< 창세기 40 >
1 그 후에 애굽 왕의 술 맡은 자와 떡 굽는 자가 그 주 애굽 왕에게 범죄한지라
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 바로가 그 두 관원장 곧 술 맡은 관원장과 떡 굽는 관원장에게 노하여
The king became angry with both of them.
3 그들을 시위대장의 집 안에 있는 옥에 가두니 곧 요셉의 갇힌 곳이라
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 시위대장이 요셉으로 그들에게 수종하게 하매 요셉이 그들을 섬겼더라 그들이 갇힌 지 수 일이라
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 옥에 갇힌 애굽 왕의 술 맡은 자와 떡 굽는 자 두 사람이 하룻밤에 꿈을 꾸니 각기 몽조가 다르더라
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 아침에 요셉이 들어가 보니 그들에게 근심 빛이 있는지라
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 요셉이 그 주인의 집에 자기와 함께 갇힌 바로의 관원장에게 묻되 당신들이 오늘 어찌하여 근심 빛이 있나이까
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 그들이 그에게 이르되 우리가 꿈을 꾸었으나 이를 해석할 자가 없도다 요셉이 그들에게 이르되 해석은 하나님께 있지 아니하니이까 청컨대 내게 고하소서
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 술 맡은 관원장이 그 꿈을 요셉에게 말하여 가로되 내가 꿈에 보니 내 앞에 포도나무가 있는데
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 그 나무에 세 가지가 있고 싹이 나서 꽃이 피고 포도송이가 익었고
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 내 손에 바로의 잔이 있기로 내가 포도를 따서 그 즙을 바로의 잔에 짜서 그 잔을 바로의 손에 드렸노라
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 요셉이 그에게 이르되 그 해석이 이러하니 세 가지는 사흘이라
[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 지금부터 사흘 안에 바로가 당신의 머리를 들고 당신의 전직을 회복하리니 당신이 이왕에 술 맡은 자가 되었을 때에 하던 것 같이 바로의 잔을 그 손에 받들게 되리이다
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 당신이 득의하거든 나를 생각하고 내게 은혜를 베풀어서 내 사정을 바로에게 고하여 이 집에서 나를 건져내소서
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 나는 히브리 땅에서 끌려온 자요 여기서도 옥에 갇힐 일은 행치 아니하였나이다
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 떡 굽는 관원장이 그 해석이 길함을 보고 요셉에게 이르되 나도 꿈에 보니 흰 떡 세 광주리가 내 머리에 있고
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 그 윗광주리에 바로를 위하여 만든 각종 구운 식물이 있는데 새들이 내 머리의 광주리에서 그것을 먹더라
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 요셉이 대답하여 가로되 그 해석은 이러하니 세 광주리는 사흘이라
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 지금부터 사흘 안에 바로가 당신의 머리를 끊고 당신을 나무에 달리니 새들이 당신의 고기를 뜯어 먹으리이다 하더니
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 제삼일은 바로의 탄일이라 바로가 모든 신하를 위하여 잔치할 때에 술 맡은 관원장과 떡 굽는 관원장으로 머리를 그 신하 중에 들게 하니라
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 바로의 술 맡은 관원장은 전직을 회복하매 그가 잔을 바로의 손에 받들어 드렸고
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 떡 굽는 관원장은 매여 달리니 요셉이 그들에게 해석함과 같이 되었으나
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 술 맡은 관원장이 요셉을 기억지 않고 잊었더라
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
