WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And it came to pass after two full years that Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood upon [the bank of] the river.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que pasados dos años tuvo Faraón un sueño: Parecíale que estaba junto al río;
1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
2 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.
2 Y que del río subían siete vacas, hermosas á la vista, y muy gordas, y pacían en el prado:
2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
3 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.
3 Y que otras siete vacas subían tras ellas del río, de fea vista, y enjutas de carne, y se pararon cerca de las vacas hermosas á la orilla del río:
3 Behold, 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.
4 And the seven ill-favoured and lean cows devoured the seven well-favoured and choice-fleshed cows; and Pharao awoke.
4 Y que las vacas de fea vista y enjutas de carne devoraban á las siete vacas hermosas y muy gordas. Y despertó Faraón.
4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he dreamed again. And, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, choice and good.
5 Durmióse de nuevo, y soñó la segunda vez: Que siete espigas llenas y hermosas subían de una sola caña:
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 And, behold, seven ears thin and blasted with the wind, grew up after them.
6 Y que otras siete espigas menudas y abatidas del Solano, salían después de ellas:
6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
7 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.
7 Y las siete espigas menudas devoraban á las siete espigas gruesas y llenas. Y despertó Faraón, y he aquí que era sueño.
7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
8 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.
8 Y acaeció que á la mañana estaba agitado su espíritu; y envió é hizo llamar á todos los magos de Egipto, y á todos sus sabios: y contóles Faraón sus sueños, mas no había quien á Faraón los declarase.
8 In 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.
9 And the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharao, saying, I this day remember my fault:
9 Entonces el principal de los coperos habló á Faraón, diciendo: Acuérdome hoy de mis faltas:
9 Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
10 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.
10 Faraón se enojó contra sus siervos, y á mí me echó á la prisión de la casa del capitán de los de la guardia, á mí y al principal de los panaderos:
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
11 And we had a dream both in one night, I and he; we saw, each according to his dream.
11 Y yo y él vimos un sueño una misma noche: cada uno soñó conforme á la declaración de su sueño.
11 We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 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.
12 Y estaba allí con nosotros un mozo Hebreo, sirviente del capitán de los de la guardia; y se lo contamos, y él nos declaró nuestros sueños, y declaró á cada uno conforme á su sueño.
12 There 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.
13 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.
13 Y aconteció que como él nos declaró, así fué: á mí me hizo volver á mi puesto, é hizo colgar al otro.
13 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
14 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.
14 Entonces Faraón envió y llamó á José; é hiciéronle salir corriendo de la cárcel, y le cortaron el pelo, y mudaron sus vestidos, y vino á Faraón.
14 Then 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.
15 And Pharao said to Joseph, I have seen a vision, and there is no one to interpret it; but I have heard say concerning thee that thou didst hear dreams and interpret them.
15 Y dijo Faraón á José: Yo he tenido un sueño, y no hay quien lo declare; mas he oído decir de ti, que oyes sueños para declararlos.
15 Pharaoh 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.”
16 And Joseph answered Pharao and said, Without God an answer of safety shall not be given to Pharao.
16 Y respondió José á Faraón, diciendo: No está en mí; Dios será el que responda paz á Faraón.
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream methought I stood by the bank of the river;
17 Entonces Faraón dijo á José: En mi sueño parecíame que estaba á la orilla del río:
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
18 and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favoured and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
18 Y que del río subían siete vacas de gruesas carnes y hermosa apariencia, que pacían en el prado:
18 and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
19 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.
19 Y que otras siete vacas subían después de ellas, flacas y de muy fea traza; tan extenuadas, que no he visto otras semejantes en toda la tierra de Egipto en fealdad:
19 and 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.
20 And the seven ill-favoured and thin cows ate up the seven first good and choice cows.
20 Y las vacas flacas y feas devoraban á las siete primeras vacas gruesas:
20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
21 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,
21 Y entraban en sus entrañas, mas no se conocía que hubiesen entrado en ellas, porque su parecer era aún malo, como de primero. Y yo desperté.
21 and 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.
22 and saw again in my sleep, and as it were seven ears came up on one stem, full and good.
22 Vi también soñando, que siete espigas subían en una misma caña llenas y hermosas;
22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
23 And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.
23 Y que otras siete espigas menudas, marchitas, abatidas del Solano, subían después de ellas:
23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
24 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.
24 Y las espigas menudas devoraban á las siete espigas hermosas: y helo dicho á los magos, mas no hay quien me lo declare.
24 The 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.”
25 And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shewn to Pharao.
25 Entonces respondió José á Faraón: El sueño de Faraón es uno mismo: Dios ha mostrado á Faraón lo que va á hacer.
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.
26 Las siete vacas hermosas siete años son; y las espigas hermosas son siete años: el sueño es uno mismo.
26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
27 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.
27 También las siete vacas flacas y feas que subían tras ellas, son siete años; y las siete espigas menudas y marchitas del Solano, siete años serán de hambre.
27 The 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.
28 And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatsoever God intends to do, he has shewn to Pharao:
28 Esto es lo que respondo á Faraón. Lo que Dios va á hacer, halo mostrado á Faraón.
28 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.
29 He aquí vienen siete años de grande hartura en toda la tierra de Egipto:
29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
30 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.
30 Y levantarse han tras ellos siete años de hambre; y toda la hartura será olvidada en la tierra de Egipto; y el hambre consumirá la tierra;
30 Seven 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,
31 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.
31 Y aquella abundancia no se echará de ver á causa del hambre siguiente, la cual será gravísima.
31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
32 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.
32 Y el suceder el sueño á Faraón dos veces, significa que la cosa es firme de parte de Dios, y que Dios se apresura á hacerla.
32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
33 Por tanto, provéase ahora Faraón de un varón prudente y sabio, y póngalo sobre la tierra de Egipto.
33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 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.
34 Haga [esto] Faraón, y ponga gobernadores sobre el país, y quinte la tierra de Egipto en los siete años de la hartura;
34 Let 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.
35 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.
35 Y junten toda la provisión de estos buenos años que vienen, y alleguen el trigo bajo la mano de Faraón para mantenimiento de las ciudades; y guárdenlo.
35 Let 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.
36 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.
36 Y esté aquella provisión en depósito para el país, para los siete años del hambre que serán en la tierra de Egipto; y el país no perecerá de hambre.
36 The 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.”
37 And the word was pleasing in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of all his servants.
37 Y el negocio pareció bien á Faraón, y á sus siervos.
37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharao said to all his servants, Shall we find such a man as this, who has the Spirit of God in him?
38 Y dijo Faraón á sus siervos: ¿Hemos de hallar otro hombre como éste, en quien haya espíritu de Dios?
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 And Pharao said to Joseph, Since God has shewed thee all these things, there is not a wiser or more prudent man than thou.
39 Y dijo Faraón á José: Pues que Dios te ha hecho saber todo esto, no hay entendido ni sabio como tú:
39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and all my people shall be obedient to thy word; only in the throne will I excel thee.
40 Tú serás sobre mi casa, y por tu dicho se gobernará todo mi pueblo: solamente en el trono seré yo mayor que tú.
40 You 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.”
41 And Pharao said to Joseph, Behold, I set thee this day over all the land of Egypt.
41 Dijo más Faraón á José: He aquí yo te he puesto sobre toda la tierra de Egipto.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 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.
42 Entonces Faraón quitó su anillo de su mano, y púsolo en la mano de José, é hízole vestir de ropas de lino finísimo, y puso un collar de oro en su cuello;
42 Pharaoh 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.
43 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.
43 E hízolo subir en su segundo carro, y pregonaron delante de él: Doblad la rodilla: y púsole sobre toda la tierra de Egipto.
43 He 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.
44 And Pharao said to Joseph, I am Pharao; without thee no one shall lift up his hand on all the land of Egypt.
44 Y dijo Faraón á José: Yo Faraón; y sin ti ninguno alzará su mano ni su pie en toda la tierra de Egipto.
44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 And Pharao called the name of Joseph, Psonthomphanech; and he gave him Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, to wife.
45 Y llamó Faraón el nombre de José, Zaphnath-paaneah; y dióle por mujer á Asenath, hija de Potipherah, sacerdote de On. Y salió José por toda la tierra de Egipto.
45 Pharaoh 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.
46 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.
46 Y era José de edad de treinta años cuando fué presentado delante de Faraón, rey de Egipto: y salió José de delante de Faraón, y transitó por toda la tierra de Egipto.
46 Joseph 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.
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, [whole] handfuls [of corn].
47 E hizo la tierra en aquellos siete años de hartura á montones.
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
48 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.
48 Y él juntó todo el mantenimiento de los siete años que fueron en la tierra de Egipto, y guardó mantenimiento en las ciudades, poniendo en cada ciudad el mantenimiento del campo de sus alrededores.
48 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. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
49 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].
49 Y acopió José trigo como arena de la mar, mucho en extremo, hasta no poderse contar, porque no tenía número.
49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
50 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.
50 Y nacieron á José dos hijos antes que viniese el [primer] año del hambre, los cuales le parió Asenath, hija de Potipherah, sacerdote de On.
50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 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.
51 Y llamó José el nombre del primogénito Manasés; porque Dios ([dijo]) me hizo olvidar todo mi trabajo, y toda la casa de mi padre.
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation.
52 Y el nombre del segundo llamólo Ephraim; porque Dios ([dijo]) me hizo fértil en la tierra de mi aflicción.
52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt.
53 Y cumpliéronse los siete años de la hartura, que hubo en la tierra de Egipto.
53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
54 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.
54 Y comenzaron á venir los siete años del hambre, como José había dicho: y hubo hambre en todos los países, mas en toda la tierra de Egipto había pan.
54 The 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.
55 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.
55 Y cuando se sintió el hambre en toda la tierra de Egipto, el pueblo clamó á Faraón por pan. Y dijo Faraón á todos los Egipcios: Id á José, y haced lo que él os dijere.
55 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.”
56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians.
56 Y el hambre estaba por toda la extensión del país. Entonces abrió José todo granero donde había, y vendía á los Egipcios; porque había crecido el hambre en la tierra de Egipto.
56 The 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.
57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.
57 Y toda la tierra venía á Egipto para comprar de José, porque por toda la tierra había crecido el hambre.
57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 41:38 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)

    He also came down upon all righteous men and Prophets; Enos, I mean, and Enoch, and Noah, and the rest; upon Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for as regards Joseph, even Pharaoh perceived that he had the Spirit of God within him.
