창세기 41

1만 이년 후에 바로가 꿈을 꾼즉 자기가 하숫가에 섰는데 2보니 아름답고 살찐 일곱 암소가 하수에서 올라와 갈밭에서 뜯어먹고 3그 뒤에 또 흉악하고 파리한 다른 일곱 암소가 하수에서 올라와 그 소와 함께 하숫가에 섰더니 4그 흉악하고 파리한 소가 그 아름답고 살찐 일곱 소를 먹은지라 바로가 곧 깨었다가 5다시 잠이 들어 꿈을 꾸니 한 줄기에 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭이 나오고 6그 후에 또 세약하고 동풍에 마른 일곱 이삭이 나오더니 7그 세약한 일곱 이삭이 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭을 삼킨지라 바로가 깬즉 꿈이라 8아침에 그 마음이 번민하여 보내어 애굽의 술객과 박사를 모두 불러 그들에게 그 꿈을 고하였으나 그것을 바로에게 해석하는 자가 없었더라 9술 맡은 관원장이 바로에게 고하여 가로되 내가 오늘날 나의 허물을 추억하나이다 10바로께서 종들에게 노하사 나와 떡 굽는 관원장을 시위대장의 집에 가두셨을 때에 11나와 그가 하룻밤에 꿈을 꾼즉 각기 징조가 있는 꿈이라 12그곳에 시위대장의 종된 히브리 소년이 우리와 함께 있기로 우리가 그에게 고하매 그가 우리의 꿈을 풀되 그 꿈대로 각인에게 해석하더니 13그 해석한 대로 되어 나는 복직하고 그는 매여 달렸나이다 14이에 바로가 보내어 요셉을 부르매 그들이 급히 그를 옥에서 낸지라 요셉이 곧 수염을 깎고 그 옷을 갈아 입고 바로에게 들어오니 15바로가 요셉에게 이르되 내가 한 꿈을 꾸었으나 그것을 해석하는 자가 없더니 들은즉 너는 꿈을 들으면 능히 푼다더라 16요셉이 바로에게 대답하여 가로되 이는 내게 있는 것이 아니라 하나님이 바로에게 평안한 대답을 하시리이다 17바로가 요셉에게 이르되 내가 꿈에 하숫가에 서서 18보니 살지고 아름다운 일곱 암소가 하숫가에 올라와 갈밭에서 뜯어 먹고 19그 뒤에 또 약하고 심히 흉악하고 파리한 일곱 암소가 올라오니 그같이 흉악한 것들은 애굽 땅에서 내가 아직 보지 못한 것이라 20그 파리하고 흉악한 소가 처음의 일곱 살찐 소를 먹었으며 21먹었으나 먹은듯하지 아니하여 여전히 흉악하더라 내가 곧 깨었다가 22다시 꿈에 보니 한 줄기에 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭이 나오고 23그 후에 또 세약하고 동풍에 마른 일곱 이삭이 나더니 24그 세약한 이삭이 좋은 일곱 이삭을 삼키더라 내가 그 꿈을 술객에게 말하였으나 그것을 내게 보이는 자가 없느니라 25요셉이 바로에게 고하되 바로의 꿈은 하나이라 하나님이 그 하실 일을 바로에게 보이심이니이다 26일곱 좋은 암소는 일곱 해요 일곱 좋은 이삭도 일곱 해니 그 꿈은 하나이라 27그 후에 올라온 파리하고 흉악한 일곱 소는 칠년이요 동풍에 말라 속이 빈 일곱 이삭도 일곱 해 흉년이니 28내가 바로에게 고하기를 하나님이 그 하실 일로 바로에게 보이신다 함이 이것이라 29온 애굽 땅에 일곱 해 큰 풍년이 있겠고 30후에 일곱 해 흉년이 들므로 애굽 땅에 있던 풍년을 다 잊어버리게 되고 이 땅이 기근으로 멸망되리니 31후에 든 그 흉년이 너무 심하므로 이전 풍년을 이 땅에서 기억하지 못하게 되리이다 32바로께서 꿈을 두 번 겹쳐 꾸신 것은 하나님이 이 일을 정하셨음이라 속히 행하시리니 33이제 바로께서는 명철하고 지혜있는 사람을 택하여 애굽 땅을 치리하게 하시고 34바로께서는 또 이같이 행하사 국중에 여러 관리를 두어 그 일곱 해 풍년에 애굽 땅의 오분의 일을 거두되 35그 관리로 장차 올 풍년의 모든 곡물을 거두고 그 곡물을 바로의 손에 돌려 양식을 위하여 각 성에 적치하게 하소서 36이와 같이 그 곡물을 이 땅에 저장하여 애굽 땅에 임할 일곱 해 흉년을 예비하시면 땅이 이 흉년을 인하여 멸망치 아니하리이다 37바로와 그 모든 신하가 이 일을 좋게 여긴지라 38바로가 그 신하들에게 이르되 이와 같이 하나님의 신에 감동한 사람을 우리가 어찌 얻을 수 있으리요 하고 39요셉에게 이르되 하나님이 이 모든 것을 네게 보이셨으니 너와 같이 명철하고 지혜있는 자가 없도다 40너는 내 집을 치리하라 내 백성이 다 네 명을 복종하리니 나는 너보다 높음이 보좌뿐이니라 41바로가 또 요셉에게 이르되 내가 너로 애굽 온 땅을 총리하게 하노라 하고 42자기의 인장 반지를 빼어 요셉의 손에 끼우고 그에게 세마포 옷을 입히고 금사슬을 목에 걸고 43자기에게 있는 버금 수레에 그를 태우매 무리가 그 앞에서 소리 지르기를 엎드리라 하더라 바로가 그로 애굽 전국을 총리하게 하였더라 44바로가 요셉에게 이르되 나는 바로라 애굽 온 땅에서 네 허락 없이는 수족을 놀릴 자가 없으리라 하고 45그가 요셉의 이름을 사브낫바네아라 하고 또 온 제사장 보디베라의 딸 아스낫을 그에게 주어 아내를 삼게 하니라 요셉이 나가 애굽 온 땅을 순찰하니라 46요셉이 애굽왕 바로 앞에 설 때에 삼십 세라 그가 바로 앞을 떠나 애굽 온 땅을 순찰하니 47일곱 해 풍년에 토지 소출이 심히 많은지라 48요셉이 애굽 땅에 있는 그 칠년 곡물을 거두어 각성에 저축하되 각성 주위의 밭의 곡물을 그 성중에 저장하매 49저장한 곡식이 바다 모래 같이 심히 많아 세기를 그쳤으니 그 수가 한이 없음이었더라 50흉년이 들기 전에 요셉에게 두 아들을 낳되 곧 온 제사장 보디베라의 딸 아스낫이 그에게 낳은지라 51요셉이 그 장자의 이름을 므낫세라 하였으니 하나님이 나로 나의 모든 고난과 나의 아비의 온 집 일을 잊어버리게 하셨다 함이요 52차자의 이름을 에브라임이라 하였으니 하나님이 나로 나의 수고 한 땅에서 창성하게 하셨다 함이었더라 53애굽 땅에 일곱 해 풍년이 그치고 54요셉의 말과 같이 일곱 해 흉년이 들기 시작하매 각국에는 기근이 있으나 애굽 온 땅에는 식물이 있더니 55애굽 온 땅이 주리매 백성이 바로에게 부르짖어 양식을 구하는지라 바로가 애굽 모든 백성에게 이르되 요셉에게 가서 그가 너희에게 이르는 대로 하라 하니라 56온 지면에 기근이 있으매 요셉이 모든 창고를 열고 애굽 백성에게 팔새 애굽 땅에 기근이 심하며 57각국 백성도 양식을 사려고 애굽으로 들어와 요셉에게 이르렀으니 기근이 온 세상에 심함이었더라

1At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river. 2Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass. 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. 4The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke. 5He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good. 6Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 7The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 8In 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. 9Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today. 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. 11We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 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. 13As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” 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. 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.” 16Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” 17Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river: 18and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass, 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. 20The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle, 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. 22I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good: 23and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. 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.” 25Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. 26The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one. 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. 28That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. 29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. 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, 31and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. 32The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 33“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. 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. 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. 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.” 37The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” 39Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you. 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.” 41Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 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, 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. 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.” 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. 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. 47In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly. 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. 49Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number. 50To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him. 51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.” 52The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.” 53The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end. 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. 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.” 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. 57All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

1En het geschiedde ten einde van twee volle jaren, dat Farao droomde, en ziet, hij stond aan de rivier. 2En ziet, uit de rivier kwamen op zeven koeien, schoon van aanzien, en vet van vlees, en zij weidden in het gras. 3En ziet, zeven andere koeien kwamen na die op uit de rivier, lelijk van aanzien, en dun van vlees; en zij stonden bij de andere koeien aan den oever der rivier. 4En die koeien, lelijk van aanzien, en dun van vlees, aten op die zeven koeien, schoon van aanzien en vet. Toen ontwaakte Farao. 5Daarna sliep hij en droomde andermaal; en ziet, zeven aren rezen op, in een halm, vet en goed. 6En ziet, zeven dunne en van den oostenwind verzengde aren schoten na dezelve uit. 7En de dunne aren verslonden de zeven vette en volle aren. Toen ontwaakte Farao, en ziet, het was een droom. 8En het geschiedde in den morgenstond, dat zijn geest verslagen was, en hij zond heen, en riep al de tovenaars van Egypte, en al de wijzen, die daarin waren; en Farao vertelde hun zijn droom; maar er was niemand, die ze aan Farao uitlegde. 9Toen sprak de overste der schenkers tot Farao, zeggende: Ik gedenk heden aan mijn zonden. 10Farao was zeer vertoornd op zijn dienaars, en leverde mij in bewaring ten huize van den overste der trawanten, mij en den overste der bakkers. 11En in een nacht droomden wij een droom, ik en hij; wij droomden elk naar de uitlegging zijns drooms. 12En aldaar was bij ons een Hebreeuws jongeling, een knecht van den overste der trawanten; en wij vertelden ze hem, en hij legde ons onze dromen uit; een ieder legde hij ze uit, naar zijn droom. 13En gelijk hij ons uitlegde, alzo is het geschied; mij heeft hij hersteld in mijn staat, en hem gehangen. 14Toen zond Farao en riep Jozef en zij deden hem haastelijk uit den kuil komen; en men schoor hem, en men veranderde zijn klederen; en hij kwam tot Farao. 15En Farao sprak tot Jozef: Ik heb een droom gedroomd, en er is niemand, die hem uitlegge; maar ik heb van u horen zeggen, als gij een droom hoort, dat gij hem uitlegt. 16En Jozef antwoordde Farao, zeggende: Het is buiten mij! God zal Farao's welstand aanzeggen. 17Toen sprak Farao tot Jozef: Zie, in mijn droom stond ik aan den oever der rivier; 18En zie, uit de rivier kwamen op zeven koeien, vet van vlees en schoon van gedaante, en zij weidden in het gras. 19En zie, zeven andere koeien kwamen op na deze, mager en zeer lelijk van gedaante, rank van vlees; ik heb dergelijke van lelijkheid niet gezien in het ganse Egypteland. 20En die ranke en lelijke koeien aten die eerste zeven vette koeien op; 21Dewelke in haar buik inkwamen; maar men merkte niet, dat ze in haar buik ingekomen waren; want haar aanzien was lelijk, gelijk als in het begin. Toen ontwaakte ik. 22Daarna zag ik in mijn droom, en zie zeven aren rezen op in een halm, vol en goed. 23En zie, zeven dorre, dunne en van den oostenwind verzengde aren, schoten na dezelve uit; 24En de zeven dunne aren verslonden die zeven goede aren. En ik heb het den tovenaars gezegd; maar er was niemand, die het mij verklaarde. 25Toen zeide Jozef tot Farao: De droom van Farao is een; hetgeen God is doende, heeft Hij Farao te kennen gegeven. 26Die zeven schone koeien zijn zeven jaren; die zeven schone aren zijn ook zeven jaren; de droom is een. 27En die zeven ranke en lelijke koeien, die na gene opkwamen, zijn zeven jaren; en die zeven ranke van den oostenwind verzengde aren zullen zeven jaren des hongers wezen. 28Dit is het woord, hetwelk ik tot Farao gesproken heb: hetgeen God is doende, heeft Hij Farao vertoond. 29Zie, de zeven aankomende jaren, zal er grote overvloed in het ganse land van Egypte zijn. 30Maar na dezelve zullen er opstaan zeven jaren des hongers; dan zal in het land van Egypte al die overvloed vergeten worden; en de honger zal het land verteren. 31Ook zal de overvloed in het land niet gemerkt worden, vanwege dienzelven honger, die daarna wezen zal; want hij zal zeer zwaar zijn. 32En aangaande, dat die droom aan Farao ten tweeden maal is herhaald, is, omdat de zaak van God vastbesloten is, en dat God haast, om dezelve te doen. 33Zo zie nu Farao naar een verstandigen en wijzen man, en zette hem over het land van Egypte. 34Farao doe zo, en bestelle opzieners over het land; en neme het vijfde deel des lands van Egypte in de zeven jaren des overvloeds. 35En dat zij alle spijze van deze aankomende goede jaren verzamelen, en koren opleggen, onder de hand van Farao, tot spijze in de steden, en bewaren het. 36Zo zal de spijze zijn tot voorraad voor het land, voor zeven jaren des hongers, die in Egypteland wezen zullen; opdat het land van honger niet verga. 37En dit woord was goed in de ogen van Farao, en in de ogen van al zijn knechten. 38Zo zeide Farao tot zijn knechten: Zouden wij wel een man vinden als deze, in welken Gods Geest is? 39Daarna zeide Farao tot Jozef: Naardien dat God u dit alles heeft verkondigd, zo is er niemand zo verstandig en wijs, als gij. 40Gij zult over mijn huis zijn, en op uw bevel zal al mijn volk de hand kussen; alleen dezen troon zal ik groter zijn dan gij. 41Voorts sprak Farao tot Jozef: Zie, ik heb u over gans Egypteland gesteld. 42En Farao nam zijn ring van zijn hand af, en deed hem aan Jozefs hand, en liet hem fijne linnen klederen aantrekken, en legde hem een gouden keten aan zijn hals; 43En hij deed hem rijden op den tweeden wagen, dien hij had; en zij riepen voor zijn aangezicht: Knielt! Alzo stelde hij hem over gans Egypteland. 44En Farao zeide tot Jozef: Ik ben Farao! doch zonder u zal niemand zijn hand of zijn voet opheffen in gans Egypteland. 45En Farao noemde Jozefs naam Zafnath Paaneah, en gaf hem Asnath, de dochter van Potifera, overste van On, tot een vrouw; en Jozef toog uit door het land van Egypte. 46Jozef nu was dertig jaren oud, als hij stond voor het aangezicht van Farao, koning van Egypte; en Jozef ging uit van Farao's aangezicht, en hij toog door gans Egypteland. 47En het land bracht voort, in de zeven jaren des overvloeds, bij handvollen. 48En hij vergaderde alle spijze der zeven jaren, die in Egypteland was, en deed de spijze in de steden; de spijze van het veld van elke stad, hetwelk rondom haar was, deed hij daarbinnen. 49Alzo bracht Jozef zeer veel koren bijeen, als het zand der zee, totdat men ophield te tellen: want daarvan was geen getal. 50En Jozef werden twee zonen geboren, eer er een jaar des hongers aankwam, die Asnath, de dochter van Potifera, overste van On, hem baarde. 51En Jozef noemde den naam des eerstgeborenen Manasse; want, zeide hij, God heeft mij doen vergeten al mijn moeite, en het ganse huis mijns vaders. 52En den naam des tweeden noemde hij Efraim; want, zeide hij, God heeft mij doen wassen in het land mijner verdrukking. 53Toen eindigden de zeven jaren des overvloeds, die in Egypte geweest was. 54En de zeven jaren des hongers begonnen aan te komen, gelijk als Jozef gezegd had. En er was honger in al de landen; maar in gans Egypteland was brood. 55Als nu gans Egypteland hongerde, riep het volk tot Farao om brood; en Farao zeide tot alle Egyptenaren: Gaat tot Jozef, doet wat hij u zegt. 56Als dan honger over het ganse land was, zo opende Jozef alles, waarin iets was, en verkocht aan de Egyptenaren; want de honger was sterk in Egypteland. 57En alle landen kwamen in Egypte tot Jozef, om te kopen; want de honger was sterk in alle landen.
