Genesis 40 (JUM)

1Aŋ ääŋkalaŋ ti wääna nääŋkä yaakki baakkene kä ye, i wiñ yen lijoni määk yen yätkä mä Macïr ke wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï yeene nääŋkä yili mügdo yeenen yätkä yen mä Macïr ti.Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2Aŋ Parahuun pennä ḍuuŋku yeeke yaaka kä yewwe yaakka ti, wiñ yen lijo määk ke wiñ yen pamdo bïggï,Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3aŋ iken icce gaŋgar jï än ḍuuŋgon yen tïïconi nänṭ'a tïïcene Yuucip ye.and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.

4Aŋ ḍuuŋgon yen tïïconi Yuucip ḍoocce a m'ana tïïcï iken ye. Aŋ cäygin gaŋgar jï nïïnkä kä ḍeewaŋ.The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,

5Aŋ wïïrïn jïñe kalaŋ ti gaŋgar jï, lijo määk ke pamdo bïggï yek yätkä yen mä Macïr läkkä muuṭuk, aŋ lääggï cääyge ŋüüllen gïtï päkkit.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.

6Aŋ wääna Yuucip äätene iken ti kä tïṇṇäŋänä ye, yoorre juuggin yejgaŋ.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.

7Aŋ ḍuuŋku yek Parahuun yaaka ke ike gaŋgar jï ye, tääckene ti ogo, “Ikee nüüje ina aŋŋi tiññaŋ?”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?”

8Aŋ iken luukcin ogo, “Ikoon läkkon lääggï aŋ baati m'ana ikoon ŋüülgon gïtï ye.” Aŋ luugi Yuucip ogo, “Ŋüüllü gïtï lääggï batta äätïdï Jooŋ ti halla? Päkka kä.”“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.”

9Aŋ wiñ yen lijoni määk lääggï yeeke päkkene Yuucip ogo, “Lääggï yeeki ti, ika yuṭṭu jaan beel bata lüütkon meen ñomi ti,So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,

10aŋ jaan meen cääyge kimke kä ḍäk. Aŋ kä ḍeeraŋ aŋŋi ŋiimmin aŋ päwnä gïtï, aŋ ṭulge eggin.and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11Aŋ ḍonṭule Parahuun cääy ïṇtï ti, aŋ ṭulge koownu aŋ taañjänä ḍonṭule Parahuun jï, aŋ ḍonṭule ḍooccu Parahuun ïṇte ti.”Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”

12Aŋ Yuucip jaajjin ogo, “Lääggï yaakki nüütï ogo aŋŋi, kimkä kä ḍäk a nïïnkä kä ḍäk.Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.

13Aŋ nïïnkä kä ḍäk Parahuun wïñü bi ääre ñaalok, aŋ ïkï bi ḍuukey nänṭä ñuugula yüünü ti, aŋ ḍonṭule Parahuun bi iñjeeda kä ïṇte ti, bata wääna agii kä lijo määk ina.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.

14Aŋ kura paydaa naana wakkä attä ṭeṭaŋ ke ïkï ye, aŋ kura ŋerci ïñï kä päjgin ŋïngïn Parahuun kä ika. Aŋ yüükkaa ti dalä ika kääjä woo gaŋgar jï.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.

15Ika müügana me kä tïññä ŋommañ mä Iburu ti, aŋ cäänna Macïr winni ika batta agä näŋon ginkalaŋ yaana päjjïdï ḍooca me gaŋgar jï ye.”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.”

16Aŋ wääna wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï yuṭṭee kä ŋüüllü gïtï ŋeraŋ ye, ike Yuucip kiinne ogo, “Ika cäänna daa cääyga lääggï, ika äddä arwalli wiñi ti kä ḍäk yek bïggï.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.

17Aŋ arwal yaana meken witken ti yaanna cääyge jï biilkä bïggï ŋerken yaaka a pämgïnï Parahuun ye, aŋ amgä ḍïïrgä arwal jï wiñi ti.”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.”

18Aŋ luugi Yuucip ogo, “Lääggï yaakki nüütï ogo aŋŋi, arwalli kä ḍäk a nïïnkä kä ḍäk.Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

19Aŋ nïïnkä kä ḍäk Parahuun wïñü bi ŋülje woo, aŋ ïkï bi ŋaapey kä jaan aŋ yäŋgü bi amgä ḍïïrgä.”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.”

20Aŋ wääna nïïnkä kä ḍäk ḍakkene ye, i äŋ jïñe jon ñamme yen giidä Parahuun ti, ike näŋŋä ammani jon ñamme näŋgene ḍuuŋkulen yeeke muure, aŋ ike wiñ yen lijoni määk bärkene ke wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï aŋ äbene ḍuuŋkulen yeeke ñomgen ti.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.

21Aŋ ike wiñ yen lijoni määk ḍuukke nänṭä yeene ti, aŋ ike ŋuca ḍolle ḍoocce Parahuun ïṇte ti.Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22Aŋ wiñ yen pamdoni bïggï aŋ ŋaappe ñaalok kä jaan bata yaana daa kiinene daa kä Yuucip ye.But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.

23Aŋ wiñ yen lijoni määk Yuucip batta payde aŋ wiirre.The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
