< Genesis 40 >
1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
Hekah olkaa om phoeiah Egypt manghai kah tuitul neh buh thong loh a boei Egypt manghai taengah lai a hmuh rhoi.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
Te dongah Pharaoh tah a imkhoem tuitul rhoi kah mangpa neh buh thong rhoek kah mangpa taengaha thintoek.
3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
Te dongah amih rhoi te imtawt mangpa im kah thongim aha khueh. Te im kah thong hmuenah Joseph te a khoh.
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,
Te dongah imtawt mangpa loh thongtlarhoek taengah Joseph tea hlah tih amih taengah thotat. Te tlamte thongim ah vuenhlaem om uh.
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.
Tedae Egypt manghai loh thong im kaha khoh tuitul boei neh buh thong boei loh khoyin pakhat ah manga man rhoi. A mang rhoi te khaw, a mang thuingaihnah khaw bok om.
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
Mincang ah amih taengla Joseph kun tih amih rhoi tea sawt hatah a hmai vik tal rhoi.
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?”
Te dongah a boei im kah thongim ah amah neh aka om Pharaoh imkhoem tea dawt tih, “Tihnin atah balaetih na hmaia thae rhoi,” a ti nah.
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.”
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.
9 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
Te dongah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa loh a mang te Joseph taengaha thui tih, “Ka mang ah misur kung te ka hmai ah lawt om.
10 and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
Misur dongaha baek pathum neh a muem, a pai khaw cuen, misur kah a su khaw hmin.
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.”
Te vaengah Pharaoh kah boengloengte 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.
12 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
Joseph loh anih te, “A thuingaihnah he, misur baek pathumte khohnin hnin thum ni.
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.
Hnin thum khuiah Pharaoh loh na lu tea dangrhoek vetih nangte namah hmuen la m'mael sak ni. Hnukbuetah a tuitul la na om vaengkah khosing bangla Pharaohte a kut dongah boengloengna doe ni.
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.
Tedae namah taengkah kai nan poek mai atah namah hama voelphoeng vaengah kai taengah sitlohnah tueng sak mai. Pharaoh taengah kai n'thoelh lamtah kai he, he im lamloh n'khuen ne.
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.”
Hebrew kho lamkaha huen la n'huen phoeiah hiah khaw ba ka saii pawt maiah tangrhom la kai n'hlak uh,” a ti nah.
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.
A thenlaa thuicaih te buh thong rhoek kah mangpa long khawa hmuh vaengah Joseph la, “Kai khaw ka mang vaengah vaidamte kodawn pathum neh ka lu ah ka doeng.
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.”
Te vaengah Pharaoh kah cakok ka thong boeih tea so kah kodawn dongah om. Tedae ka lu sokah kodawn te vaaloh a caak,” a ti nah.
18 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
Te dongah Josephloh a doo tih, “A thuingaihnah he tah kodawn pathum khohnin hnin thum ni.
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.”
Hnin thum khuiah Pharaoh loh na lute na pumdong lamkaha phil vetih thing dongla n'kuiok sak phoeiah na saa te vaaloh a caak ni,” a ti nah.
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.
Te phoeikaha thum khohnin dongah Pharaoh cunnah khohnin om tih a sal boeih ham buhkoknaha saii. Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa lu neh buh thong rhoek kah mangpa lu te a sal lakli aha dangrhoek.
21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
Te vaengah tuitul rhoek kah mangpa te amah kah tuitul la koep a khueh tih Pharaoh kut ah boengloenga doe.
22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
Tedae buh thong mangpa te tah Joseph kah a thuicaih van banglaa kuiok sak.
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
Tedae tuitul mangpa loh Joseph tea poek mueh laa hnilh
