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).
Kò pẹ́ lẹ́yìn èyí, ni agbọ́tí ọba àti alásè rẹ̀ ṣẹ̀ ọba Ejibiti, olúwa wọn.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
Farao sì bínú sí méjì nínú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, olórí agbọ́tí àti olórí alásè,
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.
Ó sì fi wọ́n sí ìhámọ́ ní ilé olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́, ní inú ẹ̀wọ̀n ibi tí Josẹfu pẹ̀lú wà.
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.
Olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ sì yan Josẹfu láti máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ wọn. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti wà ní ìhámọ́ fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
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.
Ni ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan àwọn ọkùnrin méjèèjì náà—olórí agbọ́tí àti olórí alásè ọba Ejibiti, tí a dè sínú túbú, lá àlá ní òru kan náà, àlá kọ̀ọ̀kan sì ní ìtumọ̀ tirẹ̀.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
Nígbà tí Josẹfu dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó ṣe àkíyèsí pé, inú wọn kò dùn.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Ó sì bi àwọn ìjòyè Farao tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú ìhámọ́, nínú ilé olúwa rẹ̀ léèrè pé, “Èéṣe tí ojú yín fi fàro bẹ́ẹ̀ ní òní, tí inú yín kò sì dùn?”
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.”
Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa méjèèjì ni a lá àlá, kò sì sí ẹni tí yóò túmọ̀ rẹ̀.” Josẹfu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ọlọ́run nìkan ni ó ni ìtumọ̀. Ẹ sọ àwọn àlá yín fún mi.”
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.
Olórí agbọ́tí sì ṣọ́ àlá rẹ̀ fún Josẹfu, wí pé, “Ní ojú àlá mi, mo rí àjàrà kan (tí wọn ń fi èso rẹ̀ ṣe wáìnì) níwájú mi,
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
mo sì rí ẹ̀ka mẹ́ta lórí àjàrà náà, ó yọ ẹ̀ka tuntun, ó sì tanná, láìpẹ́, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní í ní èso tí ó ti pọ́n.
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.”
Ife Farao sì wà lọ́wọ́ mi, mo sì mú àwọn èso àjàrà náà, mo sì fún un sínú ife Farao, mo sì gbé ife náà fún Farao.”
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.
Josẹfu wí fún un pé, “Èyí ni ìtumọ̀ àlá rẹ. Ẹ̀ka mẹ́ta náà dúró fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
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.
Láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta Farao yóò mú ọ jáde nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n padà sí ipò rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì tún máa gbé ọtí fún un, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìṣe rẹ àtẹ̀yìnwá.
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ohun gbogbo bá dára fún ọ, rántí mi kí o sì fi àánú hàn sí mi. Dárúkọ mi fún Farao, kí o sì mú mi jáde kúrò ní ìhín.
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!”
Nítorí á jí mi gbé tà kúrò ní ilẹ̀ àwọn Heberu ni, àti pé níhìn-ín èmi kò ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó fi yẹ kí èmi wà ní ìhámọ́ bí mo ti wà yìí.”
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.
Nígbà tí olórí alásè rí i wí pé ìtumọ̀ tí Josẹfu fún àlá náà dára, ó wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Èmi pẹ̀lú lá àlá, mo ru agbọ̀n oúnjẹ mẹ́ta lórí.
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!”
Nínú agbọ̀n tí ó wà lókè, onírúurú oúnjẹ ló wà níbẹ̀ fún Farao, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹyẹ sì ń ṣà wọ́n jẹ láti inú apẹ̀rẹ̀ náà tí ó wà lórí mi.”
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
Josẹfu dáhùn, “Èyí ni ìtumọ̀ àlá rẹ. Agbọ̀n mẹ́ta náà túmọ̀ sí ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
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.”
Láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, Farao yóò tú ọ sílẹ̀, yóò sì bẹ́ orí rẹ, yóò sì gbé ara rẹ kọ́ sí orí igi. Àwọn ẹyẹ yóò sì jẹ ara rẹ.”
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.
Ọjọ́ kẹta sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìbí Farao, ó sì ṣe àsè fún gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè e rẹ̀. Ó sì mú olórí agbọ́tí àti olórí alásè jáde kúrò nínú ẹ̀wọ̀n.
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.
Ó dá olórí agbọ́tí padà sí ipò tí ó wà tẹ́lẹ̀, kí ó ba à le máa fi ago lé Farao ní ọwọ́,
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.
ṣùgbọ́n, ó so olórí alásè kọ́ sórí igi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Josẹfu ti sọ fún wọn nínú ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ sí àlá wọn.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
Ṣùgbọ́n, olórí agbọ́tí kò rántí Josẹfu mọ́, kò tilẹ̀ ronú nípa rẹ̀.
