1 Sima na mwa tango, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito, basalaki mabe liboso ya nkolo na bango, mokonzi ya Ejipito.
And it cometh to pass, after these things — the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt;
2 Faraon asilikelaki bakalaka na ye mibale ya lokumu: kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa.
and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,
3 Abwakaki bango na boloko kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, boloko epai wapi Jozefi azalaki.
and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,
4 Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi apesaki bango na maboko ya Jozefi mpo ete alandela bango. Boye basalaki mikolo mwa mingi na boloko.
and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge.
5 Ezalaki mokolo moko na butu, bango mibale, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga mpe oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito, balotaki moto na moto ndoto na ye mpe ndoto na ndoto ezalaki na ndimbola na yango.
And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.
6 Na tongo, Jozefi akendeki epai na bango mpe amonaki ete bazali mawa-mawa.
And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they [are] morose;
7 Jozefi atunaki bakalaka ya lokumu ya Faraon, oyo bazalaki kati na boloko elongo na ye, kati na ndako ya nkolo na ye: — Mpo na nini lelo bilongi na bino ezali mawa-mawa?
and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who [are] with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, 'Wherefore [are] your faces sad to-day?'
8 Bazongiselaki ye: — Biso mibale toloti bandoto; kasi moto ya kolimbola yango mpo na biso azali te. Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Boyebi te ete Nzambe nde apesaka ndimbola ya bandoto? Nabondeli bino, boyebisa ngai bandoto na bino.
And they say unto him, 'A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, 'Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'
9 Bongo kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito ayebisaki Jozefi ndoto na ye. Alobaki: — Na ndoto na ngai, namonaki nzete ya vino liboso na ngai.
And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, 'In my dream, then lo, a vine [is] before me!
10 Nzete yango ya vino ezalaki na bitape misato. Bongo ekomaki kobimisa mito, fololo mpe maboke ebimisaki bambuma ya kotela.
and in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;
11 Kopo ya Faraon ezalaki na maboko na ngai. Nazwaki bambuma ya vino, nakamolaki yango na kopo ya Faraon mpe napesaki ye kopo yango na maboko na ye.
and Pharaoh's cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.'
12 Jozefi alobaki na ye: — Tala ndimbola ya ndoto na yo: « Bitape misato ezali mikolo misato.
And Joseph saith to him, 'This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days;
13 Sima na mikolo misato, Faraon akotombola moto na yo mpe akozongisa yo na esika na yo ya mosala. Okotia lisusu kopo ya Faraon na maboko na ye ndenge ozalaki kosala na kala.
yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.
14 Kasi tango makambo nyonso oyo ekotambola malamu mpo na yo, nabondeli yo, kanisa ngai mpe salela ngai bolamu, zala molobeli na ngai epai ya Faraon mpo ete abimisa ngai na boloko oyo.
'Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,
15 Pamba te babimisaki ngai na makasi wuta na mokili ya Ba-Ebre; mpe awa nasali likambo moko te ya mabe mpo ete batia ngai na boloko. »
for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'
16 Tango kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa ya mokonzi ya Ejipito asosolaki ete Jozefi apesaki ndimbola ya malamu, alobaki na Jozefi: — Ngai mpe nalotaki ndoto: « Bitunga misato ya mapa ezalaki likolo ya moto na ngai.
And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, 'I also [am] in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head,
17 Kitunga ya likolo ezalaki na bagato ya ndenge na ndenge, oyo Faraon alingaka; kasi bandeke ezalaki kolia yango wuta na kitunga oyo ezalaki na moto na ngai. »
and in the uppermost basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'
18 Jozefi alobaki na ye: — Tala ndimbola ya ndoto na yo: « Bitunga misato ezali mikolo misato.
And Joseph answereth and saith, 'This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
19 Sima na mikolo misato, Faraon akokata moto na yo mpe akodiembika yo na nzete. Bongo bandeke ekolia mosuni na yo. »
yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.'
20 Sima na mikolo misato, ezalaki mokolo ya mbotama ya Faraon. Faraon asalisaki feti monene mpe abengisaki bakalaka na ye nyonso. Abimisaki na boloko, liboso ya bakalaka na ye, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi mpe kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa.
And it cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,
21 Faraon azongisaki na mosala, kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga. Boye azongelaki lisusu kotia kopo na maboko ya Faraon.
and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;
22 Kasi Faraon adiembikaki kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali mapa, ndenge kaka Jozefi ayebisaki bango.
and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them;
23 Kasi kalaka oyo azalaki kotala makambo oyo etali masanga ya mokonzi ya Ejipito atikalaki kokanisa lisusu Jozefi te: abosanaki ye.
and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him.
