اَلتَّكْوِينُ 40

١ 1 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ أَنَّ سَاقِيَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَٱلْخَبَّازَ أَذْنَبَا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمَا مَلِكِ مِصْرَ.

It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

٢ 2 فَسَخَطَ فِرْعَوْنُ عَلَى خَصِيَّيْهِ: رَئِيسِ ٱلسُّقَاةِ وَرَئِيسِ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ،

Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

٣ 3 فَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي حَبْسِ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ، فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ، ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يُوسُفُ مَحْبُوسًا فِيهِ.

So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

٤ 4 فَأَقَامَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ يُوسُفَ عِنْدَهُمَا فَخَدَمَهُمَا. وَكَانَا أَيَّامًا فِي ٱلْحَبْسِ.

The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.

٥ 5 وَحَلُمَا كِلَاهُمَا حُلْمًا فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حُلْمَهُ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَعْبِيرِ حُلْمِهِ، سَاقِي مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَخَبَّازُهُ، ٱلْمَحْبُوسَانِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.

٦ 6 فَدَخَلَ يُوسُفُ إِلَيْهِمَا فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَنَظَرَهُمَا، وَإِذَا هُمَا مُغْتَمَّانِ.

Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.

٧ 7 فَسَأَلَ خَصِيَّيْ فِرْعَوْنَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ مَعَهُ فِي حَبْسِ بَيْتِ سَيِّدِهِ قَائِلًا: «لِمَاذَا وَجْهَاكُمَا مُكْمَدَّانِ ٱلْيَوْمَ؟»

He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

٨ 8 فَقَالَا لَهُ: «حَلُمْنَا حُلْمًا وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُعَبِّرُهُ». فَقَالَ لَهُمَا يُوسُفُ: «أَلَيْسَتْ لِلهِ ٱلتَّعَابِيرُ؟ قُصَّا عَلَيَّ».

They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

٩ 9 فَقَصَّ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ حُلْمَهُ عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «كُنْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَإِذَا كَرْمَةٌ أَمَامِي.

The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,

١٠ 10 وَفِي ٱلْكَرْمَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ قُضْبَانٍ، وَهِيَ إِذْ أَفْرَخَتْ طَلَعَ زَهْرُهَا، وَأَنْضَجَتْ عَنَاقِيدُهَا عِنَبًا.

and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.

١١ 11 وَكَانَتْ كَأْسُ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي يَدِي، فَأَخَذْتُ ٱلْعِنَبَ وَعَصَرْتُهُ فِي كَأْسِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَأَعْطَيْتُ ٱلْكَأْسَ فِي يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ».

Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

١٢ 12 فَقَالَ لَهُ يُوسُفُ: «هَذَا تَعْبِيرُهُ: ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلْقُضْبَانِ هِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ.

Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

١٣ 13 فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَيْضًا يَرْفَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ رَأْسَكَ وَيَرُدُّكَ إِلَى مَقَامِكَ، فَتُعْطِي كَأْسَ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي يَدِهِ كَٱلْعَادَةِ ٱلْأُولَى حِينَ كُنْتَ سَاقِيَهُ.

Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.

١٤ 14 وَإِنَّمَا إِذَا ذَكَرْتَنِي عِنْدَكَ حِينَمَا يَصِيرُ لَكَ خَيْرٌ، تَصْنَعُ إِلَيَّ إِحْسَانًا وَتَذْكُرُنِي لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَتُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ.

But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.

١٥ 15 لِأَنِّي قَدْ سُرِقْتُ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ، وَهُنَا أَيْضًا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى وَضَعُونِي فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ».

For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."

١٦ 16 فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَئِيسُ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ أَنَّهُ عَبَّرَ جَيِّدًا، قَالَ لِيُوسُفَ: «كُنْتُ أَنَا أَيْضًا فِي حُلْمِي وَإِذَا ثَلَاثَةُ سِلَالِ حُوَّارَى عَلَى رَأْسِي.

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

١٧ 17 وَفِي ٱلسَّلِّ ٱلْأَعْلَى مِنْ جَمِيعِ طَعَامِ فِرْعَوْنَ مِنْ صَنْعَةِ ٱلْخَبَّازِ. وَٱلطُّيُورُ تَأْكُلُهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّلِّ عَنْ رَأْسِي».

In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."

١٨ 18 فَأَجَابَ يُوسُفُ وَقَالَ: «هَذَا تَعْبِيرُهُ: ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلسِّلَالِ هِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ.

Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.

١٩ 19 فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَيْضًا يَرْفَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ رَأْسَكَ عَنْكَ، وَيُعَلِّقُكَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ، وَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطُّيُورُ لَحْمَكَ عَنْكَ».

Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."

٢٠ 20 فَحَدَثَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ، يَوْمِ مِيلَادِ فِرْعَوْنَ، أَنَّهُ صَنَعَ وَلِيمَةً لِجَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَ رَئِيسِ ٱلسُّقَاةِ وَرَأْسَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ بَيْنَ عَبِيدِهِ.

And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

٢١ 21 وَرَدَّ رَئِيسَ ٱلسُّقَاةِ إِلَى سَقْيِهِ، فَأَعْطَى ٱلْكَأْسَ فِي يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ.

He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا رَئِيسُ ٱلْخَبَّازِينَ فَعَلَّقَهُ، كَمَا عَبَّرَ لَهُمَا يُوسُفُ.

but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ يُوسُفَ بَلْ نَسِيَهُ.

But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
