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.
After these things, 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.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
3 O tinyere ha na nga, nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị nʼụlọ onyeisi ndị nche, ebe ahụ a tụbara Josef.
He put them in custody 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.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
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.
They both dreamt a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer 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.
Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that 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?”
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 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.”
They said to him, “We have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
9 Onyeisi ndị na-ebu iko kọọrọ Josef nrọ ya. Ọ sịrị ya, “Arọrọ m nrọ hụ osisi vaịnị nʼihu m.
The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of 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. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced 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.”
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.
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: 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 three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.
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 remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to 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 I have 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 to Joseph, “I also was 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.”
In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Josef zara sị ya, “Lee ihe nrọ gị pụtara. Nkata atọ ahụ bụ abalị atọ.
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. 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 three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”
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.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker amongst 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.
He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, 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 the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.
