Postanak 40

1 Poslije toga dogodi se, te peharnik cara Misirskoga i hljebar skriviše gospodaru svojemu, caru Misirskom.

And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2 I Faraon se razgnjevi na ta dva dvoranina, na starješinu nad peharnicima i na starješinu nad hljebarima;

And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

3 I baci ih u tamnicu u kuæi zapovjednika stražarskoga, gdje Josif bješe sužanj.

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.

4 A zapovjednik stražarski odredi im Josifa da ih služi; i bijahu dugo u tamnici.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

5 I usniše san obojica u jednu noæ, svaki po znaèenju svojega sna za sebe, i peharnik i hljebar cara Misirskoga, koji bijahu sužnji u tamnici.

And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were] bound in the prison.

6 I sjutradan kad doðe Josif k njima, pogleda ih, a oni bjehu vrlo neveseli.

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.

7 Pa zapita dvorane Faraonove, koji bijahu sužnji s njim u kuæi gospodara njegova, i reèe: što ste danas lica nevesela?

And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to day?

8 A oni mu rekoše: san usnismo obojica, a nema ko da nam kaže šta znaèe. A Josif im reèe: šta znaèe, nije li u Boga? ali pripovjedite mi.

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

9 I starješina nad peharnicima pripovjedi san svoj Josifu govoreæi: snih, a preda mnom èokot;

And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;

10 I na èokotu bjehu tri loze, i napupi i procvate, i grožðe na njemu uzre;

And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

11 A u ruci mi bješe èaša Faraonova, te pobrah zrelo grožðe i iscijedih ga u èašu Faraonovu, i dodadoh èašu Faraonu.

And Pharaoh’s cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

12 A Josif mu reèe: ovo znaèi: tri su loze tri dana.

And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days:

13 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeæi svoje dvorane uzeæe i tebe, i opet te postaviti u preðašnju službu, i opet æeš mu dodavati èašu kao i preðe dok si mu bio peharnik.

Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

14 Ali nemoj zaboraviti mene kad budeš u dobru, uèini milost i pomeni za me Faraonu, i izvadi me iz ove kuæe.

But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

15 Jer su me ukrali iz zemlje Jevrejske, a ovdje nijesam ništa uèinio da me bace u ovu jamu.

For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

16 A kad vidje starješina nad hljebarima kako lijepo kaza san, reèe Josifu: i ja snih, a meni na glavi tri kotarice bijele;

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:

17 I u najgornjoj kotarici bijaše svakojakih kolaèa za Faraona, i ptice jeðahu iz kotarice na mojoj glavi.

And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

18 A Josif odgovori i reèe: ovo znaèi: tri kotarice tri su dana.

And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:

19 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeæi dvorane svoje izbaciæe te i objesiæe te na vješala, i ptice æe jesti s tebe meso.

Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

20 I kad doðe treæi dan, to bješe dan u koji se rodio Faraon, i uèini Faraon gozbu svima slugama svojim, i naiðe meðu slugama svojim na starješinu nad peharnicima i na starješinu nad hljebarima;

And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21 I povrati starješinu nad peharnicima u službu da dodaje èašu Faraonu;

And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:

22 A starješinu nad hljebarima objesi, kao što kaza Josif.

But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 I starješina nad peharnicima ne opomenu se Josifa, nego ga zaboravi.

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
