MKW
Na manima ya mambu yina, mfumu yina vwandaka na kisalu ya kutudilaka ntinu malafu, na mfumu yina vwandaka na kisalu ya kuyokilaka ntinu mampa, bawu salaka disumu na mantwala ya Mfumu ya bawu, ntinu ya Ngipiti.
BSB
BSB:
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2
MKW
Falawo, ntinu ya Ngipiti, dasukilaka bawu zole.
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3
MKW
Yandi kangisaka bawu mpe yandi tulaka bawu na boloko yina vwandaka twadisa kuluntu ya boloko. Ni na kati ya boloko yina vwandaka mpe Yosefi.
BSB
BSB:
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4
MKW
Mfumu ya boloko pesaka bawu Yosefi mutindu kisadi, samu na kusadilaka bawu. Bawu zingilaka mwa mingi na boloko.
BSB
BSB:
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5
MKW
Kilumbu mosi na mpimpa, kuna na boloko, kuluntu yina ke tadilaka malafu ya ntinu mpe kuluntu ya bantu yina ke yokaka mampa ya ntinu ya Ngipiti, bawu zole lotaka bandosi. Ndosi na ndosi vwandaka na mbangululu ya yawu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
6
MKW
Na suka, Yosefi kwizaka tala bawu, mpe yandi kutaka bawu na kati ya manyongo.
BSB
BSB:
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7
MKW
Yandi yufulaka bawu: «Samu na yinki beno kele ve ya kuyangalala bubu yayi?»
BSB
BSB:
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?”
8
MKW
Bawu vutulaka: «Mosi na mosi na beto me kuzwa ndosi, kasi muntu kele ve, yina ke bangudila beto yawu.» Yosefi vutulaka na bawu: «Kaka ni Nzambi lenda kubangula bandosi. Mu me lomba na beno na kuzonzila munu bandosi ya beno.»
BSB
BSB:
“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.”
9
MKW
Kuluntu yina ke tadilaka mambu ya malafu zabisaka ndosi ya yandi na Yosefi. Yandi tubaka mutindu yayi: «Na ndosi ya munu, mu talaka yinti ya vinu vwandaka na mantwala ya munu.
BSB
BSB:
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10
MKW
Yinti yina vwandaka na bintala tatu. Yina basisaka makasa ya malu-malu, bifulu ya yawu basikaka, mpe yawu butaka bambuma ya vinu ya mbwaki.
BSB
BSB:
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11
MKW
Mu vwandaka na mbungu ya Falawo na diboko. Mu bukaka bambuma ya vinu, mu kamunaka yawu na kati ya mbungu, mpe mu pesaka yawu na Falawo.»
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12
MKW
Yosefi vutulaka na yandi: «Bangululu ya ndosi ya nge yawu yayi: Bintala tatu ke na kulakisa bilumbu tatu.
BSB
BSB:
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
13
MKW
Na manima ya bilumbu tatu, Falawo ke vumbula yintu ya nge. Yandi ke vutula nge na kisalu ya nge, mpe nge ke banda na kupesaka dyaka yandi mbungu na diboko, mutindu nge vwandaka sala yawu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
14
MKW
Ntangu mambu nyonso ke vwanda mbote samu na nge, bambuka moyo ti mu vwandaka na nge. Sadisa munu na kuzonzila munu na Falawo, samu ti yandi basisa munu na boloko yayi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
15
MKW
Ba katulaka munu na ngolo na yinsi ya ba-Ebeleyo, mpe awa mu me sala dyambu ya yimbi ve samu ti ba tula munu na boloko.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
16
MKW
Ntangu mfumu ya bantu yina ke yokaka mampa kuwaka ti mbangululu ya ndosi yina Yosefi pesaka, vwandaka ya mbote samu na mpangi ya yandi, yandi tubaka na Yosefi: «Munu mpe mu lotaka mutindu yayi: mu vwandaka nata bitunga tatu ya mampa na zulu ya yintu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
17
MKW
Kitunga ya zulu vwandaka na mampa ya mutindu na mutindu yina Falawo ke zolaka, kasi bandeke vwandaka kwiza kudya yawu na kati ya kitunga, na zulu ya yintu ya munu.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
18
MKW
Yosefi vutulaka na yandi: «Bangululu ya ndosi ya nge yawu yayi: bitunga tatu ke na kulakisa bilumbu tatu.
BSB
BSB:
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19
MKW
Na manima ya bilumbu tatu, Falawo ke katula yintu ya nge na nzutu. Ba ke ledika nzutu ya nge na yinti, mpe bandeke ke kwiza doda yawu.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
20
MKW
Bilumbu tatu lutaka, Falawo sadisaka mukembo ya mbutukulu ya yandi. Yandi salaka mukembo ya nene, yandi bokilaka bantu nyonso yina ke salaka na yandi. Na mantwala ya bawu, yandi basisaka mfumu yina ke tadilaka mambu ya malafu na mfumu yina ke tadilaka mambu ya kulamba mampa.
BSB
BSB:
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.
21
MKW
Yandi vutulaka mfumu ya malafu na kisalu ya yandi, samu na kupesaka dyaka Falawo mbungu na maboko.
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22
MKW
Kasi yandi ledikaka mfumu ya bantu yina ke yokaka mampa. Yawu salamaka mutindu Yosefi bangulaka.
BSB
BSB:
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23
MKW
Kasi, mfumu ya malafu bambukilaka Yosefi moyo ve, mpe zimbanaka yandi.
BSB
BSB:
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
