Genesis 40
1 After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, 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 Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
Raja sangat marah terhadap kedua pegawai istananya itu
3 He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was 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, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
Komandan pengawal menugaskan Yusuf untuk mengurus kebutuhan dua tahanan itu. Lama mereka dikurung di sana.
5 And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
Suatu malam, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti sama-sama bermimpi. Mimpi mereka berbeda dan memiliki arti masing-masing.
6 And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
Keesokan harinya, ketika Yusuf bertemu kedua pegawai istana itu, mereka kelihatan sedang bersusah hati.
7 He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
Maka Yusuf bertanya kepada mereka, “Mengapa hari ini kalian tampak murung? Ada apa?”
8 They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
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 butler first told his dream: 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 branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:
Pohon anggur itu bercabang tiga. Pada ketiga cabangnya tumbuh tunas, kemudian bunga, lalu buah.
11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
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 answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga cabang berarti tiga hari.
13 After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
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 shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take 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 was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
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 baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon 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 that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of 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 answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga keranjang berarti tiga hari.
19 After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy 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 after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
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 gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
sedangkan kepala juru roti dihukum mati. Semua itu terjadi tepat seperti yang dikatakan Yusuf.
23 But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
Namun, kepala juru minuman tidak ingat kepada Yusuf. Dia melupakannya.
