1 Mojzes 40

1 Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da sta točaj egiptovskega kralja in njegov pek užalila njunega gospoda, egiptovskega kralja.

And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2 Faraon je bil ogorčen zoper dva izmed svojih častnikov, zoper šefa točajev in zoper šefa pekov.

And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;

3 Zaprl ju je v hišo poveljnika straže, v ječo, kraj, kjer je bil zvezan Jožef.

and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

4 Poveljnik straže je Jožefa zadolžil z njima in ta jima je stregel in [neko] razdobje sta ostala v ječi.

And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.

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.

And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.

6 Jožef je zjutraj prišel k njima, pogledal nanju in glej, bila sta žalostna.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.

7 Vprašal je faraonova častnika, ki sta bila z njim v ječi hiše njegovega gospodarja, rekoč: »Zakaj sta danes videti tako žalostna?«

And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?

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.«

And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.

9 Glavni točaj je svoje sanje povedal Jožefu in mu rekel: »V mojih sanjah, glej, je bil pred menoj vinski trs,

Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was 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 in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, 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.«

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

12 Jožef mu je rekel: »To je razlaga: ›Tri mladike so trije dnevi.

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: 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.‹

In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.

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,

Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;

15 kajti zares sem bil ukraden proč iz hebrejske dežele in tudi tukaj nisem storil ničesar, da bi me vtaknili v grajsko ječo.«

for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the 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.

And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were 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.«

And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

18 Jožef je odgovoril in rekel: »To je njihova razlaga: ›Tri košare so trije dnevi.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: 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.‹«

In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.

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.

And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.

21 Glavnega točaja je ponovno vrnil v njegovo točajstvo in čašo je podajal v faraonovo roko,

And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

22 toda glavnega peka je obesil, kakor jima je Jožef razložil.

And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Vendar se glavni točaj ni spomnil Jožefa, temveč je nanj pozabil.

But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
