1 Mosebog 40
1 Og det hændte sig derefter, at Kongen af Ægyptens Mundskænk og Bager syndede mod deres Herre, Kongen af Ægypten.
And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Og Farao blev vred paa begge sine Betjente, paa den øverste Mundskænk og den øverste Bager.
And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
3 Og han satte dem i Forvaring i Huset hos Øversten for Livvagten, i Fængslets Hus, paa det Sted, hvor Josef var Fange.
And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.
4 Og Øversten for Livvagten beskikkede Josef til at være hos dem, og han betjente dem, og de vare en Tid i Forvaring.
And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.
5 Og de drømte begge en Drøm, hver sin Drøm i een Nat, hver sin Drøm efter sin Udtydning, Kongen af Ægyptens Mundskænk og Bager, som vare Fanger i Fængslets Hus.
And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.
6 Og Josef kom til dem om Morgenen og saa dem, og se, de vare bedrøvede.
Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
7 Og han spurgte Faraos Betjente, som vare med ham i Forvaring i hans Herres Hus, og sagde: Hvi se I saa ilde ud i Dag?
And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?
8 Og de sagde til ham: Vi drømte en Drøm, og her er ingen, som kan udtyde den. Og Josef sagde til dem: Hører ikke Udtydninger Gud til fortæller mig det dog!
And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.
9 Da fortalte den øverste Mundskænk Josef sin Drøm og sagde til ham: Idet jeg drømte, se, da var et Vintræ for mig.
And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.
10 Og paa Vintræet vare tre Kviste, og det grønnedes, og dets Blomster fremkom, og Klaserne derpaa fik modne Bær.
And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
11 Og Faraos Bæger var i min Haand, og jeg tog Druerne og trykkede dem i Faraos Bæger og gav Farao Bægeret i Haanden.
And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
12 Da sagde Josef til ham: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Vinkviste ere tre Dage.
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.
13 Om tre Dage skal Farao opløfte dit Hoved og sætte dig i dit Sted igen, at du skal give Faraos Bæger i hans Haand, efter den forrige Vis, der du var hans Mundskænk.
Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.
14 Men tænk du paa mig, naar det gaar dig vel, og gør da den Miskundhed mod mig, at du erindrer mig hos Farao, at han tager mig ud af dette Hus.
But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.
15 Thi jeg er hemmelig stjaalen af de Hebræers Land; dertil har jeg ikke heller her gjort noget, at de have sat mig i Hulen.
For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.
16 Og der den øverste Bager saa, at han havde udtydet det vel, da sagde han til Josef: Jeg drømte ogsaa, og se, der var tre Kurve med Hvedebrød paa mit Hoved.
And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.
17 Og i den øverste Kurv var af alle Haande Mad, Bagværk til Farao, og Fuglene aade det af Kurven paa mit Hoved.
And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.
18 Da svarede Josef og sagde: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Kurve ere tre Dage.
And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.
19 Om tre Dage skal Farao opløfte dit Hoved fra dig og hænge dig paa et Træ, og Fuglene skulle æde dit Kød af dig.
Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.
20 Og det skete paa den tredje Dag, paa Faraos Fødselsdag, da gjorde han alle sine Tjenere et Gæstebud og opløftede den øverste Mundskænks Hoved og den øverste Bagers Hoved iblandt sine Tjenere.
And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.
21 Og han satte den øverste Mundskænk til sit Skænkeembede igen, og han rakte Bægeret i Faraos Haand.
And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
22 Men den øverste Bager lod han hænge, saasom Josef havde udtydet dem.
And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.
23 Og den øverste Mundskænk tænkte ikke paa Josef, men forglemte ham.
Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
