1 Mojzes 40
1 Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da sta točaj egiptovskega kralja in njegov pek užalila njunega gospoda, egiptovskega kralja.
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Faraon je bil ogorčen zoper dva izmed svojih častnikov, zoper šefa točajev in zoper šefa pekov.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 Zaprl ju je v hišo poveljnika straže, v ječo, kraj, kjer je bil zvezan Jožef.
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 Poveljnik straže je Jožefa zadolžil z njima in ta jima je stregel in [neko] razdobje sta ostala v ječi.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 Sanjala sta oba izmed njiju, vsak človek svoje sanje v isti noči, vsak človek glede na razlago svojih sanj, točaj in pek egiptovskega kralja, ki sta bila zvezana v ječi.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 Jožef je zjutraj prišel k njima, pogledal nanju in glej, bila sta žalostna.
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 Vprašal je faraonova častnika, ki sta bila z njim v ječi hiše njegovega gospodarja, rekoč: »Zakaj sta danes videti tako žalostna?«
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8 Odgovorila sta mu: »Sanjala sva sanje, pa ni nobenega razlagalca le-teh.« Jožef jima je rekel: » Ali razlage ne pripadajo Bogu? Povejta mi jih, prosim vaju.«
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Glavni točaj je svoje sanje povedal Jožefu in mu rekel: »V mojih sanjah, glej, je bil pred menoj vinski trs,
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10 in na vinskem trsu so bile tri mladike in te so bile kakor bi vzbrstele in bi njihovo cvetje poganjalo in bi njihovi šopi obrodili zrelo grozdje.
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 V moji roki je bila faraonova čaša in vzel sem grozdje ter ga stisnil v faraonovo čašo in čašo podal v faraonovo roko.«
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12 Jožef mu je rekel: »To je razlaga: ›Tri mladike so trije dnevi.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
13 Že v treh dneh bo faraon povzdignil tvojo glavo in te ponovno postavil na tvoje mesto in faraonovo čašo boš po prejšnji navadi, ko si bil njegov točaj, izročal v njegovo roko.‹
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
14 Toda pomisli name, ko bo dobro s teboj in mi izkaži prijaznost, prosim te in me omeni faraonu in me privedi iz te hiše,
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.
15 kajti zares sem bil ukraden proč iz hebrejske dežele in tudi tukaj nisem storil ničesar, da bi me vtaknili v grajsko ječo.«
For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 Ko je glavni pek videl, da je bila razlaga dobra, je Jožefu rekel: »Tudi jaz sem bil v svojih sanjah in glej, na svoji glavi sem imel tri bele košare.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 V najvišji košari je bilo vse vrste pekovskih izdelkov za faraona in ptice so jih jedle iz košare na moji glavi.«
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Jožef je odgovoril in rekel: »To je njihova razlaga: ›Tri košare so trije dnevi.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 Že v treh dneh bo faraon vzdignil tvojo glavo iz tebe in te obesil na drevo in ptice bodo iz tebe jedle tvoje meso.‹«
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
20 Pripetilo se je tretji dan, ki je bil faraonov rojstni dan, da je priredil gostijo vsem svojim služabnikom in med svojimi služabniki povzdignil glavo glavnega točaja in glavnega peka.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 Glavnega točaja je ponovno vrnil v njegovo točajstvo in čašo je podajal v faraonovo roko,
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 toda glavnega peka je obesil, kakor jima je Jožef razložil.
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 Vendar se glavni točaj ni spomnil Jožefa, temveč je nanj pozabil.
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
