창세기 40

1그 후에 애굽 왕의 술 맡은 자와 떡 굽는 자가 그 주 애굽 왕에게 범죄한지라 2바로가 그 두 관원장 곧 술 맡은 관원장과 떡 굽는 관원장에게 노하여 3그들을 시위대장의 집 안에 있는 옥에 가두니 곧 요셉의 갇힌 곳이라 4시위대장이 요셉으로 그들에게 수종하게 하매 요셉이 그들을 섬겼더라 그들이 갇힌 지 수 일이라 5옥에 갇힌 애굽 왕의 술 맡은 자와 떡 굽는 자 두 사람이 하룻밤에 꿈을 꾸니 각기 몽조가 다르더라 6아침에 요셉이 들어가 보니 그들에게 근심 빛이 있는지라 7요셉이 그 주인의 집에 자기와 함께 갇힌 바로의 관원장에게 묻되 당신들이 오늘 어찌하여 근심 빛이 있나이까 8그들이 그에게 이르되 우리가 꿈을 꾸었으나 이를 해석할 자가 없도다 요셉이 그들에게 이르되 해석은 하나님께 있지 아니하니이까 청컨대 내게 고하소서 9술 맡은 관원장이 그 꿈을 요셉에게 말하여 가로되 내가 꿈에 보니 내 앞에 포도나무가 있는데 10그 나무에 세 가지가 있고 싹이 나서 꽃이 피고 포도송이가 익었고 11내 손에 바로의 잔이 있기로 내가 포도를 따서 그 즙을 바로의 잔에 짜서 그 잔을 바로의 손에 드렸노라 12요셉이 그에게 이르되 그 해석이 이러하니 세 가지는 사흘이라 13지금부터 사흘 안에 바로가 당신의 머리를 들고 당신의 전직을 회복하리니 당신이 이왕에 술 맡은 자가 되었을 때에 하던 것 같이 바로의 잔을 그 손에 받들게 되리이다 14당신이 득의하거든 나를 생각하고 내게 은혜를 베풀어서 내 사정을 바로에게 고하여 이 집에서 나를 건져내소서 15나는 히브리 땅에서 끌려온 자요 여기서도 옥에 갇힐 일은 행치 아니하였나이다 16떡 굽는 관원장이 그 해석이 길함을 보고 요셉에게 이르되 나도 꿈에 보니 흰 떡 세 광주리가 내 머리에 있고 17그 윗광주리에 바로를 위하여 만든 각종 구운 식물이 있는데 새들이 내 머리의 광주리에서 그것을 먹더라 18요셉이 대답하여 가로되 그 해석은 이러하니 세 광주리는 사흘이라 19지금부터 사흘 안에 바로가 당신의 머리를 끊고 당신을 나무에 달리니 새들이 당신의 고기를 뜯어 먹으리이다 하더니 20제삼일은 바로의 탄일이라 바로가 모든 신하를 위하여 잔치할 때에 술 맡은 관원장과 떡 굽는 관원장으로 머리를 그 신하 중에 들게 하니라 21바로의 술 맡은 관원장은 전직을 회복하매 그가 잔을 바로의 손에 받들어 드렸고 22떡 굽는 관원장은 매여 달리니 요셉이 그들에게 해석함과 같이 되었으나 23술 맡은 관원장이 요셉을 기억지 않고 잊었더라

1After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker. 3He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 4The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days. 5They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison. 6Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad. 7He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?” 8They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.” 9The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me, 10and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. 11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.” 12Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. 13Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer. 14But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house. 15For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.” 16When the chief baker 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. 17In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.” 18Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days. 19Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.” 20On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand; 22but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

1En het geschiedde na deze dingen, dat de schenker des konings van Egypte en de bakker, zondigden tegen hun heer, tegen den koning van Egypte. 2Zodat Farao zeer toornig werd op zijn twee hovelingen, op den overste der schenkers, en op den overste der bakkers. 3En hij leverde hen in bewaring, ten huize van den overste der trawanten, in het gevangenhuis, ter plaatse, waar Jozef gevangen was. 4En de overste der trawanten bestelde Jozef bij hen, dat hij hen diende; en zij waren sommige dagen in bewaring. 5Zij droomden nu beiden een droom, elk zijn droom, in een nacht, elk naar de uitlegging zijns drooms, de schenker en de bakker, die des konings van Egypte waren, die gevangen waren in het gevangenhuis. 6En Jozef kwam des morgens tot hen, en hij zag hen aan, en ziet, zij waren ontsteld. 7Toen vraagde hij de hovelingen van Farao, die bij hem waren in hechtenis van het huis zijns heren, zeggende: Waarom zijn uw aangezichten heden kwalijk gesteld? 8En zij zeiden tot hem: Wij hebben een droom gedroomd, en er is niemand, die hem uitlegge. En Jozef zeide tot hen: Zijn de uitleggingen niet van God? Vertelt ze mij toch. 9Toen vertelde de overste der schenkers Jozef zijn droom, en zeide tot hem: In mijn droom, zie, zo was een wijnstok voor mijn aangezicht; 10En aan den wijnstok waren drie ranken; en hij was als bottende, zijn bloeisel ging op, zijn trossen brachten rijpe druiven voort. 11En Farao's beker was in mijn hand; en ik nam die druiven, en drukte ze uit in Farao's beker, en ik gaf den beker op Farao's hand. 12Toen zeide Jozef tot hem: Dit is zijn uitlegging: de drie ranken zijn drie dagen. 13Binnen nog drie dagen zal Farao uw hoofd verheffen, en zal u in uw staat herstellen; en gij zult Farao's beker in zijn hand geven, naar de vorige wijze, toen gij zijn schenker waart. 14Doch gedenk mijner bij uzelven, wanneer het u wel gaan zal, en doe toch weldadigheid aan mij, en doe van mij melding bij Farao, en maak, dat ik uit dit huis kome. 15Want ik ben diefelijk ontstolen uit het land der Hebreen; en ook heb ik hier niets gedaan, dat zij mij in dezen kuil gezet hebben. 16Toen de overste der bakkers zag, dat hij een goede uitlegging gedaan had, zo zeide hij tot Jozef: Ik was ook in mijn droom, en zie, drie getraliede korven waren op mijn hoofd. 17En in den opperste korf was van alle spijze van Farao, die bakkerswerk is; en het gevogelte at dezelve uit de korf, van boven mijn hoofd. 18Toen antwoordde Jozef, en zeide: Dit is zijn uitlegging: de drie korven zijn drie dagen. 19Binnen nog drie dagen zal Farao uw hoofd verheffen van boven u, en hij zal u aan een hout hangen, en het gevogelte zal uw vlees van boven u eten. 20En het geschiedde op den derden dag, den dag van Farao's geboorte, dat hij voor al zijn knechten een maaltijd maakte; en hij verhief het hoofd van den overste der schenkers, en het hoofd van den overste der bakkers, in het midden zijner knechten. 21En hij deed den overste der schenkers wederkeren tot zijn schenkambt, zodat hij den beker op Farao's hand gaf. 22Maar den overste der bakkers hing hij op; gelijk Jozef hun uitgelegd had. 23Doch de overste der schenkers gedacht aan Jozef niet, maar vergat hem.
