Mwanzo 40
1 Ikawa baada ya mambo haya, mnyweshaji wa mfalme wa Misri na mwokaji wa mfalime walimkosa bwana wao, mfalme wa Misri.
It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 Farao akawakasirikia hawa maafsa wawili, mkuu wa wanyweshaji na mkuu wa waokaji.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
3 Akawaweka katika lindo katika nyumba ya kapteni wa walinzi, katika gereza lile Yusufu alimofungwa.
So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
4 Kapteni wa walinzi akamweka Yusufu kuwa mtumishi wao. Walikaa kifungoni kwa muda fulani.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
5 Wote wakaota ndoto - mnyweshaji na mwokaji wa mfalme wa Misri waliokuwa wamefungwa gerezani - kila mmoja akaota ndoto usiku huo huo, na kila ndoto ilikuwa na tafsiri yake.
And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 Yusufu akaja kwao asubuhi na kuwaona. Tazama, walikuwa na uzuni.
Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
7 Akawauliza maafsa wa Farao waliokuwa pamoja naye kifungoni katika nyumba ya bwana wake, kusema, “Kwa nini leo mnaoneka wenye uzuni?”
He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
8 Wakamwambia, Sisi wote tumeota ndoto na hakuna wakuitafsiri.” Yusufu akawambia, “Je tafsiri haitoki kwa Mungu? Niambieni, tafadhari.”
They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
9 Mkuu wa wanyweshaji akamwambia Yusufu ndoto yake. Akamwambia, “Katika ndoto yangu, tazama, kulikuwa na mzabibu mbele yangu.
The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
10 Na kulikuwa na matawi matatu katika mzabibu huo. Ulipochipua, ukachanua maua na kuzaa vichala vya zabibu.
and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 Kikombe cha Farao kilikuwa mkononi mwangu. Nikachukua zabibu na kuzikamua katika kikombe cha Farao, na kukiweka kikombe katika mkono wa Farao.”
Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
12 Yusufu akamwambia, “Tafsiri yake ni hii. Yale matawi matatu ni siku tatu.
Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
13 Ndani ya siku tatu Farao atakiinua kichwa chako na kukurudisha katika nafasi yako. Utakiweka kikombe cha Farao katika mkono wake, kama ulivyokuwa ulipokuwa mnyweshaji wake.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
14 Lakini unikumbuke ukifanikiwa, na unionesha wema. Unitaje kwa Farao na kuniondoa hapa gerezani.
But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
15 Maana hakika nilitekwa kutoka katika nchi ya Waebrania. Na hapa sijafanya chochote kinachonipasa niwekwe gerezani.”
For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
16 Mkuu wa waokaji alipoona kwamba tafsiri ilikuwa ya kuvutia, akamwambia Yusufu, “Mimi pia niliota ndoto, na tazama, vikapu vitatu vya mikate vilikuwa juu ya kichwa changu.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 Katika kikapu cha juu kulikuwa na kila aina za bidhaa ya kuokwa kwa Farao, lakini ndege wakavila ndani ya kikapu juu ya kichwa changu.”
In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
18 Yusufu akajibu na kusema, “Tafsiri ni hii. Vikapu vitatu ni siku tatu.
Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
19 Ndani ya siku tatu Fareao atakiinua kichwa chako kutoka kwako na atakutundika juu ya mtu. Ndege watakula mwili wako.”
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
20 Ikawa siku ya tatu ambayo ilikuwa ni siku ya kuzaliwa kwa Farao. Akafanya sherehe kwa watumishi wake wote. “Akakiinua juu” kichwa cha mkuu wa wanyweshaji na kichwa cha mkuu wa waokaji, kati ya watumishi wake.
And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 Akamrudisha mkuu wa wanyweshaji katika majukumu yake, na akakiweka tena kikombe katika mkono wa Farao.
He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
22 Lakini akamtundika mkuu wa waokaji, kama Yusufu alivyokuwa amewatafsiria.
but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Hata hivyo mkuu wa wanyweshaji hakukumbuka kumsaidia Yusufu. Badala yake, alimsahau.
But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
