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.
Baada ya muda, mnyweshaji na mwokaji wa mfalme wa Misri, wakamkosea bwana wao, mfalme wa Misri.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Farao akawakasirikia hawa maafisa wake wawili, mnyweshaji mkuu na mwokaji mkuu,
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.
akawaweka chini ya ulinzi katika nyumba ya mkuu wa kikosi cha ulinzi katika gereza lile lile alimofungwa Yosefu.
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.
Mkuu wa kikosi cha ulinzi akawakabidhi kwa Yosefu, naye akawahudumia. Walipokuwa wamekaa chini ya ulinzi kwa muda,
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.
kila mmoja wa hao wawili waliokuwa wamewekwa gerezani, yaani mnyweshaji na mwokaji wa mfalme wa Misri, waliota ndoto usiku mmoja, na kila ndoto ilikuwa na maana yake tofauti.
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
Yosefu alipowajia asubuhi yake, akawaona kwamba walikuwa na huzuni.
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?'
Ndipo Yosefu akawauliza maafisa hao wa Farao waliokuwa chini ya ulinzi pamoja naye nyumbani mwa bwana wake, akasema, “Mbona nyuso zenu zimejaa huzuni leo?”
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.'
Wakamjibu, “Sisi sote tuliota ndoto, lakini hapakuwa na mtu yeyote wa kuzifasiri.” Ndipo Yosefu akawaambia, “Je, kufasiri ndoto si kazi ya Mungu? Niambieni ndoto zenu.”
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him: 'In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Basi mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamweleza Yosefu ndoto yake. Akamwambia, “Katika ndoto yangu niliona mzabibu mbele yangu,
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,
nao mzabibu ulikuwa na matawi matatu. Mara tu ulipoanza kuchipua, maua yalichanua na vishada vyake vikawa zabibu zilizoiva.
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.'
Kikombe cha Farao kilikuwa mkononi mwangu, nikazitwaa zabibu, nikazikamua katika kikombe cha Farao, na nikaweka kikombe mkononi mwake.”
12 And Joseph said unto him: 'This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
Yosefu akamwambia, “Hii ndiyo maana yake: Matawi matatu ni siku tatu.
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.
Katika siku hizi tatu, Farao atakutoa gerezani na kukuweka tena kwenye nafasi yako, nawe utaweka kikombe cha Farao mikononi mwake, kama vile ulivyokuwa unafanya ulipokuwa mnyweshaji wake.
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.
Lakini wakati mambo yatakapokuwia mazuri, unikumbuke, unifanyie wema, useme mema juu yangu kwa Farao ili niondoke huku gerezani.
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.'
Kwa maana nilichukuliwa kwa nguvu kutoka nchi ya Waebrania, na hata hapa nilipo sikufanya lolote linalostahili niwekwe gerezani.”
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;
Yule mwokaji mkuu alipoona kuwa Yosefu amefasiri ikiwa na maana nzuri, akamwambia Yosefu, “Mimi pia niliota ndoto: Kichwani mwangu kulikuwepo vikapu vitatu vya mikate.
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.'
Katika kikapu cha juu kulikuwa na aina zote za vyakula vilivyookwa kwa ajili ya Farao, lakini ndege walikuwa wakivila kutoka kwenye kikapu nilichokuwa nimebeba kichwani.”
18 And Joseph answered and said: 'This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
Yosefu akamwambia, “Hii ndiyo maana yake: Vikapu vitatu ni siku tatu.
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.'
Katika siku hizi tatu, Farao atakata kichwa chako na kukutundika juu ya mti. Nao ndege watakula nyama ya mwili wako.”
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.
Mnamo siku ya tatu, ilikuwa kumbukumbu ya kuzaliwa kwa Farao, naye akawaandalia maafisa wake wote karamu. Akawatoa gerezani mnyweshaji mkuu na mwokaji mkuu, akawaweka mbele ya maafisa wake:
21 And he restored the chief butler back unto his butlership; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Ndipo akamrudisha mnyweshaji mkuu kwenye nafasi yake, ili aweke kikombe mikononi mwa Farao tena,
22 But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
lakini akamwangika yule mwokaji mkuu, sawasawa na jinsi Yosefu alivyowaambia katika tafsiri yake.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Pamoja na hayo, mnyweshaji mkuu hakumkumbuka Yosefu, bali alimsahau.
