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.

Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;

2 Te dongah Pharaoh tah a imkhoem tuitul rhoi kah mangpa neh buh thong rhoek kah mangpa taengah a thintoek.

And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;

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 he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.

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.

And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison 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.

And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.

6 Mincang ah amih taengla Joseph kun tih amih rhoi te a sawt hatah a hmai vik tal rhoi.

And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

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.

And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

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.

Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

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.

Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw 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; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

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.

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

12 Joseph loh anih te, “A thuingaihnah he, misur baek pathum te khohnin hnin thum ni.

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: 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.

After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.

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 keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get 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 truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.

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.

Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my 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.

And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.

18 Te dongah Joseph loh a doo tih, “A thuingaihnah he tah kodawn pathum khohnin hnin thum ni.

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: 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.

After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.

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.

Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.

21 Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa te amah kah tuitul la koep a khueh tih Pharaoh kut ah boengloeng a doe.

And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22 Tedae buh thong mangpa te tah Joseph kah a thuicaih van bangla a kuiok sak.

But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.

23 Tedae tuitul mangpa loh Joseph te a poek mueh la a hnilh

But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.
