¹Zgodi se pa, ko so pretekli dveh let dnevi, da se je Faraonu sanjalo, in glej, stoji ob Nilu.

¹And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,

²Glej pa, iz reke stopa sedem krav, lepih in debelih, in pasle so se po travi.

²and lo, from the River coming up are seven kine, of fair appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;

³In glej, sedem drugih krav pride za njimi iz reke, grdih in suhih, in postavijo se poleg onih krav na bregu reke.

³and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the kine on the edge of the River,

⁴Tiste grde in suhe krave pa požro onih sedem lepih in debelih krav. Tedaj se prebudi Faraon.

⁴and the kine of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat — and Pharaoh awaketh.

⁵Ali zopet zaspi, in sanja se mu v drugič. In glej, sedem klasov je zraslo na enem steblu, polnih in lepih.

⁵And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,

⁶Glej pa, sedem klasov drobnih, ki jih je vzhodni veter osmodil, požene za njimi.

⁶and lo, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

⁷Drobni klasovi pa pogoltnejo sedem debelih in polnih klasov. In ko se Faraon zbudi, glej, sanje so bile.

⁷and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears — and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream.

⁸In zjutraj, ko je bila zbegana duša njegova, pošlje in pokliče vse egiptovske pismouke in vse modrijane; njim pove Faraon sanje svoje, ali nobenega ni bilo, da bi jih razložil Faraonu.

⁸And it cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.

⁹Tedaj ogovori veliki točaj Faraona in reče: Svojih grehov se spominjam danes.

⁹And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying, `My sin I mention this day:

¹⁰Faraon se je raztogotil zoper hlapce svoje in me je dejal v zapor v hiši načelnika telesne straže, mene in velikega peka.

¹⁰Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;

¹¹Imela sva pa sanje v isti noči jaz in on; primerno razlagi najinih sanj se je sanjalo nama.

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

¹²Bil je pa tam z nama mladenič Hebrejec, hlapec načelnika telesne straže, ki nama je sanje najine razložil, kakor sva mu povedala; vsakemu primerno sanjam njegovim je razložil.

¹²And there [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interpreteth to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream hath he interpreted,

¹³In zgodilo se je tako, kakor je nama razložil: mene je postavil Faraon zopet v službo mojo, onega pa je obesil.

¹³and it cometh to pass, as he hath interpreted to us so it hath been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.`

¹⁴Pošlje torej Faraon in pokliče Jožefa, in hitro so ga pustili iz temnice; in ko se je obril in preoblekel, pride k Faraonu.

¹⁴And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh.

¹⁵Tedaj reče Faraon Jožefu: Imel sem sanje, a ni nikogar, da bi jih razložil. Slišal sem pa o tebi praviti: ko čuješ sanje, jih lahko razložiš.

¹⁵And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I — I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,`

¹⁶Odgovori pa Jožef Faraonu in reče: To ni moja reč: Bog bo odgovoril, kar je v srečo Faraonu.

¹⁶and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me — God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.`

¹⁷Reče torej Faraon Jožefu: V sanjah svojih, glej, sem stal na bregu Nila.

¹⁷And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: `In my dream, lo, I am standing by the edge of the River,

¹⁸In glej, iz reke stopa sedem krav, debelih in lepih, in pasle so se po travi.

¹⁸and lo, out of the River coming up are seven kine, fat [in] flesh, and of fair form, and they feed among the reeds;

¹⁹Nato, glej, pride sedem drugih krav za njimi, suhih in zelo grdih in mršavih; nisem videl po grdosti njim podobnih v vsej deželi Egiptovski.

¹⁹and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.

²⁰In požrle so te krave mršave in grde prejšnjih sedem krav debelih;

²⁰`And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat kine,

²¹in dasi so jim prišle v trebuh, ni bilo tega zaznati, ampak bile so videti grde kakor poprej. In prebudil sem se.

²¹and they come in unto their midst, and it hath not been known that they have come in unto their midst, and their appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake.

²²Še sem videl v sanjah svojih, in glej, sedem klasov je zraslo na enem steblu, polnih in lepih.

²²`And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;

²³Glej pa, sedem klasov drobnih in suhih, ki jih je vzhodni veter osmodil, je pognalo za njimi.

²³and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;

²⁴Tisti drobni klasi pa so pogoltnili sedem lepih klasov. In to sem povedal pismoukom, a nobenega ni bilo, ki bi mi razložil.

²⁴and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.`

²⁵Tedaj reče Jožef Faraonu: Sanje Faraonove so ene: kar hoče storiti Bog, je razodel Faraonu.

²⁵And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh;

²⁶Tistih sedem krav lepih je sedem let, in tistih sedem klasov lepih je sedem let; sanje so ene.

²⁶the seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;

²⁷Sedem krav pa, mršavih in grdih, ki so prišle za onimi, je sedem let, tudi sedem klasov praznih, ki jih je vzhodni veter osmodil, je sedem let lakote.

²⁷and the seven thin and bad kine which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;

²⁸To je beseda, ki sem jo rekel Faraonu: Kar hoče Bog storiti, je pokazal Faraonu.

²⁸this [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh.

²⁹Glej, sedem let pride, ko bo velika obilost po vsej Egiptovski deželi.

²⁹`Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,

³⁰A za njimi pride sedem let lakote, v katerih se pozabi vsa tista obilost po deželi Egiptovski: trla namreč bo lakota to deželo;

³⁰and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine hath finished the land,

³¹in nič se ne bo vedelo v deželi za obilost zavoljo lakote, ki pride potem, zato ker huda bode silno.

³¹and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterwards, for it [is] very grievous.

³²Da so se pa ponovile sanje Faraonu dvakrat, pomeni, da je Bog to stvar trdno sklenil, in Bog jo v kratkem izpolni.

³²`And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.

³³Zdaj torej naj poskrbi Faraon za moža razumnega in modrega in ga naj postavi čez deželo Egiptovsko.

³³`And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;

³⁴To naj stori Faraon in postavi naj oblastnike tej deželi, da pobere petino pridelkov dežele Egiptovske v sedmih letih obilosti.

³⁴let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,

³⁵Oni naj zbero vse žito dobrih let, ki pridejo, in zneso naj žito Faraonu pod roko, v živež po mestih, in ga shranijo.

³⁵and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh — food in the cities; and they have kept [it],

³⁶In ta živež bodi v zalogo deželi za tistih sedem let lakote, ki bode v deželi Egiptovski, da ne pogine dežela od lakote.

³⁶and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.`

³⁷In ta beseda je bila dobra v očeh Faraonovih in v očeh vseh služabnikov njegovih.

³⁷And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,

³⁸In Faraon reče služabnikom svojim: Najdemo li mar temu enakega moža, ki je v njem duh Božji?

³⁸and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God [is]?`

³⁹Nato veli Faraon Jožefu: Ker ti je Bog razodel vse to, nihče ni razumen in moder kakor ti.

³⁹and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God`s causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

⁴⁰Ti bodeš čez hišo mojo in po povelju tvojem se bo ravnalo ljudstvo moje, samo za ta prestol bodem višji od tebe.

⁴⁰thou — thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.`

⁴¹Dalje reče Faraon Jožefu: Glej, stavim te čez vso deželo Egiptovsko.

⁴¹And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.`

⁴²In Faraon sname pečatni prstan z roke svoje ter ga natakne na roko Jožefovo in veli mu obleči oblačila iz tenčice in zlato verižico mu dene okoli vratu.

⁴²And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him [with] garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

⁴³In ukaže, naj ga peljejo na drugem vozu njegovem, in klicali so pred njim: Priklonite se! In postavil ga je čez vso deželo Egiptovsko.

⁴³and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!` and — to put him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁴In reče Faraon Jožefu: Jaz sem Faraon, a brez tebe ne vzdigne nihče roke svoje ali noge svoje po vsej deželi Egiptovski.

⁴⁴And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;`

⁴⁵Imenoval pa je Faraon ime Jožefovo Zafnat-paneah [T. j. rešitelj sveta.], in dal mu je za ženo Asnato, hčer Potiferja, svečenika v Onu. In Jožef je šel vladat deželo Egiptovsko.

⁴⁵and Pharaoh calleth Joseph`s name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶Imel pa je Jožef trideset let, ko je stal pred Faraonom, kraljem egiptovskim. In Jožef je šel izpred obličja Faraonovega in je obhodil vso deželo Egiptovsko.

⁴⁶And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;

⁴⁷Rodila je pa zemlja v sedmih letih obilosti, kolikor so le nabrati mogli.

⁴⁷and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.

⁴⁸Zbral je torej vse žito sedmih dobrih let, ki so bila v deželi Egiptovski, in shranil je živež po mestih; žito s polja okrog vsakega mesta je shranil v njem.

⁴⁸And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] round about [each] city hath he put in its midst;

⁴⁹Tako je nabral Jožef žita silno mnogo, kakor peska morskega, da so nehali šteti, ker ga je bilo brez števila.

⁴⁹and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.

⁵⁰Jožefu pa sta se rodila dva sina, preden je prišlo leto lakote, katera mu je rodila Asnata, hči Potiferja, svečenika onskega.

⁵⁰And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,

⁵¹In imenoval je Jožef prvenca Manaseja, kajti, reče, Bog mi je dal pozabiti vse trpljenje moje in vso hišo mojega očeta.

⁵¹and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;`

⁵²Drugega pa je imenoval Efraima, kajti, reče, rodovitnega me je naredil Bog v deželi ponižanja mojega.

⁵²and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.`

⁵³In ko je preteklo sedem let obilosti, ki je bila v deželi Egiptovski,

⁵³And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,

⁵⁴je nastopilo sedem let lakote, kakor je bil povedal Jožef, in bila je lakota po vseh deželah, v vsej pa deželi Egiptovski je bilo kruha.

⁵⁴and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;

⁵⁵In ko je vsa dežela Egiptovska trpela lakoto, je vpilo ljudstvo k Faraonu zaradi kruha; Faraon pa reče vsem Egipčanom: Pojdite k Jožefu, in kar vam veli, storite!

⁵⁵and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you — do.`

⁵⁶In lakota je bila po vsem površju zemlje. In Jožef je odprl vsa skladišča in prodajal Egipčanom, ker je lakota hudo stiskala deželo Egiptovsko.In iz vseh dežel so hodili v Egipt k Jožefu kupovat, zato ker je lakota hudo stiskala vso zemljo.

⁵⁶And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph openeth all [places] which have [corn] in them, and selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,

⁵⁷In iz vseh dežel so hodili v Egipt k Jožefu kupovat, zato ker je lakota hudo stiskala vso zemljo.

⁵⁷and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
