Kamtawngnae 40
1 Hathnukkhu hoi teh, Izip siangpahrang misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung roi teh Izip siangpahrang koe lungyouk hoeh e lah ao roi.
Some time later, two of the king of Egypt’s officials did things that displeased him. One was his chief (drink-server/man who prepared the wine and served it to the king), and the other was his chief (baker/man who baked bread for the king).
2 Hatdawkvah, Faro teh a sannaw kahrawikung kacue kahni touh, misur kapoekung kacue hoi vaiyei kasakkungnaw dawk kacuepoung koe a lungphuen.
The king became angry with both of them.
3 Hottelah ama karingkung Joseph a bonae thongim koe a pabo awh.
So he had them put in prison, in the house of the captain of the palace guards. That was the place where Joseph was being kept.
4 Im karingkung kacue ni ahnimouh teh Joseph kut dawk hnin moikasaw lah a poe teh thaw a tawk roi.
The two men were in prison for a long time. And during that time the captain of the palace guards appointed Joseph to be their servant, to take care of their needs.
5 Thongim thung katek laihoi kaawm roi e Izip siangpahrang misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung roi teh tangmin buet touh dawk mang alouklouke reirei a sak roi.
One night while the king’s drink-server and his baker were there in the prison, each of them had a dream. Each dream had a different meaning.
6 A tangtho vah Joseph teh ahnimouh koe a kâen van teh, a kâhmo, hahoi a khet navah a minhmai a mathoe roi.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Hottelah Faro e im karingkung bawipa im e thongim ka bawt e tami koevah, bangkongmaw sahnin na minhmai a mathoe roi telah a pacei.
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Ahnimouh roi ni mang ka sak roi, ka deicaikung apihai awm hoeh telah ati roi. Joseph ni ahni koe mang dei thainae teh Cathut e nahoehmaw. Pahren lahoi na dei pouh haw atipouh.
One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”
9 Hottelah misur kapoenaw kahrawikung ni a mang teh Joseph koe a dei pouh. Ahni koe ka mang lavah khenhaw! ka hmalah misurkung a la o.
So the king’s chief drink-server told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream I saw a grapevine in front of me.
10 Misurkung dawkvah a cakang kathum touh ao. Ka dawn e patetlah ao teh, a peinaw hah a pei. Hote a peinaw ni ka hmin e misur paw a tâco sak.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 Hahoi Faro manang hah ka kut dawk ao teh, misur paw hah ka khi. Faro e manang dawk kasu teh manang hah Faro kut dawk ka poe telah ati.
I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.”
12 Joseph ni ahni koe hettelah han doeh. A cakang kathum touh e teh, hnin thum touh doeh.
[God immediately told Joseph what the dream meant]. So Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of your dream: The three branches of the vine represent three days.
13 Hnin thum touh thung Faro ni na tawm takhang vaiteh, na tawk e thaw hah bout na tawk sak han. Hottelah misur kapoekung lah na o navah, ouk na poe e patetlah Faro manang hah a kut dawk bout na poe han.
Within three days the king will release you from prison. He will let you do the work that you did before. You will take cups of wine to the king as you did before, when you were his drink-server.
14 Hatei, onae hmuen kahawi dawk na pha navah, kai na pahnim hanh lah a. Pahren lahoi na pahrennae hah kai koehai kamnuek sak. Faro koe kaie konglam na dei pouh van lah a, hete im dawk hoi na tâcawt sak van loe.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Hebru taminaw e ram thung hoi tami ni arulahoi na paru awh e doeh. Hete ram thung dawk hoi thongim thung a thung patuen lah bo nahan hai banghai ka sak hoeh ei nan heh ma telah ati.
People took me away forcefully from the land where my fellow Hebrews live. [I did nothing wrong there], and also while I have been here in Egypt, I have done nothing for which I deserved to be put in prison. So be kind to me and tell the king about me, so that he will release me from this prison!”
16 Vaiyei ka sak e ni hete deicainae hah ahawi tie a panue toteh, Joseph koevah, kai hai mang ka sak van. Khenhaw! ka lû dawk ka pangaw e takho yung thum touh ao.
When the chief baker heard that the meaning of the dream of the king’s drink-server was very favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. In the dream I was surprised to see three baskets of bread stacked on my head.
17 Avanlah kabang e takho dawk, Faro hanlah kahawi e vaiyei phunkuep ao. Hahoi ka lû dawk ka thueng e takho dawk e vaiyei hah tava ni a la ca telah ati.
In the top basket there were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”
18 Joseph ni, takho yung thum touh teh hnin thum touh doeh,
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 Hnin thum touh thung Faro ni na lû tâtueng vaiteh, thing dawk bang e lah na o han. Hahoi tavanaw ni na moi hah a ca han telah ati.
Within three days the king will command that your head be cut off. Then your body will be hung on a tree, and vultures will come and eat your flesh.”
20 Hahoi, apâthum hnin Faro khenae hnin a pha toteh, ahni ni a sannaw pueng hanelah buvennae pawi a sak pouh. Hahoi misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung naw e lû teh, a tawmrasang.
The third day after that was the (king’s birthday/day they celebrated when the king became one year older). On that day the king invited all his officials to celebrate his birthday. During the celebration, while they were all gathered there, the king summoned his chief drink-server and chief baker from the prison.
21 Joseph ni ahnimouh koe a deicai pouh e patetlah misur kapoekung teh amae tawk tangcoung e misur hah bout a poe teh, Faro kut dawk manang hai bout a poe.
He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
22 Vaiyei kasakkung teh thing dawk a vo awh.
But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams.
23 Hatei, misurtui kapoenaw kahrawikung ni Joseph hah panuek laipalah yout a pahnim.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
