And Pharao awaked, and see it was a dreame. 8 And when the mornyng came, his spirite was troubled, and he sent and called for all the southsayers of Egypt, and all the wyse men thereof: and Pharao tolde them his dreame, but there was none of them that coulde interprete it vnto Pharao. 9 The spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharao, saying: I do remember my faultes this day: 10 Pharao beyng angry with his seruauntes, put in warde in the chiefe stewardes house both me, and the chiefe baker. 11 And we dreamed both of vs in one nyght, and eche mans dreame of a sundry interpretation. 12 And there was with vs a young man, an Hebrue borne, seruaunt vnto the chiefe stewarde: to whom when we tolde them, he declared our dreames to vs, accordyng to eyther of our dreames. 13 And as he declared them to vs, euen so it came to passe: For he restored me to myne office agayne, and hanged hym. 14 Pharao sent therfore and called Ioseph: and they brought him hastyly out of the dungeon. And he shaued himselfe and chaunged his rayment, and came vnto Pharao. 15 And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: I haue dreamed a dreame, & no man can interprete it: & I haue heard say of thee that assoone as thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it. 16 Ioseph aunswered Pharao, saying: Not I, but God shall geue Pharao an aunswere of peace. 17 And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: In my dreame me thought I stoode by a ryuers syde, 18 And there came out of the ryuer seuen fat flesshed and well fauoured kyne, and fedde in a medowe. 19 And then seuen other kyne came out after them, poore, and very yll fauoured and leane flesshed, such as I neuer saw in all the lande of Egypt, they were so yll fauoured. 20 And the seuen leane and yll fauoured kyne, did eate vp the first seuen fat kine: 21 And when they had eaten them vp, a man coulde not perceaue that they had eaten them, but they were styll yll fauoured as they were at the begynnyng: and I awoke. 22 And I saw againe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and fayre. 23 And beholde, seuen eares agayne withered, thinne, and blasted with the east wynde, sprang vp after them. 24 And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares: and I haue tolde the southsayers, but there was no man that coulde tell what it meaneth. 25 And Ioseph aunswered Pharao: both Pharaos dreames are one, God hath shewed Pharao what he is about to do. 26 The seuen good kyne, are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seue yeres also: and it is but one dreame. 27 Lykewyse the seuen thinne and euyll fauoured kine that came vp after them, are seuen yeres, and the seuen emptie & blasted eares with the east wynde, shalbe seuen yeres of famine. 28 This worde which I haue sayde vnto Pharao, is it that God is about to do, and sheweth it vnto Pharao. 29 Beholde there come seuen yeres of great plenteousnes throughout all the lande of Egypt. 30 And agayne, there shall aryse after them seuen yeres of famine, and all the plenteousnes shalbe forgotten in the lande of Egypt: and the famine shall consume the lande. 31 Neither shall the plenteousnes be knowen in the lande, by reason of that famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceedyng great. 32 And as concernyng that the dreame was doubled vnto Pharao the seconde tyme: beholde, the thyng is certainly prepared of God, and God wyll shortly bryng it to passe. 33 Nowe therfore let Pharao prouide for a man of vnderstandyng, and wisedome, & set him ouer the land of Egypt. 34 And let Pharao do this also, that he make officers ouer the lande, & take vp the fift part of the inheritaunce in ye land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeres. 35 And let them gather all the foode of these good yeres that come: and laye vp corne vnder the hande of Pharao, and let them kepe foode in the cities. 36 And so shall that foode be for store in the lande agaynst the seuen yeres of famine, which shall come in the lande of Egypt, that ye lande perishe not through famine.
