Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Nogen Tid efter hændte det, at Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager forbrød sig mod deres Herre Ægypterkongen,
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two [of] his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
og Farao vrededes på sine to Hofmænd, Overmundskænken og Overbageren,
3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
og lod dem sætte i Forvaring i Livvagtens Øverstes Hus, i samme Fængsel, hvor Josef sad fængslet;
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.
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 they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream; the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who [were] bound in the prison.
drømte Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager, som sad i Fængselet, samme Nat hver sin Drøm med sin særlige Betydning.
6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, 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 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye [so] sad to-day?
spurgte han dem: "Hvorfor ser I så ulykkelige ud i Dag?"
8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
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 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
Så fortalte Overmundskænken Josef sin Drøm og sagde: "Jeg så i Drømme en Vinstok for mig;
10 And on the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes:
på Vinstokken var der tre Ranker, og næppe havde den sat Skud. før Blomsterne sprang ud, og Klaserne bar modne Druer;
11 And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave 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 And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days;
Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Ranker betyder tre Dage;
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
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 think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
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 stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
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 good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and behold, [I had] three white baskets 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 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
I den øverste Kurv var der alle Hånde Bagværk til Faraos Bord, men Fuglene åd det af Kurven på mit Hoved!"
18 And Joseph answered, and said, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three baskets [are] three days:
Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Kurve betyder tre Dage;
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
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 came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and 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 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave 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 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Men Overmundskænken tænkte ikke på Josef; han glemte ham.
