后来正如他给我们圆解的成就了。我官复原职,膳长被挂起来了。
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
法老对约瑟说,我作了一梦,没有人能解。我听见人说,你听了梦就能解。
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
约瑟回答法老说,这不在乎我,神必将平安的话回答法老。
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
随后又有七只母牛上来,又软弱又丑陋又乾瘦,在埃及遍地,我没有见过这样不好的。
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
吃了以后却看不出是吃了,那丑陋的样子仍旧和先前一样。我就醒了。
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
那随后上来的七只又乾瘦又丑陋的母牛是七年,那七个虚空,被东风吹焦的穗子也是七年,都是七个荒年。
And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
这就是我对法老所说,神已将所要作的事显明给法老了。
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
所以,法老当拣选一个有聪明有智慧的人,派他治理埃及地。
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
叫他们把将来丰年一切的粮食聚敛起来,积蓄五谷,收存在各城里作食物,归于法老的手下。
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
所积蓄的粮食可以防备埃及地将来的七个荒年,免得这地被饥荒所灭。
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
