Genesis 40
1 After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo omusenero wa kabaka w’e Misiri wamu n’omukulu wa bafumbi be ne banyiiza mukama waabwe kabaka w’e Misiri.
2 And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
Falaawo n’asunguwalira nnyo abakungu be abo: omusenero n’omukulu w’abafumbi,
3 He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
n’abawaayo mu mikono gy’omukulu w’ekkomera, Yusufu mwe yali.
4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
Omukulu w’ekkomera n’abawa Yusufu okubakuuma, n’abalabirira, ne babeera mu kkomera.
5 And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
Naye ekiro kimu omusenero n’omukulu wa bafumbi aba kabaka w’e Misiri abaali mu kkomera ne baloota, buli omu ekirooto kye, era nga buli kimu kirina amakulu gaakyo.
6 And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
Yusufu bwe yajja gye bali ku makya, n’abalaba nga beeraliikirivu.
7 He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
N’alyoka abuuza abakungu ba Falaawo abaali naye mu kkomera, mu nnyumba ya mukama waabwe nti, “Lwaki leero mulabika nga mweraliikiridde?”
8 They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Twaloose ebirooto, naye tewali wa kubivvuunula.” Awo Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Katonda y’abivvuunula. Kale mbasaba mubimbuulire.”
9 The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,
Awo omusenero n’ategeeza Yusufu ekirooto kye n’agamba nti, “Nalabye omuti omutiini mu kirooto.
10 On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:
Ku mutiini nga kuliko amatabi asatu, gwabadde gwakatojjera ne gumulisa, ebirimba ne bibaako zabbibu ennyengevu.
11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
Nga nkute ekikopo kya Falaawo mu ngalo zange, ne nzirira zabbibu ne nzikamulira mu kikopo kya Falaawo, ne nkimukwasa.”
12 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
Yusufu n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Gano ge makulu gaakyo: amatabi asatu, ze nnaku esatu;
13 After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
mu nnaku ssatu Falaawo alikuggya mu kkomera n’akuzza mu kifo kyo, era olimukwasa ekikopo nga bwe wakolanga edda ng’oli musenero we.
14 Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
Kyokka onzijukiranga ng’otuuse mu maaso ga Falaawo, onzijukiranga n’onjogerako gy’ali nkwegayiridde, alyoke anzigye mu kkomera.
15 For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
Kubanga ddala naggyibwa buggyibwa mu nsi y’Abaebulaniya; ate na wano sirina kye nakola kinsaanyiza kuteekebwa mu kkomera.”
16 The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
Omukulu w’abafumbi ba Falaawo bwe yalaba ng’amakulu g’ekirooto ky’oli gaali malungi, n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Nange naloose ekirooto: nga neetisse ku mutwe ebibbo by’emigaati bisatu.
17 And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
Mu kibbo ekyokusatu mwabaddemu buli ngeri ya mmere enjokye eya Falaawo. Kyokka ng’ennyonyi zigiriira ku mutwe gwange.”
18 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
Awo Yusufu n’amuddamu nti, “Gano ge makulu gaakyo: ebibbo ebisatu z’ennaku ssatu;
19 After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
bwe wanaayitawo ennaku ssatu Falaawo ajja kukutemako omutwe, akuwanike ku muti, omulambo gwo guliibwe ebinyonyi.”
20 The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
Ku lunaku olwokusatu, lwali lunaku lwa mazaalibwa ga Falaawo, n’akolera abaweereza be bonna embaga, n’atumya omusenero n’omukulu w’abafumbi.
21 And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:
Omusenero n’amuzza ku mulimu gwe, n’atandika okuweereza Falaawo,
22 The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
kyokka ye omukulu w’abafumbi n’amuwanika ku muti, nga Yusufu bwe yavvuunula ebirooto byabwe.
23 But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
Naye omusenero n’atajjukira Yusufu n’amwerabira n’atamussaako mwoyo.
