1 Mosebok 40
1 Ei tid etter dette hadde gjenge fyre seg, hende det at skjenkjaren og bakaren åt kongen i Egyptarland forsåg seg mot herren sin, kongen i Egyptarland.
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 Og Farao vart harm på båe hirdmennerne sine, skjenkjarmeisteren og bakarmeisteren,
And Pharao was wroth with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
3 og sette deim faste hjå hovdingen yver livvakti, i tårnet, der Josef sat fanga.
And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.
4 Og hovdingen yver livvakti sette Josef til å sjå til deim, og han gjekk deim til handa. Og dei vart sitjande ei tid i fangehuset.
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 Ein gong hadde dei kvar sin draum, båe tvo, skjenkaren og bakaren åt kongen i Egyptarland, dei som sat fanga i tårnet; i ei og same natti hadde dei kvar sin draum, og draumarne deira hadde kvar si meining.
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 Og då Josef kom inn til deim um morgonen, såg han det på deim at dei var i ulag.
Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
7 Då tala han til hirdmennerne åt Farao, deim som sat fengsla med honom hjå husbonden hans, og spurde: «Kvi er de so sturne av dykk i dag?»
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 «Me hev drøymt, » svara dei, «og det er ingen som kann tyda draumarne våre.» Då sagde Josef med deim: «Er det ikkje Gud som råder for uttydingi! Seg de meg kva de hev drøymt!»
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 So fortalde skjenkjarmeisteren Josef draumen sin og sagde med honom: «Eg tykte so skilleg det stod eit vintre framfyre meg,
And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.
10 og på det vintreet var det tri greiner. Og det syntest skjota knuppar, blomarne spratt, kartarne mogna til druvor.
And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
11 Og staupet åt Farao heldt eg i handi, og druvorne tok eg og kreista utor deim upp i staupet åt Farao, og so rette eg staupet til Farao.»
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 Og Josef sagde med honom: «Dette er so å tyda: Dei tri greinerne, det er tri dagar.
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.
13 Når det lid um tri dagar, skal Farao retta upp hovudet ditt og setja deg inn att i romet ditt, og du skal retta staupet til Farao, som du fyrr var van med å gjera, den tid du var skjenkjaren hans.
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 Men kom no i hug meg, når du hev fenge det godt! Kjære væne, gjer vel og tala um meg til Farao, so eg kann koma ut or dette huset!
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 For eg er stolen frå Hebræarlandet, og her hev eg ikkje heller gjort noko som dei skulde setja meg i fangeholet for.»
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 Då bakarmeisteren såg at han hadde gjeve so god ei uttyding, sagde han med Josef: «Eg tykte so skilleg eg bar tri korger med kveitebrød uppå hovudet.
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 Og i den øvste korgi var allslags kakor, som var baka åt Farao, og fuglarne åt deim upp utor korgi på hovudet mitt.»
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 Og Josef tok til ords og sagde: «Dette er so å tyda: Dei tri korgerne, det er tri dagar.
And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.
19 Når det lid um tri dagar, skal Farao retta upp hovudet ditt og hogge det av deg; so skal han hengja deg i eit tre, og fuglarne skal eta kjøtet av deg.»
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 So hende det den tridje dagen - det var årmålsdagen åt Farao - då gjorde han eit gjestebod for alle mennerne sine; og han rette upp hovudet åt skjenkjarmeisteren og bakarmeisteren imillom mennerne sine.
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 Han sette skjenkjarmeisteren inn att i embættet hans, so han fekk retta staupet til Farao,
And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
22 og bakarmeisteren hengde han, so som Josef hadde spått deim.
And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.
23 Men skjenkjarmeisteren kom ikkje i hug Josef; han gløymde honom.
Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
