Chakruok 40
1 Bangʼ ndalo moko jagam divai kod jated makati mar Farao ruodh Misri nochwanyo ruoth.
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 Mirima nomako Farao gi jotichge ariyogo, ma gin jotend jagam divai kod jatend joma tedo makati.
The king became angry with both of them.
3 Kendo noketogi e od twech kama jatend askeche mar od twech notweyoe Josef.
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 Jatend askeche noketogi e lwet Josef mondo oritgi. Bangʼ kane gisebedo e od twech kuom kinde moko,
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 moro ka moro kuom ji ariyogi mane gin jatend jogam divai kod jatend joted makati mar ruodh Misri mane oyudo otwe, noleko lek otienono moro ka moro, kendo lek ka lek ne nigi tiende mopogore gi machielo.
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 Kane Josef obiro irgi kinyne gokinyi, noneno ka chunygi ool.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Kuom mano nopenjo jatich Farao mane ni kode e od twechgo niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo uol kawuono?”
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Negidwoke niya, “Waduto nyoro waleko lek mopogore opogore, to onge ngʼama nyalo lokonwa tiendgi.” Eka Josef nowachonegi niya, “Donge fwenyo tiend lek aa mane kuom Nyasaye? Emomiyo yieuru unyisa lekugo.”
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 Kuom mano jatend jogam Divai nonyiso Josef lek mane oleko. Nowachone niya, “E lekna nende aleko ni aneno yadh mzabibu e nyima,
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 kendo e yadh mzabibuno ne nitie bede adek. Kane ochako loth, nogolo thiepene kendo neginyago mzabibu mochiek mana gikanyono.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 Kikombe Farao ne ni e lweta, kendo nakawo olembe mag mzabibu mi abiyogi e kikombe mar Farao kendo aketo kikombe e lwete.”
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 Josef nowachone niya, “Ma e tiend lek mane ilekono. Bede yadh mzabibu adekgo nyiso ndalo adek.
[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 Bangʼ ndalo adek Farao biro gonyi kendo dwoki e tiji, kendo ibiro keto kikombe Farao e lwete mana kaka yande kitimo kane in jatingʼ divai mare.
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 To ka gik moko duto otimoreni maber, ipara kendo itimna ngʼwono; iwuona gi Farao mondo ogola e od twech.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Nikech nomaka githuon ka igola e piny jo-Hibrania, kendo kata mana kaonge gima rach ma asetimo manyalo miyo abedie od twech ka.”
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 Kane jatend joted makati oneno ni Josef oloko tiend lek maber, nowachone Josef niya, “An bende ne aleko kama: Atonge adek mag makati ne ni e wiya.
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 Ei atonga mamalo ne nitie chiemo duto motedi ni Farao, to winy ne chamogi ei atonga mamalono.”
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 Josef nowachone niya, “Ma e tiend leknino. Atonge adek nyiso ndalo adek.
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 Kapok okadho ndalo adek Farao biro golie od twech, kendo obiro ngʼado wiyi oko manolieri e yath kendo winy biro chamo ringri.”
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 Koro odiechiengʼ mar adek ne en odiechieng rapar mar nywol Farao, kendo noloso nyasi ne jotije duto. Nogonyo jatend jogam divai kod jatend joted makati moketogi e nyim jodonge.
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 Nodwoko jatend jogam divai e tije, mondo omi ochak oket kikombe e lwet Farao,
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 to jatend joted makati nonego, mana kaka Josef noselokonegi tiend lekgi.
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 To kata kamano jatend jogam divai ne ok oparo Josef; wiye nowil kode.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
