< 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).
Sia bui naa, hambu atahori rua. Maꞌahulu na, ruꞌa se malangga tao mataꞌ sia mane Masir ume panggat na. Esa tao mataꞌ neu maneꞌ a nininu na, ma esa tao mataꞌ neu maneꞌ a roti na. Lao esa ara tao rasalaꞌ maneꞌ a. Maneꞌ a namanasa, de tao se bui rala reu. De ruꞌa se leo mamanaꞌ sa ro Yusuf.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
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.
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.
Boe ma, malangga bui a parenda Yusuf tao mataꞌ neu ruꞌa se. Ara leo sia naa losa too esa do rua.
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.
Tetembaꞌ esa, ruꞌa se ralamein. Esa-esaꞌ no meit na. Meit naa ra esaꞌ no sosoa na.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, Yusuf nema, nita ruꞌa se mata nara susa.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Ana natane se nae, “Taꞌo bee de mata mara nda matetuꞌ sa?”
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.”
Ara rataa rae, “Tembaꞌ a hai milimein, te hai nda bubꞌuluꞌ sosoa na sa.” Boe ma Yusuf olaꞌ nae, “Nda hambu atahori esa nahine meit ra sosoa na sa, akaꞌ a Lamatualain. Hei dui sobꞌa dei. Dei fo au sangga sosoa na mia Lamatualain.”
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.
Basa naa ma, atahori mana tao mataꞌ neu maneꞌ a nininu na, dui nae, “Taꞌo ia. Sia meit ngga, au ita hau huuꞌ anggor esa,
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
nasaranggaa telu. Hau huuꞌ naa naroo neuꞌ ena, nabuna, ma naboa latu nggingginuꞌ.
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.”
Basa ma ita, au toꞌu maneꞌ a nggala nininu na. Boe ma au haꞌi boa anggor de eꞌee oe na nisiꞌ maneꞌ a nggala na. Basa de, au loo fee maneꞌ a fo ninu.”
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.
Rena taꞌo naa, boe ma Yusuf nafadꞌe nae, “Amaꞌ. Meit naa sosoa na taꞌo ia: masaranggaaꞌ telu naa, sosoa na fai telu.
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.
Siaꞌ a fai telu rala ia, maneꞌ a fee amaꞌ kalua mia bui ia. Basa naa ana soꞌu baliꞌ amaꞌ, fo tao mataꞌ seluꞌ neu nininu na onaꞌ maꞌahulu na.
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
Mete ma amaꞌ uanale ma taꞌo naa, naa, afiꞌ liliiꞌ au o! Mete ma amaꞌ sue au, tulun mufadꞌe maneꞌ a, fo ana tao au deaꞌ uu mia mamanaꞌ ia dei.
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!”
Te tungga matetuꞌ na, ara haꞌi raꞌasususaꞌ au mia atahori Ibrani ra kambo na. Sia ia, au nda tao deꞌulakaꞌ saa saꞌ boe. Tao-tao te, ara tao au bui rala uu ena, onaꞌ au, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ.
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.
Atahori mana tao roti a rena nala meit a sosoa na meulaun taꞌo naa ma, ana dui Yusuf nae, “Odꞌiꞌ e. Au o ulumein taꞌo ia: au suu boa telu.
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!”
Sia boa ata ka, hambu maneꞌ a kokis na mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te mbuiꞌ ra rema de raa hendi basa se, mia langga ngga ata.”
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
Yusuf rena nala ma, nataa nae, “Amaꞌ meit na, sosoa na taꞌo ia: boa ka teluꞌ naa ra, sosoa na fai telu.
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.”
Siaꞌ a fai telu rala ia, maneꞌ a denu atahori rema tati hendi amaꞌ langga na. De ara londa amaꞌ ao na neu rii. Boe ma mbuiꞌ ra rema bidꞌo rabasa amaꞌ ao sisi na.”
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.
Seli fai telu ma, nandaa no maneꞌ a fai bobꞌonggi na, ana tao fefeta monaeꞌ fee basa pagau nara. Ana parenda se reu kalua pagau karuaꞌ ra dea reu.
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.
Basa ma, ana soꞌu baliꞌ pagau mana tao mataꞌ neu maneꞌ a nininu na, neu baliꞌ panggat fefeu na, fo ana tao mataꞌ baliꞌ neu maneꞌ a nininu na.
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.
Te pagau mana tao mataꞌ neu maneꞌ a roti na, ara londa risa e, onaꞌ a Yusuf oꞌola na.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
Te pagau mana tao mataꞌ nininuꞌ a, nda nasanedꞌa Yusuf sa. Ana liliiꞌ hendi e.
