Genesis 40
1 Some time later, two of the king of Egypt’s officials did things that displeased him. One was his chief (drink-server/man who prepared the wine and served it to the king), and the other was his chief (baker/man who baked bread for the king).
| مدتی پس از زندانی شدن یوسف، رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان فرعون به سَروَر خود، پادشاه مصر، خیانت ورزیدند. |
2 The king became angry with both of them.
| فرعون بر این دو خدمتگزار خود خشمگین شده، |
3 So he had them put in prison, in the house of the captain of the palace guards. That was the place where Joseph was being kept.
| آنها را به زندان رئیس نگهبانان دربار که یوسف در آنجا بود، انداخت. |
4 The two men were in prison for a long time. And during that time the captain of the palace guards appointed Joseph to be their servant, to take care of their needs.
| آنها مدت طولانی در زندان ماندند و رئیس نگهبانان یوسف را به خدمت آنها گماشت. |
5 One night while the king’s drink-server and his baker were there in the prison, each of them had a dream. Each dream had a different meaning.
| یک شب هر دو آنها خواب دیدند. |
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
| صبح روز بعد، یوسف دید که آنها ناراحت هستند. |
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
| پس، از آنها که همراه او در زندان سَروَرش بودند، پرسید: «چرا امروز غمگین هستید؟» |
8 One of them answered, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one who can tell us the meaning of the dreams.” Joseph said to them, “God is the only one who can [RHQ] tell the meaning of dreams. So tell me what you dreamed, and God will tell me the meaning.”
| گفتند: «دیشب ما هر دو خواب دیدیم و کسی نیست که آن را تعبیر کند.» یوسف گفت: «تعبیر کردن خوابها کار خداست. به من بگویید چه خوابهایی دیده‌اید؟» |
9 So the king’s chief drink-server told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream I saw a grapevine in front of me.
| اول رئیس ساقیان خوابی را که دیده بود، برای یوسف تعریف کرد: «دیشب در خواب درخت انگوری را دیدم که سه شاخه داشت. ناگاه شاخه‌ها شکفتند و خوشه‌های زیادی انگور رسیده دادند. |
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 I was holding the king’s cup, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to the king to drink the juice.”
| من جام شراب فرعون را در دست داشتم، پس خوشه‌های انگور را چیده، در جام فشردم و به او دادم تا بنوشد.» |
12 [God immediately told Joseph what the dream meant]. So Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of your dream: The three branches of the vine represent three days.
| یوسف گفت: «تعبیر خواب تو این است: منظور از سه شاخه، سه روز است. |
13 Within three days the king will release you from prison. He will let you do the work that you did before. You will take cups of wine to the king as you did before, when you were his drink-server.
| تا سه روز دیگر فرعون تو را از زندان آزاد کرده، دوباره ساقی خود خواهد ساخت. |
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
| پس خواهش می‌کنم وقتی دوباره مورد لطف او قرار گرفتی، مرا به یاد آور و سرگذشتم را برای فرعون شرح بده و از او خواهش کن تا مرا از این زندان آزاد کند. |
15 People took me away forcefully from the land where my fellow Hebrews live. [I did nothing wrong there], and also while I have been here in Egypt, I have done nothing for which I deserved to be put in prison. So be kind to me and tell the king about me, so that he will release me from this prison!”
| زیرا مرا که عبرانی هستم از وطنم دزدیده، به اینجا آورده‌اند. حالا هم بدون آنکه مرتکب جرمی شده باشم، مرا در زندان انداخته‌اند.» |
16 When the chief baker heard that the meaning of the dream of the king’s drink-server was very favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. In the dream I was surprised to see three baskets of bread stacked on my head.
| وقتی رئیس نانوایان دید که تعبیر خواب دوستش خیر بود، او نیز خواب خود را برای یوسف بیان کرده، گفت: «در خواب دیدم که سه سبد پر از نان روی سر خود دارم. |
17 In the top basket there were many kinds of baked goods for the king, but birds were eating them from the top basket that was on my head!”
| در سبد بالایی چندین نوع نان برای فرعون گذاشته بودم، اما پرندگان آمده آنها را خوردند.» |
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
| یوسف به او گفت: «تعبیر خواب این است: سه سبد، سه روز است. |
19 Within three days the king will command that your head be cut off. Then your body will be hung on a tree, and vultures will come and eat your flesh.”
| سه روز دیگر فرعون سرت را از تنت جدا کرده، بدنت را به دار می‌آویزد و پرندگان آمده گوشت بدنت را خواهند خورد.» |
20 The third day after that was the (king’s birthday/day they celebrated when the king became one year older). On that day the king invited all his officials to celebrate his birthday. During the celebration, while they were all gathered there, the king summoned his chief drink-server and chief baker from the prison.
| سه روز بعد، جشن تولد فرعون بود و به همین مناسبت ضیافتی برای مقامات مملکتی ترتیب داد. او فرستاد تا رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان را از زندان به حضورش آورند. |
21 He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
| سپس رئیس ساقیان را به کار سابقش گمارد، |
22 But he commanded that the chief baker should be killed by being hanged, just as Joseph had said would happen when he told the two men the meaning of their dreams.
| ولی رئیس نانوایان را به دار آویخت، همان‌طور که یوسف گفته بود. |
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
| اما رئیس ساقیان یوسف را به یاد نیاورد. |
