea: et omne frumentum sub Pharaonis potestate condatur, serveturque in urbibus. |
| [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. |
[36]Et præparetur futuræ septem annorum fami, quæ oppressura est Ægyptum, et non consumetur terra inopia. |
| [37]And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. |
[37]Placuit Pharaoni consilium et cunctis ministris ejus: |
| [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]? |
[38]locutusque est ad eos: Num invenire poterimus talem virum, qui spiritu Dei plenus sit? |
| [39]And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]: |
[39]Dixit ergo ad Joseph: Quia ostendit tibi Deus omnia quæ locutus es, numquid sapientiorem et consimilem tui invenire potero? |
| [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. |
[40]Tu eris super domum meam, et ad tui oris imperium cunctus populus obediet: uno tantum regni solio te præcedam. |
| [41]And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. |
[41]Dixitque rursus Pharao ad Joseph: Ecce, constitui te super universam terram Ægypti. |
| [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; |
[42]Tulitque annulum de manu sua, et dedit eum in manu ejus: vestivitque eum stola byssina, et collo torquem auream circumposuit. |
| [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. |
[43]Fecitque eum ascendere super currum suum secundum, clamante præcone, ut omnes coram eo genu flecterent, et præpositum esse scirent universæ terræ Ægypti. |
| [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. |
[44]Dixit quoque rex ad Joseph: Ego sum Pharao: absque tuo imperio non movebit quisquam manum aut pedem in omni terra Ægypti. |
| [45]And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaph-nath-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. |
[45]Vertitque nomen ejus, et vocavit eum, lingua ægyptiaca, Salvatorem mundi. Deditque illi uxorem Aseneth filiam Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. Egressus est itaque Joseph ad terram Ægypti |
| [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. |
[46](triginta autem annorum erat quando stetit in conspectu regis Pharaonis), et circuivit omnes regiones Ægypti. |
| [47]And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. |
[47]Venitque fertilitas septem annorum: et in manipulos redactæ segetes congregatæ sunt in horrea Ægypti. |
| [48]And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were seven years 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. |
[48]Omnis etiam frugum abundantia in singulis urbibus condita est. |
| [49]And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number. |
[49]Tantaque fuit abundantia tritici, ut arenæ maris coæquaretur, et copia mensuram excederet. |
| [50]And unto Joseph they were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him. |
[50]Nati sunt autem Joseph filii duo antequam veniret fames: quos peperit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos. |
| [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. |
[51]Vocavitque nomen primogeniti Manasses, dicens: Oblivisci me fecit Deus omnium laborum meorum, et domus patris mei. |
| [52]And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. |
[52]Nomen quoque secundi appellavit Ephraim, dicens: Crescere me fecit Deus in terra paupertatis meæ. |
| [53]And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. |
[53]Igitur transactis septem ubertatis annis, qui fuerant in Ægypto, |
| [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. |
[54]cœperunt venire septem anni inopiæ, quos prædixerat Joseph: et in universo orbe fames prævaluit, in cuncta autem terra Ægypti panis erat. |
| [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. |
[55]Qua esuriente, clamavit populus ad Pharaonem, alimenta petens. Quibus ille respondit: Ite ad Joseph: et quidquid ipse vobis dixerit, facite. |
| [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. |
[56]Crescebat autem quotidie fames in omni terra: aperuitque Joseph universa horrea, et vendebat Ægyptiis: nam et illos oppresserat fames. |
| [57]And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy [corn]; because that the famine was [so] sore in all lands. |
[57]Omnesque provinciæ veniebant in Ægyptum, ut emerent escas, et malum inopiæ temperarent. |
