< 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.
Ikawa baada ya mambo haya, mnyweshaji wa mfalme wa Misri na mwokaji wa mfalime walimkosa bwana wao, mfalme wa Misri.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
Farao akawakasirikia hawa maafsa wawili, mkuu wa wanyweshaji na mkuu wa waokaji.
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.
Akawaweka katika lindo katika nyumba ya kapteni wa walinzi, katika gereza lile Yusufu alimofungwa.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
Kapteni wa walinzi akamweka Yusufu kuwa mtumishi wao. Walikaa kifungoni kwa muda fulani.
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.
Wote wakaota ndoto - mnyweshaji na mwokaji wa mfalme wa Misri waliokuwa wamefungwa gerezani - kila mmoja akaota ndoto usiku huo huo, na kila ndoto ilikuwa na tafsiri yake.
6 Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
Yusufu akaja kwao asubuhi na kuwaona. Tazama, walikuwa na uzuni.
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?"
Akawauliza maafsa wa Farao waliokuwa pamoja naye kifungoni katika nyumba ya bwana wake, kusema, “Kwa nini leo mnaoneka wenye uzuni?”
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."
Wakamwambia, Sisi wote tumeota ndoto na hakuna wakuitafsiri.” Yusufu akawambia, “Je tafsiri haitoki kwa Mungu? Niambieni, tafadhari.”
9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
Mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamwambia Yusufu ndoto yake. Akamwambia, “Katika ndoto yangu, tazama, kulikuwa na mzabibu mbele yangu.
10 and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
Na kulikuwa na matawi matatu katika mzabibu huo. Ulipochipua, ukachanua maua na kuzaa vichala vya zabibu.
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."
Kikombe cha Farao kilikuwa mkononi mwangu. Nikachukua zabibu na kuzikamua katika kikombe cha Farao, na kukiweka kikombe katika mkono wa Farao.”
12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Yusufu akamwambia, “Tafsiri yake ni hii. Yale matawi matatu ni siku tatu.
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.
Ndani ya siku tatu Farao atakiinua kichwa chako na kukurudisha katika nafasi yako. Utakiweka kikombe cha Farao katika mkono wake, kama ulivyokuwa ulipokuwa mnyweshaji wake.
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.
Lakini unikumbuke ukifanikiwa, na unionesha wema. Unitaje kwa Farao na kuniondoa hapa gerezani.
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."
Maana hakika nilitekwa kutoka katika nchi ya Waebrania. Na hapa sijafanya chochote kinachonipasa niwekwe gerezani.”
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.
Mkuu wa waokaji alipoona kwamba tafsiri ilikuwa ya kuvutia, akamwambia Yusufu, “Mimi pia niliota ndoto, na tazama, vikapu vitatu vya mikate vilikuwa juu ya kichwa changu.
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."
Katika kikapu cha juu kulikuwa na kila aina za bidhaa ya kuokwa kwa Farao, lakini ndege wakavila ndani ya kikapu juu ya kichwa changu.”
18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Yusufu akajibu na kusema, “Tafsiri ni hii. Vikapu vitatu ni siku tatu.
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."
Ndani ya siku tatu Fareao atakiinua kichwa chako kutoka kwako na atakutundika juu ya mtu. Ndege watakula mwili wako.”
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.
Ikawa siku ya tatu ambayo ilikuwa ni siku ya kuzaliwa kwa Farao. Akafanya sherehe kwa watumishi wake wote. “Akakiinua juu” kichwa cha mkuu wa wanyweshaji na kichwa cha mkuu wa waokaji, kati ya watumishi wake.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
Akamrudisha mkuu wa wanyweshaji katika majukumu yake, na akakiweka tena kikombe katika mkono wa Farao.
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Lakini akamtundika mkuu wa waokaji, kama Yusufu alivyokuwa amewatafsiria.
23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Hata hivyo mkuu wa wanyweshaji hakukumbuka kumsaidia Yusufu. Badala yake, alimsahau.
