1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,
And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.
He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was 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, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept 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 dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance 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 answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
The chief butler first told his dream: 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 branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe 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 Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet 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 Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
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 shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take 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 stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
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 baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
17 U najgornjoj bilo svakovrsna peciva što ga pekar pripravlja faraonu, ali su ptice jele iz košare povrh moje glave.”
And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
18 Josip odgovori: “Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet 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 Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy 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 after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
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 gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
