Suencuek 40
1 Hekah olka a om phoeiah Egypt manghai kah tuitul neh buh thong loh a boei Egypt manghai taengah lai a hmuh rhoi.
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Te dongah Pharaoh tah a imkhoem tuitul rhoi kah mangpa neh buh thong rhoek kah mangpa taengah a thintoek.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 Te dongah amih rhoi te imtawt mangpa im kah thongim ah a khueh. Te im kah thong hmuen ah Joseph te a khoh.
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 Te dongah imtawt mangpa loh thongtla rhoek taengah Joseph te a hlah tih amih taengah thotat. Te tlam te thongim ah vuenhlaem om uh.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 Tedae Egypt manghai loh thong im kah a khoh tuitul boei neh buh thong boei loh khoyin pakhat ah mang a man rhoi. A mang rhoi te khaw, a mang thuingaihnah khaw bok om.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 Mincang ah amih taengla Joseph kun tih amih rhoi te a sawt hatah a hmai vik tal rhoi.
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 Te dongah a boei im kah thongim ah amah neh aka om Pharaoh imkhoem te a dawt tih, “Tihnin atah balae tih na hmai a thae rhoi,” a ti nah.
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8 Te vaengah Joseph la mang ka man rhoi van dae aka thuicaih om pawh,” a ti nah rhoi. Te dongah Joseph loh amih rhoi te, “Thuingaihnah he Pathen hut moenih a? Kai taengah thui rhoi mai,” a ti nah.
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Te dongah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa loh a mang te Joseph taengah a thui tih, “Ka mang ah misur kung te ka hmai ah lawt om.
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10 Misur dongah a baek pathum neh a muem, a pai khaw cuen, misur kah a su khaw hmin.
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 Te vaengah Pharaoh kah boengloeng te ka kut ah om. Te phoeiah misur thaih te ka loh tih Pharaoh boengloeng dongah ka sui phoeiah boengloeng te Pharaoh kut ah ka paek,” a ti nah.
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12 Joseph loh anih te, “A thuingaihnah he, misur baek pathum te khohnin hnin thum ni.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
13 Hnin thum khuiah Pharaoh loh na lu te a dangrhoek vetih nang te namah hmuen la m'mael sak ni. Hnukbuet ah a tuitul la na om vaengkah khosing bangla Pharaoh te a kut dongah boengloeng na doe ni.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
14 Tedae namah taengkah kai nan poek mai atah namah ham a voelphoeng vaengah kai taengah sitlohnah tueng sak mai. Pharaoh taengah kai n'thoelh lamtah kai he, he im lamloh n'khuen ne.
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.
15 Hebrew kho lamkah a huen la n'huen phoeiah hiah khaw ba ka saii pawt maiah tangrhom la kai n'hlak uh,” a ti nah.
For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 A then la a thuicaih te buh thong rhoek kah mangpa long khaw a hmuh vaengah Joseph la, “Kai khaw ka mang vaengah vaidam te kodawn pathum neh ka lu ah ka doeng.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 Te vaengah Pharaoh kah cakok ka thong boeih te a so kah kodawn dongah om. Tedae ka lu sokah kodawn te vaa loh a caak,” a ti nah.
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Te dongah Joseph loh a doo tih, “A thuingaihnah he tah kodawn pathum khohnin hnin thum ni.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 Hnin thum khuiah Pharaoh loh na lu te na pumdong lamkah a phil vetih thing dongla n'kuiok sak phoeiah na saa te vaa loh a caak ni,” a ti nah.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
20 Te phoeikah a thum khohnin dongah Pharaoh cun nah khohnin om tih a sal boeih ham buhkoknah a saii. Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa lu neh buh thong rhoek kah mangpa lu te a sal lakli ah a dangrhoek.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa te amah kah tuitul la koep a khueh tih Pharaoh kut ah boengloeng a doe.
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 Tedae buh thong mangpa te tah Joseph kah a thuicaih van bangla a kuiok sak.
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 Tedae tuitul mangpa loh Joseph te a poek mueh la a hnilh
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
