Gênesis 40
1 Depois destas coisas, o mordomo do rei do Egito e seu padeiro ofenderam seu senhor, o rei do Egito.
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 O Faraó ficou furioso com seus dois oficiais, o copeiro chefe e o padeiro chefe.
The king became angry with both of them.
3 Ele os colocou sob custódia na casa do capitão da guarda, na prisão, o lugar onde José estava amarrado.
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 O capitão da guarda os destinou a Joseph, e ele cuidou deles. Eles permaneceram na prisão por muitos dias.
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 Ambos sonharam um sonho, cada homem seu sonho, em uma noite, cada homem de acordo com a interpretação de seu sonho, o portador da taça e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que estavam amarrados na prisão.
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 José chegou até eles pela manhã, e os viu, e viu que estavam tristes.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Ele perguntou aos oficiais do Faraó que estavam com ele sob custódia na casa de seu mestre, dizendo: “Por que você parece tão triste hoje”?
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Eles lhe disseram: “Sonhamos um sonho, e não há ninguém que possa interpretá-lo”. Joseph disse-lhes: “As interpretações não pertencem a Deus? Por favor, diga-me isso”.
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 O chefe da copa contou seu sonho a José, e disse-lhe: “Em meu sonho, eis que uma videira estava na minha frente,
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 e na videira havia três ramos. Era como se ela brotasse, florescesse e seus cachos produzissem uvas maduras.
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 A taça do Faraó estava na minha mão; e eu peguei as uvas e as espremi na taça do Faraó, e dei a taça na mão do Faraó”.
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 Joseph disse-lhe: “Esta é sua interpretação: os três ramos são três dias”.
[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 Dentro de mais três dias, o Faraó levantará sua cabeça, e o restituirá ao seu escritório. Você dará a taça do Faraó em sua mão, da mesma forma que você fez quando era seu portador da taça.
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 Mas lembre-se de mim quando estiver bem com você. Por favor, mostre bondade comigo, faça menção de mim ao Faraó e me tire desta casa.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Pois de fato, fui roubado da terra dos hebreus, e aqui também nada fiz para que eles me colocassem no calabouço”.
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 Quando o padeiro chefe viu que a interpretação era boa, ele disse a Joseph: “Eu também estava em meu sonho, e eis que três cestas de pão branco estavam sobre minha cabeça.
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 Na cesta mais alta havia todo tipo de comida cozida para o Faraó, e os pássaros os comiam da cesta na minha cabeça”.
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 Joseph respondeu: “Esta é sua interpretação”. As três cestas são de três dias.
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 Dentro de mais três dias, o Faraó levantará sua cabeça de cima de você, e o pendurará em uma árvore; e os pássaros comerão sua carne de cima de você”.
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 No terceiro dia, que foi o aniversário do Faraó, ele fez um banquete para todos os seus servos, e levantou a cabeça do copeiro chefe e a cabeça do padeiro chefe entre seus servos.
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 Ele restaurou o chefe portador da taça e entregou a taça na mão do Faraó;
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 mas ele enforcou o chefe padeiro, como José havia interpretado para eles.
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 No entanto, o chefe da taça não se lembrava de Joseph, mas esqueceu-o.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
