1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and the baker, had sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,
Then fell the wroth of Pharaoh upon his two courtiers, upon the chief of the butlers, and upon the chief of the bakers;
3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.
so he delivered them up into the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, into the prison, —the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,
And the chief of the royal executioners charged Joseph with them and he waited upon them, and they were some days in ward.
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 dreamed a dream they two, each man, his dream in one night, each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, —the butler and the baker who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the prison.
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, —and looked at them, and lo! they were sad.
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
So he asked Pharaoh’s courtiers who were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces troubled to-day!
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!”
And they said unto him, A dream, have we dreamed, but there is none, to interpret, it. Then said Joseph unto them—Is it not unto God, that interpretations belong? Relate it. I pray you, to me.
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
And the chief of the butlers related his dream to Joseph, —and said to him, In my dream, then lo! a vine, before me;
10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.
and, in the vine, three shoots, —and the same at sprouting time, had shot up her blossom, and her clusters had brought to perfection ripe grapes.
11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku.”
Now, the cup of Pharaoh, being in my hand, I took the ripe grapes and pressed them out into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup upon Pharaoh’s palm.
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
And Joseph said to him, This, is the interpretation thereof, —The three shoots 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.
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office, and thou shalt set the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.
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 if thou remember how I was with thee when it shall go well with thee, then wilt thou I pray thee do me a lovingkindness, —and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me forth out of this house;
15 Jer, zbilja, bio sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja; ni ovdje nisam ništa skrivio, a baciše me u tamnicu.”
For I was, stolen, out of the land of the Hebrews, —and, even here, had I done nothing, that they should have put me in 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.
Then the chief of the bakers, seeing that he had well interpreted, said unto Joseph, I, too, was in my dream, when lo! three wicker baskets of fine 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.”
and, in the uppermost basket, was some of every kind of food for Pharaoh that a baker could make, —but, the birds, kept eating them out of the basket from off my head.
18 Josip odgovori: “Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.
And Joseph responded and said, This, is the interpretation thereof, 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.”
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
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 came to pass on the third day the birthday of Pharaoh, that he made a banquet for all his servants, and uplifted the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers in the midst of his servants;
21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,
and restored the chief of the butlers to his butlership, so that he set the cup upon the palm of Pharaoh;
22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.
but, the chief of the bakers, he hanged, —as, Joseph, had interpreted unto them.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
Yet the chief of the butlers made no mention of Joseph but did forget him.
