Jenesis 40
1 Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, onye na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ eze Ijipt na onye na-esiri ya nri mehiere megide nna ha ukwu, eze Ijipt.
While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
2 Nʼihi ya, Fero were iwe megide ndị ozi ya abụọ ndị a, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya na onye na-esiri ya nri.
And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
3 O tinyere ha na nga, nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ onyeisi ndị nche, ebe ahụ a tụbara Josef.
sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
4 Onyeisi ndị nche mere Josef onye na-elekọta ha. Ha nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
5 Ha abụọ, onye ahụ na-esiri eze nri, na onye na-ebu iko eze Ijipt, rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị. Nrọ nke onye ọ bụla nwere nkọwa nke ya.
And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
6 Mgbe chi bọrọ, Josef bịakwutere ha hụ na ihu ha gbarụrụ agbarụ.
And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
7 Nʼihi ya, ọ jụrụ ndị ozi Fero ndị a ha na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ nna ya ukwu sị ha, “Gịnị mere ihu unu ji gbarụọ taa?”
he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
8 Ha zara sị ya, “Anyị rọrọ nrọ ọjọọ, ma onye nkọwa ya adịghị.” Josef sịrị ha, “Ọ bụghị Chineke nwee ike ịkọwa nrọ? Kọọrọnụ m ha.”
They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
9 Onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko kọọrọ Josef nrọ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Arọrọ m nrọ hụ osisi vaịnị nʼihu m.
The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
10 Osisi vaịnị a nwere alaka atọ. Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, osisi vaịnị ahụ mara ifuru, mịpụta mkpụrụ nʼụyọkọ nʼụyọkọ, ha chakwaa.
on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
11 Ebe ọ bụ nʼiko Fero dị m nʼaka, a ghọọrọ m mkpụrụ vaịnị ndị a, pịpụta mmiri ha pịnye nʼime iko mmanya Fero, bunye ya ka ọ ṅụọ.”
And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
12 Josef sịrị ya, “Nke a bụ ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Alaka atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
13 Nʼime abalị atọ Fero ga-akpọpụta gị, mee ka i nwere onwe gị. Fero ga-enyeghachikwa gị ọrụ gị. Ị ga-etinyekwa Fero iko ya nʼaka dịka i si eme na mbụ mgbe ị bụ onye na-ebu iko ya.
after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
14 Mgbe ihe gaara gị nke ọma, chetakwa m, ma gosi m obiọma, gwara m Fero ka o si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a wepụta m.
Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.
15 Ọ bụ ntọrọ ka atọọrọ m site nʼala ndị Hibru. Nʼotu aka ahụ, nʼebe a ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọjọọ ọ bụla m mere nke kwesiri ka atụnye m nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a.”
For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”
16 Mgbe onyeisi ndị na-esiri Fero nri hụrụ na nkọwa nrọ ahụ dị mma, ọ sịrị Josef, “Mụ onwe m, na nrọ m nke m, ebu m nkata achịcha atọ nʼisi.
The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head,
17 Nkata nke dị nʼelu jupụtara na achịcha dị iche iche e gheere eze, bụ Fero. Ma ụmụ nnụnụ bịara na-eri achịcha ndị ahụ dị na nkata m bụ nʼisi.”
and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
18 Josef zara sị ya, “Lee ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Nkata atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
19 Nʼime abalị atọ ka Fero ga-esi nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta gị, nye iwu ka e bepụ gị isi, kwụba gị nʼelu osisi. Ụmụ nnụnụ ga-erichapụ anụ ahụ gị.”
after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
20 Nʼabalị nke atọ, site nʼụbọchị ndị a rọrọ nrọ ha, Fero mere mmemme ncheta ọmụmụ ya. Ọ kpọrọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi oriri. O ziri ozi ka a gaa nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta onyeisi ndị na-ebunye ya iko ihe ọṅụṅụ na onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri.
The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
21 O nyeghachiri onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya ọrụ ya, weghachi ya nʼọnọdụ ya. Nwoke a bunyekwara Fero iko ya dịka o si eme na mbụ.
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup;
22 Ma ọ kwụgburu onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri, dịka Josef si kọwaa nrọ ha.
the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
23 Ma onyeisi ndị ahụ na-ebu iko eze echetaghị Josef. O chefuru ya.
And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
