Genesis 41

Studie

   

1 To År senere hændte det, at Farao havde en drøm. Han drømte, at han stod ved Nilen;

2 og se, op af Floden steg der syv smukke og fede Køer, som gav sig til at græsse i Engen;

3 efter dem steg der syv andre Køer op af Nilen, usle at se til og magre, og de stillede sig ved Siden af de første Køer på Nilens Bred;

4 og de usle og magre Køer åd de syv smukke og fede Køer. Så vågnede Farao.

5 Men han sov ind og havde en Drøm og så syv tykke og gode Aks skyde frem på et og samme Strå;

6 men efter dem volksede der syv golde og vindsvedne Aks frem;

7 og de golde Aks slugte de syv tykke og fulde Aks. Så vågnede Farao, og se, det var en Drøm.

8 Men om Morgenen var hans Sind uroligt; og han sendte Bud efter alle Ægyptens Tegnsudlæggere og Vismænd og fortalte dem sin Drøm, men ingen kunde tyde den for Farao.

9 Da sagde Overmundskænken til Farao: "Jeg må i Dag minde om mine Synder.

10 Den Gang Farao vrededes på sine Tjenere og lod dem sætte i Forvaring i Livvagtens Øverstes Hus, mig og Overbageren,

11 da drømte vi engang samme Nat hver en Drøm med sin særlige Betydning.

12 Sammen med os var der en Hebraisk Yngling, som var Træl hos Livvagtens Øverste, og da vi fortalte ham vore Drømme, tydede han dem for os, hver på sin Måde;

13 og som han tydede dem for os, således gik det: Jeg blev indsat i mit Embede, og Bageren blev hængt."

14 Da sendte Farao Bud efter Josef, og man fik ham hurtigt ud af Fangehullet; og efter at have ladet sig rage og skiftet Klæder fremstillede han sig for Farao.

15 sagde Farao til Josef: "Jeg har haft en Drøm, som ingen kan tyde; og nu har jeg hørt om dig, at du kun behøver at høre en Drøm, så kan du tyde den."

16 Josef svarede Farao: "Ikke jeg men Gud vil give Farao et gunstigt Svar!"

17 Da sagde Farao til Josef: "Jeg drømte, at jeg stod på Nilens Bred;

18 og se, op af Floden steg der syv fede og smukke Køer, som gav sig til at græsse i Engen;

19 efter dem steg der syv andre Køer op, ringe, såre usle og magre, så usle Dyr har jeg ikke set nogensteds i Ægypten;

20 og de magre og usle Køer åd de syv første, fede Køer;

21 men da de havde slugt dem, var det ikke til at kende på dem; de så lige så usle ud som før. Så vågnede jeg.

22 Men jeg sov atter ind og så i Drømme syv fulde og gode Aks skyde frem på et og samme Strå;

23 men efter dem voksede der syv udtørrede, golde og vindsvedne Aks frem,

24 og de golde Aks slugte de syv gode Aks. Det fortalte jeg mine Tegnsudlæggere, men ingen kunde forklare mig det."

25 Da sagde Josef til Farao: "Faraos Drømme betyder begge det samme, og Gud har kundgjort Farao, hvad han vil gøre.

26 De syv gode Køer betyder syv År; de syv gode Aks betyder ligeledes syv År; det er en og samme Drøm.

27 Og de syv magre og usle Køer, der steg op efter dem, betyder syv År, og de syv golde og vindsvedne Aks betyder syv Hungersnødsår.

28 Det var det, jeg mente, når jeg sagde til Farao: Hvad Gud vil gøre, har han ladet Farao skue!

29 Se, der kommer syv År med stor Overflod i hele Ægypten;

30 men efter dem kommer der syv Hungersnødsår, og man skal gemme al Overfloden i Ægypten; og Hungersnøden skal hærge Jorden,

31 så man intet mærker til Overfloden på Jorden på Grund af den påfølgende Hungersnød; thi den bliver såre hård.

32 Men at Drømmen gentog sig to Gange for Farao, betyder, at Sagen er fast besluttet af Gud, og at han snart vil lade det ske.

33 Men nu skulde Farao udse sig en indsigtsfuld og klog Mand og sætte ham over Ægypten,

34 og Farao skulde tage og indsætte Tilsynsmænd over Landet og opkræve Femtedelen af Ægyptens Afgrøde i Overflodens syv År;

35 og de skal samle al Afgrøden fra de gode År, der kommer, og oplagre Høsten som Faraos Eje og bringe Afgrøden under Lås og Lukke i Byerne,

36 for at Afgrøden kan tjene til Forråd for Landet i Hungersnødens syv År, som skal komme over Ægypten, at ikke Landet skal gå til Grunde ved Hungersnøden."

37 Både Farao og alle hans Tjenere syntes godt om den Tale,

38 og Farao sagde til sine Tjenere: "Hvor finder vi en Mand, i hvem Guds Ånd er som i ham?"

39 Og Farao sagde til Josef: "Efter at Gud har åbenbaret dig alt dette. kan ingen måle sig med dig i Indsigt og Kløgt;

40 du skal forestå mit Hus, og efter dit Ord skal alt mit Folk rette sig; kun Tronen vil jeg have forud for dig."

41 Og Farao sagde til Josef: "Så sætter jeg dig nu over hele Ægypten!"

42 Og Farao tog Seglringen af sin Hånd og satte den på Josefs, klædte ham i fine Linnedklæder og hængte Guldkæden om hans Hals:

43 han lod ham køre i sin næstbedste Vogn, og de råbte Abrek for ham. Således satte han ham over hele Ægypten.

44 Og Farao sagde til Josef: "Jeg er Farao, men uden dit Minde skal ingen røre Hånd eller Fod nogensteds i Ægypten!"

45 Derpå gav Farao Josef Navnet Zafenat Panea, og han lod ham ægte Asenat, en Datter af Præsten Potifera i On; og Josef drog omkring i Ægypten.

46 Josef var tredive År gammel. da han stededes for Farao, Ægyptens Konge. Så forlod Josef Farao og drog omkring i hele Ægypten.

47 Og Landet bar i bugnende Fylde i Overflodens syv År;

48 og Josef samlede al Afgrøden i de syv År, i hvilke der var Overflod i Ægypten, og bragte den til Byerne; i hver By samlede han Afgrøden fra Markerne der omkring.

49 Således ophobede Josef Korn i vældig Mængde, som Havets Sand, indtil man opgav at måle det, da det ikke var til at måle.

50 Før Hungersnødens År kom. fik Josef to Sønner med Asenat, Præsten i On Potiferas Datter;

51 og Josef gav den førstefødte Navnet Manasse, thi han sagde: "Gud har ladet mig glemme al min Møje og hele min Faders Hus."

52 Og den anden gav han Navnet Efraim, thi han sagde: "Gud har givet mig Livsfrugt i min Elendigheds Land."

53 Da Overflodens syv År, som kom over Ægypten, var omme,

54 begyndte Hungersnødens syv År, som Josef havde sagt; og der opstod Hungersnød i alle Lande, men i hele Ægypten var der Brød.

55 Så hungrede hele Ægypten; og Folket råbte til Farao om Brød; men Farao sagde til alle Ægypterne: "Gå til Josef og gør, hvad han siger eder!"

56 Og der var Hungersnød over hele Jorden. Da åbnede Josef for alle Kornlagrene og solgte Korn til Ægypterne; men Hungersnøden tog til i Ægypten;

57 og Alverden kom til Ægypten for at købe Korn hos Josef; thi Hungersnøden tog til over hele Jorden.

Daniel 4

Studie

   

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.

3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

5 I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

7 Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.

8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, [saying],

9 Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

10 Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.

11 The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its sight to the end of all the earth.

12 The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all: the animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

13 I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.

14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth:

16 let his heart be changed from man's, and let an animal's heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

18 This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, don't let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered, My lord, the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.

20 The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;

21 whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation:

22 it is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth.

23 Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him;

24 this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come on my lord the king:

25 that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

26 Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.

27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.

28 All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.

30 The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you:

32 and you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].

34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or ask him, What are you doing?

36 At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.

37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
