Genesis 40
1 Some time later, two of the king of Egypt’s officials did things that displeased him. One was his chief (drink-server/man who prepared the wine and served it to the king), and the other was his chief (baker/man who baked bread for the king).
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.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
A ka riri a Parao ki ana kaitohutohu tokorua, ki te tino kaiwhakainu raua ko te tino kaihanga taro.
3 So he had them put in prison, in the house of the captain of the palace guards. That was the place where Joseph was being kept.
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.
4 The two men were in prison for a long time. And during that time the captain of the palace guards appointed Joseph to be their servant, to take care of their needs.
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.
5 One night while the king’s drink-server and his baker were there in the prison, each of them had a dream. Each dream had a different meaning.
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.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
A, i te taenga o hohepa ki a raua i te ata, ka titiro ia ki a raua, na e pouri ana raua.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
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?
8 One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”
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.
9 So the king’s chief drink-server told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream I saw a grapevine in front of me.
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:
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
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:
11 I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.”
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.
12 [God immediately told Joseph what the dream meant]. So Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of your dream: The three branches of the vine represent three days.
Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ia, Ko tona tikanga tenei: ko aua peka e toru, e toru nga ra:
13 Within three days the king will release you from prison. He will let you do the work that you did before. You will take cups of wine to the king as you did before, when you were his drink-server.
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.
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
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:
15 People took me away forcefully from the land where my fellow Hebrews live. [I did nothing wrong there], and also while I have been here in Egypt, I have done nothing for which I deserved to be put in prison. So be kind to me and tell the king about me, so that he will release me from this prison!”
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.
16 When the chief baker heard that the meaning of the dream of the king’s drink-server was very favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. In the dream I was surprised to see three baskets of bread stacked on my head.
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:
17 In the top basket there were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”
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.
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
Na ka whakahoki a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko tona tikanga tenei: Ko aua kete e toru, e toru nga ra:
19 Within three days the king will command that your head be cut off. Then your body will be hung on a tree, and vultures will come and eat your flesh.”
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.
20 The third day after that was the (king’s birthday/day they celebrated when the king became one year older). On that day the king invited all his officials to celebrate his birthday. During the celebration, while they were all gathered there, the king summoned his chief drink-server and chief baker from the prison.
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.
21 He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
A whakahokia ana e ia te tino kaiwhakainu ki tana mahi whakainu, hei hoatu i te kapu ki te ringa o Parao:
22 But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams.
Ko te tino kaihanga taro ia i whakairihia ake e ia: i peratia me ta Hohepa i whakaatu ai ki a raua.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
Otiia kihai te tino kaiwhakainu i mahara ki a Hohepa; i wareware hoki ki a ia.
