1 Мојсијева 40
1 После тога догоди се, те пехарник цара мисирског и хлебар скривише господару свом, цару мисирском.
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 И Фараон се разгневи на та два дворанина, на старешину над пехарницима и на старешину над хлебарима;
The king became angry with both of them.
3 И баци их у тамницу у кући заповедника стражарског, где Јосиф беше сужањ.
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 А заповедник стражарски одреди им Јосифа да их служи; и беху дуго у тамници.
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 И уснише сан обојица у једну ноћ, сваки по значењу свог сна за себе, и пехарник и хлебар цара мисирског, који беху сужњи у тамници.
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 И сутрадан кад дође Јосиф к њима, погледа их, а они беху врло невесели.
The next morning, when Joseph came to them, he saw that both of them were dejected/worried.
7 Па запита дворане Фараонове, који беху сужњи с њим у кући господара његовог, и рече: Што сте данас лица невеселог?
So he asked them, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 А они му рекоше: Сан уснисмо обојица, а нема ко да нам каже шта значе. А Јосиф им рече: Шта значе, није ли у Бога? Али приповедите ми.
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 И старешина над пехарницима приповеди сан свој Јосифу говорећи: Сних, а преда мном чокот;
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 И на чокоту беху три лозе, и напупи и процвате, и грожђе на њему узре;
On the vine there were three branches. After the branches budded, they blossomed, and then they produced clusters of grapes.
11 А у руци ми беше чаша Фараонова, те побрах зрело грожђе и исцедих га у чашу Фараонову, и додадох чашу Фараону.
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 А Јосиф му рече: Ово значи: три су лозе три дана.
[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 Још три дана, и Фараон бројећи своје дворане узеће и тебе, и опет те поставити у пређашњу службу, и опет ћеш му додавати чашу као и пре док си му био пехарник.
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 Али немој заборавити мене кад будеш у добру, учини милост и помени за ме Фараону, и изведи ме из ове куће.
But when you are out of prison and everything goes well for you, please do not forget me.
15 Јер су ме украли из земље јеврејске, а овде нисам ништа учинио да ме баце у ову јаму.
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 А кад виде старешина над хлебарима како лепо каза сан, рече Јосифу: и ја сних, а мени на глави три котарице беле;
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 И у најгорњој котарици беше свакојаких колача за Фараона, и птице јеђаху из котарице на мојој глави.
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 А Јосиф одговори и рече: Ово значи: три котарице три су дана.
God again told Joseph what the dream meant, so he said, “The three baskets also represent three days.
19 Још три дана, и Фараон бројећи дворане своје избациће те и обесиће те на вешала, и птице ће јести с тебе месо.
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 И кад дође трећи дан, то беше дан у који се родио Фараон, и учини Фараон гозбу свим слугама својим, и наиђе међу слугама својим на старешину над пехарницима и на старешину над хлебарима;
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 И поврати старешину над пехарницима у службу да додаје чашу Фараону;
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 А старешину над хлебарима обеси, као што каза Јосиф.
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 И старешина над пехарницима не опомену се Јосифа, него га заборави.
But the chief drink-server did not think about Joseph. He forgot to do what Joseph asked him to do.
