Mose 1 40
1 Le ɣeyiɣi aɖe megbe la, Egipte fia ƒe ahakula kple aboloƒola da vo ɖe woƒe aƒetɔ ŋu.
After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 Farao do dɔmedzoe ɖe dɔwɔla eve siawo, ahakulawo ƒe amegã kple aboloƒolawo ƒe amegã ŋu,
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
3 eye wòlé wo ame eveawo de gaxɔ si me Yosef nɔ le Potifar, ame si nye fiaŋumewo ƒe amegã la ƒe mɔ me.
He put them in custody 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.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
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.
They both dreamt a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
6 Esi ŋu ke la, Yosef kpɔ be wolé blanui.
Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
7 Yosef bia wo be, “Nu ka tututue le mia wɔm?”
He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
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.”
They said to him, “We have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
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,
The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of 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. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced 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.”
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!
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: 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.
Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.
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 remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to 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 I have 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 to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 abolo ƒomevi vovovowo le kusi edzitɔ me na Farao, ke xeviwo va ɖu wo keŋkeŋ.”
In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Drɔ̃e la gɔmee nye be kusi etɔ̃awo fia ŋkeke etɔ̃.
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. 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.”
Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”
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.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker amongst his servants.
21 Tete wògatsɔ ahakulawo ƒe amegã ƒe dɔ nɛ;
He restored the chief cup bearer to his position 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 the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.
