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.
And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
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 was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
3 O tinyere ha na nga, nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ onyeisi ndị nche, ebe ahụ a tụbara Josef.
and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4 Onyeisi ndị nche mere Josef onye na-elekọta ha. Ha nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days 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 dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
6 Mgbe chi bọrọ, Josef bịakwutere ha hụ na ihu ha gbarụrụ agbarụ.
And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were 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?”
And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
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.”
And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
9 Onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko kọọrọ Josef nrọ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Arọrọ m nrọ hụ osisi vaịnị nʼihu m.
Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 Osisi vaịnị a nwere alaka atọ. Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, osisi vaịnị ahụ mara ifuru, mịpụta mkpụrụ nʼụyọkọ nʼụyọkọ, ha chakwaa.
and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened 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 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 Josef sịrị ya, “Nke a bụ ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Alaka atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are 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.
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
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 bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
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 indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
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.
And when the chief of the bakers 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 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 the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
18 Josef zara sị ya, “Lee ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Nkata atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are 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.”
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
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.
And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
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 chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 Ma ọ kwụgburu onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri, dịka Josef si kọwaa nrọ ha.
And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Ma onyeisi ndị ahụ na-ebu iko eze echetaghị Josef. O chefuru ya.
But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
