Genesis 40
1 Some time later, two of the king of Egypt’s officials did things that displeased him. One was his chief (drink-server/man who prepared the wine and served it to the king), and the other was his chief (baker/man who baked bread for the king).
Ni nazetto maw oh pacoengah, Izip siangpahrang ih boengloeng sinkung hoi buh thongkung loe angmah ih angraeng Izip siangpahrang koeh ai ih hmuen to sak hoi.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
Faro loe boengloeng sinkung hoi buh thongkung, angmah ih toksah angraeng hnik nuiah paroeai palungphui.
3 So he had them put in prison, in the house of the captain of the palace guards. That was the place where Joseph was being kept.
To pongah nihnik to Joseph thongkrakhaih ahmuen, im toepkung ohhaih im ah thong pakhrak hmaek.
4 The two men were in prison for a long time. And during that time the captain of the palace guards appointed Joseph to be their servant, to take care of their needs.
Thongim ukkung mah nihnik to Joseph ban ah paek moe, Joseph mah nihnik to khetzawn; ni nazetto maw loe to imthung ah thongkrak hoi.
5 One night while the king’s drink-server and his baker were there in the prison, each of them had a dream. Each dream had a different meaning.
To tiah thongim thungah oh hoi pacoengah, Izip siangpahrang ih boengloeng sinkung hoi buh thongkung mah, qumto naah angmah hnik hnuksak ih amang to a sak hoi hmaek.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
Joseph loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah nihnik khaeah caeh; nihnik to khet naah, palung a set hoi.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
To pongah angmah ih angraeng im ah angmah hoi nawnto thongkrah Faro ih toksah angraeng hnik khaeah, Tipongah vaihni loe palung na set hoi parai loe? tiah a naa.
8 One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”
Nihnik mah, Amang ka sak hoi, toe lehkung om ai, tiah a naa hoi. To pongah Joseph mah nihnik khaeah, Sithaw mah leh thai ai, tiah na poek hoi maw? Na mang to na thui hoih, tiah a naa.
9 So the king’s chief drink-server told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream I saw a grapevine in front of me.
To pongah boengloeng sinkung mah angmah ih amang to Joseph khaeah thuih pae; anih khaeah, Ka mang ah, misurkung to ka hmaa ah oh;
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
to misurkung pongah tanghang thumto oh; tanghang nuiah tadok to tacawt moe, apawk to apawk, athaih to tacawt moe, hminh;
11 I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.”
Faro ih boengloeng loe ka ban ah oh; misurthaih to ka pakhrik moe, Faro ih boengloeng ah ka pasawh pae, boengloeng to a ban ah ka paek, tiah a thuih pae.
12 [God immediately told Joseph what the dream meant]. So Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of your dream: The three branches of the vine represent three days.
Joseph mah anih khaeah, Amang thuih koehhaih loe hae tiah oh; tanghang thumto loe ni thumto thuih koehhaih ih ni.
13 Within three days the king will release you from prison. He will let you do the work that you did before. You will take cups of wine to the king as you did before, when you were his drink-server.
Ni thumto thungah Faro mah na lu to atoeng tahang ueloe, nangmah ih ahmuen ah na suem let tih; canghniah boengloeng sinkung ah na oh baktih toengah, Faro ban ah boengloeng paekkung ah na om let tih.
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
Khosak hoihaih na tongh naah, kai hae na pahnet hmah loe, ka nuiah na tahmenhaih amtuengsak ah; Faro khaeah kai ih kawng to na thui pae ah loe, hae thongim thung hoiah na loisak toeng ah;
15 People took me away forcefully from the land where my fellow Hebrews live. [I did nothing wrong there], and also while I have been here in Egypt, I have done nothing for which I deserved to be put in prison. So be kind to me and tell the king about me, so that he will release me from this prison!”
kai loe Hebru prae thung hoiah ang paquk o ving moe, hae prae ah doeh sakpazaehaih om ai ah thongim thungah ang pakhrak o let bae, tiah a naa.
16 When the chief baker heard that the meaning of the dream of the king’s drink-server was very favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. In the dream I was surprised to see three baskets of bread stacked on my head.
Joseph mah amang kahoih ah leh pae, tito buh thong kami mah panoek naah, Joseph khaeah, Kai doeh amang ka sak toeng, Khenah, ka lu nuiah takaw suekhaih kanglung takho thumto ka koeng;
17 In the top basket there were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”
ranui koek ih takho pongah loe Faro han ih takaw congca to oh; toe ka lu nui ih takaw loe tavaanawk mah caak o, tiah a naa.
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
Joseph mah, Amang thuih koehhaih loe hae tiah oh; takho thumto loe ni thumto thuih koehhaih ih ni;
19 Within three days the king will command that your head be cut off. Then your body will be hung on a tree, and vultures will come and eat your flesh.”
ni thumto thungah Faro mah na lu to pathawk tahang ueloe, thing pongah na bang tih; to pacoengah na ngan to tavaanawk mah caa o tih, tiah a naa.
20 The third day after that was the (king’s birthday/day they celebrated when the king became one year older). On that day the king invited all his officials to celebrate his birthday. During the celebration, while they were all gathered there, the king summoned his chief drink-server and chief baker from the prison.
Ni thumto naah Faro tapenhaih ni to oh; to naah anih mah angmah ih tamnanawk boih hanah buhraenghaih to sak pae; a tamnanawk salakah boengloeng sin kami hoi buh thong kami ih lu to atoengh pae tahang;
21 He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
boengloeng sin kami hanah loe tok to a paek let pongah, anih loe Faro ban ah boengloeng paek kami ah oh let;
22 But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams.
Toe buh thong kami loe Joseph mah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, thing nuiah a bangh.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
Toe boengloeng sin kami mah Joseph to panoek ai, pahnet ving boeh.
