1 Poslije toga dogodi se, te peharnik cara Misirskoga i hljebar skriviše gospodaru svojemu, caru Misirskom.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and the baker, had sinned against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 I Faraon se razgnjevi na ta dva dvoranina, na starješinu nad peharnicima i na starješinu nad hljebarima;
Then fell the wroth of Pharaoh upon his two courtiers, upon the chief of the butlers, and upon the chief of the bakers;
3 I baci ih u tamnicu u kuæi zapovjednika stražarskoga, gdje Josif bješe sužanj.
so he delivered them up into the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, into the prison, —the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4 A zapovjednik stražarski odredi im Josifa da ih služi; i bijahu dugo u tamnici.
And the chief of the royal executioners charged Joseph with them and he waited upon them, and they were some days in ward.
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 dreamed a dream they two, each man, his dream in one night, each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, —the butler and the baker who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the prison.
6 I sjutradan kad doðe Josif k njima, pogleda ih, a oni bjehu vrlo neveseli.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, —and looked at them, and lo! they were sad.
7 Pa zapita dvorane Faraonove, koji bijahu sužnji s njim u kuæi gospodara njegova, i reèe: što ste danas lica nevesela?
So he asked Pharaoh’s courtiers who were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces troubled to-day!
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.
And they said unto him, A dream, have we dreamed, but there is none, to interpret, it. Then said Joseph unto them—Is it not unto God, that interpretations belong? Relate it. I pray you, to me.
9 I starješina nad peharnicima pripovjedi san svoj Josifu govoreæi: snih, a preda mnom èokot;
And the chief of the butlers related his dream to Joseph, —and said to him, In my dream, then lo! a vine, before me;
10 I na èokotu bjehu tri loze, i napupi i procvate, i grožðe na njemu uzre;
and, in the vine, three shoots, —and the same at sprouting time, had shot up her blossom, and her clusters had brought to perfection ripe grapes.
11 A u ruci mi bješe èaša Faraonova, te pobrah zrelo grožðe i iscijedih ga u èašu Faraonovu, i dodadoh èašu Faraonu.
Now, the cup of Pharaoh, being in my hand, I took the ripe grapes and pressed them out into the cup of Pharaoh, and set the cup upon Pharaoh’s palm.
12 A Josif mu reèe: ovo znaèi: tri su loze tri dana.
And Joseph said to him, This, is the interpretation thereof, —The three shoots are 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.
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office, and thou shalt set the cup of Pharaoh in his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.
14 Ali nemoj zaboraviti mene kad budeš u dobru, uèini milost i pomeni za me Faraonu, i izvadi me iz ove kuæe.
But if thou remember how I was with thee when it shall go well with thee, then wilt thou I pray thee do me a lovingkindness, —and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me forth out of this house;
15 Jer su me ukrali iz zemlje Jevrejske, a ovdje nijesam ništa uèinio da me bace u ovu jamu.
For I was, stolen, out of the land of the Hebrews, —and, even here, had I done nothing, that they should have put me in the dungeon,
16 A kad vidje starješina nad hljebarima kako lijepo kaza san, reèe Josifu: i ja snih, a meni na glavi tri kotarice bijele;
Then the chief of the bakers, seeing that he had well interpreted, said unto Joseph, I, too, was in my dream, when lo! three wicker baskets of fine bread were on my head;
17 I u najgornjoj kotarici bijaše svakojakih kolaèa za Faraona, i ptice jeðahu iz kotarice na mojoj glavi.
and, in the uppermost basket, was some of every kind of food for Pharaoh that a baker could make, —but, the birds, kept eating them out of the basket from off my head.
18 A Josif odgovori i reèe: ovo znaèi: tri kotarice tri su dana.
And Joseph responded and said, This, is the interpretation thereof, The three baskets, are, 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.
In three days more, will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee upon a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
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;
And it came to pass on the third day the birthday of Pharaoh, that he made a banquet for all his servants, and uplifted the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers in the midst of his servants;
21 I povrati starješinu nad peharnicima u službu da dodaje èašu Faraonu;
and restored the chief of the butlers to his butlership, so that he set the cup upon the palm of Pharaoh;
22 A starješinu nad hljebarima objesi, kao što kaza Josif.
but, the chief of the bakers, he hanged, —as, Joseph, had interpreted unto them.
23 I starješina nad peharnicima ne opomenu se Josifa, nego ga zaboravi.
Yet the chief of the butlers made no mention of Joseph but did forget him.
