1 Mojžišova 40
1 Stalo se potom, že šeňkýř krále Egyptského a pekař provinili proti pánu svému, králi Egyptskému.
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 I rozhněval se Farao na oba úředníky své, na vládaře nad šeňkýři, a na vládaře nad pekaři.
The king became angry with both of them.
3 A dal je do vězení v domě nejvyššího nad drabanty, do věže žalářné, v místo, v němž Jozef vězněm byl.
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 I postavil jim nejvyšší nad drabanty Jozefa k službě; a byli drahně dní u vězení.
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 I měli sen oba dva, každý z nich sen svůj noci jedné, každý podlé vyložení sna svého, šeňkýř i pekař krále Egyptského, kteříž seděli v věži.
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 Tedy přišel k nim Jozef ráno, a hleděl na ně; a aj, byli smutní.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 I optal se těch úředníků Faraonových, kteříž s ním byli v vězení v domě pána jeho, řka: Proč jsou dnes tváři vaše smutnější?
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Kteřížto odpověděli jemu: Měli jsme sen, a nemáme, kdo by jej vyložil. I řekl jim Jozef: Zdaliž Boží nejsou výkladové? Pravte mi medle.
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 Tedy správce nad šeňkýři vypravoval sen svůj Jozefovi, a řekl jemu: Zdálo se mi ve snách, že jsem viděl před sebou vinný kmen,
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 A na tom kmenu tři ratolesti; a ten kmen jako by pupence pouštěl, a vycházel květ jeho, až k sezrání přišli hroznové jeho.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 A já maje koflík Faraonův v ruce své, bral jsem hrozny, a vytlačoval je do koflíka Faraonova, a podával jsem koflíka Faraonovi do rukou.
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 I řekl jemu Jozef: Toto jest vyložení jeho: Ti tři révové jsou tři dnové.
[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 Po třech dnech povýší Farao hlavy tvé, a k úřadu tvému tě navrátí; i budeš podávati koflíka Faraonova do ruky jeho podlé obyčeje prvního, když jsi byl šeňkýřem jeho.
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 Ale mějž mne v své paměti, kdyžť se dobře povede; a učiň, prosím, se mnou to milosrdenství, abys zmínku učinil o mně před Faraonem, a vysvobodil mne z domu tohoto.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Nebo kradmo jsem vzat z země Židovské; a zde jsem ničeho neučinil, pročež by mne do tohoto vězení dali.
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 Vida pak správce nad pekaři, že dobře vyložil, řekl Jozefovi: Mně také zdálo se ve snách, ano tři košové pletení na hlavě mé.
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 A v koši vrchním byli všelijací pokrmové Faraonovi dílem pekařským strojení, a ptáci jedli je z koše nad hlavou mou.
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 I odpověděl Jozef a řekl: Toto jest vyložení jeho: Tři košové jsou tři dnové.
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 Po třech dnech odejme tobě Farao hlavu tvou, a oběsí tě na dřevě; i budou jísti ptáci maso tvé 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 Tedy stalo se v den třetí, v den pamatný narození Faraonova, že učinil hody všechněm služebníkům svým; i počítal hlavu vládaře nad šeňky, i hlavu vládaře nad pekaři, mezi služebníky svými.
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 A navrátil nejvyššího nad šeňky k místu jeho, aby podával koflíku Faraonovi do ruky.
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 Vládaře pak nad pekaři oběsil, tak jakž jim byl sen vyložil Jozef.
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 A nezpomenul správce nad šeňky na Jozefa, ale zapomenul na něj.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
