Genesis 40 (MSY2020)

1Egha mong dughiar ruarimɨn ikegha, gumazir atrivimɨn dɨpenimɨn wainɨn garim, ko atrivimɨn bretɨn ingarir gumazir dapanim, aning Isipɨn atrivim bar ifongezir puvatɨzir arazir kuram gami.Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.

2Ezɨ Isipɨn atrivim uan ingangarir gumazir kamning adarim aningɨn iti,Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,

3egha aning isa kalabus gatɨ. Kalabusɨn dɨpenir kam, kar atrivimɨn mɨdorozir gumazibar garir gumazir dapanimɨn dɨpenim. Ezɨ kalabusɨn dɨpenir kamra me faragha Josep isava a gatɨ.and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.

4Ezɨ mɨdorozir gumazibar dapanim aningɨn akurvaghasa Josep ginaba. Ezɨ aning bar dughiar ruarimɨn kalabusɨn iti.The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,

5Egha dɨmagarir mam, gumazir atrivimɨn wain ko bretɨn garimning, aning irebamningɨn gani. Ezɨ irebamning uaghara ghuzir puvatɨgha, magh garir puvatɨ.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.

6Ezɨ mɨzarazimɨn Josep ghua aningɨn garima, aning bar oseme.When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.

7Ezɨ a kamagh aningɨn azara, “Bizir tizim gua gamima, guan navimning bar oseme?”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?”

8Ezɨ aning kamaghɨn Josepɨn akam ikaragha ghaze, “Ga irebamningɨn gani. Ezɨ gumazir gan irebamningɨn mɨngarim abɨghamba puvatɨ.” Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn aning mɨgei, “God uabɨra a irebabar mɨngaribar en akakasi. Ezɨ gua uan irebamningɨn gun na mɨkɨm.”“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.”

9Ezɨ atrivimɨn wainɨn garir gumazim uan irebamɨn gun Josep mɨgɨa ghaze, “Nan irebamɨn, kɨ wainɨn ikarɨzimɨn gani.So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,

10Ezɨ ikarɨzir kam agharir 3pla iti. Ezɨ an dafariba zuamɨra murima, an akɨmariba zuamɨrama otifi, ezɨ wainɨn ovɨziba otivigha bar moghɨrama ani.and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.

11Kɨ Isipɨn atrivimɨn kavɨn suiraghav ikia, wainɨn ovɨzir kaba inigha uan dafarir mamɨn da munubi, ezɨ dar dɨpam kap giraghuezɨ, kɨ a isa atrivim ganɨngi.”Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”

12Ezɨ Josep ghaze, “Nɨn irebamɨn mɨngarim kamakɨn. Ikarɨzir agharir 3pla, da dughiar 3plan ababanim.Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.

13Dughiar 3pla gɨvaghtɨ atrivim ua nɨ inigh mangam. Egh ua nɨ isɨ nɨn ingangarim darɨgham. Eghtɨ nɨ fomɨra wainɨn kap a ganɨga ingarizɨ moghɨn, nɨ uam a danɨngam.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.

14Egh nɨ mangɨ nɨn dabirabim deraghtɨ, nɨ na ginɨrɨgh. Kɨ nɨn azai, nɨ nan apangkuvigh nan akuragh nan ziamɨn gun atrivim mɨkɨmtɨ, kɨ kalabus ateka.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.

15Guizbangɨra, bar faraghɨvɨra gumazir maba Hibruian nguazimɨn na okemegha na inigha kagh ize. Ezɨ kɨ Isipɨn kagh ikia, bizitam pazava a gamizir puvatɨ. Ezɨ me pura na isa kalabus gatɨ.”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.”

16Ezɨ gumazir bretɨn ingarim, a wainɨn garir gumazimɨn irebamɨn mɨngarim barasi. Ezɨ a derazɨma, a kamaghɨn Josep mɨgei, “Kɨ uaghan irebar mamɨn gani. Nan irebam kamakɨn. Kɨ akɨrar 3pla uan dapanim dafagha zui. Ezɨ bretba akɨrar kabagh izɨfa.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.

17Ezɨ akɨrar pɨn itim atrivim ifongezir bretba ko bisketba ko bizir igharagha gariba a gizɨfa. Ezɨ kuaraziba iza bizir kaba api.”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.”

18Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Irebar kamɨn mɨngarim kamaghɨn ghu, akɨrar 3plan da dughiar 3plan ababanim.Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

19Eghtɨ dughiar 3pla tɨghar gɨvtɨ, atrivim kalabusɨn nɨ inigh azenan mangɨ, egh mɨdorozir gumazibav kemeghtɨ, me nɨn fɨrim atugham. Egh me nɨ isɨ ter akɨnitamɨn nɨn kuam aguraghtɨ, kuaraziba izɨ nɨn namnamra amam.”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.”

20Ezɨ namba 3ɨn dughiam Isipɨn atrivim uan ingangarir gumaziba bagha isar ekiam gami, me isar kamɨn ikɨ amebam a batezir dughiam gɨnɨghnɨgham. Ezɨ a gumazir wainɨn ingarim ko bretɨn ingarim inigha uan ingangarir gumazibar guamɨn aning asara.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.

21Egha wainɨn garir gumazim mɨkemezɨ a ua uan ingangarim bagha zui.Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22Egh atrivim mɨdorozir gumazibav kemezɨ, me gumazir bretɨn ingarim isa temer akɨnimɨn anegura. Ezɨ guizbangɨra Josep aningɨn irebabar gun mɨkemezɨ moghɨra bizir kaba otifi.But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.

23Ezɨ gumazir atrivimɨn wainɨn garir kam ua Josep gɨnɨghnɨzir puvatɨ.The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
