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

After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 ف َغَضِبَ فِرعَوْنُ مِنْ رَئِيسِ سُقاتِهِ وَرَئِيسِ خَبّازِيهِ.

Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

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

He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

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

The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

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

They 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.

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

Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw 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؟»

He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’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

They 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.”

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

The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of 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, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

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

Pharaoh’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.”

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

Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: 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.

Within 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.

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

But 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.

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

For 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.”

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 behold, three baskets of white bread were 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 there were all kinds of baked food 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.

Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. 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 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.”

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

On 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.

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

He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into 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 cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.
