1Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν, Φαραὼ εἶδεν ἐνύπνιον· ᾤετο ἑστάναι ἐπὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ.
1After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
2Καὶ ἰδοὺ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἐπτὰ βόες, καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει, καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶ, καὶ ἐβόσκοντο ἐν τῷ Ἄχει.
2Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
3Ἄλλαι δὲ ἑπτὰ βόες ἀνέβαινον μετὰ ταύτας ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει, καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶ, καὶ ἐνέμοντο παρὰ τὰς βόας ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ.
3Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
4Καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς καλὰς τῷ εἴδει καὶ τὰς ἐκλεκτὰς ταῖς σαρξί· ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραώ.
4And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
5Καὶ ἐνυπνιάσθη τὸ δεύτερον· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν τῷ πυθμένι ἑνὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ καλοί.
5He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
6Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο μετʼ αὐτούς.
6Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
7Καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις· ἠγέρθη δὲ Φαραὼ, καὶ ἦν ἐνύπνιον.
7And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
8Ἐγένετο δὲ πρωῒ, καὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστείλας ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς ἐξηγητὰς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς σοφοὺς αὐτῆς· καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς Φαραὼ τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων αὐτὸ τῷ Φαραώ.
8And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
9Καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος πρὸς Φαραὼ, λέγων, τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου ἀναμιμνήσκω σήμερον.
9Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
10Φαραὼ ὠργίσθη τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ἐν φυλακῇ, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου, ἐμέ τε καὶ τὸν ἀρχισιτοποιόν.
10The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
11Καὶ εἴδομεν ἐνύπνιον ἀμφότεροι ἐν νυκτὶ μιᾷ ἐγὼ καὶ αὐτὸς, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν.
11Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
12Ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ μεθʼ ἡμῶν νεανίσκος παῖς Ἑβραῖος τοῦ ἀρχιμαγείρου, καὶ διηγησάμεθα αὐτῷ, καὶ συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν.
12There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
13Ἐγενήθη δὲ, καθὼς συνέκρινεν ἡμῖν οὕτω καὶ συνέβη, ἐμέ τε ἀποκατασταθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχήν μου, ἐκεῖνον δὲ κρεμασθῆναι.
13And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
14Ἀποστείλας δὲ Φαραὼ ἐκάλεσε τὸν Ἰωσήφ· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος, καὶ ἐξύρησαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἤλλαξαν τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς Φαραώ.
14Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
15Εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ, ἐνύπνιον ἑώρακα, καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό· ἐγὼ δὲ ἀκήκοα περὶ σοῦ λεγόντων, ἀκούσαντά σε ἐνύπνια, συγκρῖναι αὐτά.
15And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
16Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Φαραὼ εἶπεν, ἄνευ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἀποκριθήσεται τὸ σωτήριον Φαραώ.
16Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
17Ἐλάλησε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, λέγων, ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ᾤμην ἑστάναι παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ ποταμοῦ.
17So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
18Καὶ ὥσπερ ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἀνέβαινον ἑπτὰ βόες καλαὶ τῷ εἴδει καὶ ἐκλεκταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶ, καὶ ἐνέμοντο ἐν τῷ Ἄχει.
18And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
19Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ βόες ἕτεραι ἀνέβαινον ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, πονηραὶ καὶ αἰσχραὶ τῷ εἴδει, καὶ λεπταὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν, οἵας οὐκ εἶδον τοιαύτας ἐν ὅλῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου αἰσχροτέρας.
19And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
20Καὶ κατέφαγον αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ αἰσχραὶ καὶ λεπταὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ βόας τὰς πρώτας τὰς καλὰς καὶ τὰς ἐκλεκτάς.
20And they devoured and consumed the former,
21Καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν· καὶ οὑ διάδηλοι ἐγένοντο, ὅτι εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰς κοιλίας αὐτῶν· καὶ αἱ ὄψεις αὐτῶν αἰσχραὶ, καθὰ καὶ τὴν ἀρχήν· ἐξεγερθεὶς δὲ ἐκοιμήθην.
21And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
22Καὶ εἶδον πάλιν ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου, καὶ ὥσπερ ἑπτὰ στάχυες ἀνέβαινον ἐν πυθμένι ἑνὶ πλήρεις καὶ καλοί·
22And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
23Ἄλλοι δὲ ἑπτὰ στάχυες λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι ἀνεφύοντο ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν.
23Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
24Καὶ κατέπιον οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι τοὺς ἑπτὰ στάχυας τοὺς καλοὺς καὶ τοὺς πλήρεις· εἶπα οὖν τοῖς ἐξῆγηταῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων μοι αὐτό.
24And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
25Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσὴφ τῷ Φαραὼ, τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραὼ ἕν ἐστιν· ὅσα ὁ Θεὸς ποιεῖ, ἔδειξε τῷ Φαραώ.
25Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
26Αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ καλαὶ, ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστί· καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ καλοὶ, ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστί· τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραὼ ἕν ἐστι.
26The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
27Καὶ αἱ ἑπτὰ βόες αἱ λεπταὶ, αἱ ἀναβαίνουσαι ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστί· καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ στάχυες οἱ λεπτοὶ καὶ ἀνεμόφθοροι, ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἐστί· ἔσονται ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ.
27And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
28Τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα ὃ εἴρηκα Φαραὼ, ὅσα ὁ Θεὸς ποιεῖ, ἔδειξε τῷ Φαραώ.
28Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
29Ἰδοὺ ἑπτὰ ἔτη ἔρχεται εὐθηνία πολλὴ ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου.
29Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
30Ἥξει δὲ ἑπτὰ ἔτη λιμοῦ μετὰ ταῦτα· καὶ ἐπιλήσονται τῆς πλησμονῆς τῆς ἐσομένης ἐν ὅλῃ Αἰγύπτῳ· καὶ ἀναλώσει ὁ λιμὸς τῆν γῆν.
30After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
31Καὶ οὐκ ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἡ εὐθηνία ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ τοῦ ἐσομένου μετὰ ταῦτα· ἰσχυρὸς γὰρ ἔσται σφόδρα.
31And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
32Περὶ δὲ τοῦ δευτερῶσαι τὸ ἐνύπνιον Φαραὼ δὶς, ὅτι ἀληθὲς ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ταχυνεῖ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτό.
32And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
33Νῦν οὖν σκέψαι ἄνθρωπον φρόνιμον καὶ συνετὸν, καὶ κατάστησον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
33Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
34Καὶ ποιησάτω Φαραὼ καὶ καταστησάτω τοπάρχας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἀποπεμπτωσάτωσαν πάντα τὰ γεννήματα τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῆς εὐθηνίας,
34That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
35καὶ συναγαγέτωσαν πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν τῶν ἐρχομένων τῶν καλῶν τούτων· καὶ συναχθήτω ὁ σῖτος ὑπὸ χεῖρα Φαραώ· βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι φυλαχθήτω.
35That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
36Καὶ ἔσται τὰ βρώματα τὰ πεφυλαγμένα τῇ γῇ εἰς τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ, ἃ ἔσονται ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ οὐκ ἐκτριβήσεται ἡ γῆ ἐν τῷ λιμῷ.
36And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
37Ἤρεσε δὲ τὸ ῥῆμα ἐναντίον Φαραὼ, καὶ ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ.
37The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
38Καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, μῆ εὑρήσομεν ἄνθρωπον τοιοῦτον, ὃς ἔχει πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ;
38And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
39Εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, ἐπειδὴ ἔδειξεν ὁ Θεός σοι πάντα ταῦτα, οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος φρονιμώτερος καὶ συνετώτερός σου.
39He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
40Σὺ ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ στόματί σου ὑπακούσεται πᾶς ὁ λαός μου· πλὴν τὸν θρόνον ὑπερέξω σου ἐγώ.
40Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
41Εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, ἰδοὺ καθίστημί σε σήμερον ἐπὶ πάσῃ γῇ Αἰγύπτου.
41And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
42Καὶ περιελόμενος Φαραὼ τὸν δακτύλιον ἀπὸ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, περίεθηκεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν στολὴν βυσσίνην, καὶ περιέθηκε κλοιὸν χρυσοῦν περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ.
42And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
43Καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δεύτερον τῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκήρυξεν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ κήρυξ· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐφʼ ὅλης γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
43And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
44Εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, ἐγὼ Φαραώ· ἄνευ σοῦ οὐκ ἐξαρεῖ οὐθεὶς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάσης γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
44And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Φαραὼ τὸ ὄνομα Ἰωσὴφ, Ψονθομφανήχ· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν Ἀσενὲθ θυγατέρα Πετεφρῆ ἱερέως Ἡλιουπόλεως αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα.
45And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
46Ἰωσὴφ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν τριάκοντα, ὅτε ἔστη ἐναντίον Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου· ἐξῆλθε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπὸ προσώπου Φαραὼ, καὶ διῆλθε πᾶσαν γῆν Αἰγύπτου.
46(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
47Καὶ ἐποίησεν ἡ γῆ ἐν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἔτεσι τῆς εὐθηνίας δράγματα.
47And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
48Καὶ συνήγαγε πάντα τὰ βρώματα τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν, ἐν οἷς ἦν ἡ εὐθηνία ἐν τῇ γῇ Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἔθηκε τὰ βρώματα ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι· βρώματα τῶν πεδίων τῆς πόλεως τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἔθηκεν ἐν αὐτῇ.
48And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
49Καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἰωσὴφ σῖτον ὡσεὶ τὴν ἄμμον τῆς θαλάσσης πολὺν σφόδρα, ἕως οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀριθμηθῆναι, οὐ γὰρ ἦν ἀριθμός.
49And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
50Τῷ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ ἐγένοντο υἱοὶ δύο πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἀσενὲθ ἡ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρῆ ἱερέως Ἡλιουπόλεως.
50And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
51Ἐκάλεσε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πρωτοτόκου, Μανασσῆ· ὅτι ἐπιλαθέσθαι με ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς πάντων τῶν πόνων μου, καὶ πάντων τῶν τοῦ πατρός μου·
51And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
52Τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου ἐκάλεσεν, Ἐφραίμ· ὅτι ηὔξησέ με ὁ Θεὸς ἐν γῇ ταπεινώσεώς μου.
52And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
53Παρῆλθον δὲ τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τῆς εὐθηνίας, ἃ ἐγένοντο ἐν τῇ γῇ Αἰγύπτου.
53Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
54Καὶ ἤρξατο τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ ἔρχεσθαι, καθὰ εἶπεν Ἰωσήφ· καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· ἐν δὲ πάσῃ τῇ γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἦσαν ἄρτοι.
54The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
55Καὶ ἐπείνασε πᾶσα ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου· ἔκραξε δὲ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Φαραὼ περὶ ἄρτων· εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις, πορεύεσθε πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε.
55And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
56Καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἦν ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς· ἀνέῳξε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πάντας τοὺς σιτοβολῶνας, καὶ ἐπώλει πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις.
56And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
57Καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ χῶραι ἦλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ἀγοράζειν πρὸς Ἰωσήφ· ἐπεκράτησε γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ·
57And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
