Genesis 40
1 It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Egipte fia ƒe ahakula kple aboloƒola da vo ɖe woƒe aƒetɔ ŋu.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
Farao do dɔmedzoe ɖe dɔwɔla eve siawo, ahakulawo ƒe amegã kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ŋu,
3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
eye wòlé wo ame eveawo de gaxɔ si me Yosef nɔ le Potifar, ame si nye fiaŋumewo ƒe amegã la ƒe mɔ me.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
Wonɔ afi ma eteƒe didi, eye Potifar ɖoe na Yosef be wòakpɔ wo dzi.
5 And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
Le zã aɖe me la, ame eve siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, fia ƒe ahakula kple abolomela ku drɔ̃e vovovowo. Drɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe kple egɔmeɖeɖe.
6 Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
Esi ŋu ke la, Yosef kpɔ be wolé blanui.
7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
Yosef bia wo be, “Nu ka tututue le mia wɔm?”
8 They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
Woɖo eŋu be, “Mí ame evea míeku drɔ̃e le zã si va yi la me, ke ame aɖeke mele afi sia aɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí o.” Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Mawue ɖea drɔ̃e gɔme; ke milĩ drɔ̃eawo nam kpɔ.”
9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
Ale ahakulawo ƒe amegã la lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ wainka aɖe le ŋgɔnye le nye drɔ̃e la me,
10 and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
eye alɔ etɔ̃ nɔ wainka la ŋu. Esi wode asi dzedze kple seƒoƒo me ko la, woƒe tsetsewo de asi ɖiɖi me.
11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
Melé Farao ƒe ahakplu ɖe asi, ale megbe waintsetseawo, eye mefia wo ɖe kplu la me hetsɔ na fia la be wòano.”
12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wo drɔ̃e la gɔme. Alɔdze etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃!
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao aɖe wò tso gaxɔ me, eye wòana nàgayi wò dɔ dzi abe ahakula ene.
14 But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
Ne ègatrɔ yi wò dɔ me, eye mi kple Farao dome gava nyo la, meɖe kuku na wò be nàve nunye, aɖo ŋku dzinye na Farao be wòaɖem le gaxɔ me,
15 For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
elabena woƒlem dzoe tso nye amewo, Hebritɔwo dome; kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, meva le gaxɔ me le afi sia le esime nyemewɔ naneke si dze na gaxɔmenɔnɔ o.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
Esi aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã kpɔ be nya nyui le drɔ̃e gbãtɔ ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe me la, eya hã lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef hegblɔ be, “Le nye drɔ̃ekuku me la, melé abolokusi etɔ̃ ɖe ta;
17 In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
abolo ƒomevi vovovowo le kusi edzitɔ me na Farao, ke xeviwo va ɖu wo keŋkeŋ.”
18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Drɔ̃e la gɔmee nye be kusi etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃.
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao atso ta le nuwò, ahe wò ɖe ati ŋu, eye xeviwo aɖu wò lã.”
20 And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao ɖu eƒe dzigbezã, eye wòɖo kplɔ gã aɖe na eŋumewo kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo. Ena wokplɔ ahakula la kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã la tso gaxɔ me vɛ.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
Tete wògatsɔ ahakulawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ nɛ;
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
ke etso kufia na aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ya be woatɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu abe ale si Yosef gblɔe do ŋgɔ tututu ene.
23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Ke Farao ƒe ahakulawo ƒe amegã la ŋlɔ Yosef be enumake, eye megabua eŋu kura o.
