< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Sima na mwa tango, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito, basalaki mabe liboso ya nkolo na bango, mokonzi ya Ejipito.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
Faraon asilikelaki bakalaka na ye mibale ya lokumu: kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa.
3 and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
Abwakaki bango na boloko kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, boloko epai wapi Jozefi azalaki.
4 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.
Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi apesaki bango na maboko ya Jozefi mpo ete alandela bango. Boye basalaki mikolo mwa mingi na boloko.
5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
Ezalaki mokolo moko na butu, bango mibale, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito, balotaki moto na moto ndoto na ye mpe ndoto na ndoto ezalaki na ndimbola na yango.
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
Na tongo, Jozefi akendeki epai na bango mpe amonaki ete bazali mawa-mawa.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
Jozefi atunaki bakalaka ya lokumu ya Faraon, oyo bazalaki kati na boloko elongo na ye, kati na ndako ya nkolo na ye: — Mpo na nini lelo bilongi na bino ezali mawa-mawa?
8 And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
Bazongiselaki ye: — Biso mibale toloti bandoto; kasi moto ya kolimbola yango mpo na biso azali te. Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Boyebi te ete Nzambe nde apesaka ndimbola ya bandoto? Nabondeli bino, boyebisa ngai bandoto na bino.
9 Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Bongo kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito ayebisaki Jozefi ndoto na ye. Alobaki: — Na ndoto na ngai, namonaki nzete ya vino liboso na ngai.
10 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
Nzete yango ya vino ezalaki na bitape misato. Bongo ekomaki kobimisa mito, fololo mpe maboke ebimisaki bambuma ya kotela.
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Kopo ya Faraon ezalaki na maboko na ngai. Nazwaki bambuma ya vino, nakamolaki yango na kopo ya Faraon mpe napesaki ye kopo yango na maboko na ye.
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
Jozefi alobaki na ye: — Tala ndimbola ya ndoto na yo: « Bitape misato ezali mikolo misato.
13 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
Sima na mikolo misato, Faraon akotombola moto na yo mpe akozongisa yo na esika na yo ya mosala. Okotia lisusu kopo ya Faraon na maboko na ye ndenge ozalaki kosala na kala.
14 Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
Kasi tango makambo nyonso oyo ekotambola malamu mpo na yo, nabondeli yo, kanisa ngai mpe salela ngai bolamu, zala molobeli na ngai epai ya Faraon mpo ete abimisa ngai na boloko oyo.
15 for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Pamba te babimisaki ngai na makasi wuta na mokili ya Ba-Ebre; mpe awa nasali likambo moko te ya mabe mpo ete batia ngai na boloko. »
16 And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
Tango kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito asosolaki ete Jozefi apesaki ndimbola ya malamu, alobaki na Jozefi: — Ngai mpe nalotaki ndoto: « Bitunga misato ya mapa ezalaki likolo ya moto na ngai.
17 And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Kitunga ya likolo ezalaki na bagato ya ndenge na ndenge, oyo Faraon alingaka; kasi bandeke ezalaki kolia yango wuta na kitunga oyo ezalaki na moto na ngai. »
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
Jozefi alobaki na ye: — Tala ndimbola ya ndoto na yo: « Bitunga misato ezali mikolo misato.
19 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
Sima na mikolo misato, Faraon akokata moto na yo mpe akodiembika yo na nzete. Bongo bandeke ekolia mosuni na yo. »
20 And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
Sima na mikolo misato, ezalaki mokolo ya mbotama ya Faraon. Faraon asalisaki feti monene mpe abengisaki bakalaka na ye nyonso. Abimisaki na boloko, liboso ya bakalaka na ye, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi mpe kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa.
21 And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Faraon azongisaki na mosala, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga. Boye azongelaki lisusu kotia kopo na maboko ya Faraon.
22 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Kasi Faraon adiembikaki kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa, ndenge kaka Jozefi ayebisaki bango.
23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
Kasi kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito atikalaki kokanisa lisusu Jozefi te: abosanaki ye.
