Kĩambĩrĩria 40
1 Thuutha ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa watwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei, na mũndũ ũrĩa wathondekagĩra mũthamaki wa Misiri mĩgate-rĩ, makĩhĩtĩria mwathi wao, ũcio mũthamaki wa Misiri.
Later on the cupbearer and the baker committed some offense against their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Firaũni mũthamaki ũcio akĩrakario nĩ anene acio ake eerĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei na mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate,
Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker—
3 na akĩmahingĩrithia nyũmba ya mũnene wa arĩa arangĩri njeera, o ĩrĩa Jusufu oheetwo.
and imprisoned them in the house of the commander of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was.
4 Mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmaneana kũrĩ Jusufu amarorage, nake Jusufu akĩmatungatĩra. Na thuutha wa gũikara kĩoho-inĩ kwa ihinda-rĩ,
The commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant. They were kept in prison for some time.
5 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.
One night while they were in prison the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning.
6 Rĩrĩa Jusufu aathiire kũrĩ o rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ-rĩ, akĩona marĩ na kĩeha.
When Joseph arrived the next morning he noticed they both looked depressed.
7 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?”
So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?”
8 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ithuerĩ nĩtũrotete irooto, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wa gũcitaũra.” Jusufu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũtaũri ti wa Ngai? Njĩĩrai irooto cianyu.”
“We've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnene wa arĩa maatwaragĩra mũthamaki ndibei akĩĩra Jusufu kĩroto gĩake. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kĩroto-inĩ gĩakwa ndĩronire mũthabibũ ũrĩ mbere yakwa,
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. “In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,” he explained.
10 na ũraarĩ na honge ithatũ. Nacio iraaruta kĩro o ũguo iracanũka, nacio imanjĩka cia thabibũ irerua.
“The vine had three branches. As soon as it budded, it flowered, and produced clusters of ripe grapes.
11 Na niĩ ndĩrakorwo nyiitĩte gĩkombe kĩa Firaũni na guoko, ndĩrooya thabibũ icio, ndĩraacihihĩra gĩkombe-inĩ kĩa Firaũni, na ndĩramũnengera.”
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.”
12 Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Honge icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent three days.
13 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.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to.
14 No rĩrĩa maũndũ maku makaagaacĩra-rĩ, ũkandirikana ũnjiguĩre tha, ũngweete harĩ Firaũni, ũndute gũkũ njeera.
But when things go well for you, please remember me with kindness and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and please get me out of this prison.
15 Tondũ nĩkũnyiitwo ndaanyiitirwo na hinya, ngĩrutwo bũrũri wa Ahibirania, na ningĩ o na gũkũ gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndeekĩte wa gũtũma njikio njeera.”
I was cruelly kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in this pit even though I've done nothing wrong.”
16 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.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was positive, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. I had three baskets of cakes on my head.
17 Gĩkabũ kĩrĩa kĩrarigĩtie igũrũ kĩraarĩ na mĩgate ya mĩthemba yothe ĩthondekeirwo Firaũni; no nacio nyoni iramĩrĩĩaga ĩrĩ o gĩkabũ-inĩ ndĩgĩkuuĩte na mũtwe.”
In the top basket were all the cakes and pastries for Pharaoh to eat, and the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.”
18 Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũtaũri wakĩo nĩ ũyũ: Ikabũ icio ithatũ nĩ mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent three days.
19 Mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira-rĩ, Firaũni nĩagagũtinithia mũtwe na akwambithie mũtĩ igũrũ. Nacio nyoni nĩikarĩa nyama cia mwĩrĩ waku.”
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.”
20 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:
Three days later it happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, and he arranged a banquet for all his officials. He had the chief cupbearer and the chief baker released from prison and brought there before his officials.
21 Agĩcookia mũnene wa arĩa maamũtwaragĩra ndibei wĩra-inĩ wake, nĩgeetha acooke gũtwarĩra Firaũni gĩkombe rĩngĩ.
He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup.
22 No rĩrĩ, mũnene wa arĩa maamũthondekagĩra mĩgate-rĩ, akĩmũcuria mũtĩ igũrũ o ta ũrĩa Jusufu aamerĩte ũtaũri-inĩ wake.
But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams.
23 No mũnene ũcio wa arĩa maatwaragĩra Firaũni ndibei ndaigana kũririkana Jusufu; nĩariganĩirwo nĩwe.
But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
