约瑟为法老解梦；(喻)时来运转

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interprt it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river.

And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fled in meadow:

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.

And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

And when they have 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.

And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh. The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.

And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blasted with the cast wind shall be seven years of famine.

This is the thing which 1 have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

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

And there shall arise after them seven years of famone; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land.

And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

Gen.41:14-31

法老遂即差人去召约瑟，他们便急忙带他出监，他就剃头，刮脸，换衣裳，进到法老面前。

法老对约瑟说：“我作了一个梦没有人能解，我听见人说，你听了梦就能解。”

约瑟回答法老说：“这不在乎我，神必将平安的话回答法老。”

法老对约瑟说：“我梦见我站在河边，

有七只母牛从河里上来，又肥壮又美好，在芦荻中吃草。

随后，又有七只母牛上来，又软弱又丑陋又干瘦，在埃及遍地，我没有见过这样不好的。

这又干瘦又丑陋的母牛吃尽了那以先的七只肥母牛。

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。

我又梦见一棵麦子，长了七个穗子，又饱满又佳美，

随后又长了七个穗子，枯槁细弱，被东风吹焦了。

这些软弱的穗子吞了那七个佳美的穗子。我将这梦告诉了术士，却没有人能给我解梦。”

约瑟对法老说：“法老的梦乃是一个，神已将所要作的事指示法老了。

七只壮母牛是七年，七个好穗子也是七年。

这梦乃是一个。

那随后上来的七只又干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。

这就是我对法老所说，神已将所要作的事显明给法老了。

埃及遍地必来七个大丰年；

随后又要来七个荒年，甚至在埃及地都忘了先前的丰收，全地必被饥荒所灭。

因那以后的饥荒甚大，便不觉先前的丰收了。”
