ഉല്പത്തി 40
1 കുറെ കാലത്തിനുശേഷം ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവിന്റെ വീഞ്ഞുകാരനും അപ്പക്കാരനും തങ്ങളുടെ യജമാനനായ ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവിനെതിരേ തെറ്റുചെയ്തു.
౧ఆ తరువాత ఐగుప్తు రాజుకు గిన్నె అందించేవాడూ, రొట్టెలు చేసేవాడూ తమ యజమాని పట్ల నేరం చేశారు.
2 പ്രധാന വീഞ്ഞുകാരനും പ്രധാന അപ്പക്കാരനും ആയ ഈ രണ്ട് ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്മാരുടെ നേർക്കു ഫറവോനു കോപം ജ്വലിച്ചു.
౨తన ఇద్దరు ఉద్యోగస్థులు, అంటే గిన్నె అందించే వాడి మీదా రొట్టెలు చేసే వాడి మీదా ఫరో కోపగించుకున్నాడు.
3 അദ്ദേഹം അവരെ അംഗരക്ഷകരുടെ അധിപന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ, യോസേഫിനെ സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്ന അതേ കാരാഗൃഹത്തിൽ അടച്ചു.
౩వారిని చెరసాలలో ఉంచడానికి రాజు అంగరక్షకుల అధిపతికి అప్పగించాడు. ఆ చెరసాలలోనే యోసేపును కూడా బంధించారు.
4 അംഗരക്ഷകരുടെ അധിപൻ അവരെ യോസേഫിനെ ഏൽപ്പിക്കുകയും അവൻ അവരെ ശുശ്രൂഷിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. കുറെക്കാലം അവർ തടവിൽ കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ,
౪ఆ అధిపతి వారందరినీ యోసేపు ఆధీనంలో ఉంచాడు. అతడు వారి బాగోగులు చూసేవాడు. వారు కొన్నిరోజులు బందీలుగా ఉన్న తరువాత
5 കാരാഗൃഹത്തിൽ ബന്ധിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്ന അവർ ഇരുവരും—ഈജിപ്റ്റുരാജാവിന്റെ വീഞ്ഞുകാരനും അപ്പക്കാരനും—വ്യത്യസ്ത അർഥം വരുന്ന ഓരോ സ്വപ്നം ഒരേരാത്രിയിൽ കണ്ടു.
౫వారిద్దరూ, అంటే ఐగుప్తు రాజుకు గిన్నె అందించేవాడు, రొట్టెలు చేసేవాడు ఒకే రాత్రి కలలు కన్నారు. ఒక్కొక్కడు వేరు వేరు భావాలతో కల కన్నారు.
6 പിറ്റേന്നു രാവിലെ യോസേഫ് അവരുടെ അടുക്കൽ എത്തിയപ്പോൾ അവർ വിഷാദിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതായി കണ്ടു.
౬ఉదయాన యోసేపు వారి దగ్గరికి వచ్చి చూసినపుడు వారు విచారంగా ఉన్నారు.
7 യജമാനന്റെ ഭവനത്തിൽ തന്നോടൊപ്പം ബന്ധനത്തിൽ ആയിരുന്ന, ഫറവോന്റെ ആ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്മാരോട് അവൻ, “ഇന്നു നിങ്ങളുടെ മുഖം ഇത്ര മ്ലാനമായിരിക്കുന്നതെന്ത്?” എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു.
౭అతడు “మీరెందుకు విచారంగా ఉన్నారు?” అని వారిని అడిగాడు.
8 “ഞങ്ങൾ രണ്ടുപേരും ഓരോ സ്വപ്നം കണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു; എന്നാൽ അവയെ വ്യാഖ്യാനിക്കാൻ ആരുമില്ല,” എന്ന് അവർ ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു. അപ്പോൾ യോസേഫ് അവരോട്, “വ്യാഖ്യാനം ദൈവത്തിനുള്ളതല്ലയോ? നിങ്ങളുടെ സ്വപ്നങ്ങൾ എന്നോടു പറയുക” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
౮అందుకు వారు “మా ఇద్దరికీ ఒక్కో కల వచ్చింది. వాటి అర్థం చెప్పేవాళ్ళు ఎవరూ లేరు” అన్నారు. యోసేపు వారితో “అర్థాలు తెలియచేయడం దేవుని అధీనమే గదా! దయచేసి నాకు చెప్పండి” అన్నాడు.
9 പ്രധാന വീഞ്ഞുകാരൻ തന്റെ സ്വപ്നം യോസേഫിനെ പറഞ്ഞുകേൾപ്പിച്ചു; അവൻ ഇങ്ങനെ വിവരിച്ചു: “എന്റെ സ്വപ്നത്തിൽ ഞാൻ എന്റെമുമ്പിൽ ഒരു മുന്തിരിവള്ളി കണ്ടു.
౯అప్పుడు గిన్నె అందించేవారి నాయకుడు యోసేపుతో “నా కలలో ఒక ద్రాక్షతీగ నా ఎదుట ఉంది.
10 ആ മുന്തിരിവള്ളിക്കു മൂന്നു ശാഖകൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അതു തളിരിട്ടപ്പോൾത്തന്നെ പുഷ്പിക്കുകയും മുന്തിരിക്കുലകൾ പഴുത്തു പാകമാകുകയും ചെയ്തു.
౧౦ఆ ద్రాక్షతీగకు మూడు కొమ్మలున్నాయి. దానికి మొగ్గలొచ్చి పూలు పూసి గెలలు పండి ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు వచ్చాయి.
11 ഫറവോന്റെ പാനപാത്രം എന്റെ കൈയിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു, ഞാൻ മുന്തിരിങ്ങ എടുത്ത് ഫറവോന്റെ പാനപാത്രത്തിലേക്കു പിഴിഞ്ഞൊഴിച്ച് പാത്രം അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കൈയിൽ കൊടുത്തു.”
౧౧ఫరో గిన్నె నా చేతిలో ఉంది. నేను ద్రాక్షపళ్ళు తీసుకుని ఫరో గిన్నెలో వాటిని పిండి ఆ గిన్నె ఫరో చేతికి ఇచ్చాను” అని చెప్పాడు.
12 യോസേഫ് അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു, “അതിന്റെ അർഥം ഇതാണ്: മൂന്നു ശാഖകൾ മൂന്നു ദിവസങ്ങളാണ്.
౧౨అప్పుడు యోసేపు “దాని అర్థం ఇదే. ఆ మూడు కొమ్మలు, మూడు రోజులు.
13 ഫറവോൻ മൂന്നുദിവസത്തിനകം നിന്നെ ഉയർത്തി നിന്റെ പഴയ സ്ഥാനത്ത് ആക്കും; നീ ഫറവോന്റെ പാനപാത്രവാഹകൻ ആയിരുന്നപ്പോൾ ചെയ്തുപോന്നിരുന്നതുപോലെ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പാനപാത്രം അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കൈയിൽ കൊടുക്കും.
౧౩ఇంక మూడు రోజుల్లో ఫరో నిన్ను హెచ్చించి, నువ్వు అతనికి గిన్నె అందించే నీ ఉద్యోగం నీకు మళ్ళీ ఇప్పిస్తాడు.
14 എന്നാൽ നിന്റെ കാര്യങ്ങൾ ശുഭമായിത്തീരുമ്പോൾ എന്നെ ഓർക്കുകയും എന്നോടു ദയ കാണിക്കുകയും വേണം; എന്റെ കാര്യം ഫറവോനോടു പറഞ്ഞ് എന്നെ ഈ തടവറയിൽനിന്ന് മോചിപ്പിക്കേണം.
౧౪అయితే నీకంతా సరి అయినప్పుడు నన్ను గుర్తు చేసుకుని నామీద దయ చూపించు. ఫరో దగ్గర నా గురించి మాట్లాడి ఈ చెరసాల నుండి నేను బయటికి వచ్చేలా చూడు.
15 എബ്രായരുടെ ദേശത്തുനിന്ന് എന്നെ ബലാൽക്കാരമായി പിടിച്ചുകൊണ്ടുവന്നതാണ്; എന്നെ ഇങ്ങനെ തടവറയിൽ അടയ്ക്കാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം ഇവിടെയും ഞാൻ യാതൊന്നുംതന്നെ ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല.”
౧౫ఎందుకంటే నన్ను హెబ్రీయుల దేశం నుండి దొంగిలించి తీసుకొచ్చారు. ఈ చెరసాలలో నన్ను వేయడానికి ఇక్కడ కూడా నేనేమీ నేరం చేయలేదు” అన్నాడు.
16 ശുഭസൂചകമായ വ്യാഖ്യാനമാണു യോസേഫ് നൽകിയതെന്നു കണ്ടിട്ട് പ്രധാന അപ്പക്കാരൻ യോസേഫിനോട്: “ഞാനും ഒരു സ്വപ്നംകണ്ടു: എന്റെ തലയിൽ മൂന്നുകുട്ട അപ്പം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.
౧౬రొట్టెలు చేసే వాడు యోసేపు మంచి అర్థం చెప్పడం చూసి అతనితో “నాకూ ఒక కల వచ్చింది. మూడు రొట్టెల బుట్టలు నా తల మీద ఉన్నాయి.
17 മുകളിലത്തെ കുട്ടയിൽ ഫറവോനുവേണ്ടി ചുട്ടെടുത്ത എല്ലാവിധ ഭക്ഷ്യവസ്തുക്കളും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. എന്നാൽ പക്ഷികൾ എന്റെ തലയിലെ ആ കുട്ടയിൽനിന്ന് അതെല്ലാം തിന്നുകയായിരുന്നു” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
౧౭పై బుట్టలో ఫరో కోసం అన్ని రకాల పిండివంటలు ఉన్నాయి. పక్షులు వచ్చి నా తల మీద ఉన్న ఆ బుట్టలో నుండి వాటిని తిన్నాయి” అన్నాడు.
18 അപ്പോൾ യോസേഫ് അവനോട്, “അതിന്റെ അർഥം ഇതാണ്: മൂന്നുകുട്ടകൾ മൂന്നുദിവസം.
౧౮యోసేపు “దాని అర్థం ఇదే. ఆ మూడు బుట్టలు మూడు రోజులు.
19 ഫറവോൻ മൂന്നുദിവസത്തിനകം നിന്റെ തല വെട്ടിക്കളയുകയും, നിന്നെ ഒരു മരത്തിൽ തൂക്കുകയും ചെയ്യും; പക്ഷികൾ നിന്റെ മാംസം തിന്നുകയും ചെയ്യും” എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
౧౯ఇంక మూడు రోజుల్లో ఫరో నీ తల తీసి చెట్టుకు వేలాడదీస్తాడు. పక్షులు నీ మాంసం తింటాయి” అని జవాబిచ్చాడు.
20 മൂന്നാംദിവസം ഫറവോന്റെ ജന്മദിനം ആയിരുന്നു; അദ്ദേഹം തന്റെ എല്ലാ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്മാർക്കുമായി ഒരു വിരുന്നുസൽക്കാരം നടത്തി. ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്മാരുടെ സാന്നിധ്യത്തിൽ അദ്ദേഹം പ്രധാന വീഞ്ഞുകാരനെയും പ്രധാന അപ്പക്കാരനെയും ഓർത്തു.
౨౦మూడవ రోజు ఫరో పుట్టినరోజు. అతడు తన సేవకులందరికీ విందు చేయించాడు. వారందరిలో గిన్నె అందించేవారి నాయకుడిపైనా రొట్టెలు చేసే వారి నాయకుడిపైనా మిగతా సేవకులందరికంటే ధ్యాస పెట్టాడు.
21 പ്രധാന വീഞ്ഞുകാരനെ അദ്ദേഹം വീണ്ടും അവന്റെ പഴയ സ്ഥാനത്തു നിയമിച്ചു; അങ്ങനെ അവന് വീണ്ടും ഫറവോന്റെ കൈയിൽ പാനപാത്രം കൊടുക്കാൻ സാധിച്ചു.
౨౧గిన్నె అందించేవారి నాయకుని ఉద్యోగం అతనికి తిరిగి ఇచ్చాడు, కాబట్టి అతడు ఫరో చేతికి మళ్ళీ గిన్నె అందించాడు.
22 എന്നാൽ പ്രധാന അപ്പക്കാരനെ, യോസേഫ് വ്യാഖ്യാനത്തിൽ അവനോട് അറിയിച്ചിരുന്നതുപോലെ ഫറവോൻ തൂക്കിക്കൊന്നു.
౨౨యోసేపు చెప్పినట్టుగా రొట్టెలు చేసేవారి నాయకుణ్ణి ఉరి తీయించాడు.
23 എന്നാൽ പ്രധാന വീഞ്ഞുകാരൻ യോസേഫിനെ ഓർത്തില്ല; അദ്ദേഹം യോസേഫിനെ പാടേ മറന്നുകളഞ്ഞു.
౨౩అయితే గిన్నె అందించేవారి నాయకుడు యోసేపుకు చేస్తానన్న సాయం గురించి పట్టించుకోలేదు. అసలు అతని గురించి మరచిపోయాడు.
