Postanak 40
1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,
And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.
sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
5 obojica njih - peharnik i pekar egipatskog kralja, utamničenici - usnu san jedne te iste noći. Svaki je usnuo svoj san; i svaki je san imao svoje značenje.
And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
8 Odgovore mu: “Sne smo usnuli, ali nikog nema da nam ih protumači.” Josip im reče: “Zar tumačenje ne spada na Boga? Dajte, pričajte mi!”
They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.
on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku.”
And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
13 Poslije tri dana faraon će te pomilovati i vratiti na tvoje mjesto; opet ćeš stavljati pehar faraonu u ruku, kao i prije, dok si mu bio peharnik.
after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
14 Kada ti bude opet dobro, sjeti se da sam i ja bio s tobom, pa mi učini ovu uslugu: spomeni me faraonu i pokušaj me izvesti iz ove kuće.
Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.
15 Jer, zbilja, bio sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja; ni ovdje nisam ništa skrivio, a baciše me u tamnicu.”
For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”
16 Kad je glavni pekar vidio kako je Josip dao dobro tumačenje, reče mu: “Usnuh da su mi na glavi tri bijele košare.
The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head,
17 U najgornjoj bilo svakovrsna peciva što ga pekar pripravlja faraonu, ali su ptice jele iz košare povrh moje glave.”
and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
18 Josip odgovori: “Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
19 Poslije tri dana faraon će uzdići tvoju glavu i o drvo te objesiti te će ptice jesti meso s tebe.”
after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
20 I zaista, trećega dana, kad je faraon priredio gozbu za sve svoje službenike - bio mu je rođendan - iz sredine svojih službenika izluči glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara.
The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup;
22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.
the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
