Genesis 40

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and his baker, offended their lord the king of Egypt.

١ وَاتَّفَقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ سَاقِيَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَالْخَبَّازَ أَذْنَبَا إِلَى سَيِّدِهِمَا مَلِكِ مِصْرَ،

2 And Pharaoh was angry against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

٢ فَسَخَطَ فِرْعَوْنُ عَلَى خَصِيَّيْهِ: رَئِيسِ السُّقَاةِ وَرَئِيسِ الْخَبَّازِينَ،

3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

٣ وَزَجَّهُمَا فِي مُعْتَقَلِ بَيْتِ رَئِيسِ الْحَرَسِ فِي السِّجْنِ، فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُوسُفُ مَحْبُوساً فِيهِ.

4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered to them. And they continued a season in ward.

٤ فَوَلَّى رَئِيسُ الْحَرَسِ يُوسُفَ أَمْرَهُمَا، فَقَامَ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِمَا، فَمَكَثَا فِي الْمُعْتَقَلِ أَيَّاماً.

5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

٥ وَحَلُمَ كُلٌّ مِنْ سَاقِي مَلِكِ مِصْرَ وَخَبَّازِهِ الْمُعْتَقَلَيْنِ فِي السِّجْنِ حُلْماً فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. وَكَانَ لِحُلْمِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمَا مَعْنَاهُ الْخَاصُّ بِصَاحِبِهِ.

6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.

٦ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا يُوسُفُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ فَوَجَدَهُمَا مُكْتَئِبَيْنِ.

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Why do ye look so sad today?

٧ فَسَأَلَهُمَا: «لِمَاذَا وَجْهَاكُمَا مُكَمَّدَانِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ؟»

8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, I pray you.

٨ فَأَجَابَاهُ: «حَلُمَ كُلٌّ مِنَّا حُلْماً وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُفَسِّرُهُ». فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «أَلَيْسَتْ تَفَاسِيرُ الأَحْلامِ لِلهِ؟ حَدِّثَانِي بِهِمَا».

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.

٩ فَسَرَدَ رَئِيسُ السُّقَاةِ حُلْمَهُ عَلَى يُوسُفَ. قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ فِي حُلْمِي وَإذَا كَرْمَةٌ أَمَامِي،

10 And in the vine were three branches. And it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.

١٠ فِيهَا ثَلاثَةُ أَغْصَانٍ أَفْرَخَتْ ثُمَّ أَزْهَرَتْ، وَمَا لَبِثَتْ عَنَاقِيدُهَا أَنْ أَثْمَرَتْ عِنَباً نَاضِجاً.

11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

١١ وَكَانَتْ كَأْسُ فِرْعَوْنَ فِي يَدِي، فَتَنَاوَلْتُ الْعِنَبَ وَعَصَرْتُهُ فِي كَأْسِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَوَضَعْتُ الْكَأْسَ فِي يَدِهِ».

12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

١٢ فَقَالَ لَهُ يُوسُفُ: «إِلَيْكَ تَفْسِيرَهُ: الثَّلاثَةُ الأَغْصَان هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ.

13 Within yet three days Pharaoh shall lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office. And thou shall give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou was his butler.

١٣ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَرْضَى عَنْكَ فِرْعَوْنُ، وَيَرُدُّكَ إِلَى مَنْزِلَتِكَ حَيْثُ تُنَاوِلُ فِرْعَوْنَ كَأْسَهُ، تَمَاماً كَمَا كُنْتَ مُعْتَاداً أَنْ تَفْعَلَ عِنْدَمَا كُنْتَ سَاقِيَهُ.

14 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

١٤ إِنَّمَا إِذَا أَصَابَكَ خَيْرٌ فَاذْكُرْنِي وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ. اذْكُرْنِي لَدَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ هَذَا السِّجْنِ،

15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

١٥ لأَنَّنِي حُمِلْتُ عَنْوَةً مِنْ أَرْضِ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ، وَهُنَا أَيْضاً لَمْ أَجْنِ شَيْئاً لِيَزُجُّوا بِي فِي هَذَا السِّجْنِ».

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

١٦ وَعِنْدَمَا رَأَى رَئِيسُ الْخَبَّازِينَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ أَحْسَنَ التَّفْسِيرَ، قَالَ لَهُ: «رَأَيْتُ أَنَا أَيْضاً حُلْماً، وَإذَا بِثَلاثَةِ سِلالٍ بَيْضَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِي.

17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

١٧ وَكَانَ السَّلُّ الأَعْلَى مَلِيئاً مِنْ طَعَامِ فِرْعَوْنَ مِمَّا يُعِدُّهُ الْخَبَّازُ، إِلّا أَنَّ الطُّيُورَ كَانَتْ تَلْتَهِمُهُ مِنَ السَّلِّ الَّذِي عَلَى رَأْسِي».

18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

١٨ فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «إِلَيْكَ تَفْسِيرَهُ: الثَّلاثَةُ السِّلالُ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ

19 Within yet three days Pharaoh shall lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

١٩ بَعْدَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَقْطَعُ فِرْعَوْنُ رَأْسَكَ وَيُعَلِّقُكَ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ فَتَأْكُلُ الطُّيُورُ لَحْمَكَ».

20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

٢٠ وَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ هُوَ يَوْمُ عِيدِ مِيلادِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأَقَامَ مَأْدُبَةً لِجَمِيعِ رِجَالِهِ، وَأَحْضَرَ مِنَ السِّجْنِ رَئِيسَ السُّقَاةِ وَرَئِيسَ الْخَبَّازِينَ أَمَامَهُمْ.

21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand,

٢١ وَرَدَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقَاةِ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، فَصَارَ يُقَدِّمُ الْكَأْسَ لِيَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ.

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

٢٢ أَمَّا رَئِيسُ الْخَبَّازِينَ فَقَدْ عَلَّقَهُ (عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ) مِثْلَمَا فَسَّرَ لَهُمَا يُوسُفُ حُلْمَيْهِمَا.

23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

٢٣ وَلَكِنَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقَاةِ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ يُوسُفَ بَلْ نَسِيَهُ.
