1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by 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 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
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 Other 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:
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 they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So 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 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
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 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
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 devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
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 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.
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 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
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 The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
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 Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
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 There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
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 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.
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 Forthwith 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.
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 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.
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 Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
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 So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon 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 seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
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, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in 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 they devoured and consumed the former,
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 yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
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 dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
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 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
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 they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
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 Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
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 beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
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 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:
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 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
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, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole 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 After 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,
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 greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
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 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.
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 therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler 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 That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
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 That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved 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 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.
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 The counsel pleased Pharao and 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 he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
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 He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
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 at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above 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 again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole 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 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.
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 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.
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 the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in 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 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:
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 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries 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 fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
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 all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
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 there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
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 before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto 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 he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and 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 named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
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 Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
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 The 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.
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 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.
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 increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
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 provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
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).
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.
