1 و َبَعْدَ هَذا أساءَ ساقِي فِرعَوْنَ وَالخَبّازُ إلَى سَيِّدِهِما، فِرعَوْنِ مِصْرَ.

It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 ف َغَضِبَ فِرعَوْنُ مِنْ رَئِيسِ سُقاتِهِ وَرَئِيسِ خَبّازِيهِ.

And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker.

3 ف َحَبَسَهُما فِرعَوْنُ فِي سِجنِ رَئِيسِ الحَرَسِ حَيثُ كانَ يُوسُفُ مَحبُوساً.

So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

4 و َجَعَلَ رَئِيسُ الحَرَسِ يُوسُفَ مُشْرِفاً عَلَيهِما، فَخَدَمَهُما. وَبَقِيا فِي السِّجْنِ مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.

5 و َفِي إحْدَى اللَّيالِي رَأى ساقِي فِرعَوْنَ وَخَبّازُهُ المَحبُوسانِ فِي السِّجْنِ حُلْمَينِ مَعاً. وَكانَ لِكُلٍّ مِنْهُما حُلْمُهُ. وَكانَ لِكُلِّ حُلْمٍ مَعْناهُ.

Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.

6 أ تَى إلَيهِما يُوسُفُ فِي الصَّباحِ. وَرَأى أنَّهُما كانا مُنزَعِجَينِ.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.

7 ف َسَألَ يُوسُفُ مَوَظَّفَي فِرعَوْنَ اللَّذَينِ كانا مَحبُوسَينِ مَعَهُ فِي بَيتِ سَيِّدِهِ: «لِماذا أرَى الحُزْنَ عَلَى وَجهَيكُما؟»

So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

8 ف َقالا: «رَأينا حُلْمَينِ. لَكِنْ لا يُوجَدُ مَنْ يَقدِرُ أنْ يُفَسِّرَهُما لَنا.» فَقالَ يُوسُفُ لَهُما: «وَهَلْ يُفَسِّرُ الأحلامَ غَيرُ اللهِ؟ فَأخبِرانِي بِحُلْمَيكُما.» حُلْمُ ساقِي المَلِك

And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”

9 ف َقَصَّ ساقِي فِرعَوْنَ عَلَى يُوسُفَ حُلْمَهُ وَقالَ: «رَأيتُ فِي الحُلْمِ كَرْمَةً،

Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

10 و َرَأيتُ عَلَى الكَرْمَةِ ثَلاثَةَ أغصانٍ. وَما إنْ أوْرَقَتِ الكَرْمَةُ، حَتَّى ظَهَرَتْ بَراعِمُها وَنَضِجَتْ عَناقِيدُها.

and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 و َكانَتْ كَأْسُ فِرعَوْنَ فِي يَدِي. فَأخَذْتُ العِنَبَ وَعَصَرْتُهُ فِي كَأْسِ فِرعَوْنَ، وَوَضَعْتُ الكَأْسَ فِي يَدِهِ.»

Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”

12 ف َقالَ لَهُ يُوسُفُ: «مَعْنَى حُلْمِكَ هُوَ أنَّ الأغصانَ الثَّلاثَةَ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أيّامٍ.

And Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

13 ف َخِلالَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ يَرْفَعُ المَلِكُ رَأسَكَ، وَيُعِيدُكَ إلَى وَظِيفَتِكَ. وَسَتُقَدِّمُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ كَأْسَهُ كَما كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُ مِنْ قَبلُ عِنْدَما كُنْتَ ساقِياً لَهُ.

Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.

14 ل َكِنْ أرجُو أنْ تَتَذَكَّرَنِي عِندَما يُطلِقُ سَراحَكَ. وَاصْنَعْ مَعِي مَعرُوفاً بِأنْ تَذْكُرَنِي لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَتُخرِجَنِي مِنْ هَذا السِّجْنِ.

But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

15 ف َقَدِ اختُطِفْتُ مِنْ أرْضِ العِبْرانِيِّينَ. وَأنا لَمْ أرتَكِبْ هُنا جُرْماً يَسْتَوجِبُ السِّجْنَ.» حُلْمُ خَبّازِ المَلِك

For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

16 ف َلَمّا أعجَبَ التَّفْسِيرُ رَئِيسَ الخَبّازِينَ، قالَ لِيُوسُفَ: «أنا أيضاً رَأيتُ حُلْماً: كانَتْ هُناكَ ثَلاثُ سِلالٍ مِنَ الخُبْزِ الأبْيَضِ عَلَى رَأْسِي.

When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head.

17 و َكانَ فِي السَّلَّةِ العُلْيا كُلُّ أنْواعِ الأطعِمَةِ المَخبُوزَةِ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. لَكِنَّ طُيُوراً كانَتْ تَأْكُلُها مِنَ السَّلَّةِ الَّتِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي.»

In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

18 ف َأجابَ يُوسُفُ: «مَعْنَى حُلْمِكَ هُوَ أنَّ السِّلالَ الثَّلاثَ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أيّامٍ.

So Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

19 ف َخِلالَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ سَيَرفَعُ فِرعَوْنُ رَأْسَكَ عَنْ جَسَدِكَ، وَسَيُعَلِّقُكَ عَلَى عَمُودٍ، فَتَأْكُلَ الطُّيُورُ لَحمَكَ.» يُوسُفُ يُنسَى

Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

20 و َبَعدَ ثَلاثَةِ أيّامٍ كانَ عِيدُ مِيلادِ فِرعَوْنَ. فَأقامَ وَلِيمَةً لِكُلِّ مَسْؤُولِيهِ. وَأطلَقَ رَئِيسَ السُّقاةِ وَرَئِيسَ الخَبّازِينَ مِنَ السِّجْنِ فِي حُضُورِ مَسْؤُولِيهِ.

Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21 و َأعادَ لِرَئِيسِ السُّقاةِ وَظِيفَتَهُ، فَوَضَعَ الكَأسَ فِي يَدِ فِرعَوْنَ.

Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

22 ل َكِنَّهُ قَطَعَ رَأسَ رَئِيسَ الخَبّازِينَ وَعَلَّقَ جَسَدَهُ، تَماماً كَما فَسَّرَ يُوسُفُ الحُلْمَينِ.

But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 غ َيرَ أنَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقاةِ لَمْ يَتَذَكَّرْ يُوسُفَ، بَلْ نَسِيَهُ!

Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
