Genesis 40
1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
Patapita nthawi, woperekera zakumwa ndi wopanga buledi a ku nyumba kwa mfumu ya ku Igupto analakwira mbuye wawoyo.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
Farao anapsa mtima ndi akuluakulu awiriwa,
3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
ndipo anakawatsekera mʼndende, nakawayika mʼmanja mwa mkulu wa asilikali olonda ku nyumba kwa mfumu kuja, mʼndende momwe Yosefe ankasungidwamo.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
Mkulu wa alonda aja anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Yosefe, ndipo iye anawasamalira. Iwo anakhala mʼndendemo kwa kanthawi.
5 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.
Usiku wina, aliyense wa anthu awiriwa, wopereka zakumwa pamodzi ndi wopanga buledi wa ku nyumba ya mfumu ya ku Igupto aja, amene ankasungidwa mʼndende, analota maloto. Malotowo anali ndi tanthauzo lake.
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
Mmawa wake, Yosefe atabwera, anaona kuti nkhope zawo zinali zakugwa.
7 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?”
Choncho anafunsa akuluakulu a kwa Farao amene anali naye mʼndende muja kuti, “Bwanji nkhope zanu zili zachisoni lero?”
8 “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.”
Iwo anayankha, “Tonse awiri talota maloto, koma palibe wotitanthauzira malotowo.” Pamenepo Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Ndi Mulungu yekha amene amapereka matanthauzo a maloto. Uzeni ine maloto anu.”
9 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
Choncho mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja anamuwuza Yosefe maloto ake. Anati, “Mʼmaloto anga ndinaona mtengo wa mpesa,
10 and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
unali ndi nthambi zitatu. Mpesawo utangophukira, unachita maluwa ndipo maphava ake anabereka mphesa zakupsa.
11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
Chikho cha Farao chinali mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo ndinatenga mphesa, kupsinyira mu chikho cha Farao ndi kuchipereka mʼmanja mwake.”
12 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
Yosefe anati kwa iye, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nthambi zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
13 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.
Pakangopita masiku atatu, Farao adzakutulutsa muno. Udzaperekera zakumwa kwa Farao monga momwe umachitira poyamba.
14 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.
Koma zako zikakuyendera bwino, udzandikumbukire ndi kundikomera mtima. Chonde ukandipepesere kwa Farao kuti anditulutse muno.
15 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.”
Popezatu ine anangochita mondiba kubwera nane kuno kuchokera ku dziko la Ahebri, ndipo ngakhale kunoko, ine sindinalakwe kali konse kuti ndizipezeka mʼdzenje muno.”
16 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.
Mkulu wa opanga buledi ataona kuti Yosefe wapereka tanthauzo labwino, anati kwa Yosefe, “Inenso ndinalota nditasenza nsengwa zitatu za buledi.
17 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.”
Mu nsengwa yapamwamba munali zakudya zamitundumitundu za Farao, koma mbalame zimadya zakudyazo.”
18 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
Yosefe anati, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: nsengwa zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu.
19 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.”
Pakangotha masiku atatu Farao adzakutulutsa muno koma adzakupachika. Ndipo mbalame zidzadya mnofu wako.”
20 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.
Tsono tsiku lachitatulo linali lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Farao, ndipo anawakonzera phwando akuluakulu ake onse. Anatulutsa mʼndende mkulu wa operekera zakumwa ndi mkulu wa ophika buledi, ndipo anawayimiritsa pamaso pa nduna zake.
21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
Tsono Farao anamubwezera mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja pa udindo wake, kotero kuti anayamba kuperekeranso zakumwa kwa Farao,
22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
koma mkulu wa ophika buledi anamupachika, mofanana ndi mmene Yosefe anatanthauzira maloto.
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
Koma mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja sanamukumbukire Yosefe ndipo anamuyiwaliratu.
