Olubereberye 40
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo omusenero wa kabaka w’e Misiri wamu n’omukulu wa bafumbi be ne banyiiza mukama waabwe kabaka w’e Misiri.
Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;
2 Falaawo n’asunguwalira nnyo abakungu be abo: omusenero n’omukulu w’abafumbi,
And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;
3 n’abawaayo mu mikono gy’omukulu w’ekkomera, Yusufu mwe yali.
And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.
4 Omukulu w’ekkomera n’abawa Yusufu okubakuuma, n’abalabirira, ne babeera mu kkomera.
And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.
5 Naye ekiro kimu omusenero n’omukulu wa bafumbi aba kabaka w’e Misiri abaali mu kkomera ne baloota, buli omu ekirooto kye, era nga buli kimu kirina amakulu gaakyo.
And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.
6 Yusufu bwe yajja gye bali ku makya, n’abalaba nga beeraliikirivu.
And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.
7 N’alyoka abuuza abakungu ba Falaawo abaali naye mu kkomera, mu nnyumba ya mukama waabwe nti, “Lwaki leero mulabika nga mweraliikiridde?”
And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?
8 Ne bamuddamu nti, “Twaloose ebirooto, naye tewali wa kubivvuunula.” Awo Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Katonda y’abivvuunula. Kale mbasaba mubimbuulire.”
Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?
9 Awo omusenero n’ategeeza Yusufu ekirooto kye n’agamba nti, “Nalabye omuti omutiini mu kirooto.
Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;
10 Ku mutiini nga kuliko amatabi asatu, gwabadde gwakatojjera ne gumulisa, ebirimba ne bibaako zabbibu ennyengevu.
And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.
11 Nga nkute ekikopo kya Falaawo mu ngalo zange, ne nzirira zabbibu ne nzikamulira mu kikopo kya Falaawo, ne nkimukwasa.”
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 Yusufu n’alyoka amugamba nti, “Gano ge makulu gaakyo: amatabi asatu, ze nnaku esatu;
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;
13 mu nnaku ssatu Falaawo alikuggya mu kkomera n’akuzza mu kifo kyo, era olimukwasa ekikopo nga bwe wakolanga edda ng’oli musenero we.
After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.
14 Kyokka onzijukiranga ng’otuuse mu maaso ga Falaawo, onzijukiranga n’onjogerako gy’ali nkwegayiridde, alyoke anzigye mu kkomera.
But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:
15 Kubanga ddala naggyibwa buggyibwa mu nsi y’Abaebulaniya; ate na wano sirina kye nakola kinsaanyiza kuteekebwa mu kkomera.”
For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.
16 Omukulu w’abafumbi ba Falaawo bwe yalaba ng’amakulu g’ekirooto ky’oli gaali malungi, n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Nange naloose ekirooto: nga neetisse ku mutwe ebibbo by’emigaati bisatu.
Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
17 Mu kibbo ekyokusatu mwabaddemu buli ngeri ya mmere enjokye eya Falaawo. Kyokka ng’ennyonyi zigiriira ku mutwe gwange.”
And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.
18 Awo Yusufu n’amuddamu nti, “Gano ge makulu gaakyo: ebibbo ebisatu z’ennaku ssatu;
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;
19 bwe wanaayitawo ennaku ssatu Falaawo ajja kukutemako omutwe, akuwanike ku muti, omulambo gwo guliibwe ebinyonyi.”
After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.
20 Ku lunaku olwokusatu, lwali lunaku lwa mazaalibwa ga Falaawo, n’akolera abaweereza be bonna embaga, n’atumya omusenero n’omukulu w’abafumbi.
Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.
21 Omusenero n’amuzza ku mulimu gwe, n’atandika okuweereza Falaawo,
And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 kyokka ye omukulu w’abafumbi n’amuwanika ku muti, nga Yusufu bwe yavvuunula ebirooto byabwe.
But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.
23 Naye omusenero n’atajjukira Yusufu n’amwerabira n’atamussaako mwoyo.
But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.
