1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
2 He saw seven cows coming up from the river. They looked well-fed and healthy as they grazed among the reeds. 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 Then he saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked ugly and skinny as they stood beside the other cows on the bank of the Nile. 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 Then the ugly, skinny cows ate the well-fed, healthy cows. Then Pharaoh woke up. 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 Pharaoh fell asleep again and had a second dream. Seven heads of grain were growing on one stalk, ripe and healthy. 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 heads of grain grew up after them, thin and dried by the east wind. 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 The seven thin and dried heads of grain swallowed up the ripe and healthy ones. Then Pharaoh woke up and realized he'd been dreaming. 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 The next morning Pharaoh was worried by his dreams, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men in Egypt. Pharaoh told them about his dreams, but no one could interpret their meaning for him. 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 But then the chief cupbearer spoke up. “Today I've just remembered a bad mistake I've made,” he explained. 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 “Your Majesty was angry with some of your officials and you imprisoned me in the house of the commander of the guard, along with 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 We each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning. 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 A young Hebrew was there with us, a slave of the commander of the guard. When we told him our dreams, he interpreted for us the meaning of our different 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 Everything happened just as he said it would—I was given back my job and the baker 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 Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they quickly brought him from the prison. After he'd shaved and changed his clothes, he was presented to Pharaoh. 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but no one can interpret its meaning. But I've heard that when someone tells you a dream you know how to interpret it.” 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 “It's not me who can do this,” Joseph replied. “But God will explain its meaning to set Your Majesty's mind at rest.” 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 Pharaoh explained to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile. 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 I saw seven cows coming up from the river. They looked well-fed and healthy as they grazed among the reeds. 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 Then I saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked sickly and ugly and skinny—I've never seen such ugly cows in the whole 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 These skinny, ugly cows ate the first seven healthy-looking 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 But afterwards you couldn't tell they'd eaten them because they looked just as skinny and ugly as before. Then I woke up. 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 Then I fell asleep again. In my second dream I saw seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, ripe and healthy. 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 Then seven heads of grain grew up after them, withered and thin and dried by the east wind. 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 The seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the healthy ones. I told all this to the magicians, but none of them could explain its meaning 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 “Pharaoh's dreams mean the same thing,” Joseph responded. “God is telling Pharaoh what he is going 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 good cows and the seven good heads of grain represent seven good years of harvest. The dreams mean the same thing. 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 The seven skinny and ugly cows that came after them and the seven thin heads of grain dried by the east wind represent 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 It's just as I told Your Majesty—God has shown Pharaoh what he is going to do. 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 There are going to be seven years with plenty of food produced throughout the whole country 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 after them will come seven years of famine. People will forget the time when there was plenty of food throughout Egypt. Famine will ruin the country. 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 The time of plenty will be completely forgotten because the famine that follows it will be so terrible. 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 The fact that the dream was repeated twice means that it has definitely been decided by God, and that God is going to do this soon. 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 So Your Majesty should choose a man with insight and wisdom, and put him in charge of the whole country 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 Your Majesty should also appoint officials to be in charge of the land, and have them collect one-fifth of the produce of the country during the seven years of 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 They should collect all the food during the good years that are soon coming, and store the grain under Pharaoh's authority, keeping it under guard to provide food for the towns. 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 This will be a food reserve for the country during the seven years of famine so that the people won't die of starvation.” 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 Pharaoh and all his officials thought Joseph's proposal was a good idea. 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 So Pharaoh asked them, “Where can we find a man like 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 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, telling him, “Since God has revealed to you all this, and there's no one like you with such insight and wisdom, 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 you will be in charge of all my affairs, and all my people will obey your orders. Only I with my status as king will be greater than you.” 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 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Look, I'm putting you in charge of the whole country 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 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothes and placed a golden chain around 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 He had Joseph ride in the chariot designated for his second-in-command while his attendants went ahead, shouting, “Bow down!” This is how Pharaoh gave Joseph authority over all 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 Then Pharaoh told Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission nobody will lift a hand or a foot anywhere in the whole country.” 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 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-paneah, and arranged for him to marry Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. This is how Joseph rose to power over the whole 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 Joseph was thirty when he started working for Pharaoh, king of Egypt. After he had left Pharaoh, Joseph traveled on an inspection tour throughout 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 During the seven years of good harvests, the land produced plenty of food. 47 E hizo la tierra en aquellos siete años de hartura á montones.
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
48 He collected all the food during the seven good years, and he stored the grain produced in the local fields in each town. 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 Joseph piled up so much grain that it was like the sand of the seashore. Eventually he stopped keeping records because there was just so much! 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 It was during this time, before the years of famine came, that Joseph had two sons by Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. 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 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, because he said, “The Lord has made me forget all my troubles and all my father's family.” 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 His second son he named Ephraim, because he said, “God has made me fruitful in the country of my misery.” 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 The seven years of plenty in Egypt came to an end, 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, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other countries but the whole of Egypt had food. 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 When all of Egypt was hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food, and he told everyone, “Go and see Joseph and do whatever he tells 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 The famine had spread all over the country so Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the people of Egypt. The famine was very bad in Egypt, 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 in fact the famine was very bad everywhere, so people from other countries all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph. 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.
