Genesis 40
1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
| مدتی پس از زندانی شدن یوسف، رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان فرعون به سَروَر خود، پادشاه مصر، خیانت ورزیدند. |
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
| فرعون بر این دو خدمتگزار خود خشمگین شده، |
3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
| آنها را به زندان رئیس نگهبانان دربار که یوسف در آنجا بود، انداخت. |
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
| آنها مدت طولانی در زندان ماندند و رئیس نگهبانان یوسف را به خدمت آنها گماشت. |
5 both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
| یک شب هر دو آنها خواب دیدند. |
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
| صبح روز بعد، یوسف دید که آنها ناراحت هستند. |
7 So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
| پس، از آنها که همراه او در زندان سَروَرش بودند، پرسید: «چرا امروز غمگین هستید؟» |
8 “We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
| گفتند: «دیشب ما هر دو خواب دیدیم و کسی نیست که آن را تعبیر کند.» یوسف گفت: «تعبیر کردن خوابها کار خداست. به من بگویید چه خوابهایی دیده‌اید؟» |
9 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
| اول رئیس ساقیان خوابی را که دیده بود، برای یوسف تعریف کرد: «دیشب در خواب درخت انگوری را دیدم که سه شاخه داشت. ناگاه شاخه‌ها شکفتند و خوشه‌های زیادی انگور رسیده دادند. |
10 and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
| من جام شراب فرعون را در دست داشتم، پس خوشه‌های انگور را چیده، در جام فشردم و به او دادم تا بنوشد.» |
12 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
| یوسف گفت: «تعبیر خواب تو این است: منظور از سه شاخه، سه روز است. |
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
| تا سه روز دیگر فرعون تو را از زندان آزاد کرده، دوباره ساقی خود خواهد ساخت. |
14 But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.
| پس خواهش می‌کنم وقتی دوباره مورد لطف او قرار گرفتی، مرا به یاد آور و سرگذشتم را برای فرعون شرح بده و از او خواهش کن تا مرا از این زندان آزاد کند. |
15 For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
| زیرا مرا که عبرانی هستم از وطنم دزدیده، به اینجا آورده‌اند. حالا هم بدون آنکه مرتکب جرمی شده باشم، مرا در زندان انداخته‌اند.» |
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
| وقتی رئیس نانوایان دید که تعبیر خواب دوستش خیر بود، او نیز خواب خود را برای یوسف بیان کرده، گفت: «در خواب دیدم که سه سبد پر از نان روی سر خود دارم. |
17 In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
| در سبد بالایی چندین نوع نان برای فرعون گذاشته بودم، اما پرندگان آمده آنها را خوردند.» |
18 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
| یوسف به او گفت: «تعبیر خواب این است: سه سبد، سه روز است. |
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
| سه روز دیگر فرعون سرت را از تنت جدا کرده، بدنت را به دار می‌آویزد و پرندگان آمده گوشت بدنت را خواهند خورد.» |
20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
| سه روز بعد، جشن تولد فرعون بود و به همین مناسبت ضیافتی برای مقامات مملکتی ترتیب داد. او فرستاد تا رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان را از زندان به حضورش آورند. |
21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
| سپس رئیس ساقیان را به کار سابقش گمارد، |
22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
| ولی رئیس نانوایان را به دار آویخت، همان‌طور که یوسف گفته بود. |
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
| اما رئیس ساقیان یوسف را به یاد نیاورد. |
