مدتی پس از زندانی شدن یوسف، رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان فرعون به سَروَر خود، پادشاه مصر، خیانت ورزیدند. 1
After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
فرعون بر این دو خدمتگزار خود خشمگین شده، 2
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
آنها را به زندان رئیس نگهبانان دربار که یوسف در آنجا بود، انداخت. 3
He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
آنها مدت طولانی در زندان ماندند و رئیس نگهبانان یوسف را به خدمت آنها گماشت. 4
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
یک شب هر دو آنها خواب دیدند. 5
They both dreamed 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.
صبح روز بعد، یوسف دید که آنها ناراحت هستند. 6
Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
پس، از آنها که همراه او در زندان سَروَرش بودند، پرسید: «چرا امروز غمگین هستید؟» 7
He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
گفتند: «دیشب ما هر دو خواب دیدیم و کسی نیست که آن را تعبیر کند.» یوسف گفت: «تعبیر کردن خوابها کار خداست. به من بگویید چه خوابهایی دیده‌اید؟» 8
They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
اول رئیس ساقیان خوابی را که دیده بود، برای یوسف تعریف کرد: «دیشب در خواب درخت انگوری را دیدم که سه شاخه داشت. ناگاه شاخه‌ها شکفتند و خوشه‌های زیادی انگور رسیده دادند. 9
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
and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
من جام شراب فرعون را در دست داشتم، پس خوشه‌های انگور را چیده، در جام فشردم و به او دادم تا بنوشد.» 11
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.”
یوسف گفت: «تعبیر خواب تو این است: منظور از سه شاخه، سه روز است. 12
Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
تا سه روز دیگر فرعون تو را از زندان آزاد کرده، دوباره ساقی خود خواهد ساخت. 13
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.
پس خواهش می‌کنم وقتی دوباره مورد لطف او قرار گرفتی، مرا به یاد آور و سرگذشتم را برای فرعون شرح بده و از او خواهش کن تا مرا از این زندان آزاد کند. 14
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.
زیرا مرا که عبرانی هستم از وطنم دزدیده، به اینجا آورده‌اند. حالا هم بدون آنکه مرتکب جرمی شده باشم، مرا در زندان انداخته‌اند.» 15
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.”
وقتی رئیس نانوایان دید که تعبیر خواب دوستش خیر بود، او نیز خواب خود را برای یوسف بیان کرده، گفت: «در خواب دیدم که سه سبد پر از نان روی سر خود دارم. 16
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.
در سبد بالایی چندین نوع نان برای فرعون گذاشته بودم، اما پرندگان آمده آنها را خوردند.» 17
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.”
یوسف به او گفت: «تعبیر خواب این است: سه سبد، سه روز است. 18
Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.
سه روز دیگر فرعون سرت را از تنت جدا کرده، بدنت را به دار می‌آویزد و پرندگان آمده گوشت بدنت را خواهند خورد.» 19
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.”
سه روز بعد، جشن تولد فرعون بود و به همین مناسبت ضیافتی برای مقامات مملکتی ترتیب داد. او فرستاد تا رئیس ساقیان و رئیس نانوایان را از زندان به حضورش آورند. 20
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 among his servants.
سپس رئیس ساقیان را به کار سابقش گمارد، 21
He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
ولی رئیس نانوایان را به دار آویخت، همان‌طور که یوسف گفته بود. 22
but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
اما رئیس ساقیان یوسف را به یاد نیاورد. 23
Yet the chief cup bearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
