< Genesis 40 >

1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei, na mũndũ ũrĩa wathondekagĩra mũthamaki wa Misiri mĩgate-rĩ, makĩhĩtĩria mwathi wao, ũcio mũthamaki wa Misiri.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
Firaũni mũthamaki ũcio akĩrakario nĩ anene acio ake eerĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate,
3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
na akĩmahingĩrithia nyũmba ya mũnene wa arĩa arangĩri njeera, o ĩrĩa Jusufu oheetwo.
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,
Mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmaneana kũrĩ Jusufu amarorage, nake Jusufu akĩmatungatĩra. Na thuutha wa gũikara kĩoho-inĩ kwa ihinda-rĩ,
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.
o ũmwe wa acio eerĩ, ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei na mũthondeki wa mĩgate ya mũthamaki wa Misiri, o acio maahingĩirwo njeera, makĩroota irooto ũtukũ ũmwe, na o kĩroto kĩarĩ na mũtaũrĩre wakĩo.
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
Rĩrĩa Jusufu aathiire kũrĩ o rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ-rĩ, akĩona marĩ na kĩeha.
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?”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria anene acio a Firaũni, o acio moohetwo hamwe nake nyũmba-inĩ ya mwathi wake, atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũtukie ithiithi cianyu ũmũthĩ?”
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.”
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ithuerĩ nĩtũrotete irooto, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũcitaũra.” Jusufu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũtaũri ti wa Ngai? Njĩĩrai irooto cianyu.”
9 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa arĩa maatwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei akĩĩra Jusufu kĩroto gĩake. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa ndĩronire mũthabibũ ũrĩ mbere yakwa,
10 and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
na ũraarĩ na honge ithatũ. Nacio iraaruta kĩro o ũguo iracanũka, nacio imanjĩka cia thabibũ irerua.
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.”
Na niĩ ndĩrakorwo nyiitĩte gĩkombe kĩa Firaũni na guoko, ndĩrooya thabibũ icio, ndĩraacihihĩra gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa Firaũni, na ndĩramũnengera.”
12 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Honge icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
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.
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩegũgũtũũgĩria na agũcookie wĩra-inĩ waku, na ũcooke kũnengagĩra Firaũni gĩkombe gĩake, o ta ũrĩa wekaga rĩrĩa warĩ mũmũhei ndibei.
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.
No rĩrĩa maũndũ maku makaagaacĩra-rĩ, ũkandirikana ũnjiguĩre tha, ũngweete harĩ Firaũni, ũndute gũkũ njeera.
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.”
Tondũ nĩkũnyiitwo ndaanyiitirwo na hinya, ngĩrutwo bũrũri wa Ahibirania, na ningĩ o na gũkũ gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndeekĩte wa gũtũma njikio njeera.”
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.
Na rĩrĩa mũnene wa arĩa athondeki mĩgate onire atĩ Jusufu nĩataũra kĩroto kĩu wega-rĩ, akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩndĩrarootete: Ndĩrakuuĩte ikabũ ithatũ cia mĩgate na mũtwe.
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.”
Gĩkabũ kĩrĩa kĩrarigĩtie igũrũ kĩraarĩ na mĩgate ya mĩthemba yothe ĩthondekeirwo Firaũni; no nacio nyoni iramĩrĩĩaga ĩrĩ o gĩkabũ-inĩ ndĩgĩkuuĩte na mũtwe.”
18 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Ikabũ icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
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.”
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩagagũtinithia mũtwe na akwambithie mũtĩ igũrũ. Nacio nyoni nĩikarĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku.”
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.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ warĩ wa kũririkana gũciarwo kwa Firaũni, nake akĩrugithĩria anene ake iruga inene. Nake akĩririkana mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate mbere ya anene arĩa angĩ ake:
21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
Agĩcookia mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei wĩra-inĩ wake, nĩgeetha acooke gũtwarĩra Firaũni gĩkombe rĩngĩ.
22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate-rĩ, akĩmũcuria mũtĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa Jusufu aamerĩte ũtaũri-inĩ wake.
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
No mũnene ũcio wa arĩa maatwaragĩra Firaũni ndibei ndaigana kũririkana Jusufu; nĩariganĩirwo nĩwe.
