Postanak 40
1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
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.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
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!”
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku.”
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are 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.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
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.
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring 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 was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 Kad je glavni pekar vidio kako je Josip dao dobro tumačenje, reče mu: “Usnuh da su mi na glavi tri bijele košare.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 U najgornjoj bilo svakovrsna peciva što ga pekar pripravlja faraonu, ali su ptice jele iz košare povrh moje glave.”
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Josip odgovori: “Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 Poslije tri dana faraon će uzdići tvoju glavu i o drvo te objesiti te će ptice jesti meso s tebe.”
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
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.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
