Kejadian 40
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian dua pelayan raja Mesir, yaitu pengurus minuman dan pengurus rotinya, membuat kesalahan terhadap raja.
After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 Maka marahlah raja kepada kedua pelayannya itu,
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
3 lalu mereka dimasukkannya ke dalam penjara di rumah kepala pengawal istana, di tempat Yusuf ditahan.
He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 Lama juga mereka di penjara itu, dan kepala pengawal istana menugaskan Yusuf untuk melayani mereka.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
5 Pada suatu malam pengurus minuman dan pengurus roti itu masing-masing bermimpi. Arti mimpi mereka itu tidak sama.
They both dreamt a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
6 Ketika Yusuf datang kepada mereka keesokan paginya, mereka kelihatan sedih.
Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
7 Lalu ia bertanya, "Mengapa Saudara-saudara begitu sedih hari ini?"
He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
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."
They said to him, “We have dreamt a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
9 Pengurus minuman itu berkata, "Dalam mimpi itu saya melihat ada pohon anggur di depan saya.
The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,
10 Pohon itu bercabang tiga. Baru saja cabang-cabangnya mulai berdaun, segera bunga-bunganya berkembang, lalu buahnya menjadi masak.
and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced 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."
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.”
12 Yusuf berkata, "Inilah keterangannya: Tiga cabang itu artinya tiga hari.
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are 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.
Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.
14 Tetapi ingatlah kepada saya apabila keadaanmu sudah baik. Tolong sampaikan persoalan saya kepada raja, supaya saya dibebaskan dari penjara ini.
But remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
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."
For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”
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 good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were 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 uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Jawab Yusuf, "Inilah keterangan mimpi itu: Tiga keranjang itu artinya tiga hari.
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are 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."
Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”
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.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker amongst his servants.
21 Pengurus minuman dikembalikannya kepada jabatan yang dahulu.
He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
22 Tetapi pengurus roti dihukum mati. Semuanya itu terjadi sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan Yusuf.
but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Tetapi pengurus minuman itu tidak ingat lagi kepada Yusuf. Ia sama sekali lupa padanya.
Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.
