1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, 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.
So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place 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 attended them. They stayed in prison 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.
And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad 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!”
They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.
and in the vine were three branches. When 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 and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
Then Joseph said to him, "This is its 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 you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to 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 remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get 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 indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
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 also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were 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 there was all kinds 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 answered, "This is its 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 up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
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.
And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,
He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.
but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
