Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Och det begaf sig derefter, att Konungens i Egypten höfvitsman öfver skänkerna, och höfvitsmannen öfver bakarena, bröto deras herra Konungenom i Egypten emot.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
Och Pharao vardt vred uppå dem,
3 and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
Och lät sätta dem i hofmästarens hus i fängelse, der Joseph låg fången.
4 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.
Och hofmästaren satte Joseph öfver dem, att han skulle tjena dem; och de såto några dagar.
5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
Och både skänken och bakaren drömde om ena natt hvar sin dröm, och hvars deras dröm hade sin uttydelse.
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
Då nu Joseph kom om morgonen in till dem, och såg dem ångse,
7 And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
Frågade han dem, och sade: Hvi ären I så ångse i dag?
8 And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
De svarade: Oss hafver drömt, och vi hafvom ingen, som oss det utlägger. Joseph sade: Utläggningen hörer Gudi till; dock förtäljer mig det.
9 Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Då förtäljde skänken sin dröm för Joseph, och sade till honom: Mig drömde, att ett vinträ var för mig:
10 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
Det hade tre grenar; det grönskades, växte och blomstrades, och dess drufvor vordo mogna:
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Och jag hade Pharaos skänkekar i mine hand, och tog och kryste dem i skänkekaret, och fick Pharao skänkekaret i handena.
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
Joseph sade: Detta är uttydningen: Tre grenar äro tre dagar.
13 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
Efter tre dagar skall Pharao upphäfva ditt hufvud, och sätta dig åter till dit ämbete, att du får honom skänkekaret i hans hand, såsom tillförene, då du var hans skänk.
14 Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
Men tänk uppå mig, då dig går väl, och gör barmhertighet med mig, att du Pharao ingifver, att han tager mig utaf detta huset;
15 for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Ty jag är hemliga bortstulen utaf de Ebreers lande: Så hafver jag ock här intet gjort, att de mig insatt hafva.
16 And when the chief of the bakers 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.
Då bakaren såg, att uttydningen var god, sade han till Joseph: Mig hafver ock drömt, att jag bar tre flätade korgar på mitt hufvud;
17 And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Och i öfversta korgenom allahanda bakad mat till Pharaos behof; och foglarne åto af korgenom på mitt hufvud.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
Joseph svarade, och sade: Detta är uttydningen: Tre korgar äro tre dagar.
19 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
Och efter tre dagar skall Pharao upphäfva ditt hufvud, och hänga dig i en galga; och foglarne skola äta ditt kött på dig.
20 And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
Och det hände tredje dagen, då begick Pharao sin årsdag, och han gjorde alla sina tjenare ena måltid: Och upphof den öfversta skänkens hufvud, och den öfversta bakarens, ibland sina tjenare;
21 And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Och satte den öfversta skänken åter till sitt skänkeämbete, att han skulle få Pharao skänkekaret i handena;
22 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Men den öfversta bakaren lät han hänga; som Joseph hade uttydt honom.
23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
Men den öfverste skänken tänkte intet på Joseph, utan förgat honom.
