Genesis 40
1 While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
Waktu pun berlalu. Pada suatu hari, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti di istana membuat kesalahan terhadap raja Mesir.
2 And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
Raja sangat marah terhadap kedua pegawai istananya itu
3 sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
dan memerintahkan supaya mereka dimasukkan ke dalam penjara yang diawasi oleh komandan pengawal raja, yakni tempat Yusuf ditahan.
4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
Komandan pengawal menugaskan Yusuf untuk mengurus kebutuhan dua tahanan itu. Lama mereka dikurung di sana.
5 And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
Suatu malam, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti sama-sama bermimpi. Mimpi mereka berbeda dan memiliki arti masing-masing.
6 And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
Keesokan harinya, ketika Yusuf bertemu kedua pegawai istana itu, mereka kelihatan sedang bersusah hati.
7 he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
Maka Yusuf bertanya kepada mereka, “Mengapa hari ini kalian tampak murung? Ada apa?”
8 They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
Jawab mereka, “Tadi malam kami bermimpi, tetapi tidak ada yang bisa mengartikan mimpi-mimpi kami.” Jawab Yusuf, “Hanya Allah yang tahu arti mimpi. Ceritakanlah kepada saya, dan dengan pertolongan-Nya, saya akan menerangkan arti mimpi kalian.”
9 The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
Lalu kepala juru minuman menceritakan mimpinya kepada Yusuf, “Dalam mimpi itu, saya melihat ada pohon anggur di depan saya.
10 on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
Pohon anggur itu bercabang tiga. Pada ketiga cabangnya tumbuh tunas, kemudian bunga, lalu buah.
11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
Saat itu saya sedang memegang gelas minum raja. Saya memetik beberapa buah anggur dan memerasnya ke dalam gelas itu, lalu saya hidangkan kepada raja.”
12 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga cabang berarti tiga hari.
13 after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
Dalam tiga hari, raja akan membebaskan dan mengembalikanmu pada jabatan yang dulu. Kamu akan kembali menyajikan minuman kepada raja seperti sebelum kamu dipenjara.
14 Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.
Namun, waktu kamu sudah bebas nanti dan keadaanmu sudah baik, tolong jangan lupakan saya. Bantulah saya untuk keluar dari penjara ini. Berbaik hatilah kepada saya dengan memberitahu raja tentang saya.
15 For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”
Dulu, saya diculik dan dibawa paksa dari negeri orang Ibrani. Di sini pun saya dipenjarakan karena tuduhan yang tidak pernah saya lakukan.”
16 The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head,
Ketika kepala juru roti melihat bahwa mimpi kepala juru minuman itu memiliki arti yang baik, dia pun berkata kepada Yusuf, “Aku juga bermimpi. Dalam mimpiku, ada tiga keranjang roti di atas kepalaku.
17 and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
Keranjang yang paling atas berisi macam-macam roti untuk raja. Tetapi burung-burung datang dan memakannya dari keranjang di atas kepala saya itu.”
18 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga keranjang berarti tiga hari.
19 after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
Dalam tiga hari, raja akan memerintahkan supaya kepalamu dipenggal dan mayatmu digantung pada sebuah tiang. Lalu burung-burung akan memakan dagingmu.”
20 The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
Tiga hari kemudian adalah hari ulang tahun raja. Dia mengadakan pesta dan mengundang semua pejabatnya. Pada pesta tersebut, raja mengeluarkan kedua pegawainya dari penjara.
21 And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup;
Kepala juru minuman dikembalikan kepada jabatannya semula untuk menyajikan anggur kepada raja,
22 the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
sedangkan kepala juru roti dihukum mati. Semua itu terjadi tepat seperti yang dikatakan Yusuf.
23 And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
Namun, kepala juru minuman tidak ingat kepada Yusuf. Dia melupakannya.
