اَلتَّكْوِينُ 40

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

And it cometh to pass, after these things — the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt;

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

and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,

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

and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,

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

and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge.

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 they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.

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

And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they [are] morose;

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

and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who [are] with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, 'Wherefore [are] your faces sad to-day?'

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

And they say unto him, 'A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, 'Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'

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

And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, 'In my dream, then lo, a vine [is] before me!

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

and in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;

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

and Pharaoh's cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.'

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

And Joseph saith 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.

yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

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

'Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,

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

for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'

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

And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, 'I also [am] in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head,

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

and in the uppermost basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'

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

And Joseph answereth and saith, '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».

yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.'

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 cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,

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

and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;

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

and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them;

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ يُوسُفَ بَلْ نَسِيَهُ.

and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him.
