1 Mosebok 40
1 Ei tid etter dette hadde gjenge fyre seg, hende det at skjenkjaren og bakaren åt kongen i Egyptarland forsåg seg mot herren sin, kongen i Egyptarland.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker committed an offense, against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 Og Farao vart harm på båe hirdmennerne sine, skjenkjarmeisteren og bakarmeisteren,
And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 og sette deim faste hjå hovdingen yver livvakti, i tårnet, der Josef sat fanga.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guards, into the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
4 Og hovdingen yver livvakti sette Josef til å sjå til deim, og han gjekk deim til handa. Og dei vart sitjande ei tid i fangehuset.
And the captain of the guards charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in ward.
5 Ein gong hadde dei kvar sin draum, båe tvo, skjenkaren og bakaren åt kongen i Egyptarland, dei som sat fanga i tårnet; i ei og same natti hadde dei kvar sin draum, og draumarne deira hadde kvar si meining.
And they dreamed a dream, both of them, each his dream in one night, each in accordance with the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.
6 Og då Josef kom inn til deim um morgonen, såg han det på deim at dei var i ulag.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked at them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 Då tala han til hirdmennerne åt Farao, deim som sat fengsla med honom hjå husbonden hans, og spurde: «Kvi er de so sturne av dykk i dag?»
And he asked the officers of Pharaoh that were with him in ward in his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly today?
8 «Me hev drøymt, » svara dei, «og det er ingen som kann tyda draumarne våre.» Då sagde Josef med deim: «Er det ikkje Gud som råder for uttydingi! Seg de meg kva de hev drøymt!»
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it to me, I pray you.
9 So fortalde skjenkjarmeisteren Josef draumen sin og sagde med honom: «Eg tykte so skilleg det stod eit vintre framfyre meg,
The chief of the butlers then told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 og på det vintreet var det tri greiner. Og det syntest skjota knuppar, blomarne spratt, kartarne mogna til druvor.
And on the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded, shot forth its blossoms, and on its clusters the grapes became ripe:
11 Og staupet åt Farao heldt eg i handi, og druvorne tok eg og kreista utor deim upp i staupet åt Farao, og so rette eg staupet til Farao.»
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them out into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 Og Josef sagde med honom: «Dette er so å tyda: Dei tri greinerne, det er tri dagar.
And Joseph said unto him, This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days;
13 Når det lid um tri dagar, skal Farao retta upp hovudet ditt og setja deg inn att i romet ditt, og du skal retta staupet til Farao, som du fyrr var van med å gjera, den tid du var skjenkjaren hans.
Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thy office; and thou shalt place Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14 Men kom no i hug meg, når du hev fenge det godt! Kjære væne, gjer vel og tala um meg til Farao, so eg kann koma ut or dette huset!
Therefore if thou thinkest on me when it shall be well with thee, then show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
15 For eg er stolen frå Hebræarlandet, og her hev eg ikkje heller gjort noko som dei skulde setja meg i fangeholet for.»
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I not done the least that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 Då bakarmeisteren såg at han hadde gjeve so god ei uttyding, sagde han med Josef: «Eg tykte so skilleg eg bar tri korger med kveitebrød uppå hovudet.
And when the chief of the bakers saw that he had well interpreted, he said unto Joseph, I also [saw] in my dream, and, behold, I had three baskets with fine bread on my head:
17 Og i den øvste korgi var allslags kakor, som var baka åt Farao, og fuglarne åt deim upp utor korgi på hovudet mitt.»
And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats, used as food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket from my head.
18 Og Josef tok til ords og sagde: «Dette er so å tyda: Dei tri korgerne, det er tri dagar.
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days;
19 Når det lid um tri dagar, skal Farao retta upp hovudet ditt og hogge det av deg; so skal han hengja deg i eit tre, og fuglarne skal eta kjøtet av deg.»
Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and will hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 So hende det den tridje dagen - det var årmålsdagen åt Farao - då gjorde han eit gjestebod for alle mennerne sine; og han rette upp hovudet åt skjenkjarmeisteren og bakarmeisteren imillom mennerne sine.
And it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants.
21 Han sette skjenkjarmeisteren inn att i embættet hans, so han fekk retta staupet til Farao,
And he restored the chief of the butlers unto his butlership; and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;
22 og bakarmeisteren hengde han, so som Josef hadde spått deim.
But the chief of the bakers he hanged, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Men skjenkjarmeisteren kom ikkje i hug Josef; han gløymde honom.
Yet the chief of the butlers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
