Genesis 40
1 Patapita nthawi, woperekera zakumwa ndi wopanga buledi a ku nyumba kwa mfumu ya ku Igupto analakwira mbuye wawoyo.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Farao anapsa mtima ndi akuluakulu awiriwa,
And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 ndipo anakawatsekera mʼndende, nakawayika mʼmanja mwa mkulu wa asilikali olonda ku nyumba kwa mfumu kuja, mʼndende momwe Yosefe ankasungidwamo.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 Mkulu wa alonda aja anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Yosefe, ndipo iye anawasamalira. Iwo anakhala mʼndendemo kwa kanthawi.
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph to be with them, and he ministered unto them; and they continued a season in ward.
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 dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
6 Mmawa wake, Yosefe atabwera, anaona kuti nkhope zawo zinali zakugwa.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 Choncho anafunsa akuluakulu a kwa Farao amene anali naye mʼndende muja kuti, “Bwanji nkhope zanu zili zachisoni lero?”
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his master's house, saying: 'Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?'
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.”
And they said unto him: 'We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it.' And Joseph said unto them: 'Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.'
9 Choncho mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja anamuwuza Yosefe maloto ake. Anati, “Mʼmaloto anga ndinaona mtengo wa mpesa,
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him: 'In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 unali ndi nthambi zitatu. Mpesawo utangophukira, unachita maluwa ndipo maphava ake anabereka mphesa zakupsa.
and in the vine were three branches; and as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes,
11 Chikho cha Farao chinali mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo ndinatenga mphesa, kupsinyira mu chikho cha Farao ndi kuchipereka mʼmanja mwake.”
and Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.'
12 Yosefe anati kwa iye, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nthambi zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
And Joseph said unto him: 'This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
13 Pakangopita masiku atatu, Farao adzakutulutsa muno. Udzaperekera zakumwa kwa Farao monga momwe umachitira poyamba.
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office; and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14 Koma zako zikakuyendera bwino, udzandikumbukire ndi kundikomera mtima. Chonde ukandipepesere kwa Farao kuti anditulutse muno.
But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
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 indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.'
16 Mkulu wa opanga buledi ataona kuti Yosefe wapereka tanthauzo labwino, anati kwa Yosefe, “Inenso ndinalota nditasenza nsengwa zitatu za buledi.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: 'I also saw in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head;
17 Mu nsengwa yapamwamba munali zakudya zamitundumitundu za Farao, koma mbalame zimadya zakudyazo.”
and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.'
18 Yosefe anati, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: nsengwa zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
And Joseph answered and said: 'This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
19 Pakangotha masiku atatu Farao adzakutulutsa muno koma adzakupachika. Ndipo mbalame zidzadya mnofu wako.”
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.'
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.
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 Tsono Farao anamubwezera mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja pa udindo wake, kotero kuti anayamba kuperekeranso zakumwa kwa Farao,
And he restored the chief butler back unto his butlership; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 koma mkulu wa ophika buledi anamupachika, mofanana ndi mmene Yosefe anatanthauzira maloto.
But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Koma mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja sanamukumbukire Yosefe ndipo anamuyiwaliratu.
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
