Jenesis 40
1 Mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, onye na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ eze Ijipt na onye na-esiri ya nri mehiere megide nna ha ukwu, eze Ijipt.
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 Nʼihi ya, Fero were iwe megide ndị ozi ya abụọ ndị a, onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya na onye na-esiri ya nri.
And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 O tinyere ha na nga, nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ onyeisi ndị nche, ebe ahụ a tụbara Josef.
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 Onyeisi ndị nche mere Josef onye na-elekọta ha. Ha nọrọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph to be with them, and he ministered unto them; and they continued a season in ward.
5 Ha abụọ, onye ahụ na-esiri eze nri, na onye na-ebu iko eze Ijipt, rọrọ nrọ nʼotu abalị. Nrọ nke onye ọ bụla nwere nkọwa nke ya.
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, who were bound in the prison.
6 Mgbe chi bọrọ, Josef bịakwutere ha hụ na ihu ha gbarụrụ agbarụ.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 Nʼihi ya, ọ jụrụ ndị ozi Fero ndị a ha na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ nna ya ukwu sị ha, “Gịnị mere ihu unu ji gbarụọ taa?”
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his master's house, saying: 'Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?'
8 Ha zara sị ya, “Anyị rọrọ nrọ ọjọọ, ma onye nkọwa ya adịghị.” Josef sịrị ha, “Ọ bụghị Chineke nwee ike ịkọwa nrọ? Kọọrọnụ m ha.”
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 Onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko kọọrọ Josef nrọ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Arọrọ m nrọ hụ osisi vaịnị nʼihu m.
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him: 'In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 Osisi vaịnị a nwere alaka atọ. Mgbe m nọ na-ele anya, osisi vaịnị ahụ mara ifuru, mịpụta mkpụrụ nʼụyọkọ nʼụyọkọ, ha chakwaa.
and in the vine were three branches; and as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes,
11 Ebe ọ bụ nʼiko Fero dị m nʼaka, a ghọọrọ m mkpụrụ vaịnị ndị a, pịpụta mmiri ha pịnye nʼime iko mmanya Fero, bunye ya ka ọ ṅụọ.”
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 Josef sịrị ya, “Nke a bụ ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Alaka atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
And Joseph said unto him: 'This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
13 Nʼime abalị atọ Fero ga-akpọpụta gị, mee ka i nwere onwe gị. Fero ga-enyeghachikwa gị ọrụ gị. Ị ga-etinyekwa Fero iko ya nʼaka dịka i si eme na mbụ mgbe ị bụ onye na-ebu iko ya.
within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy 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 Mgbe ihe gaara gị nke ọma, chetakwa m, ma gosi m obiọma, gwara m Fero ka o si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a wepụta m.
But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
15 Ọ bụ ntọrọ ka atọọrọ m site nʼala ndị Hibru. Nʼotu aka ahụ, nʼebe a ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọjọọ ọ bụla m mere nke kwesiri ka atụnye m nʼụlọ mkpọrọ a.”
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 Mgbe onyeisi ndị na-esiri Fero nri hụrụ na nkọwa nrọ ahụ dị mma, ọ sịrị Josef, “Mụ onwe m, na nrọ m nke m, ebu m nkata achịcha atọ nʼisi.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: 'I also saw in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head;
17 Nkata nke dị nʼelu jupụtara na achịcha dị iche iche e gheere eze, bụ Fero. Ma ụmụ nnụnụ bịara na-eri achịcha ndị ahụ dị na nkata m bụ nʼisi.”
and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.'
18 Josef zara sị ya, “Lee ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Nkata atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
And Joseph answered and said: 'This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
19 Nʼime abalị atọ ka Fero ga-esi nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta gị, nye iwu ka e bepụ gị isi, kwụba gị nʼelu osisi. Ụmụ nnụnụ ga-erichapụ anụ ahụ gị.”
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 Nʼabalị nke atọ, site nʼụbọchị ndị a rọrọ nrọ ha, Fero mere mmemme ncheta ọmụmụ ya. Ọ kpọrọ ndị niile na-ejere ya ozi oriri. O ziri ozi ka a gaa nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpọpụta onyeisi ndị na-ebunye ya iko ihe ọṅụṅụ na onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri.
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 O nyeghachiri onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko ya ọrụ ya, weghachi ya nʼọnọdụ ya. Nwoke a bunyekwara Fero iko ya dịka o si eme na mbụ.
And he restored the chief butler back unto his butlership; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 Ma ọ kwụgburu onyeisi ndị na-esiri ya nri, dịka Josef si kọwaa nrọ ha.
But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Ma onyeisi ndị ahụ na-ebu iko eze echetaghị Josef. O chefuru ya.
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
