Postanak 40
1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.
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).
2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,
The king became angry with both of them.
3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.
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.
4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,
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.
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.
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.
6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: “Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?”
So he asked them, “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!”
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.”
9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: “Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.
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.
10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku.”
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.”
12 Josip mu reče: “Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.
[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.
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 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.
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 you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Jer, zbilja, bio sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja; ni ovdje nisam ništa skrivio, a baciše me u tamnicu.”
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!”
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 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.
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 were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”
18 Josip odgovori: “Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent 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 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.”
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 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.
21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,
He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.
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.
23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
