Kenehi 40

1 Na, i muri i enei mea ka hara te kaiwhakainu a te kingi o Ihipa, raua ko tana kaihanga taro, ki to raua ariki, ki te kingi o Ihipa.

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 A ka riri a Parao ki ana kaitohutohu tokorua, ki te tino kaiwhakainu raua ko te tino kaihanga taro.

And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;

3 Na ka homai raua e ia kia puritia ki te whare o te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, ki te whare herehere, ki te wahi i herea ai a Hohepa.

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 A ka meinga a Hohepa e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki hei kaititiro mo raua, a ka mahi ia ki a raua; a ka puritia raua i etahi ra.

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 Na ka moe raua i a raua moe, kotahi ano te po i moemoea ai raua, tetahi, tetahi, me te tikanga ano o tana moe, te kaiwhakainu rau ko te kaihanga taro a te kingi o Ihipa, i herea nei raua i roto i te whare herehere.

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 A, i te taenga o hohepa ki a raua i te ata, ka titiro ia ki a raua, na e pouri ana raua.

And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

7 Na ka ui ia ki aua kaitohutohu a Parao, i puritia tahitia nei me ia i te whare o tona ariki, ka mea, He aha i whakapoururu ai o korua kanohi inaianei?

And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?

8 A ka mea raua ki a ia, I moe maua i tetahi moe, a kahore he kaiwhakaatu i tona tikanga. Na ka mea a Hohepa ki a raua, Ehara ianei te Atua i te kaiwhakaatu? tena, korerotia mai ki ahau.

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 Na ka korerotia e te tino kaiwhakainu tana moe ki a Hohepa, a ka mea ki a ia, Moe iho ahau, na, ko tetahi waina i toku aroaro:

Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;

10 Na e toru nga peka o te waina; a e ahua pihi ana, a ka kohera ona puawai; a e hua ana nga tautau, maoa tonu nga karepe:

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 Na ko te kapu a Parao i toku ringa: a ka mau ahau ki nga karepe, a tauia ana e ahau ki te kapu a Parao, a hoatu ana e ahau te kapu ki te ringa o Parao.

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 Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ia, Ko tona tikanga tenei: ko aua peka e toru, e toru nga ra:

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;

13 Kia toru ake ra ka whakaara ake ai a Parao i tou matenga, ka whakahoki ano i a koe ki tau mahi, a ka hoatu ano e koe te kapu a Parao ki tona ringa, ka pera hoki me mua, i te mea ko koe tana kairiringi waina.

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 Otira kia mahara ki ahau ina pono te pai ki a koe, kia puta ano tou aroha ki ahau, korerotia hoki ahau ki a Parao, kia puta atu ai ahau i tenei whare:

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 I tahaetia putia mai hoki ahau i te whenua o nga Hiperu; a kahore aku mahi i konei i maka ai ahau e ratou ki tenei whare herehere.

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 A, ka kite te tino kaihanga taro he pai te tikanga, ka mea ia ki a Hohepa, Moe iho hoki ahau, na, e toru nga kete taro ma i runga i toku upoko:

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 A i to runga kete ko nga tu ahua kai katoa ma Parao na ko nga manu e kai ana i aua mea i roto i te kete i runga i toku upoko.

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 Na ka whakahoki a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko tona tikanga tenei: Ko aua kete e toru, e toru nga ra:

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;

19 Kia toru ake nga ra, ka tangohia ake e Parao tou upoko i runga i a koe, a ka whakairihia koe ki runga ki te rakau; a ka kainga e nga manu ou kikokiko e piri na ki a koe.

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 A, i te toru o nga ra, i te ra whanau o Parao, na ka tukua e ia he hakari ma ana tangata katoa: a whakaarahia ake ana e ia te matenga o te tino kaiwhakainu, me te matenga o te tino kaihanga taro, i waenganui i ana pononga.

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 A whakahokia ana e ia te tino kaiwhakainu ki tana mahi whakainu, hei hoatu i te kapu ki te ringa o Parao:

And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22 Ko te tino kaihanga taro ia i whakairihia ake e ia: i peratia me ta Hohepa i whakaatu ai ki a raua.

But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.

23 Otiia kihai te tino kaiwhakainu i mahara ki a Hohepa; i wareware hoki ki a ia.

But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.
