Jenèz 40
1 Kèk tan apre sa, chèf kanbiz ak chèf boulanje wa Lejip la te fè mèt yo yon bagay.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and the baker, had sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Farawon an te move ni sou chèf kanbiz la ni sou chèf boulanje a.
Then fell the wroth of Pharaoh upon his two courtiers, upon the chief of the butlers, and upon the chief of the bakers;
3 Se konsa li te mete yo lakay kòmandan gad palè a, kote yo te fèmen Jozèf nan prizon an.
so he delivered them up into the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, into the prison, —the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4 Kòmandan gad palè a mete yo sou kont Jozèf pou l' sèvi yo. Yo pase kèk tan nan prizon an.
And the chief of the royal executioners charged Joseph with them and he waited upon them, and they were some days in ward.
5 Yon jou lannwit, antan yo nan prizon an, chèf kanbiz ak chèf boulanje wa a te fè yo chak yon rèv. Chak rèv te gen sans pa yo.
And they dreamed a dream they two, each man, his dream in one night, each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, —the butler and the baker who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the prison.
6 Lè Jozèf vin jwenn yo nan denmen maten, li jwenn yo boulvèse.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, —and looked at them, and lo! they were sad.
7 Li mande yo: -Poukisa nou kagou konsa jòdi a?
So he asked Pharaoh’s courtiers who were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces troubled to-day!
8 Yo reponn li: -Nou chak fè yon rèv, men pa gen pesonn isit la ki ka esplike nou rèv yo. Jozèf reponn yo: -Eske se pa Bondye sèl ki ka esplike bagay konsa? Rakonte m' rèv nou yo.
And they said unto him, A dream, have we dreamed, but there is none, to interpret, it. Then said Joseph unto them—Is it not unto God, that interpretations belong? Relate it. I pray you, to me.
9 Chèf kanbiz la rakonte Jozèf rèv li te fè a, li di l': -Nan rèv mwen an, mwen wè yon pye rezen devan m'.
And the chief of the butlers related his dream to Joseph, —and said to him, In my dream, then lo! a vine, before me;
10 Li te gen twa branch. Branch yo pran boujonnen, yo fè flè, yo fè rezen, rezen yo mi.
and, in the vine, three shoots, —and the same at sprouting time, had shot up her blossom, and her clusters had brought to perfection ripe grapes.
11 Gwo gode farawon an te nan men mwen. Mwen pran rezen yo, mwen pije yo nan gode farawon an, lèfini mwen bay wa a li.
Now, the cup of Pharaoh, being in my hand, I took the ripe grapes and pressed them out into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup upon Pharaoh’s palm.
12 Jozèf di li: -Men sa rèv la vle di: Twa branch yo se twa jou.
And Joseph said to him, This, is the interpretation thereof, —The three shoots are three days:
13 Nan twa jou, farawon an pral chonje ou, li pral mete ou nan pozisyon ou ankò. Ou pral bay farawon an diven jan ou te konn fè l' anvan lè ou te chèf kanbiz li a.
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office, and thou shalt set the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.
14 Men, lè tout bagay va mache byen pou ou, pa bliye m'. Tanpri, rann mwen sèvis sa a, pale ak farawon an pou mwen. Fè m' soti nan prizon sa a.
But if thou remember how I was with thee when it shall go well with thee, then wilt thou I pray thee do me a lovingkindness, —and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me forth out of this house;
15 Ou wè: se vòlè yo te vòlè m' nan peyi Ebre yo. Isit la menm, mwen pa t' fè anyen pou yo te mete m' nan prizon.
For I was, stolen, out of the land of the Hebrews, —and, even here, had I done nothing, that they should have put me in the dungeon,
16 Lè chèf boulanje a wè bèl esplikasyon Jozèf te bay lòt la, li di l': -Mwen menm tout mwen fè yon rèv. Mwen wè te gen twa panyen pen sou tèt mwen.
Then the chief of the bakers, seeing that he had well interpreted, said unto Joseph, I, too, was in my dream, when lo! three wicker baskets of fine bread were on my head;
17 Nan panyen ki te anwo nèt la, te gen tout kalite bagay yo konn kwit nan fou pou wa a. Men, zwazo t'ap manje yo nan panyen an sou tèt mwen.
and, in the uppermost basket, was some of every kind of food for Pharaoh that a baker could make, —but, the birds, kept eating them out of the basket from off my head.
18 Jozèf reponn li: -Men sa rèv la vle di: Twa panyen yo se twa jou.
And Joseph responded and said, This, is the interpretation thereof, The three baskets, are, three days:
19 Nan twa jou farawon an pral fè rele ou, l'ap fè yo pann ou nan yon pyebwa, kote zwazo ap vin dechèpiye ou.
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 Sou twa jou vre, farawon an t'ap fè yon gwo resepsyon pou tout chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo, paske se te jou fèt li. Li fè rele chèf kanbiz la ak chèf boulanje a devan tout lòt chèf yo.
And it came to pass on the third day the birthday of Pharaoh, that he made a banquet for all his servants, and uplifted the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers in the midst of his servants;
21 Li mete chèf kanbiz la nan plas li ankò pou sèvi l'.
and restored the chief of the butlers to his butlership, so that he set the cup upon the palm of Pharaoh;
22 Men, li fè pann chèf boulanje a, jan Jozèf te di yo a.
but, the chief of the bakers, he hanged, —as, Joseph, had interpreted unto them.
23 Men, chèf kanbiz la pa dòmi reve Jozèf, li bliye l' nèt.
Yet the chief of the butlers made no mention of Joseph but did forget him.
