¹ Nang magkagayon ay hindi nakapagpigil si Jose sa harap nilang lahat na nakatayo sa siping niya; at sumigaw, Paalisin ninyo ang lahat ng tao sa aking harap. At walang taong tumayo na kasama niya samantalang si Jose ay napakikilala sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

² At siya'y umiyak ng malakas: at narinig ng mga Egipcio, at narinig ng sangbahayan ni Faraon.

³ At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ako'y si Jose; buhay pa ba ang aking ama? At ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay hindi mangakasagot sa kaniya: sapagka't sila'y nagugulumihanan sa kaniyang harap.

⁴ At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Lumapit kayo sa akin, isinasamo ko sa inyo. At sila'y lumapit. At kaniyang sinabi: Ako'y si Jose na inyong kapatid, na inyong ipinagbili upang dalhin sa Egipto.

⁵ At ngayo'y huwag kayong magdalamhati, o magalit man sa inyong sarili na inyo akong ipinagbili rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang magadya ng buhay.

⁶ Sapagka't may dalawang taon nang ang kagutom ay nasa lupain; at may limang taon pang hindi magkakaroon ng pagbubukid, o pagaani man.

⁷ At sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang papanatilihin kayong pinakalahi sa lupa, at upang iligtas kayong buhay sa pamamagitan ng dakilang pagliligtas.

⁸ Hindi nga kayo ang nagsugo sa akin dito, kundi ang Dios: at kaniya akong ginawang ama kay Faraon, at panginoon sa buo niyang bahay, at tagapamahala ng buong lupain ng Egipto.

⁹ Magmadali kayo, at pumaroon kayo sa aking ama, at sabihin ninyo sa kaniya: Ganito ang sabi ng iyong anak na si Jose: Ginawa akong panginoon ng Dios sa buong Egipto: pumarito ka sa akin, huwag kang magluwat.

¹⁰ At ikaw ay tatahan sa lupain ng Gosen, at malalapit ka sa akin, ikaw at ang iyong mga anak, at ang mga anak ng iyong mga anak, at ang iyong mga kawan, at ang iyong mga bakahan, at ang iyong buong tinatangkilik.

¹¹ At doo'y kakandilihin kita; sapagka't may limang taong kagutom pa; baka ikaw ay madukha, ikaw at ang iyong sangbahayan, at ang lahat ng iyo.

¹² At, narito, nakikita ng inyong mga mata at ng mga mata ng aking kapatid na si Benjamin, na ang aking bibig ang nagsasalita sa inyo.

¹³ At inyong sasaysayin sa aking ama ang aking buong kaluwalhatian sa Egipto, at ang inyong buong nakita; at kayo'y magmamadali at inyong ibababa rito ang aking ama.

¹⁴ At siya'y humilig sa leeg ng kaniyang kapatid na si Benjamin, at umiyak; at si Benjamin ay umiyak sa ibabaw ng kaniyang leeg.

¹⁵ At kaniyang hinagkan ang lahat niyang kapatid, at umiyak sa kanila: at pagkatapos ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga kapatid.

¹⁶ At ang kabantugang yaon ay naibalita sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose: at ikinalugod ni Faraon, at ng kaniyang mga lingkod.

¹⁷ At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Sabihin mo sa iyong mga kapatid, Ito'y gawin ninyo: pasanan ninyo ang inyong mga hayop, at kayo'y yumaon, umuwi sa lupain ng Canaan;

¹⁸ At dalhin ninyo ang inyong ama at ang inyong mga sangbahayan, at pumarito kayo sa akin: at aking ibibigay sa inyo ang pinakamabuti sa lupain ng Egipto, at kakanin ninyo ang katabaan ng lupain.

¹⁹ Ngayo'y inuutusan ka, ito'y gawin ninyo; kumuha kayo ng mga kariton sa lupain ng Egipto para sa inyong mga bata, at sa inyong mga asawa, at dalhin ninyo rito ang inyong ama, at kayo'y pumarito.

²⁰ Huwag din ninyong lingapin ang inyong pag-aari; dahil sa ang buti ng buong lupain ng Egipto ay inyo.

²¹ At ginawang gayon ng mga anak ni Israel: at binigyan sila ni Jose ng mga kariton, ayon sa utos ni Faraon, at sila'y binigyan ng mababaon sa daan.

²² Sa kanilang lahat ay nagbigay siya ng mga pangpalit na bihisan; nguni't kay Benjamin ay nagbigay siya ng tatlong daang putol na pilak, at limang pangpalit na bihisan.

²³ At sa kaniyang ama ay nagpadala siya ng ganitong paraan; sangpung asnong may pasang mabuting mga bagay sa Egipto, at sangpung asna na may pasang trigo at tinapay at pagkain ng kaniyang ama sa daan.

²⁴ Sa ganito ay kaniyang pinapagpaalam ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at sila'y yumaon: at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Huwag kayong magkaaalit sa daan.

²⁵ At sila'y sumumpa mula sa Egipto, at naparoon sa lupain ng Canaan, kay Jacob na kanilang ama.

²⁶ At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Si Jose ay buhay pa, at siya'y puno sa buong lupain ng Egipto. At ang kaniyang puso ay nanglupaypay, sapagka't di niya pinaniwalaan sila.

²⁷ At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya ang lahat ng salita ni Jose, na kaniyang sinabi sa kanila: nang kaniyang makita ang mga karitong ipinadala ni Jose upang dalhin sa kaniya, ay nagsauli ang diwa ni Jacob na kanilang ama.

²⁸ At sinabi ni Israel, Siya na; si Jose na aking anak ay buhay pa: ako'y paroroon at titingnan ko siya, bago ako mamatay.

¹ It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

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

³ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁶ Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁷ The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

⁸ It 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.

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

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

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

¹² There 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.

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

¹⁴ Then 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.

¹⁵ Pharaoh 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."

¹⁶ Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

¹⁷ Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

¹⁸ and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

¹⁹ and 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.

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

²¹ and 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.

²² I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

²³ and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

²⁴ The 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."

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

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

²⁷ The 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.

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

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

³⁰ There 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,

³¹ and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

³² The 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.

³⁴ Let 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.

³⁵ Let 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.

³⁶ The 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."

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

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

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

⁴⁰ You 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."

⁴¹ Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

⁴² Pharaoh 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,

⁴³ and 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.

⁴⁴ Pharaoh 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."

⁴⁵ Pharaoh 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.

⁴⁶ Joseph 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.

⁴⁷ In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly.

⁴⁸ 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: the food of the field, which was around every city, he laid up in the same.

⁴⁹ Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

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

⁵¹ Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

⁵² The name of the second, he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

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

⁵⁴ The 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.

⁵⁵ When 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."

⁵⁶ The 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.

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