Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against 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 Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
Och Pharao vardt vred uppå dem,
3 And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.
Och lät sätta dem i hofmästarens hus i fängelse, der Joseph låg fången.
4 And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.
Och hofmästaren satte Joseph öfver dem, att han skulle tjena dem; och de såto några dagar.
5 And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.
Och både skänken och bakaren drömde om ena natt hvar sin dröm, och hvars deras dröm hade sin uttydelse.
6 Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
Då nu Joseph kom om morgonen in till dem, och såg dem ångse,
7 And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?
Frågade han dem, och sade: Hvi ären I så ångse i dag?
8 And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.
De svarade: Oss hafver drömt, och vi hafvom ingen, som oss det utlägger. Joseph sade: Utläggningen hörer Gudi till; dock förtäljer mig det.
9 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream 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 stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
Det hade tre grenar; det grönskades, växte och blomstrades, och dess drufvor vordo mogna:
11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao'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 stems are three days.
Joseph sade: Detta är uttydningen: Tre grenar äro tre dagar.
13 Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.
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 But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.
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 surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.
Ty jag är hemliga bortstulen utaf de Ebreers lande: Så hafver jag ock här intet gjort, att de mig insatt hafva.
16 And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.
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 upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on 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 to him, 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 Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.
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 on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.
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 cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao'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 baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.
Men den öfversta bakaren lät han hänga; som Joseph hade uttydt honom.
23 Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Men den öfverste skänken tänkte intet på Joseph, utan förgat honom.
