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.
Later on the cupbearer and the baker committed some offense against their master, the king of Egypt.
2 A ka riri a Parao ki ana kaitohutohu tokorua, ki te tino kaiwhakainu raua ko te tino kaihanga taro.
Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker—
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 imprisoned them in the house of the commander of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was.
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.
The commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant. 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.
One night while they were in prison the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning.
6 A, i te taenga o hohepa ki a raua i te ata, ka titiro ia ki a raua, na e pouri ana raua.
When Joseph arrived the next morning he noticed they both looked depressed.
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?
So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?”
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.
“We've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? Tell me your dreams.”
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:
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. “In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,” he explained.
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:
“The vine had three branches. As soon as it budded, it flowered, and produced clusters of ripe grapes.
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.
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.”
12 Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ia, Ko tona tikanga tenei: ko aua peka e toru, e toru nga ra:
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent 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.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to.
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 when things go well for you, please remember me with kindness and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and please 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.
I was cruelly kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in this pit even though I've done nothing wrong.”
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:
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was positive, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. I had three baskets of cakes 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.
In the top basket were all the cakes and pastries for Pharaoh to eat, and the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.”
18 Na ka whakahoki a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko tona tikanga tenei: Ko aua kete e toru, e toru nga ra:
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent 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.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.”
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.
Three days later it happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, and he arranged a banquet for all his officials. He had the chief cupbearer and the chief baker released from prison and brought there before his officials.
21 A whakahokia ana e ia te tino kaiwhakainu ki tana mahi whakainu, hei hoatu i te kapu ki te ringa o Parao:
He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup.
22 Ko te tino kaihanga taro ia i whakairihia ake e ia: i peratia me ta Hohepa i whakaatu ai ki a raua.
But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams.
23 Otiia kihai te tino kaiwhakainu i mahara ki a Hohepa; i wareware hoki ki a ia.
But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
