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.
Later on the cupbearer and the baker committed some offense against 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 these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and 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 commander of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was.
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 commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant. 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.
One night while they were in prison the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning.
6 Mincang ah amih taengla Joseph kun tih amih rhoi te a sawt hatah a hmai vik tal rhoi.
When Joseph arrived the next morning he noticed they both looked depressed.
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 Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?”
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've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? 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 right in front of me,” he explained.
10 Misur dongah a baek pathum neh a muem, a pai khaw cuen, misur kah a su khaw hmin.
“The vine had three branches. As soon as it budded, it flowered, and produced clusters of ripe 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.
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.”
12 Joseph loh anih te, “A thuingaihnah he, misur baek pathum te khohnin hnin thum ni.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent 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.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to.
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 things go well for you, please remember me with kindness and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and please 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.
I was cruelly kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in this pit even though I've done nothing wrong.”
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 positive, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. I had three baskets of cakes 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 the cakes and pastries for Pharaoh to eat, and the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.”
18 Te dongah Joseph loh a doo tih, “A thuingaihnah he tah kodawn pathum khohnin hnin thum ni.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent 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.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.”
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.
Three days later it happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, and he arranged a banquet for all his officials. He had the chief cupbearer and the chief baker released from prison and brought there before his officials.
21 Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa te amah kah tuitul la koep a khueh tih Pharaoh kut ah boengloeng a doe.
He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup.
22 Tedae buh thong mangpa te tah Joseph kah a thuicaih van bangla a kuiok sak.
But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams.
23 Tedae tuitul mangpa loh Joseph te a poek mueh la a hnilh
But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
