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

¹It happened 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.

²Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh 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.

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.

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

⁴The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

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

⁵He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

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

⁶Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted 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.

⁷The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. 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.

⁸It happened in the morning that 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.

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

⁹Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.

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

¹⁰Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

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

¹¹We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man 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.

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. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.

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

¹³It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

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. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, 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.

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.”

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

¹⁶Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t 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.

¹⁷Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink 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 cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh 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 cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

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

²⁰The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

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 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.

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

²²I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain 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 heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted 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.

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.”

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

²⁵Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

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

²⁶The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain 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.

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.

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

²⁸That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

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

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

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

³⁰There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume 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 in the land by reason of that famine which follows; 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.

³²The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

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

³³“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, 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, 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.

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.

³⁵Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

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

³⁶The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine.”

³⁷A vec sa ľúbila faraonovi i všetkým jeho služobníkom.

³⁷The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

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

³⁸Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

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

³⁹Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

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.

⁴⁰You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

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

⁴¹Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you 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.

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,

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

⁴³and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” 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.

⁴⁴Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you 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.

⁴⁵Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. 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.

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.

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

⁴⁷In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.

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.

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: the food of the field, which was around every city, he laid up in the same.

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

⁴⁹Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, 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.

⁵⁰To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of 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.

⁵¹Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “Manasseh” sounds like the Hebrew for “forget.” “For,” he said, “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.

⁵²The name of the second, he called Ephraim “Ephraim” sounds like the Hebrew for “twice fruitful.” : “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

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

⁵³The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

⁵⁷All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
