1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
Εγένετο-δὲ-μετὰ-δύο-έτη-ημερῶν-Φαραω-εῖδεν-ενύπνιον-.-ώετο-εστάναι-επὶ-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-,-
2 Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
καὶ-ιδοὺ-ώσπερ-εκ-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-ανέβαινον-επτὰ-βόες-καλαὶ-τῶ-είδει-καὶ-εκλεκταὶ-ταῖς-σαρξὶν-καὶ-εβόσκοντο-εν-τῶ-άχει-·-
3 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
άλλαι-δὲ-επτὰ-βόες-ανέβαινον-μετὰ-ταύτας-εκ-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-αισχραὶ-τῶ-είδει-καὶ-λεπταὶ-ταῖς-σαρξὶν-καὶ-ενέμοντο-παρὰ-τὰς-βόας-παρὰ-τὸ-χεῖλος-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-·-
4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
καὶ-κατέφαγον-αι-επτὰ-βόες-αι-αισχραὶ-καὶ-λεπταὶ-ταῖς-σαρξὶν-τὰς-επτὰ-βόας-τὰς-καλὰς-τῶ-είδει-καὶ-τὰς-εκλεκτάς-.-ηγέρθη-δὲ-Φαραω-.--
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
καὶ-ενυπνιάσθη-τὸ-δεύτερον-,-καὶ-ιδοὺ-επτὰ-στάχυες-ανέβαινον-εν-πυθμένι-ενὶ-εκλεκτοὶ-καὶ-καλοί-·-
6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
άλλοι-δὲ-επτὰ-στάχυες-λεπτοὶ-καὶ-ανεμόφθοροι-ανεφύοντο-μετ᾿-αυτούς-·-
7 And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.
καὶ-κατέπιον-οι-επτὰ-στάχυες-οι-λεπτοὶ-καὶ-ανεμόφθοροι-τοὺς-επτὰ-στάχυας-τοὺς-εκλεκτοὺς-καὶ-τοὺς-πλήρεις-.-ηγέρθη-δὲ-Φαραω-,-καὶ-ῆν-ενύπνιον-.-
8 Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
Εγένετο-δὲ-πρωὶ-καὶ-εταράχθη-η-ψυχὴ-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-αποστείλας-εκάλεσεν-πάντας-τοὺς-εξηγητὰς-Αιγύπτου-καὶ-πάντας-τοὺς-σοφοὺς-αυτῆς-,-καὶ-διηγήσατο-αυτοῖς-Φαραω-τὸ-ενύπνιον-,-καὶ-ουκ-ῆν-ο-απαγγέλλων-αυτὸ-τῶ-Φαραω-.-
9 Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day.
καὶ-ελάλησεν-ο-αρχιοινοχόος-πρὸς-Φαραω-λέγων-Τὴν-αμαρτίαν-μου-αναμιμνήσκω-σήμερον-·-
10 When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,
Φαραω-ωργίσθη-τοῖς-παισὶν-αυτοῦ-καὶ-έθετο-ημᾶς-εν-φυλακῆ-εν-τῶ-οίκω-τοῦ-αρχιμαγείρου-,-εμέ-τε-καὶ-τὸν-αρχισιτοποιόν-.-
11 we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
καὶ-είδομεν-ενύπνιον-εν-νυκτὶ-μιᾶ-,-εγώ-τε-καὶ-αυτός-,-έκαστος-κατὰ-τὸ-αυτοῦ-ενύπνιον-είδομεν-.-
12 Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
ῆν-δὲ-εκεῖ-μεθ᾿-ημῶν-νεανίσκος-παῖς-Εβραῖος-τοῦ-αρχιμαγείρου-,-καὶ-διηγησάμεθα-αυτῶ-,-καὶ-συνέκρινεν-ημῖν-.-
13 And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
εγενήθη-δὲ-καθὼς-συνέκρινεν-ημῖν-,-ούτως-καὶ-συνέβη-,-εμέ-τε-αποκατασταθῆναι-επὶ-τὴν-αρχήν-μου-,-εκεῖνον-δὲ-κρεμασθῆναι-.-
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
Αποστείλας-δὲ-Φαραω-εκάλεσεν-τὸν-Ιωσηφ-,-καὶ-εξήγαγον-αυτὸν-εκ-τοῦ-οχυρώματος-καὶ-εξύρησαν-αυτὸν-καὶ-ήλλαξαν-τὴν-στολὴν-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-ῆλθεν-πρὸς-Φαραω-.-
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-Φαραω-τῶ-Ιωσηφ-Ενύπνιον-εώρακα-,-καὶ-ο-συγκρίνων-ουκ-έστιν-αυτό-·-εγὼ-δὲ-ακήκοα-περὶ-σοῦ-λεγόντων-ακούσαντά-σε-ενύπνια-συγκρῖναι-αυτά-.-
16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
αποκριθεὶς-δὲ-Ιωσηφ-τῶ-Φαραω-εῖπεν-Άνευ-τοῦ-θεοῦ-ουκ-αποκριθήσεται-τὸ-σωτήριον-Φαραω-.-
17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river.
ελάλησεν-δὲ-Φαραω-τῶ-Ιωσηφ-λέγων-Εν-τῶ-ύπνω-μου-ώμην-εστάναι-παρὰ-τὸ-χεῖλος-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-,-
18 Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
καὶ-ώσπερ-εκ-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-ανέβαινον-επτὰ-βόες-καλαὶ-τῶ-είδει-καὶ-εκλεκταὶ-ταῖς-σαρξὶν-καὶ-ενέμοντο-εν-τῶ-άχει-·-
19 Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.
καὶ-ιδοὺ-επτὰ-βόες-έτεραι-ανέβαινον-οπίσω-αυτῶν-εκ-τοῦ-ποταμοῦ-πονηραὶ-καὶ-αισχραὶ-τῶ-είδει-καὶ-λεπταὶ-ταῖς-σαρξίν-,-οίας-ουκ-εῖδον-τοιαύτας-εν-όλη-γῆ-Αιγύπτω-αισχροτέρας-·-
20 And the gaunt and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows.
καὶ-κατέφαγον-αι-επτὰ-βόες-αι-αισχραὶ-καὶ-λεπταὶ-τὰς-επτὰ-βόας-τὰς-πρώτας-τὰς-καλὰς-καὶ-εκλεκτάς-,-
21 When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke.
καὶ-εισῆλθον-εις-τὰς-κοιλίας-αυτῶν-καὶ-ου-διάδηλοι-εγένοντο-ότι-εισῆλθον-εις-τὰς-κοιλίας-αυτῶν-,-καὶ-αι-όψεις-αυτῶν-αισχραὶ-καθὰ-καὶ-τὴν-αρχήν-.-εξεγερθεὶς-δὲ-εκοιμήθην-
22 Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good.
καὶ-εῖδον-πάλιν-εν-τῶ-ύπνω-μου-,-καὶ-ώσπερ-επτὰ-στάχυες-ανέβαινον-εν-πυθμένι-ενὶ-πλήρεις-καὶ-καλοί-·-
23 Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
άλλοι-δὲ-επτὰ-στάχυες-λεπτοὶ-καὶ-ανεμόφθοροι-ανεφύοντο-εχόμενοι-αυτῶν-·-
24 And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
καὶ-κατέπιον-οι-επτὰ-στάχυες-οι-λεπτοὶ-καὶ-ανεμόφθοροι-τοὺς-επτὰ-στάχυας-τοὺς-καλοὺς-καὶ-τοὺς-πλήρεις-.-εῖπα-οῦν-τοῖς-εξηγηταῖς-,-καὶ-ουκ-ῆν-ο-απαγγέλλων-μοι-.-
25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
Καὶ-εῖπεν-Ιωσηφ-τῶ-Φαραω-Τὸ-ενύπνιον-Φαραω-έν-εστιν-·-όσα-ο-θεὸς-ποιεῖ-,-έδειξεν-τῶ-Φαραω-.-
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years; the dreams are one.
αι-επτὰ-βόες-αι-καλαὶ-επτὰ-έτη-εστίν-,-καὶ-οι-επτὰ-στάχυες-οι-καλοὶ-επτὰ-έτη-εστίν-·-τὸ-ενύπνιον-Φαραω-έν-εστιν-.-
27 And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.
καὶ-αι-επτὰ-βόες-αι-λεπταὶ-αι-αναβαίνουσαι-οπίσω-αυτῶν-επτὰ-έτη-εστίν-,-καὶ-οι-επτὰ-στάχυες-οι-λεπτοὶ-καὶ-ανεμόφθοροι-έσονται-επτὰ-έτη-λιμοῦ-.-
28 This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
τὸ-δὲ-ρῆμα-,-ὸ-είρηκα-Φαραω-Όσα-ο-θεὸς-ποιεῖ-,-έδειξεν-τῶ-Φαραω-,-
29 Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;
ιδοὺ-επτὰ-έτη-έρχεται-ευθηνία-πολλὴ-εν-πάση-γῆ-Αιγύπτω-·-
30 but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.
ήξει-δὲ-επτὰ-έτη-λιμοῦ-μετὰ-ταῦτα-,-καὶ-επιλήσονται-τῆς-πλησμονῆς-εν-όλη-γῆ-Αιγύπτω-,-καὶ-αναλώσει-ο-λιμὸς-τὴν-γῆν-,-
31 So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.
καὶ-ουκ-επιγνωσθήσεται-η-ευθηνία-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-απὸ-τοῦ-λιμοῦ-τοῦ-εσομένου-μετὰ-ταῦτα-·-ισχυρὸς-γὰρ-έσται-σφόδρα-.-
32 And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
περὶ-δὲ-τοῦ-δευτερῶσαι-τὸ-ενύπνιον-Φαραω-δίς-,-ότι-αληθὲς-έσται-τὸ-ρῆμα-τὸ-παρὰ-τοῦ-θεοῦ-,-καὶ-ταχυνεῖ-ο-θεὸς-τοῦ-ποιῆσαι-αυτό-.-
33 “Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
νῦν-οῦν-σκέψαι-άνθρωπον-φρόνιμον-καὶ-συνετὸν-καὶ-κατάστησον-αυτὸν-επὶ-γῆς-Αιγύπτου-·-
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
καὶ-ποιησάτω-Φαραω-καὶ-καταστησάτω-τοπάρχας-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-,-καὶ-αποπεμπτωσάτωσαν-πάντα-τὰ-γενήματα-τῆς-γῆς-Αιγύπτου-τῶν-επτὰ-ετῶν-τῆς-ευθηνίας-
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
καὶ-συναγαγέτωσαν-πάντα-τὰ-βρώματα-τῶν-επτὰ-ετῶν-τῶν-ερχομένων-τῶν-καλῶν-τούτων-,-καὶ-συναχθήτω-ο-σῖτος-υπὸ-χεῖρα-Φαραω-,-βρώματα-εν-ταῖς-πόλεσιν-φυλαχθήτω-·-
36 Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”
καὶ-έσται-τὰ-βρώματα-πεφυλαγμένα-τῆ-γῆ-εις-τὰ-επτὰ-έτη-τοῦ-λιμοῦ-,-ὰ-έσονται-εν-γῆ-Αιγύπτω-,-καὶ-ουκ-εκτριβήσεται-η-γῆ-εν-τῶ-λιμῶ-.-
37 So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
Ήρεσεν-δὲ-τὰ-ρήματα-εναντίον-Φαραω-καὶ-εναντίον-πάντων-τῶν-παίδων-αυτοῦ-,-
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
καὶ-εῖπεν-Φαραω-πᾶσιν-τοῖς-παισὶν-αυτοῦ-Μὴ-ευρήσομεν-άνθρωπον-τοιοῦτον-,-ὸς-έχει-πνεῦμα-θεοῦ-εν-αυτῶ-;-
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
εῖπεν-δὲ-Φαραω-τῶ-Ιωσηφ-Επειδὴ-έδειξεν-ο-θεός-σοι-πάντα-ταῦτα-,-ουκ-έστιν-άνθρωπος-φρονιμώτερος-καὶ-συνετώτερός-σου-·-
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
σὺ-έση-επὶ-τῶ-οίκω-μου-,-καὶ-επὶ-τῶ-στόματί-σου-υπακούσεται-πᾶς-ο-λαός-μου-·-πλὴν-τὸν-θρόνον-υπερέξω-σου-εγώ-.-
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-Φαραω-τῶ-Ιωσηφ-Ιδοὺ-καθίστημί-σε-σήμερον-επὶ-πάσης-γῆς-Αιγύπτου-.-
42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
καὶ-περιελόμενος-Φαραω-τὸν-δακτύλιον-απὸ-τῆς-χειρὸς-αυτοῦ-περιέθηκεν-αυτὸν-επὶ-τὴν-χεῖρα-Ιωσηφ-καὶ-ενέδυσεν-αυτὸν-στολὴν-βυσσίνην-καὶ-περιέθηκεν-κλοιὸν-χρυσοῦν-περὶ-τὸν-τράχηλον-αυτοῦ-·-
43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him over all the land of Egypt.
καὶ-ανεβίβασεν-αυτὸν-επὶ-τὸ-άρμα-τὸ-δεύτερον-τῶν-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-εκήρυξεν-έμπροσθεν-αυτοῦ-κῆρυξ-·-καὶ-κατέστησεν-αυτὸν-εφ᾿-όλης-γῆς-Αιγύπτου-.-
44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
εῖπεν-δὲ-Φαραω-τῶ-Ιωσηφ-Εγὼ-Φαραω-·-άνευ-σοῦ-ουκ-εξαρεῖ-ουθεὶς-τὴν-χεῖρα-αυτοῦ-επὶ-πάση-γῆ-Αιγύπτου-.-
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
καὶ-εκάλεσεν-Φαραω-τὸ-όνομα-Ιωσηφ-Ψονθομφανηχ-·-καὶ-έδωκεν-αυτῶ-τὴν-Ασεννεθ-θυγατέρα-Πετεφρη-ιερέως-Ηλίου-πόλεως-αυτῶ-γυναῖκα-.-
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ιωσηφ-δὲ-ῆν-ετῶν-τριάκοντα-,-ότε-έστη-εναντίον-Φαραω-βασιλέως-Αιγύπτου-.-Εξῆλθεν-δὲ-Ιωσηφ-εκ-προσώπου-Φαραω-καὶ-διῆλθεν-πᾶσαν-γῆν-Αιγύπτου-.-
47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly.
καὶ-εποίησεν-η-γῆ-εν-τοῖς-επτὰ-έτεσιν-τῆς-ευθηνίας-δράγματα-·-
48 So 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 laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.
καὶ-συνήγαγεν-πάντα-τὰ-βρώματα-τῶν-επτὰ-ετῶν-,-εν-οῖς-ῆν-η-ευθηνία-εν-γῆ-Αιγύπτου-,-καὶ-έθηκεν-τὰ-βρώματα-εν-ταῖς-πόλεσιν-,-βρώματα-τῶν-πεδίων-τῆς-πόλεως-τῶν-κύκλω-αυτῆς-έθηκεν-εν-αυτῆ-.-
49 Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
καὶ-συνήγαγεν-Ιωσηφ-σῖτον-ωσεὶ-τὴν-άμμον-τῆς-θαλάσσης-πολὺν-σφόδρα-,-έως-ουκ-ηδύναντο-αριθμῆσαι-,-ου-γὰρ-ῆν-αριθμός-.-
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
Τῶ-δὲ-Ιωσηφ-εγένοντο-υιοὶ-δύο-πρὸ-τοῦ-ελθεῖν-τὰ-επτὰ-έτη-τοῦ-λιμοῦ-,-οὺς-έτεκεν-αυτῶ-Ασεννεθ-θυγάτηρ-Πετεφρη-ιερέως-Ηλίου-πόλεως-.-
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.”
εκάλεσεν-δὲ-Ιωσηφ-τὸ-όνομα-τοῦ-πρωτοτόκου-Μανασση-,-ότι-Επιλαθέσθαι-με-εποίησεν-ο-θεὸς-πάντων-τῶν-πόνων-μου-καὶ-πάντων-τῶν-τοῦ-πατρός-μου-.-
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
τὸ-δὲ-όνομα-τοῦ-δευτέρου-εκάλεσεν-Εφραιμ-,-ότι-Ηύξησέν-με-ο-θεὸς-εν-γῆ-ταπεινώσεώς-μου-.-
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,
Παρῆλθον-δὲ-τὰ-επτὰ-έτη-τῆς-ευθηνίας-,-ὰ-εγένοντο-εν-γῆ-Αιγύπτω-,-
54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
καὶ-ήρξαντο-τὰ-επτὰ-έτη-τοῦ-λιμοῦ-έρχεσθαι-,-καθὰ-εῖπεν-Ιωσηφ-.-καὶ-εγένετο-λιμὸς-εν-πάση-τῆ-γῆ-,-εν-δὲ-πάση-γῆ-Αιγύπτου-ῆσαν-άρτοι-.-
55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.”
καὶ-επείνασεν-πᾶσα-η-γῆ-Αιγύπτου-,-εκέκραξεν-δὲ-ο-λαὸς-πρὸς-Φαραω-περὶ-άρτων-·-εῖπεν-δὲ-Φαραω-πᾶσι-τοῖς-Αιγυπτίοις-Πορεύεσθε-πρὸς-Ιωσηφ-,-καὶ-ὸ-εὰν-είπη-υμῖν-,-ποιήσατε-.-
56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
καὶ-ο-λιμὸς-ῆν-επὶ-προσώπου-πάσης-τῆς-γῆς-·-ανέωξεν-δὲ-Ιωσηφ-πάντας-τοὺς-σιτοβολῶνας-καὶ-επώλει-πᾶσι-τοῖς-Αιγυπτίοις-.-
57 So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
καὶ-πᾶσαι-αι-χῶραι-ῆλθον-εις-Αίγυπτον-αγοράζειν-πρὸς-Ιωσηφ-·-επεκράτησεν-γὰρ-ο-λιμὸς-εν-πάση-τῆ-γῆ-.-
