< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei, na mũndũ ũrĩa wathondekagĩra mũthamaki wa Misiri mĩgate-rĩ, makĩhĩtĩria mwathi wao, ũcio mũthamaki wa Misiri.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two [of] his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
Firaũni mũthamaki ũcio akĩrakario nĩ anene acio ake eerĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate,
3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
na akĩmahingĩrithia nyũmba ya mũnene wa arĩa arangĩri njeera, o ĩrĩa Jusufu oheetwo.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.
Mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmaneana kũrĩ Jusufu amarorage, nake Jusufu akĩmatungatĩra. Na thuutha wa gũikara kĩoho-inĩ kwa ihinda-rĩ,
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who [were] bound in the prison.
o ũmwe wa acio eerĩ, ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei na mũthondeki wa mĩgate ya mũthamaki wa Misiri, o acio maahingĩirwo njeera, makĩroota irooto ũtukũ ũmwe, na o kĩroto kĩarĩ na mũtaũrĩre wakĩo.
6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they [were] sad.
Rĩrĩa Jusufu aathiire kũrĩ o rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ-rĩ, akĩona marĩ na kĩeha.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye [so] sad to-day?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria anene acio a Firaũni, o acio moohetwo hamwe nake nyũmba-inĩ ya mwathi wake, atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũtukie ithiithi cianyu ũmũthĩ?”
8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ithuerĩ nĩtũrotete irooto, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũcitaũra.” Jusufu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũtaũri ti wa Ngai? Njĩĩrai irooto cianyu.”
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa arĩa maatwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei akĩĩra Jusufu kĩroto gĩake. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa ndĩronire mũthabibũ ũrĩ mbere yakwa,
10 And on the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes:
na ũraarĩ na honge ithatũ. Nacio iraaruta kĩro o ũguo iracanũka, nacio imanjĩka cia thabibũ irerua.
11 And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Na niĩ ndĩrakorwo nyiitĩte gĩkombe kĩa Firaũni na guoko, ndĩrooya thabibũ icio, ndĩraacihihĩra gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa Firaũni, na ndĩramũnengera.”
12 And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days;
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Honge icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩegũgũtũũgĩria na agũcookie wĩra-inĩ waku, na ũcooke kũnengagĩra Firaũni gĩkombe gĩake, o ta ũrĩa wekaga rĩrĩa warĩ mũmũhei ndibei.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
No rĩrĩa maũndũ maku makaagaacĩra-rĩ, ũkandirikana ũnjiguĩre tha, ũngweete harĩ Firaũni, ũndute gũkũ njeera.
15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Tondũ nĩkũnyiitwo ndaanyiitirwo na hinya, ngĩrutwo bũrũri wa Ahibirania, na ningĩ o na gũkũ gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndeekĩte wa gũtũma njikio njeera.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:
Na rĩrĩa mũnene wa arĩa athondeki mĩgate onire atĩ Jusufu nĩataũra kĩroto kĩu wega-rĩ, akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩndĩrarootete: Ndĩrakuuĩte ikabũ ithatũ cia mĩgate na mũtwe.
17 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Gĩkabũ kĩrĩa kĩrarigĩtie igũrũ kĩraarĩ na mĩgate ya mĩthemba yothe ĩthondekeirwo Firaũni; no nacio nyoni iramĩrĩĩaga ĩrĩ o gĩkabũ-inĩ ndĩgĩkuuĩte na mũtwe.”
18 And Joseph answered, and said, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three baskets [are] three days:
Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Ikabũ icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩagagũtinithia mũtwe na akwambithie mũtĩ igũrũ. Nacio nyoni nĩikarĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku.”
20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa gatatũ warĩ wa kũririkana gũciarwo kwa Firaũni, nake akĩrugithĩria anene ake iruga inene. Nake akĩririkana mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate mbere ya anene arĩa angĩ ake:
21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Agĩcookia mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei wĩra-inĩ wake, nĩgeetha acooke gũtwarĩra Firaũni gĩkombe rĩngĩ.
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate-rĩ, akĩmũcuria mũtĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa Jusufu aamerĩte ũtaũri-inĩ wake.
23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
No mũnene ũcio wa arĩa maatwaragĩra Firaũni ndibei ndaigana kũririkana Jusufu; nĩariganĩirwo nĩwe.
