Genesis 40
1 And it comes to pass, after these things—the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against 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 is angry against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,
Og Farao blev vred paa begge sine Betjente, paa den øverste Mundskænk og den øverste Bager.
3 and puts them in confinement in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,
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 chief of the executioners charges Joseph with them, and he serves them; and they are in confinement [for some] days.
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 dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt has, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.
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 Joseph comes to them in the morning, and sees them, and behold, they [are] morose;
Og Josef kom til dem om Morgenen og saa dem, og se, de vare bedrøvede.
7 and he asks Pharaoh’s eunuchs who [are] with him in confinement in the house of his lord, saying, “Why [are] your faces sad today?”
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 And they say to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it”; and Joseph says to them, “Are interpretations not with God? Please recount to me.”
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 And the chief of the butlers recounts his dream to Joseph and says to him, “In my dream, then behold, a vine [is] 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 [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up has its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;
Og paa Vintræet vare tre Kviste, og det grønnedes, og dets Blomster fremkom, og Klaserne derpaa fik modne Bær.
11 and Pharaoh’s cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.”
Og Faraos Bæger var i min Haand, og jeg tog Druerne og trykkede dem i Faraos Bæger og gav Farao Bægeret i Haanden.
12 And Joseph says to him, “This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days;
Da sagde Josef til ham: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Vinkviste ere tre Dage.
13 yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head, and has put you back on your station, and you have given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when you were 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 Surely if you have remembered me with you, when it is well with you, and have please done kindness with me, and have made mention of me to Pharaoh, then you have brought me out from 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 really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they have put me in the pit [for].”
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 the chief of the bakers sees that he has interpreted good, and he says to Joseph, “I also [am] in a dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread [are] on my 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 highest basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh’s food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.”
Og i den øverste Kurv var af alle Haande Mad, Bagværk til Farao, og Fuglene aade det af Kurven paa mit Hoved.
18 And Joseph answers and says, “This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
Da svarede Josef og sagde: Denne er Udtydningen derpaa: de tre Kurve ere tre Dage.
19 yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head from off you, and has hanged you on a tree, and the birds have eaten your flesh from off you.”
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 it comes to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he makes a banquet to all his servants, and lifts up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,
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 puts back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he gives the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;
Og han satte den øverste Mundskænk til sit Skænkeembede igen, og han rakte Bægeret i Faraos Haand.
22 and the chief of the bakers he has hanged, as Joseph has interpreted to them;
Men den øverste Bager lod han hænge, saasom Josef havde udtydet dem.
23 and the chief of the butlers has not remembered Joseph, but forgets him.
Og den øverste Mundskænk tænkte ikke paa Josef, men forglemte ham.
