Kejadian 40
1 Sesudah semuanya itu terjadilah, bahwa juru minuman raja Mesir dan juru rotinya membuat kesalahan terhadap tuannya, raja Mesir itu,
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).
2 maka murkalah Firaun kepada kedua pegawai istananya, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti itu.
The king became angry with both of them.
3 Ia menahan mereka dalam rumah kepala pengawal raja, dalam penjara tempat Yusuf dikurung.
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.
4 Kepala pengawal raja menempatkan Yusuf bersama-sama dengan mereka untuk melayani mereka. Demikianlah mereka ditahan beberapa waktu lamanya.
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.
5 Pada suatu kali bermimpilah mereka keduanya--baik juru minuman maupun juru roti raja Mesir, yang ditahan dalam penjara itu--masing-masing ada mimpinya, pada satu malam juga, dan mimpi masing-masing itu ada artinya sendiri.
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.
6 Ketika pada waktu pagi Yusuf datang kepada mereka, segera dilihatnya, bahwa mereka bersusah hati.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Lalu ia bertanya kepada pegawai-pegawai istana Firaun yang ditahan bersama-sama dengan dia dalam rumah tuannya itu: "Mengapakah hari ini mukamu semuram itu?"
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Jawab mereka kepadanya: "Kami bermimpi, tetapi tidak ada orang yang dapat mengartikannya." Lalu kata Yusuf kepada mereka: "Bukankah Allah yang menerangkan arti mimpi? Ceritakanlah kiranya mimpimu itu kepadaku."
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.”
9 Kemudian juru minuman itu menceritakan mimpinya kepada Yusuf, katanya: "Dalam mimpiku itu tampak ada pohon anggur di depanku.
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.
10 Pohon anggur itu ada tiga carangnya dan baru saja pohon itu bertunas, bunganya sudah keluar dan tandan-tandannya penuh buah anggur yang ranum.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 Dan di tanganku ada piala Firaun. Buah anggur itu kuambil, lalu kuperas ke dalam piala Firaun, kemudian kusampaikan piala itu ke tangan Firaun."
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.”
12 Kata Yusuf kepadanya: "Beginilah arti mimpi itu: ketiga carang itu artinya tiga hari;
[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.
13 dalam tiga hari ini Firaun akan meninggikan engkau dan mengembalikan engkau ke dalam pangkatmu yang dahulu dan engkau akan menyampaikan piala ke tangan Firaun seperti dahulu kala, ketika engkau jadi juru minumannya.
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.
14 Tetapi, ingatlah kepadaku, apabila keadaanmu telah baik nanti, tunjukkanlah terima kasihmu kepadaku dengan menceritakan hal ihwalku kepada Firaun dan tolonglah keluarkan aku dari rumah ini.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Sebab aku dicuri diculik begitu saja dari negeri orang Ibrani dan di sinipun aku tidak pernah melakukan apa-apa yang menyebabkan aku layak dimasukkan ke dalam liang tutupan ini."
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!”
16 Setelah dilihat oleh kepala juru roti, betapa baik arti mimpi itu, berkatalah ia kepadanya: "Akupun bermimpi juga. Tampak aku menjunjung tiga bakul berisi penganan.
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.
17 Dalam bakul atas ada berbagai-bagai makanan untuk Firaun, buatan juru roti, tetapi burung-burung memakannya dari dalam bakul yang di atas kepalaku."
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!”
18 Yusuf menjawab: "Beginilah arti mimpi itu: ketiga bakul itu artinya tiga hari;
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 dalam tiga hari ini Firaun akan meninggikan engkau, tinggi ke atas, dan menggantung engkau pada sebuah tiang, dan burung-burung akan memakan dagingmu dari tubuhmu."
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.”
20 Dan terjadilah pada hari ketiga, hari kelahiran Firaun, maka Firaun mengadakan perjamuan untuk semua pegawainya. Ia meninggikan kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti itu di tengah-tengah para pegawainya:
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.
21 kepala juru minuman itu dikembalikannya ke dalam jabatannya, sehingga ia menyampaikan pula piala ke tangan Firaun;
He said that his chief drink-server could have his previous job again, so that again he took cups of wine to the king.
22 tetapi kepala juru roti itu digantungnya, seperti yang ditakbirkan Yusuf kepada mereka.
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.
23 Tetapi Yusuf tidaklah diingat oleh kepala juru minuman itu, melainkan dilupakannya.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
