《圣经》（新旧约全书）

小北

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

小北

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

小北

在那里同着我们有一个希伯来的少年人，是护卫长的仆人，我们告诉他，他就把我们的梦圆解，是按着各人的梦圆解的。

And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret

小北

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

小北

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。

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

小北

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

小北

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

小北

埃及遍地必来七个大丰年，
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt

小北

随后又要来七个荒年，甚至埃及地都忘了先前的丰收，全地必被饥荒所灭。

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

小北

因那以后的饥荒甚大，便不觉得先前的丰收了。
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous
