اَلتَّكْوِينُ 40

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

And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.

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

And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

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

And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.

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

And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.

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 both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.

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

Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.

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

And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?

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

And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.

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

And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.

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

And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

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

And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

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

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems 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 three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.

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

But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.

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

For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this 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 baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

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

And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.

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

And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.

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

Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from 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 came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.

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

And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

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

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

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ يُوسُفَ بَلْ نَسِيَهُ.

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