Kejadian 40
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian dua pelayan raja Mesir, yaitu pengurus minuman dan pengurus rotinya, membuat kesalahan terhadap raja.
Later on the cupbearer and the baker committed some offense against their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Maka marahlah raja kepada kedua pelayannya itu,
Pharaoh was angry with these two royal officials—the chief cupbearer and chief baker—
3 lalu mereka dimasukkannya ke dalam penjara di rumah kepala pengawal istana, di tempat Yusuf ditahan.
and imprisoned them in the house of the commander of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was.
4 Lama juga mereka di penjara itu, dan kepala pengawal istana menugaskan Yusuf untuk melayani mereka.
The commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them as their personal attendant. They were kept in prison for some time.
5 Pada suatu malam pengurus minuman dan pengurus roti itu masing-masing bermimpi. Arti mimpi mereka itu tidak sama.
One night while they were in prison the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt each had a dream. They were different dreams, each with its own meaning.
6 Ketika Yusuf datang kepada mereka keesokan paginya, mereka kelihatan sedih.
When Joseph arrived the next morning he noticed they both looked depressed.
7 Lalu ia bertanya, "Mengapa Saudara-saudara begitu sedih hari ini?"
So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were imprisoned with him in his master's house, “Why are you looking so depressed?”
8 Jawab mereka, "Tadi malam kami mimpi, dan tidak ada yang tahu artinya." Kata Yusuf, "Cuma Allah yang memungkinkan orang menerangkan arti mimpi. Coba ceritakan mimpimu itu."
“We've both had dreams but can't find anyone to explain what they mean,” they said. So Joseph told them, “Isn't God the one who can interpret the meaning of dreams? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Pengurus minuman itu berkata, "Dalam mimpi itu saya melihat ada pohon anggur di depan saya.
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. “In my dream there was a vine right in front of me,” he explained.
10 Pohon itu bercabang tiga. Baru saja cabang-cabangnya mulai berdaun, segera bunga-bunganya berkembang, lalu buahnya menjadi masak.
“The vine had three branches. As soon as it budded, it flowered, and produced clusters of ripe grapes.
11 Pada waktu itu saya sedang memegang gelas minuman raja, jadi saya ambil buah anggur itu dan saya peras ke dalam gelas raja, lalu saya hidangkan kepadanya."
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup, so I picked the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to Pharaoh.”
12 Yusuf berkata, "Inilah keterangannya: Tiga cabang itu artinya tiga hari.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three branches represent three days.
13 Dalam tiga hari ini raja akan membebaskan engkau, ia akan mengampuni engkau dan mengembalikan engkau kepada jabatanmu yang dahulu. Engkau akan menghidangkan gelas minuman kepada raja seperti dahulu.
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and give you back your job, and you will hand Pharaoh his cup as you used to.
14 Tetapi ingatlah kepada saya apabila keadaanmu sudah baik. Tolong sampaikan persoalan saya kepada raja, supaya saya dibebaskan dari penjara ini.
But when things go well for you, please remember me with kindness and speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and please get me out of this prison.
15 Sebab, sebetulnya dahulu saya diculik dari negeri orang Ibrani dan di sini pun, di Mesir ini, tidak pernah saya melakukan sesuatu kejahatan sampai harus dimasukkan ke dalam penjara."
I was cruelly kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in this pit even though I've done nothing wrong.”
16 Setelah pengurus roti itu tahu bahwa arti mimpi pengurus minuman itu baik, maka dia pun berkata kepada Yusuf, "Saya bermimpi juga, saya menjunjung tiga buah keranjang roti di atas kepala.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was positive, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream. I had three baskets of cakes on my head.
17 Dalam keranjang yang paling atas terdapat bermacam-macam kue-kue untuk raja, tetapi burung-burung datang memakan kue-kue itu."
In the top basket were all the cakes and pastries for Pharaoh to eat, and the birds were eating them from the basket on my head.”
18 Jawab Yusuf, "Inilah keterangan mimpi itu: Tiga keranjang itu artinya tiga hari.
“This is the meaning,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets represent three days.
19 Dalam tiga hari ini raja akan menyuruh orang memenggal kepalamu lalu menggantungkan mayatmu pada sebuah tiang, dan burung-burung akan makan dagingmu."
In three days' time Pharaoh will take you out of prison and hang you on a pole, and birds will eat your flesh.”
20 Tiga hari kemudian adalah hari ulang tahun raja, dan ia mengadakan pesta besar bagi semua pegawai. Ia memerintahkan supaya pengurus minuman dan pengurus roti dikeluarkan dari penjara dan dibawa ke hadapan semua pegawai istana.
Three days later it happened to be Pharaoh's birthday, and he arranged a banquet for all his officials. He had the chief cupbearer and the chief baker released from prison and brought there before his officials.
21 Pengurus minuman dikembalikannya kepada jabatan yang dahulu.
He gave the chief cupbearer his job back, and he returned to his duties of handing Pharaoh his cup.
22 Tetapi pengurus roti dihukum mati. Semuanya itu terjadi sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan Yusuf.
But he hanged the chief baker just as Joseph had said when he interpreted their dreams.
23 Tetapi pengurus minuman itu tidak ingat lagi kepada Yusuf. Ia sama sekali lupa padanya.
But the chief cupbearer didn't remember to say anything about Joseph—in fact he forgot all about him.
