Genesis 40
1 And after these things, the butler of the King of Egypt and his baker offended their lorde the King of Egypt.
Og det hændte sig derefter, at Kongen af Ægyptens Mundskænk og Bager syndede mod deres Herre, Kongen af Ægypten.
2 And Pharaoh was angrie against his two officers, against the chiefe butler, and against the chiefe baker.
Og Farao blev vred paa begge sine Betjente, paa den øverste Mundskænk og den øverste Bager.
3 Therefore he put them in ward in his chiefe stewardes house, in the prison and place where Ioseph was bound.
Og han satte dem i Forvaring i Huset hos Øversten for Livvagten, i Fængslets Hus, paa det Sted, hvor Josef var Fange.
4 And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph charge ouer them, and he serued them: and they continued a season in warde.
Og Øversten for Livvagten beskikkede Josef til at være hos dem, og han betjente dem, og de vare en Tid i Forvaring.
5 And they both dreamed a dreame, eyther of them his dreame in one night, eche one according to the interpretation of his dreame, both the butler and the baker of the King of Egypt, which were bounde in the prison.
Og de drømte begge en Drøm, hver sin Drøm i een Nat, hver sin Drøm efter sin Udtydning, Kongen af Ægyptens Mundskænk og Bager, som vare Fanger i Fængslets Hus.
6 And when Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, beholde, they were sad.
Og Josef kom til dem om Morgenen og saa dem, og se, de vare bedrøvede.
7 And he asked Pharaohs officers, that were with him in his masters warde, saying, Wherefore looke ye so sadly to day?
Og han spurgte Faraos Betjente, som vare med ham i Forvaring i hans Herres Hus, og sagde: Hvi se I saa ilde ud i Dag?
8 Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe.
Og de sagde til ham: Vi drømte en Drøm, og her er ingen, som kan udtyde den. Og Josef sagde til dem: Hører ikke Udtydninger Gud til fortæller mig det dog!
9 So the chiefe butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said vnto him, In my dreame, behold, a vine was before me,
Da fortalte den øverste Mundskænk Josef sin Drøm og sagde til ham: Idet jeg drømte, se, da var et Vintræ for mig.
10 And in the vine were three branches, and as it budded, her flowre came foorth: and the clusters of grapes waxed ripe.
Og paa Vintræet vare tre Kviste, og det grønnedes, og dets Blomster fremkom, og Klaserne derpaa fik modne Bær.
11 And I had Pharaohs cup in mine hande, and I tooke the grapes, and wrung the into Pharaohs cup, and I gaue the cup into Pharaohs hand.
Og Faraos Bæger var i min Haand, og jeg tog Druerne og trykkede dem i Faraos Bæger og gav Farao Bægeret i Haanden.
12 Then Ioseph sayde vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three braunches are three dayes.
Da sagde Josef til ham: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Vinkviste ere tre Dage.
13 Within three dayes shall Pharaoh lift vp thine head, and restore thee vnto thine office, and thou shalt giue Pharaohs cup into his hand after the olde maner, when thou wast his butler.
Om tre Dage skal Farao opløfte dit Hoved og sætte dig i dit Sted igen, at du skal give Faraos Bæger i hans Haand, efter den forrige Vis, der du var hans Mundskænk.
14 But haue me in remembrance with thee, when thou art in good case, and shew mercie, I pray thee, vnto me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring me out of this house.
Men tænk du paa mig, naar det gaar dig vel, og gør da den Miskundhed mod mig, at du erindrer mig hos Farao, at han tager mig ud af dette Hus.
15 For I was stollen away by theft out of the land of the Ebrewes, and here also haue I done nothing, wherefore they should put mee in the dungeon.
Thi jeg er hemmelig stjaalen af de Hebræers Land; dertil har jeg ikke heller her gjort noget, at de have sat mig i Hulen.
16 And when the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretation was good, hee saide vnto Ioseph, Also mee thought in my dreame that I had three white baskets on mine head.
Og der den øverste Bager saa, at han havde udtydet det vel, da sagde han til Josef: Jeg drømte ogsaa, og se, der var tre Kurve med Hvedebrød paa mit Hoved.
17 And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner baken meates for Pharaoh: and the birdes did eate them out of the basket vpon mine head.
Og i den øverste Kurv var af alle Haande Mad, Bagværk til Farao, og Fuglene aade det af Kurven paa mit Hoved.
18 Then Ioseph answered, and saide, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three dayes:
Da svarede Josef og sagde: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Kurve ere tre Dage.
19 Within three dayes shall Pharaoh take thine head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birdes shall eate thy flesh from off thee.
Om tre Dage skal Farao opløfte dit Hoved fra dig og hænge dig paa et Træ, og Fuglene skulle æde dit Kød af dig.
20 And so the third day, which was Pharaohs birthday, hee made a feast vnto all his seruants: and hee lifted vp the head of the chiefe butler, and the head of the chiefe baker among his seruants.
Og det skete paa den tredje Dag, paa Faraos Fødselsdag, da gjorde han alle sine Tjenere et Gæstebud og opløftede den øverste Mundskænks Hoved og den øverste Bagers Hoved iblandt sine Tjenere.
21 And he restored the chiefe butler vnto his butlershippe, who gaue the cup into Pharaohs hande,
Og han satte den øverste Mundskænk til sit Skænkeembede igen, og han rakte Bægeret i Faraos Haand.
22 But he hanged the chiefe baker, as Ioseph had interpreted vnto them.
Men den øverste Bager lod han hænge, saasom Josef havde udtydet dem.
23 Yet the chiefe butler did not remember Ioseph, but forgate him.
Og den øverste Mundskænk tænkte ikke paa Josef, men forglemte ham.
