1At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
1過了兩年，法老做夢，夢見自己站在河邊，
2Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
2有七隻母牛從河裏上來，又美好又肥壯，在蘆荻中吃 草 。
3Behold, 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.
3隨後又有七隻母牛從河裏上來，又醜陋又乾瘦，與那七隻母牛一同站在河邊。
4The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
4這又醜陋又乾瘦的七隻母牛吃盡了那又美好又肥壯的七隻母牛。法老就醒了。
5He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
5他又睡着，第二回做夢，夢見一棵麥子長了七個穗子，又肥大又佳美，
6Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
6隨後又長了七個穗子，又細弱又被東風吹焦了。
7The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
7這細弱的穗子吞了那七個又肥大又飽滿的穗子。法老醒了，不料是個夢。
8In 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.
8到了早晨，法老心裏不安，就差人召了 埃及 所有的術士和博士來；法老就把所做的夢告訴他們，卻沒有人能給法老圓解。
9Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
9那時酒政對法老說：「我今日想起我的罪來。
10Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
10從前法老惱怒臣僕，把我和膳長下在護衛長府內的監裏。
11We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.
11我們二人同夜各做一夢，各夢都有講解。
12There 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. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
12在那裏同着我們有一個 希伯來 的少年人，是護衛長的僕人，我們告訴他，他就把我們的夢圓解，是按着各人的夢圓解的。
13As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
13後來正如他給我們圓解的成就了：我官復原職，膳長被掛起來了。」
14Then 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.
14法老遂即差人去召 約瑟 ，他們便急忙帶他出監，他就剃頭，刮臉，換衣裳，進到法老面前。
15Pharaoh 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.”
15法老對 約瑟 說：「我做了一夢，沒有人能解；我聽見人說，你聽了夢就能解。」
16Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
16約瑟 回答法老說：「這不在乎我，上帝必將平安的話回答法老。」
17Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
17法老對 約瑟 說：「我夢見我站在河邊，
18and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
18有七隻母牛從河裏上來，又肥壯又美好，在蘆荻中吃草。
19and 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.
19隨後又有七隻母牛上來，又軟弱又醜陋又乾瘦，在 埃及 遍地，我沒有見過這樣不好的。
20The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
20這又乾瘦又醜陋的母牛吃盡了那以先的七隻肥母牛，
21and 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.
21吃了以後卻看不出是吃了，那醜陋的樣子仍舊和先前一樣。我就醒了。
22I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
22我又夢見一棵麥子，長了七個穗子，又飽滿又佳美，
23and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
23隨後又長了七個穗子，枯槁細弱，被東風吹焦了。
24The 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.”
24這些細弱的穗子吞了那七個佳美的穗子。我將這夢告訴了術士，卻沒有人能給我解說。」
25Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
25約瑟 對法老說：「法老的夢乃是一個。上帝已將所要做的事指示法老了。
26The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
26七隻好母牛是七年，七個好穗子也是七年；這夢乃是一個。
27The 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.
27那隨後上來的七隻又乾瘦又醜陋的母牛是七年，那七個虛空、被東風吹焦的穗子也是七年，都是七個荒年。
28That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
28這就是我對法老所說，上帝已將所要做的事顯明給法老了。
29Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
29埃及 遍地必來七個大豐年，
30Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
30隨後又要來七個荒年，甚至在 埃及 地都忘了先前的豐收，全地必被饑荒所滅。
31and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
31因那以後的饑荒甚大，便不覺得先前的豐收了。
32The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
32至於法老兩回做夢，是因上帝命定這事，而且必速速成就。
33“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
33所以，法老當揀選一個有聰明有智慧的人，派他治理 埃及 地。
34Let 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.
34法老當這樣行，又派官員管理這地。當七個豐年的時候，征收 埃及 地的五分之一，
35Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
35叫他們把將來豐年一切的糧食聚斂起來，積蓄五穀，收存在各城裏做食物，歸於法老的手下。
36The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
36所積蓄的糧食可以防備 埃及 地將來的七個荒年，免得這地被饑荒所滅。」
37The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
37法老和他一切臣僕都以這事為妙。
38Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
38法老對臣僕說：「像這樣的人，有上帝的靈在他裏頭，我們豈能找得着呢？」
39Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
39法老對 約瑟 說：「上帝既將這事都指示你，可見沒有人像你這樣有聰明有智慧。
40You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
40你可以掌管我的家；我的民都必聽從你的話。惟獨在寶座上我比你大。」
41Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
41法老又對 約瑟 說：「我派你治理 埃及 全地。」
42Pharaoh 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.
42法老就摘下手上打印的戒指，戴在 約瑟 的手上，給他穿上細麻衣，把金鍊戴在他的頸項上，
43He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
43又叫 約瑟 坐他的副車，喝道的在前呼叫說：「跪下。」這樣，法老派他治理 埃及 全地。
44Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
44法老對 約瑟 說：「我是法老，在 埃及 全地，若沒有你的命令，不許人擅自辦事。」
45Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
45法老賜名給 約瑟 ，叫 撒發那忒‧巴內亞 ，又將 安 城的祭司 波提非拉 的女兒 亞西納 給他為妻。 約瑟 就出去巡行 埃及 地。
46Joseph 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.
46約瑟 見 埃及 王法老的時候年三十歲。他從法老面前出去，遍行 埃及 全地。
47In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
47七個豐年之內，地的出產極豐極盛，
48He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
48約瑟 聚斂 埃及 地七個豐年一切的糧食，把糧食積存在各城裏；各城周圍田地的糧食都積存在本城裏。
49Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
49約瑟 積蓄五穀甚多，如同海邊的沙，無法計算，因為穀不可勝數。
50To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
50荒年未到以前， 安 城的祭司 波提非拉 的女兒 亞西納 給 約瑟 生了兩個兒子。
51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
51約瑟 給長子起名叫 瑪拿西 ，因為 他說 ：「上帝使我忘了一切的困苦和我父的全家。」
52The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
52他給次子起名叫 以法蓮 ，因為 他說 ：「上帝使我在受苦的地方昌盛。」
53The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
53埃及 地的七個豐年一完，
54The 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.
54七個荒年就來了。正如 約瑟 所說的，各地都有饑荒；惟獨 埃及 全地有糧食。
55When 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.”
55及至 埃及 全地有了饑荒，眾民向法老哀求糧食，法老對他們說：「你們往 約瑟 那裏去，凡他所說的，你們都要做。」
56The 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.
56當時饑荒遍滿天下， 約瑟 開了各處的倉，糶糧給 埃及 人；在 埃及 地饑荒甚大。
57All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
57各地的人都往 埃及 去，到 約瑟 那裏糴糧，因為天下的饑荒甚大。
