Genesis 40
1 Patapita nthawi, woperekera zakumwa ndi wopanga buledi a ku nyumba kwa mfumu ya ku Igupto analakwira mbuye wawoyo.
After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
2 Farao anapsa mtima ndi akuluakulu awiriwa,
And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
3 ndipo anakawatsekera mʼndende, nakawayika mʼmanja mwa mkulu wa asilikali olonda ku nyumba kwa mfumu kuja, mʼndende momwe Yosefe ankasungidwamo.
He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
4 Mkulu wa alonda aja anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Yosefe, ndipo iye anawasamalira. Iwo anakhala mʼndendemo kwa kanthawi.
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
5 Usiku wina, aliyense wa anthu awiriwa, wopereka zakumwa pamodzi ndi wopanga buledi wa ku nyumba ya mfumu ya ku Igupto aja, amene ankasungidwa mʼndende, analota maloto. Malotowo anali ndi tanthauzo lake.
And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
6 Mmawa wake, Yosefe atabwera, anaona kuti nkhope zawo zinali zakugwa.
And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
7 Choncho anafunsa akuluakulu a kwa Farao amene anali naye mʼndende muja kuti, “Bwanji nkhope zanu zili zachisoni lero?”
He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
8 Iwo anayankha, “Tonse awiri talota maloto, koma palibe wotitanthauzira malotowo.” Pamenepo Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Ndi Mulungu yekha amene amapereka matanthauzo a maloto. Uzeni ine maloto anu.”
They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
9 Choncho mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja anamuwuza Yosefe maloto ake. Anati, “Mʼmaloto anga ndinaona mtengo wa mpesa,
The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,
10 unali ndi nthambi zitatu. Mpesawo utangophukira, unachita maluwa ndipo maphava ake anabereka mphesa zakupsa.
On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:
11 Chikho cha Farao chinali mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo ndinatenga mphesa, kupsinyira mu chikho cha Farao ndi kuchipereka mʼmanja mwake.”
And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
12 Yosefe anati kwa iye, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nthambi zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
13 Pakangopita masiku atatu, Farao adzakutulutsa muno. Udzaperekera zakumwa kwa Farao monga momwe umachitira poyamba.
After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
14 Koma zako zikakuyendera bwino, udzandikumbukire ndi kundikomera mtima. Chonde ukandipepesere kwa Farao kuti anditulutse muno.
Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
15 Popezatu ine anangochita mondiba kubwera nane kuno kuchokera ku dziko la Ahebri, ndipo ngakhale kunoko, ine sindinalakwe kali konse kuti ndizipezeka mʼdzenje muno.”
For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
16 Mkulu wa opanga buledi ataona kuti Yosefe wapereka tanthauzo labwino, anati kwa Yosefe, “Inenso ndinalota nditasenza nsengwa zitatu za buledi.
The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
17 Mu nsengwa yapamwamba munali zakudya zamitundumitundu za Farao, koma mbalame zimadya zakudyazo.”
And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
18 Yosefe anati, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: nsengwa zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
19 Pakangotha masiku atatu Farao adzakutulutsa muno koma adzakupachika. Ndipo mbalame zidzadya mnofu wako.”
After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
20 Tsono tsiku lachitatulo linali lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Farao, ndipo anawakonzera phwando akuluakulu ake onse. Anatulutsa mʼndende mkulu wa operekera zakumwa ndi mkulu wa ophika buledi, ndipo anawayimiritsa pamaso pa nduna zake.
The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
21 Tsono Farao anamubwezera mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja pa udindo wake, kotero kuti anayamba kuperekeranso zakumwa kwa Farao,
And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:
22 koma mkulu wa ophika buledi anamupachika, mofanana ndi mmene Yosefe anatanthauzira maloto.
The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
23 Koma mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja sanamukumbukire Yosefe ndipo anamuyiwaliratu.
But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
