Genesis 40 (CTH)

1Hathnukkhu hoi teh, Izip siangpahrang misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung roi teh Izip siangpahrang koe lungyouk hoeh e lah ao roi.Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2Hatdawkvah, Faro teh a sannaw kahrawikung kacue kahni touh, misur kapoekung kacue hoi vaiyei kasakkungnaw dawk kacuepoung koe a lungphuen.Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3Hottelah ama karingkung Joseph a bonae thongim koe a pabo awh.and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.

4Im karingkung kacue ni ahnimouh teh Joseph kut dawk hnin moikasaw lah a poe teh thaw a tawk roi.The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,

5Thongim thung katek laihoi kaawm roi e Izip siangpahrang misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung roi teh tangmin buet touh dawk mang alouklouke reirei a sak roi.both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.

6A tangtho vah Joseph teh ahnimouh koe a kâen van teh, a kâhmo, hahoi a khet navah a minhmai a mathoe roi.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.

7Hottelah Faro e im karingkung bawipa im e thongim ka bawt e tami koevah, bangkongmaw sahnin na minhmai a mathoe roi telah a pacei.So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”

8Ahnimouh roi ni mang ka sak roi, ka deicaikung apihai awm hoeh telah ati roi. Joseph ni ahni koe mang dei thainae teh Cathut e nahoehmaw. Pahren lahoi na dei pouh haw atipouh.“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”

9Hottelah misur kapoenaw kahrawikung ni a mang teh Joseph koe a dei pouh. Ahni koe ka mang lavah khenhaw! ka hmalah misurkung a la o.So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,

10Misurkung dawkvah a cakang kathum touh ao. Ka dawn e patetlah ao teh, a peinaw hah a pei. Hote a peinaw ni ka hmin e misur paw a tâco sak.and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11Hahoi Faro manang hah ka kut dawk ao teh, misur paw hah ka khi. Faro e manang dawk kasu teh manang hah Faro kut dawk ka poe telah ati.Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”

12Joseph ni ahni koe hettelah han doeh. A cakang kathum touh e teh, hnin thum touh doeh.Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.

13Hnin thum touh thung Faro ni na tawm takhang vaiteh, na tawk e thaw hah bout na tawk sak han. Hottelah misur kapoekung lah na o navah, ouk na poe e patetlah Faro manang hah a kut dawk bout na poe han.Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.

14Hatei, onae hmuen kahawi dawk na pha navah, kai na pahnim hanh lah a. Pahren lahoi na pahrennae hah kai koehai kamnuek sak. Faro koe kaie konglam na dei pouh van lah a, hete im dawk hoi na tâcawt sak van loe.But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.

15Bangtelah tetpawiteh, Hebru taminaw e ram thung hoi tami ni arulahoi na paru awh e doeh. Hete ram thung dawk hoi thongim thung a thung patuen lah bo nahan hai banghai ka sak hoeh ei nan heh ma telah ati.For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”

16Vaiyei ka sak e ni hete deicainae hah ahawi tie a panue toteh, Joseph koevah, kai hai mang ka sak van. Khenhaw! ka lû dawk ka pangaw e takho yung thum touh ao.When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.

17Avanlah kabang e takho dawk, Faro hanlah kahawi e vaiyei phunkuep ao. Hahoi ka lû dawk ka thueng e takho dawk e vaiyei hah tava ni a la ca telah ati.In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”

18Joseph ni, takho yung thum touh teh hnin thum touh doeh,Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

19Hnin thum touh thung Faro ni na lû tâtueng vaiteh, thing dawk bang e lah na o han. Hahoi tavanaw ni na moi hah a ca han telah ati.Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”

20Hahoi, apâthum hnin Faro khenae hnin a pha toteh, ahni ni a sannaw pueng hanelah buvennae pawi a sak pouh. Hahoi misur kapoekung hoi vaiyei kasakkung naw e lû teh, a tawmrasang.On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

21Joseph ni ahnimouh koe a deicai pouh e patetlah misur kapoekung teh amae tawk tangcoung e misur hah bout a poe teh, Faro kut dawk manang hai bout a poe.Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22Vaiyei kasakkung teh thing dawk a vo awh.But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.

23Hatei, misurtui kapoenaw kahrawikung ni Joseph hah panuek laipalah yout a pahnim.The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
