¹And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

¹Shure kwaizvozvo mudiri wama­mbo weEgipita nomubiki wake va­katadzira tenzi wavo, mambo weEgipita.

²And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains -- with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;

²Farao akatsamwira kwazvo varanda vake vaviri, ivo mukuru wavadiri nomukuru wavabiki.

³and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

³Akavasunga kuti vachengetwe mumba momukuru wavarindi, mutirongo, pakanga pakasungwa Josefa.

⁴And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.

⁴Mukuru wavarindi akaraira Josefa kuvachengeta; iye akavabatira, vakaita nguva vachiche­ngetwa.

⁵And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.

⁵Zvino vose vaviri vakarota hope usiku humwe, mumwe nomumwe ku­rota kwake, kurota kumwe nokumwe kune dudziro yako, ivo mudiri nomu­biki vamambo weEgipita, vakanga vaka­sungwa mutirongo.

⁶And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.

⁶Zvino fume ma­ngwana Josefa akapinda kwavari, akavatarira, akaona kuti havafari.

⁷And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?

⁷Aka­bvunza varanda vaFarao vakanga va­chengetwa pamwechete naye mumba matenzi wake, akati, Nhasi makasuwa neiko?

⁸And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.

⁸Vakati kwaari, Tarota hope, asi hakuna munhu anogona kudzidudzira. Josefa akati kwavari, Kududzira hakuzi kwaMwari here? Dondirondedzerai he­nyu.

⁹Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

⁹Zvino mukuru wavadiri akaronde­dzera kurota kwake kuna Josefa, akati, kwaari, muchiroto kwangu ndakaona muzambiringa pamberi pangu; pamuza­mbiringa pakanga pana matavi matatu;

¹⁰and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.

¹⁰ukaita sokutumbuka, ukabudisa ma­ruva; masumbu awo akabereka maza­mbiringa akaibva;

¹¹And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

¹¹mukombe waFarao wakange uri muruoko rwangu; zvino ndikatora mazambiringa, ndikaasvinira mumukombe waFarao, ndikaisa muko­mbe muruoko rwaFarao.

¹²And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.

¹²Josefa akati kwaari, Kududzirwa kwadzo ndiko: Matavi matatu mazuva matatu;

¹³In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.

¹³mazuva matatu agere kupera Farao achasimudza musoro wako, noku­kudzosera kubasa rako; ipapo uchaisa mukombe waFarao muruoko rwakezve, sezvawaiita kare uchiri mudiri wake.

¹⁴Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;

¹⁴Asi undirangarire hako kana woitirwa zvakanaka; undiitire tsitsi, undireverere kuna Farao, kuti ndibudiswe paimba ino;

¹⁵for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

¹⁵nekuti zvirokwazvo, ndakabiwa ku­nyika yavaHebheru; napano handina kuita chinhu chakafanira kuti vandiise mugomba iri.

¹⁶And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

¹⁶Zvino mukuru wavabiki akati aona kuti dudziro yakanaka, akati kuna Josefa, Neniwo ndakanga ndiri pakurota kwa­ngu, ndikaona tswanda nhatu dzechingwa chichena dzakanga dziri pamusoro wa­ngu;

¹⁷And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

¹⁷mutswanda yapamusoro makanga mune zvokudya zvamarudzi ose zvakabi­kwa zvaFarao; shiri dzikazvidya mutswa­nda yaiva pamusoro wangu.

¹⁸And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.

¹⁸Ipapo Josefa akapindura, akati, Kududzirwa kwadzo ndiko: Tswanda nhatu mazuva matatu;

¹⁹In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.

¹⁹mazuva matatu agere kupera, Farao achasimudza musoro wako akaubvisa pamusoro pako, akusu­ngirire pamuti; shiri dzichadya nyama yako dzichiibvisa kwauri.

²⁰And it came to pass the third day -- Pharaoh's birthday -- that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.

²⁰Zvino nomusi wetatu, musi woku­zvarwa kwaFarao, iye akaitira varanda vake vose mutambo. Akasimudza musoro womukuru wavadiri, nomusoro womu­kuru wavabiki pakati pavaranda vake,

²¹And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

²¹akadzosera mukuru wavadiri kubasa rake rokudira kwake, akapa mukombe waFarao muruoko rwaFarao;

²²And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

²²asi akasu­ngirira mukuru wavabiki sezvavakanga vadudzirwa naJosefa.

²³But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.

²³Asi mukuru wa­vadiri haana kurangarira Josefa, asi aka­mukangamwa.
