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).
Más tarde, el copero y el panadero cometieron alguna ofensa contra su amo, el rey de Egipto.
2 The king became angry with both of them.
El Faraón se enojó con estos dos oficiales reales – el copero y el panadero principal—
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.
y los encarceló en la casa del comandante de la guardia, la misma prisión donde estaba José.
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.
El comandante de la guardia les asignó a José como su asistente personal. Fueron mantenidos en prisión por algún tiempo.
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.
Una noche, mientras estaban en la cárcel, el copero y el panadero del rey de Egipto tuvieron un sueño. Eran sueños diferentes, cada uno con su propio significado.
6 The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
Cuando José llegó a la mañana siguiente notó que ambos parecían deprimidos.
7 So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Así que le preguntó a los oficiales del faraón que estaban presos con él en la casa de su amo, “¿Por qué te ves tan deprimido?”
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.”
“Los dos hemos tenido sueños, pero no encontramos a nadie que nos explique lo que significan”, dijeron. Así que José les dijo, “¿No es Dios el que puede interpretar el significado de los sueños? Cuéntame tus sueños”
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.
El copero principal le contó a José su sueño. “En mi sueño había una vid justo delante de mí”, explicó.
10 On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
“La vid tenía tres ramas. Tan pronto como brotaba, florecía y producía racimos de uvas maduras.
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.”
Yo sostenía la copa de vino del Faraón, así que recogí las uvas y las metí en la copa y se la di al Faraón”.
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.
“Este es el significado”, le dijo José. “Las tres ramas representan tres días.
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.
Dentro de tres días el Faraón te sacará de la cárcel y te devolverá tu trabajo, y tú le entregarás al Faraón su copa como solías hacerlo.
14 But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
Pero cuando las cosas te vayan bien, por favor, acuérdate de mi y habla con el Faraón en mi nombre, y por favor sácame de esta prisión.
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!”
Fui cruelmente secuestrado en la tierra de los hebreos, y ahora estoy aquí en esta fosa a pesar de que no he hecho nada malo”.
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.
Cuando el jefe de los panaderos vio que la interpretación era positiva, le dijo a José: “Yo también tuve un sueño. Tenía tres cestas de pasteles en mi cabeza.
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!”
En la cesta de arriba estaban todos los pasteles y pastas para que los comiera el Faraón, y los pájaros se los comían de la cesta de mi cabeza”.
18 God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
“Este es el significado”, le dijo José. “Las tres cestas representan tres días.
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.”
Dentro de tres días el Faraón te sacará de la cárcel y te colgará en un palo, y los pájaros se comerán tu carne”.
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.
Tres días más tarde era el cumpleaños del Faraón, y organizó un banquete para todos sus oficiales. Hizo que el copero y el panadero jefe fueran liberados de la prisión y llevados allí ante sus oficiales.
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.
Le devolvió el trabajo al copero jefe y volvió a sus deberes de entregar al Faraón su copa.
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.
Pero colgó al jefe de los panaderos tal como José había dicho cuando interpretó sus sueños.
23 But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
Pero el copero jefe no se acordó de decir nada sobre José; de hecho, se olvidó de él.
