Genesis 40
1 It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
Nogen Tid efter hændte det, at Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager forbrød sig mod deres Herre Ægypterkongen,
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
og Farao vrededes på sine to Hofmænd, Overmundskænken og Overbageren,
3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
og lod dem sætte i Forvaring i Livvagtens Øverstes Hus, i samme Fængsel, hvor Josef sad fængslet;
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
og Livvagtens Øverste gav dem Josef til Opvartning, og han gik dem til Hånde. Da de nu havde været i Forvaring en Tid lang,
5 And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
drømte Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager, som sad i Fængselet, samme Nat hver sin Drøm med sin særlige Betydning.
6 Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
Da Josef om Morgenen kom ind til Faraos Hofmænd, der sammen med ham var i Forvaring i hans Herres Hus, og så, at de var nedslåede,
7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
spurgte han dem: "Hvorfor ser I så ulykkelige ud i Dag?"
8 They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
Besvarede: "Vi har haft en Drøm, og her er ingen, som kan tyde den." Da sagde Josef til dem: "Er det ikke Guds Sag at tyde Drømme? Fortæl mig det da!"
9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
Så fortalte Overmundskænken Josef sin Drøm og sagde: "Jeg så i Drømme en Vinstok for mig;
10 and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
på Vinstokken var der tre Ranker, og næppe havde den sat Skud. før Blomsterne sprang ud, og Klaserne bar modne Druer;
11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
og jeg havde Faraos Bæger i Hånden og tog Druerne og pressede dem i Faraos Bæger og rakte Farao det."
12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Ranker betyder tre Dage;
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
om tre Dage skal Farao løfte dit Hoved og genindsætte dig i dit Embede, så du atter rækker Farao Bægeret som før, da du var hans Mundskænk.
14 But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
Vilde du nu blot tænke på mig, når det går dig vel, og vise mig Godhed og omtale mig for Farao og således hjælpe mig ud af dette Hus;
15 For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
thi jeg er stjålet fra Hebræernes Land og har heller ikke her gjort noget, de kunde sætte mig i Fængsel for."
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
Da nu Overbageren så, at Josef gav Mundskænken en gunstig Tydning, sagde han til ham: "Jeg havde en lignende Drøm: Se, jeg bar tre Kurve Hvedebrød på mit Hoved.
17 In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
I den øverste Kurv var der alle Hånde Bagværk til Faraos Bord, men Fuglene åd det af Kurven på mit Hoved!"
18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Kurve betyder tre Dage;
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
om tre Dage skal Farao løfte dit Hoved og hænge dig op på en Pæl, og Fuglene skal æde Kødet af din Krop!"
20 And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Tre Dage efter, da det var Faraos Fødselsdag, gjorde han et Gæstebud for alle sine Tjenere, og da løftede han Overmundskænkens og Overbagerens, Hoveder iblandt sine Tjenere.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
Overmundskænken genindsatte han i hans Embede, så han atter rakte Farao Bægeret,
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
og Overbageren lod han hænge, som Josef havde tydet det for dem.
23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Men Overmundskænken tænkte ikke på Josef; han glemte ham.
