Kenehi 40
1 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.
While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
2 A ka riri a Parao ki ana kaitohutohu tokorua, ki te tino kaiwhakainu raua ko te tino kaihanga taro.
And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
3 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.
sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
4 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.
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
5 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.
And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
6 A, i te taenga o hohepa ki a raua i te ata, ka titiro ia ki a raua, na e pouri ana raua.
And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
7 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?
he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
8 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.
They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
9 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:
The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
10 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:
on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
11 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.
And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
12 Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ia, Ko tona tikanga tenei: ko aua peka e toru, e toru nga ra:
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
13 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.
after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
14 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:
Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.
15 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.
For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”
16 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:
The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head,
17 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.
and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
18 Na ka whakahoki a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko tona tikanga tenei: Ko aua kete e toru, e toru nga ra:
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
19 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.
after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
20 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.
The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
21 A whakahokia ana e ia te tino kaiwhakainu ki tana mahi whakainu, hei hoatu i te kapu ki te ringa o Parao:
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup;
22 Ko te tino kaihanga taro ia i whakairihia ake e ia: i peratia me ta Hohepa i whakaatu ai ki a raua.
the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
23 Otiia kihai te tino kaiwhakainu i mahara ki a Hohepa; i wareware hoki ki a ia.
And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
