《圣经》（新旧约全书）

小北

法老对约瑟说，我梦见我站在河边，

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

小北

有七只母牛从河里上来，又肥壮又美好，在芦荻中吃草。

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

小北

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

小北

这又乾瘦又丑陋的母牛吃尽了那以先的七只肥母牛，

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

小北

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

小北

我又梦见一棵麦子，长了七个穗子，又饱满又佳美，

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

小北

随后又长了七个穗子，枯槁细弱，被东风吹焦了。

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

小北

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

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

小北

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。

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

小北

七只好母牛是七年，七个好穗子也是七年。这梦乃是一个。

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