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).
После сего виночерпий царя Египетского и хлебодар провинились пред господином своим, царем Египетским.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
И прогневался фараон на двух царедворцев своих, на главного виночерпия и на главного хлебодара,
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.
и отдал их под стражу в дом начальника телохранителей, в темницу, в место, где заключен был Иосиф.
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.
Начальник телохранителей приставил к ним Иосифа, и он служил им. И пробыли они под стражею несколько времени.
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.
Однажды виночерпию и хлебодару царя Египетского, заключенным в темнице, виделись сны, каждому свой сон, обоим в одну ночь, каждому сон особенного значения.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
И пришел к ним Иосиф поутру, увидел их, и вот, они в смущении.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
И спросил он царедворцев фараоновых, находившихся с ним в доме господина его под стражею, говоря: отчего у вас сегодня печальные лица?
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.”
Они сказали ему: нам виделись сны; а истолковать их некому. Иосиф сказал им: не от Бога ли истолкования? расскажите мне.
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.
И рассказал главный виночерпий Иосифу сон свой и сказал ему: мне снилось, вот виноградная лоза предо мною;
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
на лозе три ветви; она развилась, показался на ней цвет, выросли и созрели на ней ягоды;
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.”
и чаша фараонова в руке у меня; я взял ягод, выжал их в чашу фараонову и подал чашу в руку фараону.
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.
И сказал ему Иосиф: вот истолкование его: три ветви - это три дня;
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.
через три дня фараон вознесет главу твою и возвратит тебя на место твое, и ты подашь чашу фараонову в руку его, по прежнему обыкновению, когда ты был у него виночерпием;
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
вспомни же меня, когда хорошо тебе будет, и сделай мне благодеяние, и упомяни обо мне фараону, и выведи меня из этого дома,
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!”
ибо я украден из земли Евреев; а также и здесь ничего не сделал, за что бы бросить меня в темницу.
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.
Главный хлебодар увидел, что истолковал он хорошо, и сказал Иосифу: мне также снилось: вот на голове у меня три корзины решетчатых;
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!”
в верхней корзине всякая пища фараонова, изделие пекаря, и птицы небесные клевали ее из корзины на голове моей.
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
И отвечал Иосиф и сказал ему: вот истолкование его: три корзины - это три дня;
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.”
через три дня фараон снимет с тебя голову твою и повесит тебя на дереве, и птицы небесные будут клевать плоть твою с тебя.
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.
На третий день, день рождения фараонова, сделал он пир для всех слуг своих и вспомнил о главном виночерпии и главном хлебодаре среди слуг своих;
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.
и возвратил главного виночерпия на прежнее место, и он подал чашу в руку фараону,
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.
а главного хлебодара повесил на дереве, как истолковал им Иосиф.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
И не вспомнил главный виночерпий об Иосифе, но забыл его.
