1	And it fortuned at .ij. yeres end that Pharao dreamed and thought that he stode by a ryuers syde	After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,	When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,
2	and that there came out of the ryver vij. goodly kyne and fatt fleshed and fedd in a medowe.	and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass.	when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3	And him though that .vij. other kyne came vp after them out of the ryver euelfauored and leane fleshed and stode by the other vpon the brynke of the ryuer.	And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.	After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank.
4	And the evill favored and Ienefleshed kyne ate vp the .vij. welfauored and fatt kyne: and be awoke their with.	And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke.	And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5	And he slepte agayne and dreamed the second tyme that .vij. eares of corne grewe apon one stalke rancke and goodly.	And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.	He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk.
6	And that .vij. thynne eares blasted with the wynde spronge vp after them:	And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.	After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.
7	and that the .vij. thynne eares deuowrerd the .vij. rancke and full eares. And than Pharao awaked: and se here is his dreame.	And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.	The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy, full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been a dream.
8	When the mornynge came his sprete was troubled And he sent and casted for all the soythsayers of Egypte and all the wyse men there of and told them his dreame: b ut there was none of them that coude interpretate it vnto Pharao.	So in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.	In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
9	Than spake the chefe buttelar vnto Pharao saynge. I do remembre my fawte this daye.	Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today.	Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.
10	Pharao was angrie with his servauntes and put in warde in the chefe marshals house both me and the chefe baker.	When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,	Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
11	And we dreamed both of vs in one nyght and ech mannes dreame of a sondrye interpretation.	we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation.	Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
12	And there was with vs a yonge man an Hebrue borne servaunte vnto the chefe marshall. And we told him and he declared oure dreames to vs acordynge to ether of oure dreames.	A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream.	Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.
13	And as he declared them vnto vs euen so it came to passe. I was restored to myne office agayne and he was hanged.	And as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”	And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.”
14	Than Pharao sent and called Ioseph. And they made him haste out of preson. And he shaued him self and chaunged his rayment and went in to Pharao.	Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.	So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
15	And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I haue dreamed a dreame and no man ca interpretate it but I haue herde saye of the yt as soon as thou hearest a dreame thou dost interpretate it.	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had 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.”	Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16	And Ioseph answered Pharao saynge: God shall geue Pharao an answere of peace without me.	Joseph answered Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”	“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”
17	Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: in my dreame me thought I stode by a ryvers syde and there came out of the ryver	Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile.	Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
18	vij fatt fleshed ad well fauored kyne and fedd in the medowe.	Seven cows, plump and attractive, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass.	when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19	And then .vij. othe r kyne came vp after them poore and very euell fauored ad leane fleshed: so that I neuer sawe their lyke in all the lande of Egipte in euell fauordnesse.	Seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.	After them, seven other cows came up—scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt.
20	And the .vij. leane and euell fauored kyne ate vpp the first .vij. fatt kyne	And the thin, ugly cows ate up the first seven plump cows,	The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first.
21	And when they had eaten them vp a man cowde not perceaue that they had eate them: for they were still as evyll fauored as they were at the begynnynge. And I awoke.	but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.	But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.
22	And I sawe agayne in my dreame .vij. eares sprynge out of one stalk full and good	I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good.	“In my dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk.
23	and .vij. other eares wytherd thinne and blasted with wynde sprynge vp after them.	Seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,	After them, seven other heads sprouted—withered and thin and scorched by the east wind.
24	And the thynne eares deuowred the .vij. good cares. And I haue tolde it vnto the sothsayers but no man can tell me what it meaneth.	and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”	The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me.”
25	Then Ioseph sayde vnto Pharao: both Pharaos dreames are one. And god doth shewe Pharao what he is aboute to do.	Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.	Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26	The vij. good kyne are .vij yeare: and the .vij. good eares are .vij. yere also and is but one dreame.	The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one.	The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream.
27	Lykewyse the .vij. thynne and euell fauored kyne that came out after them are .vij. yeares: and the .vij. emptie and blasted eares shalbe vij. yeares of hunger.	The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also seven years of famine.	The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.
28	This is that which I sayde vnto Pharao that God doth shewe Pharao what he is aboute to doo.	It is as I told Pharaoh; God has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do.	“It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29	Beholde there shall come .vij. yere of great plenteousnes through out all the la nde of Egypte.	There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,	Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,
30	And there shall aryse after them vij. yeres of hunger. So that all the plenteousnes shalbe forgeten in the lande of Egipte. And the hunger shall consume the lande:	but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,	but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.
31	so that the plenteousnes shall not be once asene in the land by reason of that hunger that shall come after for it shalbe exceading great	and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.	The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe.
32	And as concernynge that the dreame was dubled vnto Pharao the second tyme it belokeneth that the thynge is certanly prepared of God ad that God will shortly brynge it to passe.	And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about.	The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.
33	Now therfore let Pharao provyde for a man of vnderstondynge and wysdome and sett him over the lande of Egipte.	Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.	“And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.
34	And let Pharao make officers ouer the lande and take vp the fyfte parte of the land of Egipte in the vij. plenteous yeres	Let Pharaoh proceed to appoint overseers over the land and take one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven plentiful years.	Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35	and let them gather all the foode of these good yeres that come ad lay vp corne vnder the power of Pharo: that there may be foode in the cities	And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.	They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.
36	and there let them kepte it: that there may be foode in stoore in the lande agaynst the .vij. yeres of hunger which shall come in the lande of Egipte and that the lande perishe not thorow hunger.	That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”	This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
37	And the saynge pleased Pharao ad all his seruauntes.	This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants.	The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.
38	Than sayde Pharao vnto his seruavauntes: where shall we fynde soch a ma as this is that hath the sprete of God in him?	And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”	So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”
39	wherfore Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: for as moch as God hath shewed the all this there is no man of vnderstondyng nor of wysdome lyke vnto the	Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are.	Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
40	Thou therfore shalt be ouer my house and acordinge to thy worde shall all my people obey: only in the kynges seate will I be aboue the.	You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.”	You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41	And he sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I haue sett the ouer all the lande of Egipte.	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”	So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”
42	And he toke off his rynge from his fyngre and put it vpon Iosephs fingre and arayed him in raymet of bisse and put a golden cheyne aboute his necke	Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck.	Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
43	and set him vpon the best charett that he had saue one. And they cryed before him Abrech ad that Pharao had made him ruelar ouer all the lande of Egipte.	And he made him ride in his second chariot. And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!” Thus he set him over all the land of Egypt.	He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him, “Make way!” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
44	And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I am Pharao without thi will shall no man lifte vp ether his hande or fote in all the lande of Egipte.	Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”	Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”
45	And be called Iosephs name Zaphnath Paenea. And he gaue him to wyfe Asnath the doughter of Potiphara preast of On. Than went Ioseph abrode in the lade of Egipte.	And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.	Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
46	And he was .xxx. yere olde whe he stode before Pharao kynge of Egipte. And than Ioseph departed from Pharao and went thorow out all the lande of Egipte.	Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.	Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt.
47	And in the .vij. pleteous yeres they made sheves and gathered	During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly,	During the seven years of abundance the land produced plentifully.
48	vp all the fode of the .vij. plenteous yeres which were in the lande of Egipte and put it in to the cities. And he put the food of the feldes that grewe rounde aboute euery cyte: euen in the same.	and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.	Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it.
49	And Ioseph layde vp corne in stoore lyke vnto the sande of the see in multitude out of mesure vntyll he left nombrynge: For it was with out nombre.	And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured.	Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.
50	And vnto Ioseph were borne .ij. sonnes before the yeres of hunger came which Asnath the doughter of Potiphara preast of On bare vnto him.	Before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him.	Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
51	And he called the name of the first sonne Manasse for God (sayde he) hath made me forgett all my laboure and all my fathers husholde.	Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh. “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”	Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.”
52	The seconde called he Ephraim for God (sayde he) hath caused me to growe in the lande of my trouble.	The name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”	The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”
53	And when the .vij. yeres plenteousnes that was in the lands of Egypte were ended	The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,	The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end,
54	than came the .vij. yeres of derth acordynge as Ioseph had sayde. And the derth was in all landes: but in the lade of Egipte was there yet foode.	and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.	and the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food.
55	When now all the lande of Egipte began to hunger than cried the people to Pharao for bread. And Pharao sayde vnto all Egipte: goo vnto Ioseph and what he sayth to you that doo	When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”	When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.”
56	And when the derth was thorow out all the lande Ioseph opened all that was in the cities and solde vnto the Egiptias And hunger waxed fore in the land of Egipte.	So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.	When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt.
57	And all countrees came to Egipte to Ioseph for to bye corne: because that the hunger was so sore in all landes.	Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.	And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.
