تكوين 40

١ 1 وَاتَّفَقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ سَاقِيَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَالْخَبَّازَ 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 السُّقَاةِ وَرَئِيسِ الْخَبَّازِينَ،

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

٣ 3 وَزَجَّهُمَا فِي مُعْتَقَلِ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ الْحَرَسِ فِي السِّجْنِ، فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُوسُفُ مَحْبُوساً 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 فَوَلَّى رَئِيسُ الْحَرَسِ يُوسُفَ أَمْرَهُمَا، فَقَامَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِمَا، فَمَكَثَا فِي الْمُعْتَقَلِ أَيَّاماً.

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

٥ 5 وَحَلُمَ كُلٌّ مِنْ سَاقِي مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَخَبَّازِهِ الْمُعْتَقَلَيْنِ فِي السِّجْنِ حُلْماً فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. وَكَانَ لِحُلْمِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا مَعْنَاهُ الْخَاصُّ بِصَاحِبِهِ.

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 فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا يُوسُفُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ فَوَجَدَهُمَا مُكْتَئِبَيْنِ.

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

٧ 7 فَسَأَلَهُمَا: «لِمَاذَا وَجْهَاكُمَا مُكَمَّدَانِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ؟»

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 فَأَجَابَاهُ: «حَلُمَ كُلٌّ مِنَّا حُلْماً وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُفَسِّرُهُ». فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «أَلَيْسَتْ تَفَاسِيرُ الأَحْلامِ لِلهِ؟ حَدِّثَانِي بِهِمَا».

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 فَسَرَدَ رَئِيسُ السُّقَاةِ حُلْمَهُ عَلَى يُوسُفَ. قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَإذَا 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 فِيهَا ثَلاثَةُ أَغْصَانٍ أَفْرَخَتْ ثُمَّ أَزْهَرَتْ، وَمَا لَبِثَتْ عَنَاقِيدُهَا أَنْ أَثْمَرَتْ عِنَباً نَاضِجاً.

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، فَتَنَاوَلْتُ الْعِنَبَ وَعَصَرْتُهُ فِي كَأْسِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَوَضَعْتُ الْكَأْسَ فِي يَدِهِ».

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: «إِلَيْكَ تَفْسِيرَهُ: الثَّلاثَةُ الأَغْصَان هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ.

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

١٣ 13 بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَرْضَى عَنْكَ فِرْعَوْنُ، وَيَرُدُّكَ إِلَى مَنْزِلَتِكَ حَيْثُ تُنَاوِلُ فِرْعَوْنَ كَأْسَهُ، تَمَاماً كَمَا كُنْتَ مُعْتَاداً أَنْ تَفْعَلَ عِنْدَمَا 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 إِنَّمَا إِذَا أَصَابَكَ خَيْرٌ فَاذْكُرْنِي وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ. اذْكُرْنِي لَدَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ هَذَا السِّجْنِ،

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 لأَنَّنِي حُمِلْتُ عَنْوَةً مِنْ أَرْضِ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ، وَهُنَا أَيْضاً لَمْ أَجْنِ شَيْئاً لِيَزُجُّوا بِي فِي هَذَا السِّجْنِ».

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 وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى رَئِيسُ الْخَبَّازِينَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ أَحْسَنَ التَّفْسِيرَ، قَالَ لَهُ: «رَأَيْتُ أَنَا أَيْضاً حُلْماً، وَإذَا بِثَلاثَةِ سِلالٍ بَيْضَاءَ 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 وَكَانَ السَّلُّ الأَعْلَى مَلِيئاً مِنْ طَعَامِ فِرْعَوْنَ مِمَّا يُعِدُّهُ الْخَبَّازُ، إِلّا أَنَّ الطُّيُورَ كَانَتْ تَلْتَهِمُهُ مِنَ السَّلِّ الَّذِي عَلَى 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 فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «إِلَيْكَ تَفْسِيرَهُ: الثَّلاثَةُ السِّلالُ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ

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

١٩ 19 بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَقْطَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ رَأْسَكَ وَيُعَلِّقُكَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ فَتَأْكُلُ الطُّيُورُ لَحْمَكَ».

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 وَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ هُوَ يَوْمُ عِيدِ مِيلادِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأَقَامَ مَأْدُبَةً لِجَمِيعِ رِجَالِهِ، وَأَحْضَرَ مِنَ السِّجْنِ رَئِيسَ السُّقَاةِ وَرَئِيسَ الْخَبَّازِينَ أَمَامَهُمْ.

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 السُّقَاةِ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، فَصَارَ يُقَدِّمُ الْكَأْسَ لِيَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ.

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

٢٢ 22 أَمَّا رَئِيسُ الْخَبَّازِينَ فَقَدْ عَلَّقَهُ (عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ) مِثْلَمَا فَسَّرَ لَهُمَا يُوسُفُ حُلْمَيْهِمَا.

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

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقَاةِ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ يُوسُفَ بَلْ نَسِيَهُ.

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