Mose 1 40

1 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Egipte fia ƒe ahakula kple aboloƒola da vo ɖe woƒe aƒetɔ ŋu.

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.

2 Farao do dɔmedzoe ɖe dɔwɔla eve siawo, ahakulawo ƒe amegã kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ŋu,

And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

3 eye wòlé wo ame eveawo de gaxɔ si me Yosef nɔ le Potifar, ame si nye fiaŋumewo ƒe amegã la ƒe mɔ me.

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 Wonɔ afi ma eteƒe didi, eye Potifar ɖoe na Yosef be wòakpɔ wo dzi.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

5 Le zã aɖe me la, ame eve siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, fia ƒe ahakula kple abolomela ku drɔ̃e vovovowo. Drɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe kple egɔmeɖeɖe.

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, which were bound in the prison.

6 Esi ŋu ke la, Yosef kpɔ be wolé blanui.

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

7 Yosef bia wo be, “Nu ka tututue le mia wɔm?”

And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

8 Woɖo eŋu be, “Mí ame evea míeku drɔ̃e le zã si va yi la me, ke ame aɖeke mele afi sia aɖe drɔ̃eawo gɔme na mí o.” Yosef gblɔ na wo be, “Mawue ɖea drɔ̃e gɔme; ke milĩ drɔ̃eawo nam kpɔ.”

And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

9 Ale ahakulawo ƒe amegã la lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ wainka aɖe le ŋgɔnye le nye drɔ̃e la me,

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

10 eye alɔ etɔ̃ nɔ wainka la ŋu. Esi wode asi dzedze kple seƒoƒo me ko la, woƒe tsetsewo de asi ɖiɖi me.

And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

11 Melé Farao ƒe ahakplu ɖe asi, ale megbe waintsetseawo, eye mefia wo ɖe kplu la me hetsɔ na fia la be wòano.”

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.

12 Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wo drɔ̃e la gɔme. Alɔdze etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃!

And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

13 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao aɖe wò tso gaxɔ me, eye wòana nàgayi wò dɔ dzi abe ahakula ene.

Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

14 Ne ègatrɔ yi wò dɔ me, eye mi kple Farao dome gava nyo la, meɖe kuku na wò be nàve nunye, aɖo ŋku dzinye na Farao be wòaɖem le gaxɔ me,

But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

15 elabena woƒlem dzoe tso nye amewo, Hebritɔwo dome; kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, meva le gaxɔ me le afi sia le esime nyemewɔ naneke si dze na gaxɔmenɔnɔ o.”

For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

16 Esi aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã kpɔ be nya nyui le drɔ̃e gbãtɔ ƒe gɔmeɖeɖe me la, eya hã lĩ eƒe drɔ̃e la na Yosef hegblɔ be, “Le nye drɔ̃ekuku me la, melé abolokusi etɔ̃ ɖe ta;

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

17 abolo ƒomevi vovovowo le kusi edzitɔ me na Farao, ke xeviwo va ɖu wo keŋkeŋ.”

And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

18 Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Drɔ̃e la gɔmee nye be kusi etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

19 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao atso ta le nuwò, ahe wò ɖe ati ŋu, eye xeviwo aɖu wò lã.”

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.

20 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ megbe la, Farao ɖu eƒe dzigbezã, eye wòɖo kplɔ gã aɖe na eŋumewo kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo. Ena wokplɔ ahakula la kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã la tso gaxɔ me vɛ.

And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21 Tete wògatsɔ ahakulawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ nɛ;

And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:

22 ke etso kufia na aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ya be woatɔ eƒe ŋutilã ɖe ati nu abe ale si Yosef gblɔe do ŋgɔ tututu ene.

But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Ke Farao ƒe ahakulawo ƒe amegã la ŋlɔ Yosef be enumake, eye megabua eŋu kura o.

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
