< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their master the king of Egypt.
Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, onye na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ eze Ijipt na onye na-esiri ya nri mehiere megide nna ha ukwu, eze Ijipt.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Nʼihi ya, Fero were iwe megide ndị ozi ya abụọ ndị a, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya na onye na-esiri ya nri.
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.
O tinyere ha na nga, nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ onyeisi ndị nche, ebe ahụ a tụbara Josef.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
Onyeisi ndị nche mere Josef onye na-elekọta ha. Ha nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
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, which were bound in the prison.
Ha abụọ, onye ahụ na-esiri eze nri, na onye na-ebu iko eze Ijipt, rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị. Nrọ nke onye ọ bụla nwere nkọwa nke ya.
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
Mgbe chi bọrọ, Josef bịakwutere ha hụ na ihu ha gbarụrụ agbarụ.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his master's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
Nʼihi ya, ọ jụrụ ndị ozi Fero ndị a ha na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ nna ya ukwu sị ha, “Gịnị mere ihu unu ji gbarụọ taa?”
8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? tell me them, I pray you.
Ha zara sị ya, “Anyị rọrọ nrọ ọjọọ, ma onye nkọwa ya adịghị.” Josef sịrị ha, “Ọ bụghị Chineke nwee ike ịkọwa nrọ? Kọọrọnụ m ha.”
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko kọọrọ Josef nrọ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Arọrọ m nrọ hụ osisi vaịnị nʼihu m.
10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Osisi vaịnị a nwere alaka atọ. Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, osisi vaịnị ahụ mara ifuru, mịpụta mkpụrụ nʼụyọkọ nʼụyọkọ, ha chakwaa.
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.
Ebe ọ bụ nʼiko Fero dị m nʼaka, a ghọọrọ m mkpụrụ vaịnị ndị a, pịpụta mmiri ha pịnye nʼime iko mmanya Fero, bunye ya ka ọ ṅụọ.”
12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
Josef sịrị ya, “Nke a bụ ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Alaka atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Nʼime abalị atọ Fero ga-akpọpụta gị, mee ka i nwere onwe gị. Fero ga-enyeghachikwa gị ọrụ gị. Ị ga-etinyekwa Fero iko ya nʼaka dịka i si eme na mbụ mgbe ị bụ onye na-ebu iko ya.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Mgbe ihe gaara gị nke ọma, chetakwa m, ma gosi m obiọma, gwara m Fero ka o si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a wepụta m.
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.
Ọ bụ ntọrọ ka atọọrọ m site nʼala ndị Hibru. Nʼotu aka ahụ, nʼebe a ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọjọọ ọ bụla m mere nke kwesiri ka atụnye m nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
Mgbe onyeisi ndị na-esiri Fero nri hụrụ na nkọwa nrọ ahụ dị mma, ọ sịrị Josef, “Mụ onwe m, na nrọ m nke m, ebu m nkata achịcha atọ nʼisi.
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
Nkata nke dị nʼelu jupụtara na achịcha dị iche iche e gheere eze, bụ Fero. Ma ụmụ nnụnụ bịara na-eri achịcha ndị ahụ dị na nkata m bụ nʼisi.”
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
Josef zara sị ya, “Lee ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Nkata atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
19 Yet within 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.
Nʼime abalị atọ ka Fero ga-esi nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta gị, nye iwu ka e bepụ gị isi, kwụba gị nʼelu osisi. Ụmụ nnụnụ ga-erichapụ anụ ahụ gị.”
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 of the chief baker among his servants.
Nʼabalị nke atọ, site nʼụbọchị ndị a rọrọ nrọ ha, Fero mere mmemme ncheta ọmụmụ ya. Ọ kpọrọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi oriri. O ziri ozi ka a gaa nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta onyeisi ndị na-ebunye ya iko ihe ọṅụṅụ na onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
O nyeghachiri onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya ọrụ ya, weghachi ya nʼọnọdụ ya. Nwoke a bunyekwara Fero iko ya dịka o si eme na mbụ.
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Ma ọ kwụgburu onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri, dịka Josef si kọwaa nrọ ha.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Ma onyeisi ndị ahụ na-ebu iko eze echetaghị Josef. O chefuru ya.
