پیدایش 40

۱ 1 و بعد از این امور، واقع شد که ساقی و خباز پادشاه مصر، به آقای خویش، پادشاه مصر خطا کردند.

Some time later, two of the king of Egypt’s officials did things that displeased him. One was his chief (drink-server/man who prepared the wine and served it to the king), and the other was his chief (baker/man who baked bread for the king).

۲ 2 و فرعون به دو خواجه خود، یعنی سردار ساقیان و سردار خبازان غضب نمود.

The king became angry with both of them.

۳ 3 و ایشان را در زندان رئیس افواج خاصه، یعنی زندانی که یوسف در آنجا محبوس بود، انداخت.

So he had them put in prison, in the house of the captain of the palace guards. That was the place where Joseph was being kept.

۴ 4 و سردار افواج خاصه، یوسف را برایشان گماشت، و ایشان را خدمت می‌کرد، ومدتی در زندان ماندند.

The two men were in prison for a long time. And during that time the captain of the palace guards appointed Joseph to be their servant, to take care of their needs.

۵ 5 و هر دو در یک شب خوابی دیدند، هر کدام خواب خود را. هر کدام موافق تعبیر خود، یعنی ساقی و خباز پادشاه مصر که در زندان محبوس بودند.

One night while the king’s drink-server and his baker were there in the prison, each of them had a dream. Each dream had a different meaning.

۶ 6 بامدادان چون یوسف نزد ایشان آمد، دید که اینک ملول هستند.

The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.

۷ 7 پس، از خواجه های فرعون، که با وی در زندان آقای او بودند، پرسیده، گفت: «امروز چرا روی شما غمگین است؟»

So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”

۸ 8 به وی گفتند: «خوابی دیده‌ایم و کسی نیست که آن را تعبیر کند.» یوسف بدیشان گفت: «آیا تعبیرها از آن خدانیست؟ آن را به من بازگویید.»

One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”

۹ 9 آنگاه رئیس ساقیان، خواب خود را به یوسف بیان کرده، گفت: «در خواب من، اینک تاکی پیش روی من بود.

So the king’s chief drink-server told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream I saw a grapevine in front of me.

۱۰ 10 و در تاک سه شاخه بود و آن بشکفت، و گل آورد و خوشه هایش انگور رسیده داد.

On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.

۱۱ 11 و جام فرعون در دست من بود. و انگورها را چیده، در جام فرعون فشردم، وجام را به‌دست فرعون دادم.»

I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.”

۱۲ 12 یوسف به وی گفت: «تعبیرش اینست، سه شاخه سه روز است.

[God immediately told Joseph what the dream meant]. So Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of your dream: The three branches of the vine represent three days.

۱۳ 13 بعد از سه روز، فرعون سر تو را برافرازد و به منصبت بازگمارد، و جام فرعون را به‌دست وی دهی به رسم سابق، که ساقی او بودی.

Within three days the king will release you from prison. He will let you do the work that you did before. You will take cups of wine to the king as you did before, when you were his drink-server.

۱۴ 14 و هنگامی که برای تو نیکوشود، مرا یاد کن و به من احسان نموده، احوال مرانزد فرعون مذکور ساز، و مرا از این خانه بیرون آور،

But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.

۱۵ 15 زیرا که فی الواقع از زمین عبرانیان دزدیده شده‌ام، و اینجا نیز کاری نکرده‌ام که مرا درسیاه چال افکنند.»

People took me away forcefully from the land where my fellow Hebrews live. [I did nothing wrong there], and also while I have been here in Egypt, I have done nothing for which I deserved to be put in prison. So be kind to me and tell the king about me, so that he will release me from this prison!”

۱۶ 16 اما چون رئیس خبازان دید که تعبیر، نیکوبود، به یوسف گفت: «من نیز خوابی دیده‌ام، که اینک سه سبد نان سفید بر سر من است،

When the chief baker heard that the meaning of the dream of the king’s drink-server was very favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. In the dream I was surprised to see three baskets of bread stacked on my head.

۱۷ 17 و درسبد زبرین هر قسم طعام برای فرعون از پیشه خباز می‌باشد و مرغان، آن را از سبدی که بر سر من است، می‌خورند.»

In the top basket there were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”

۱۸ 18 یوسف در جواب گفت: «تعبیرش این است، سه سبد سه روز می‌باشد.

God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.

۱۹ 19 و بعد از سه روز فرعون سر تو را از تو بردارد وتو را بر دار بیاویزد، و مرغان، گوشتت را از توبخورند.»

Within three days the king will command that your head be cut off. Then your body will be hung on a tree, and vultures will come and eat your flesh.”

۲۰ 20 پس در روز سوم که یوم میلاد فرعون بود، ضیافتی برای همه خدام خود ساخت، و سررئیس ساقیان و سر رئیس خبازان را در میان نوکران خود برافراشت.

The third day after that was the (king’s birthday/day they celebrated when the king became one year older). On that day the king invited all his officials to celebrate his birthday. During the celebration, while they were all gathered there, the king summoned his chief drink-server and chief baker from the prison.

۲۱ 21 اما رئیس ساقیان را به ساقی گریش باز آورد، و جام را به‌دست فرعون داد.

He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.

۲۲ 22 و اما رئیس خبازان را به دار کشید، چنانکه یوسف برای ایشان تعبیر کرده بود.

But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams.

۲۳ 23 لیکن رئیس ساقیان، یوسف را به یاد نیاورد، بلکه او رافراموش کرد.

But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
