< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Waktu pun berlalu. Pada suatu hari, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti di istana membuat kesalahan terhadap raja Mesir.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Raja sangat marah terhadap kedua pegawai istananya itu
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
dan memerintahkan supaya mereka dimasukkan ke dalam penjara yang diawasi oleh komandan pengawal raja, yakni tempat Yusuf ditahan.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
Komandan pengawal menugaskan Yusuf untuk mengurus kebutuhan dua tahanan itu. Lama mereka dikurung di sana.
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were] bound in the prison.
Suatu malam, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti sama-sama bermimpi. Mimpi mereka berbeda dan memiliki arti masing-masing.
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
Keesokan harinya, ketika Yusuf bertemu kedua pegawai istana itu, mereka kelihatan sedang bersusah hati.
7 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to day?
Maka Yusuf bertanya kepada mereka, “Mengapa hari ini kalian tampak murung? Ada apa?”
8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
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 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
Lalu kepala juru minuman menceritakan mimpinya kepada Yusuf, “Dalam mimpi itu, saya melihat ada pohon anggur di depan saya.
10 And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Pohon anggur itu bercabang tiga. Pada ketiga cabangnya tumbuh tunas, kemudian bunga, lalu buah.
11 And Pharaoh’s cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
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 And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days:
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga cabang berarti tiga hari.
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Dalam tiga hari, raja akan membebaskan dan mengembalikanmu pada jabatan yang dulu. Kamu akan kembali menyajikan minuman kepada raja seperti sebelum kamu dipenjara.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
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 indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me 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 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three white baskets on 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 the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
Keranjang yang paling atas berisi macam-macam roti untuk raja. Tetapi burung-burung datang dan memakannya dari keranjang di atas kepala saya itu.”
18 And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:
Jawab Yusuf, “Inilah arti mimpimu: Tiga keranjang berarti tiga hari.
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Dalam tiga hari, raja akan memerintahkan supaya kepalamu dipenggal dan mayatmu digantung pada sebuah tiang. Lalu burung-burung akan memakan dagingmu.”
20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
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 chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
Kepala juru minuman dikembalikan kepada jabatannya semula untuk menyajikan anggur kepada raja,
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
sedangkan kepala juru roti dihukum mati. Semua itu terjadi tepat seperti yang dikatakan Yusuf.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Namun, kepala juru minuman tidak ingat kepada Yusuf. Dia melupakannya.
