Postanak 40
1 Poslije toga dogodi se, te peharnik cara Misirskoga i hljebar skriviše gospodaru svojemu, caru Misirskom.
While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
2 I Faraon se razgnjevi na ta dva dvoranina, na starješinu nad peharnicima i na starješinu nad hljebarima;
And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
3 I baci ih u tamnicu u kuæi zapovjednika stražarskoga, gdje Josif bješe sužanj.
sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
4 A zapovjednik stražarski odredi im Josifa da ih služi; i bijahu dugo u tamnici.
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
5 I usniše san obojica u jednu noæ, svaki po znaèenju svojega sna za sebe, i peharnik i hljebar cara Misirskoga, koji bijahu sužnji u tamnici.
And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
6 I sjutradan kad doðe Josif k njima, pogleda ih, a oni bjehu vrlo neveseli.
And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
7 Pa zapita dvorane Faraonove, koji bijahu sužnji s njim u kuæi gospodara njegova, i reèe: što ste danas lica nevesela?
he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
8 A oni mu rekoše: san usnismo obojica, a nema ko da nam kaže šta znaèe. A Josif im reèe: šta znaèe, nije li u Boga? ali pripovjedite mi.
They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
9 I starješina nad peharnicima pripovjedi san svoj Josifu govoreæi: snih, a preda mnom èokot;
The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
10 I na èokotu bjehu tri loze, i napupi i procvate, i grožðe na njemu uzre;
on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
11 A u ruci mi bješe èaša Faraonova, te pobrah zrelo grožðe i iscijedih ga u èašu Faraonovu, i dodadoh èašu Faraonu.
And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
12 A Josif mu reèe: ovo znaèi: tri su loze tri dana.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
13 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeæi svoje dvorane uzeæe i tebe, i opet te postaviti u preðašnju službu, i opet æeš mu dodavati èašu kao i preðe dok si mu bio peharnik.
after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
14 Ali nemoj zaboraviti mene kad budeš u dobru, uèini milost i pomeni za me Faraonu, i izvadi me iz ove kuæe.
Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.
15 Jer su me ukrali iz zemlje Jevrejske, a ovdje nijesam ništa uèinio da me bace u ovu jamu.
For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”
16 A kad vidje starješina nad hljebarima kako lijepo kaza san, reèe Josifu: i ja snih, a meni na glavi tri kotarice bijele;
The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head,
17 I u najgornjoj kotarici bijaše svakojakih kolaèa za Faraona, i ptice jeðahu iz kotarice na mojoj glavi.
and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
18 A Josif odgovori i reèe: ovo znaèi: tri kotarice tri su dana.
Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
19 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeæi dvorane svoje izbaciæe te i objesiæe te na vješala, i ptice æe jesti s tebe meso.
after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
20 I kad doðe treæi dan, to bješe dan u koji se rodio Faraon, i uèini Faraon gozbu svima slugama svojim, i naiðe meðu slugama svojim na starješinu nad peharnicima i na starješinu nad hljebarima;
The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
21 I povrati starješinu nad peharnicima u službu da dodaje èašu Faraonu;
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup;
22 A starješinu nad hljebarima objesi, kao što kaza Josif.
the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
23 I starješina nad peharnicima ne opomenu se Josifa, nego ga zaboravi.
And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
