< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his 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 against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against 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 ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
Abwakaki bango na boloko kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, boloko epai wapi Jozefi azalaki.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph to be with them, and he ministered unto them; and they continued a season in ward.
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, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
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 unto them in the morning, and saw 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 officers that were with him in the ward of his master's house, saying: 'Wherefore look ye 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 unto him: 'We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it.' And Joseph said unto them: 'Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, 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 And the chief butler 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 as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe 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 I 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 unto 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 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office; and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
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 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto 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 away 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 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: 'I also saw 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 was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat 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 thereof: the three baskets are three days;
Jozefi alobaki na ye: — Tala ndimbola ya ndoto na yo: « Bitunga misato ezali mikolo misato.
19 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall 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, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
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 butler back unto his butlership; 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 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Kasi Faraon adiembikaki kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa, ndenge kaka Jozefi ayebisaki bango.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Kasi kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito atikalaki kokanisa lisusu Jozefi te: abosanaki ye.
