¹A stalo sa po celých dvoch rokoch, že sa snívaly faraonovi sny. Snívalo sa mu, že hľa, stojí nad riekou.

¹And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.

²A tu hľa, z rieky vychádzalo sedem kráv, pekných na pohľad i tučných, a pásly sa na mokrine.

²And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fine-looking and fat-fleshed, and they fed in the reed-grass.

³A zase hľa, za nimi vychádzalo z rieky iných sedem kráv, šeredných na pohľad a chudých, a postavily sa na strane tamtých kráv na brehu rieky.

³And behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, bad-looking and lean-fleshed, and stood by the kine on the bank of the river.

⁴A tie na pohľad šeredné kravy chudé zožraly tých sedem kráv, pekných na pohľad a tučných. A v tom sa zobudil faraon.

⁴And the kine that were bad-looking and lean-fleshed ate up the seven kine that were fine-looking and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.

⁵A keď usnul, snívalo sa mu po druhé, že hľa, sedem klasov vychádza z jedného stebla, tučných a krásnych.

⁵And he slept and dreamed the second time; and behold, seven ears of corn grew up on one stalk, fat and good.

⁶A zase hľa, za nimi vyrastalo sedem klasov, tenkých a vysušených východným vetrom.

⁶And behold, seven ears, thin and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷A tie tenké klasy pohltily tých sedem klasov tučných a plných. A zase sa prebudil faraon. A hľa, bol to sen.

⁷And the thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke; and behold, it was a dream.

⁸A stalo sa ráno, že bol veľmi znepokojený jeho duch. A poslal poslov a povolal všetkých učencov Egypta i všetkých jeho mudrcov. A faraon im rozprával svoje sny. Ale nebolo toho, kto by ich vyložil faraonovi.

⁸And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the scribes of Egypt, and all the sages who were therein, and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none to interpret them to Pharaoh.

⁹Vtedy hovoril náčelník čašníkov s faraonom a riekol: Rozpomínam sa dnes na svoje previnenia.

⁹Then spoke the chief of the cup-bearers to Pharaoh, saying, I remember mine offences this day.

¹⁰Faraon sa bol rozhneval na svojich služobníkov a bol ma dal pod stráž do domu náčelníka kráľovej stráže, mňa i náčelníka pekárov.

¹⁰Pharaoh was wroth with his bondmen, and put me in custody into the captain of the life-guard's house, me and the chief of the bakers.

¹¹A sníval sa nám sen jednej a tej istej noci, mne i jemu, obidvom sa nám snívalo podľa vlastného výkladu jeho i môjho sna.

¹¹And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹²A bol tam s nami nejaký hebrejský mládenec, služobník náčelníka kráľovskej stráže, a keď sme mu porozprávali, čo sa nám snívalo, vyložil nám naše sny, obidvom vyložil podľa toho, jaký bol ktorého sen.

¹²And there was there with us a Hebrew youth, a bondman of the captain of the life-guard, to whom we told [them], and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each he interpreted according to his dream.

¹³A stalo sa, že jako nám vyložil, tak i bolo: mňa navrátil faraon do môjho úradu a jeho obesil.

¹³And it came to pass, just as he interpreted to us, so it came about: me has he restored to my office, and him he hanged.

¹⁴Vtedy poslal faraon a zavolal Jozefa, a vyviedol ho behom z jamy. A keď sa oholil a zmenil svoje rúcho, prišiel k faraonovi.

¹⁴Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph; and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved [himself], and changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.

¹⁵A faraon povedal Jozefovi: Sníval sa mi sen, a neni toho, kto by ho vyložil. Ale ja som počul o tebe, že keď len počuješ sen, hneď ho vieš vyložiť.

¹⁵And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamt a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And I have heard say of thee, thou understandest a dream to interpret it.

¹⁶A Jozef odpovedal faraonovi a riekol: Nie je to moja vec; Bôh odpovie faraonovi to, čo mu bude na pokoj.

¹⁶And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

¹⁷A tedy hovoril faraon Jozefovi: Videl som vo svojom sne, že hľa stojím na brehu rieky.

¹⁷And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.

¹⁸A hľa, z rieky vychádzalo sedem kráv, tučných a pekných čo do postavy, a pásly sa na mokrine.

¹⁸And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.

¹⁹A hľa, za nimi vychádzalo sedem iných kráv, biednych a veľmi šeredných čo do postavy, a chudobných. Nevidel som takých šeredných kráv nikde v zemi Egyptskej.

¹⁹And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed -- such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

²⁰A tie chudé kravy šeredné zožraly tých prvých sedem kráv tučných.

²⁰And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;

²¹A vošly do ich brucha, ale nebolo znať, že by boly vošly do ich brucha, a boly na pohľad šeredné ako predtým. A prebudil som sa.

²¹and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

²²A zase som videl vo svojom sne, že hľa, sedem klasov vyrastalo na jednom steble plných a krásnych.

²²And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.

²³A hľa, za nimi vyrastalo sedem scvrklých klasov tvrdých, tenkých a vysušených východným vetrom.

²³And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;

²⁴A tie tenké klasy pohltily tých sedem krásnych klasov. A povedal som to učencom, ale neni toho, kto by mi oznámil, čo to znamená.

²⁴and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.

²⁵A Jozef riekol faraonovi: Sen faraonov znamená jedno a to isté. Bôh oznámil faraonovi to, čo bude činiť.

²⁵And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.

²⁶Sedem krásnych kráv je sedem rokov, a sedem krásnych klasov je tiež sedem rokov; je to jeden sen.

²⁶The seven fine kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

²⁷A sedem chudých kráv šeredných, vychádzajúcich za nimi, je sedem rokov, a sedem klasov prázdnych, vysušených východným vetrom, bude sedem rokov hladu.

²⁷And the seven lean and bad kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears, parched with the east wind, will be seven years of famine.

²⁸To je to, čo som hovoril faraonovi. Bôh to, čo bude činiť, ukázal faraonovi.

²⁸This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has let Pharaoh see.

²⁹Hľa, prijde sedem rokov veľkej hojnosti v celej Egyptskej zemi.

²⁹Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout the land of Egypt.

³⁰A po nich nastane sedem rokov hladu, a zabudne sa všetka tá hojnosť v Egyptskej zemi, a hlad zahubí zem.

³⁰And there will arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will waste away the land.

³¹Ani sa nebude znať tá hojnosť v zemi pre hlad, ktorý nastane potom, lebo bude veľmi veľký a ťažký.

³¹And the plenty will not be known afterwards in the land by reason of that famine; for it will be very grievous.

³²A že sa sen dvakrát opakoval faraonovi, to znamená, že vec je istá od Boha, a že to Bôh učiní skoro.

³²And as regards the double repetition of the dream to Pharaoh, it is that the thing is established by God, and God will hasten to do it.

³³A tak teraz nech si vyhľadá faraon rozumného a múdreho muža a nech ho ustanoví nad Egyptom.

³³And now let Pharaoh look himself out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³⁴Nech to učiní faraon! A nech ustanoví úradníkov nad zemou a bude brať piaty diel úrody z Egyptskej zeme po sedem rokov hojnosti.

³⁴Let Pharaoh do [this]: let him appoint overseers over the land, and take the fifth part of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty,

³⁵A nech nashromaždia všelijakej potravy za tých sedem dobrých rokov, ktoré prijdú teraz, a nahromadia obilia pod ruku faraonovu, potravy po mestách, a strážiac zachovajú to.

³⁵and let them gather all the food of these coming good years, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, for food in the cities, and keep [it].

³⁶A tie potraviny budú odložené zemi na sedem rokov hladu, ktoré budú v Egyptskej zemi, a nebude zem vyplienená hladom.

³⁶And let the food be as store for the land for the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine.

³⁷A vec sa ľúbila faraonovi i všetkým jeho služobníkom.

³⁷And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his bondmen.

³⁸V tedy povedal faraon svojim služobníkom: Či najdeme iného takého muža, v ktorom by bol Duch Boží?

³⁸And Pharaoh said to his bondmen, Shall we find [one] as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

³⁹A faraon povedal Jozefovi: Pretože dal Bôh tebe znať všetko toto, nieto iného tak rozumného a múdreho človeka, jako si ty.

³⁹And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has made all this known to thee, there is none [so] discreet and wise as thou.

⁴⁰Ty budeš nad mojím domom, a podľa toho, čo rieknu tvoje ústa, bude sa spravovať všetok môj ľud; len o kráľovský prestol budem väčší od teba.

⁴⁰Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy commandment shall all my people regulate themselves; only concerning the throne will I be greater than thou.

⁴¹A ďalej povedal faraon Jozefovi: Hľaď, ustanovil som ťa nad celou zemou Egyptskou.

⁴¹And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

⁴²A faraon sňal svoj pečatný prsteň so svojej ruky a dal ho na ruku Jozefovu, obliekol ho do kmentového rúcha a na jeho hrdlo dal zlatú reťaz.

⁴²And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in clothes of byssus, and put a gold chain on his neck.

⁴³A dal ho voziť na svojom druhom voze, a volali pred ním: Klaňajte sa! A tak ho ustanovil nad celou zemou Egyptskou.

⁴³And he caused him to ride in the second chariot that he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee! and he set him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴A faraon povedal Jozefovi: Ja som faraon. Bez tvojho dovolenia nikto nepozdvihne ani svojej ruky ani svojej nohy v celej zemi Egyptskej.

⁴⁴And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵A faraon nazval meno Jozefovo: Safenat-paneach, a dal mu Azenatu, dcéru Putifera, kňaza-kniežaťa z Óna, za ženu. A Jozef vyšiel na Egyptskú zem.

⁴⁵And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶A Jozefovi bolo tridsať rokov, keď sa postavil pred faraona, kráľa Egypta. A Jozef vyšiel zpred tvári faraonovej a pochodil po celej zemi Egyptskej.

⁴⁶And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.

⁴⁷A zem pracovala za sedem rokov hojnosti dávajúc plodiny plnými rukami.

⁴⁷And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.

⁴⁸A shromažďoval všelijaké potraviny siedmich úrodných rokov, ktoré boly v Egyptskej zemi, a složil potraviny v mestách. Potraviny podľa každého jednotlivého mesta, ktoré bolo vôkol neho, uložil v jeho strede.

⁴⁸And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.

⁴⁹A tak nahromadil Jozef obilia ako morského piesku, veľmi mnoho, takže prestal i počítať, lebo mu nebolo počtu.

⁴⁹And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.

⁵⁰A Jozefovi sa narodili dvaja synovia, prv ako prišiel rok hladu, ktorých mu porodila Azenata, dcéra Putiferova, kňaza-kniežaťa z Óna.

⁵⁰And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.

⁵¹A Jozef nazval meno prvorodeného Manasses; lebo vraj Bôh mi dal zabudnúť na všetko moje trápenie i na celý dom môjho otca.

⁵¹And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh -- For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

⁵²Meno druhého nazval Efraim; lebo vraj Bôh mi dal, aby som sa rozplodil v zemi môjho trápenia.

⁵²And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

⁵³A skončilo sa sedem rokov hojnosti, ktorá bola v Egyptskej zemi.

⁵³And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;

⁵⁴Potom začalo prichádzať sedem rokov hladu, jako predpovedal Jozef. A bol hlad vo všetkých tých zemiach, ale v celej zemi Egyptskej bol chlieb.

⁵⁴and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁵No, potom hladovala i celá zem Egyptská, a ľud kričal na faraona o chlieb. A faraon povedal všetkým Egypťanom: Iďte k Jozefovi, a to, čo vám povie, budete robiť.

⁵⁵And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.

⁵⁶A hlad bol na celej tvári zeme. Vtedy otvoril Jozef všetko, čo bolo u nich, a predával Egypťanom obilie, a hlad sa vše viacej rozmáhal v Egyptskej zemi.

⁵⁶And the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁷A všetky krajiny prichádzaly do Egypta kupovať obilie, k Jozefovi, lebo sa bol rozmohol hlad po celej zemi. 42. KAPITOLA

⁵⁷And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.
