1 Mose 40
1 Mmerɛ tiawa bi akyiri no, ɛbaa sɛ Misraimhene Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin ne ne burodotofoɔ panin fom no.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Farao bo fuu ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no ne ne burodotofoɔ panin no yie.
And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 Enti, ɔde wɔn too afiase wɔ ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar no fie, baabi korɔ no ara a wɔde Yosef kɔtoeɛ hɔ.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 Ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar de wɔn hyɛɛ Yosef nsa sɛ, ɔnhwɛ na ɔnyɛ deɛ ɛhia wɔn nyinaa mma wɔn. Wɔdaa afiase hɔ kyɛɛ kakraa no,
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward.
5 nnipa baanu no nyinaa a na wɔyɛ ɔhene Farao burodotofoɔ panin ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin a na wɔgu afiase hɔ no sosoo daeɛ anadwo korɔ no ara. Na saa daeɛ mmienu no mu biara wɔ ne nkyerɛaseɛ.
And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
6 Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Yosef baa nneduafoɔ baanu no nkyɛn no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa ayeyɛ mosomosoo.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 Enti, ɔbisaa Farao fie mpanimfoɔ nneduafoɔ a na wɔne no gu afiase hɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛnnɛ deɛ, mo werɛ aho mo ho sɛɛ?”
And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in ward in his master’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
8 Nneduafoɔ no buaa Yosef sɛ, “Anadwo yi, yɛn baanu nyinaa sosoo daeɛ, nanso yɛnnya obiara wɔ ha nkyerɛ yɛn aseɛ.” Yosef nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔkyerɛ daeɛ ase deɛ, nanso monka mo daeɛ a mososoeɛ no nkyerɛ me.”
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.
9 Enti, Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no dii ɛkan kaa ne daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ no kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me daeɛ mu no, mehunuu bobe dua.
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 Na saa bobe dua no apan mman mmiɛnsa. Ɛguu nhyerɛnne, hyehyɛeɛ, nyiniiɛ, yɛɛ siaka bereeɛ.
and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
11 Na mekura ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa. Metetee bobe aba no, kyikyi guu ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa no mu, de maa no sɛ ɔnnom.”
and Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
12 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin deduani no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ no ase nie: mman mmiɛnsa a wohunuiɛ no kyerɛ nnansa.
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
13 Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛyi wo, ama woakɔdi wo dibea sɛ ɔhene nsãhyɛfoɔ panin. Na wode Farao kuruwa bɛhyɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ na woyɛ no kane no.
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14 Na sɛ ɛsi wo yie a, kae me. Mesrɛ wo, ɛyɛ a, ka me ho asɛm kyerɛ ɔhene Farao, na ɔmma wɔmmɛyi me mfiri afiase ha.
But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15 Ɛfiri sɛ, nokorɛ ni, manyɛ bɔne biara na wɔkyeree me firii me manfoɔ Hebrifoɔ asase so de mebaa ha. Na ɛha nso mpo a meda yi, manyɛ afɔdisɛm biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgyina so de me to afiase.”
for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 Ɛberɛ a burodotofoɔ panin deduani no hunuu sɛ Yosef akyerɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no daeɛ no ase, ama atɔ asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me nso, mesoo daeɛ bi. Me daeɛ no mu, na mesoso nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa a burodo gugu mu.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:
17 Kɛntɛn a ɛsi ɛsoro pɛɛ no, na nnuane ahodoɔ a wɔato a mede rekɔma Farao gu mu a na nnomaa sisi aduane no so wɔ mʼatifi, redi.”
and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ a wosoeɛ no asekyerɛ ni. Nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa no gyina hɔ ma nnansa.
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
19 Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛma wɔabɛyi wo afiri afiase ha, atwa wo ti, de wo kuntunsini no akɔsɛn dua so, ama nnomaa asosɔ wo ɛnam.”
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 Ne nnansa so no, na Farao redi nʼawoda. Enti, ɔtoo ɛpono kɛseɛ bi maa ne mpanimfoɔ ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa. Ɔsoma ma wɔkɔyii ne burodotofoɔ panin ne ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin nneduafoɔ no firii afiase hɔ baa nʼanim.
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 Ɔhene Farao sane de ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no sii ne siberɛ, ma ɔhyɛɛ ɔhene Farao nsã.
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
22 Nanso, ne burodotofoɔ panin no deɛ, Farao ma wɔkɔsɛn no sɛdeɛ Yosef kyerɛɛ ne daeɛ no ase kyerɛɛ no no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no nso werɛ firii Yosef a wankae no koraa.
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
