1 Mosebog 40
1 Og det hændte sig derefter, at Kongen af Ægyptens Mundskænk og Bager syndede mod deres Herre, Kongen af Ægypten.
It came about that after these things, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and king's baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Og Farao blev vred paa begge sine Betjente, paa den øverste Mundskænk og den øverste Bager.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers.
3 Og han satte dem i Forvaring i Huset hos Øversten for Livvagten, i Fængslets Hus, paa det Sted, hvor Josef var Fange.
He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 Og Øversten for Livvagten beskikkede Josef til at være hos dem, og han betjente dem, og de vare en Tid i Forvaring.
The captain of the guard assigned Joseph to them, and he served them. They remained in custody for some time.
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.
Both of them dreamed a dream—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt who were confined in the prison—each man had his own dream in the same night, and each dream had its own interpretation.
6 Og Josef kom til dem om Morgenen og saa dem, og se, de vare bedrøvede.
Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them. Behold, they were sad.
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?
He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, “Why do you look so 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!
They said to him, “We have both dreamed a dream and no one can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me, please.”
9 Da fortalte den øverste Mundskænk Josef sin Drøm og sagde til ham: Idet jeg drømte, se, da var et Vintræ for mig.
The chief of the cupbearers told his dream to Joseph. He said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me.
10 Og paa Vintræet vare tre Kviste, og det grønnedes, og dets Blomster fremkom, og Klaserne derpaa fik modne Bær.
In the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms came out and the clusters of grapes ripened.
11 Og Faraos Bæger var i min Haand, og jeg tog Druerne og trykkede dem i Faraos Bæger og gav Farao Bægeret i Haanden.
Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand.”
12 Da sagde Josef til ham: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Vinkviste ere tre Dage.
Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it. The three branches 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.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand, just as when you were his 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 think of me when it goes well with you, and please show kindness to me. Mention me to Pharaoh and bring me out of this prison.
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 indeed I was abducted out of the land of the Hebrews. Here also have I done nothing that they should put me in this dungeon.”
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.
When the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream, and, behold, three baskets of bread were on my head.
17 Og i den øverste Kurv var af alle Haande Mad, Bagværk til Farao, og Fuglene aade det af Kurven paa mit Hoved.
In the top basket there were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Da svarede Josef og sagde: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Kurve ere tre Dage.
Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation. 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.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree. The birds will eat your flesh 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.
It came about on the third day that it was Pharaoh's birthday. He made a feast for all his servants. He lifted up the head of the chief of the cupbearers and the head of the chief of the bakers, among his servants.
21 Og han satte den øverste Mundskænk til sit Skænkeembede igen, og han rakte Bægeret i Faraos Haand.
He restored the chief of the cupbearers to his responsibility, and he put the cup into Pharaoh's hand again.
22 Men den øverste Bager lod han hænge, saasom Josef havde udtydet dem.
But he hanged the chief of the bakers, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Og den øverste Mundskænk tænkte ikke paa Josef, men forglemte ham.
Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot about him.
