創世記 40

1 これらの事の後エジプト王の酒人と膳夫その主エジプト王に罪ををかす

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.

2 パロその二人の臣すなはち酒人の長と膳夫の長を怒りて

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

3 之を侍衞の長の家の中なる獄に幽囚ふヨセフが繋れをる所なり

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

4 侍衞の長ヨセフをして彼等の側に侍しめたればヨセフ之につかふ彼等幽囚れて日を經たり

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

5 茲に獄に繋れたるエジプト王の酒人と膳夫の二人ともに一夜の中に各夢を見たりその夢はおのおんおのその解明にかなふ

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.

6 ヨセフ朝に及びて彼等の所に入て視るに彼等物憂に見ゆ

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

7 是に於てヨセフその主人の家に己とともに幽囚をるパロの臣に問て汝等なにゆゑに今日は顏色あやしきやといふに

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 to-day?

8 彼等これにいふ我等夢を見たれど之を解く者なしとヨセフ彼等にいひけるは解く事は神によるにあらずや請ふ我に述よ

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.

9 酒人の長その夢をヨセフに述て之にいふ我夢の中に見しにわが前に一の葡萄樹あり

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

10 その樹に三の枝あり芽いで花ひらきて葡萄なり球をなして熟たるがごとくなりき

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

11 時にパロの爵わが手にあり我葡萄を摘てこれをパロの爵に搾りその爵をパロの手に奉たり

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.

12 ヨセフ彼にいひけるはその解明は是のごとし三の枝は三日なり

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.

13 今より三日の中にパロなんぢの首を擧げ汝を故の所にかへさん汝は曩に酒人たりし時になせし如くパロの爵をその手に奉ぐるにいたらん

Yet three days and Pharao shall remember thy office, and he shall restore thee to thy place of chief cupbearer, and thou shalt give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to thy former high place, as thou wast wont to be cupbearer.

14 然ば請ふ汝善ならん時に我をおもひて我に恩惠をほどこし吾事をパロにのべてこの家よりわれを出せ

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

15 我はまことにヘブル人の地より掠れ來しものなればなりまた此にても我は牢にいれらるるがごとき事はなさざりしなり

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.

16 茲に膳夫の長その解明の善りしを見てヨセフにいふ我も夢を得て見たるに白きパン三筐わが首にありて

And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and methought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

17 その上の筐には膳夫がパロのために作りたる各種の饌ありしが鳥わが首の筐の中より之をくらへり

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.

18 ヨセフこたへていひけるはその解明はかくのごとし三の筐は三日なり

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

19 今より三日の中にパロ汝の首を擧はなして汝を木に懸んしかして鳥汝の肉をくらひとるべしと

Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

20 第三日はパロの誕辰なればパロその諸の臣僕に筵席をなし酒人の長と膳夫の長をして首をその臣僕の中に擧しむ

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.

21 即ちパロ酒人の長をその職にかへしければ彼爵をパロの手に奉たり

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

22 されど膳夫の長は木に懸らるヨセフの彼等に解明せるがごとし

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

23 然るに酒人の長ヨセフをおぼえずして之を忘れたり

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