Genesisi 40
1 Shure kwaizvozvo, mudiri nomubiki wamambo weIjipiti vakatadzira tenzi wavo, mambo weIjipiti.
Later on the cupbearer and the baker committed some offense against their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Faro akatsamwira varanda vake vaviri, mudiri mukuru nomubiki mukuru,
Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker—
3 akaita kuti vachengetwe mumba yomukuru wavarindi, mutorongo rimwe chetero makanga makapfigirwa Josefa.
and imprisoned them in the house of the commander of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was.
4 Mukuru wavarindi akavatumira kuna Josefa, akavachengeta uye vakava muchitokisi kwechinguva.
The commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant. They were kept in prison for some time.
5 Vose vari vaviri vakarota hope, mudiri nomubiki wamambo weIjipiti, avo vakanga vakabatwa vari mutorongo, vakarota usiku humwe chetehwo, uye kurota kumwe nokumwe kwakanga kune zvakunoreva.
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 Josefa akati auya kwavari mangwanani akatevera, akaona kuti vakanga vakasurukirwa.
When Joseph arrived the next morning he noticed they both looked depressed.
7 Saka akabvunza varanda vaFaro vakanga vari muchitokisi naye mumba matenzi wake akati, “Seiko nhasi zviso zvenyu zvichipunyaira kudai?”
So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?”
8 Vakapindura vakati, “Tose tiri vaviri tarota hope, asi hakuna munhu angadzidudzira.” Ipapo Josefa akati kwavari, “Ko, kududzira hakuzi kwaMwari here? Ndiudzei kurota kwenyu.”
“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 Saka mudiri mukuru akataurira Josefa kurota kwake. Akati kwaari, “Mukurota kwangu ndaona muzambiringa pamberi pangu,
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. “In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,” he explained.
10 uye mumuzambiringa manga mune matavi matatu. Wati uchangobuka, waita maruva, uye masumbu awo aibva akava mazambiringa.
“The vine had three branches. As soon as it budded, it flowered, and produced clusters of ripe grapes.
11 Mukombe waFaro wanga uri muruoko rwangu, uye ndatora mazambiringa, ndikaasvinira mumukombe waFaro uye ndikaisa mukombe muruoko rwake.”
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.”
12 Josefa akati kwavari, “Uku ndiko kududzirwa kwadzo. Matavi matatu ndiwo mazuva matatu.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent three days.
13 Mukati mamazuva matatu, Faro achasimudza musoro wako agokudzosera pabasa rako, uye uchaisa mukombe waFaro muruoko rwake, sezvawaisimboita pawakanga uri mudiri wake.
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 Asi pazvinenge zvakunakira iwe, undirangarire uye undiitirewo ngoni; undireverere kuna Faro kuti ndigobudiswa mutorongo rino.
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 Nokuti ndakatorwa nokumanikidzwa kubva kunyika yavaHebheru, kunyange pano handina kuita chinhu chakafanira kuti ndipinzwe mugomba rino.”
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 Mubiki mukuru akati aona kuti Josefa akanga apa dudziro yakanaka, akati kuna Josefa, “Neniwo ndarota hope. Pamusoro pangu panga pane matengu matatu echingwa.
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 Mudengu rapamusoro manga mune mhando dzose dzezvinhu zvakabikwa zvaFaro, asi shiri dzanga dzichidya kubva mudengu ranga riri pamusoro pangu.”
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 Josefa akati, “Uku ndiko kududzirwa kwazvo. Matengu matatu ndiwo mazuva matatu.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent three days.
19 Mukati mamazuva matatu, Faro achasimudza musoro wako kubva pauri agokuturika pamuti. Uye shiri dzichadya nyama yako.”
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.”
20 Zvino zuva rechitatu rakanga riri zuva rokuzvarwa kwaFaro, uye akaitira varanda vake vose mutambo. Akasimudza misoro yavaranda vake vaiti mudiri mukuru nomubiki mukuru pamberi pavaranda vake.
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 Akadzosera mudiri mukuru pabasa rake, zvokuti akaisazve mukombe muruoko rwaFaro,
He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup.
22 asi akaturika mubiki mukuru pamuti, sezvazvakanga zvataurwa naJosefa kwavari mukududzira kwake.
But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams.
23 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, mudiri mukuru haana kurangarira Josefa; akamukanganwa.
But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
