1 A fter these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

وَبَعْدَ هَذا أساءَ ساقِي فِرعَوْنَ وَالخَبّازُ إلَى سَيِّدِهِما، فِرعَوْنِ مِصْرَ.

2 P haraoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

فَغَضِبَ فِرعَوْنُ مِنْ رَئِيسِ سُقاتِهِ وَرَئِيسِ خَبّازِيهِ.

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

فَحَبَسَهُما فِرعَوْنُ فِي سِجنِ رَئِيسِ الحَرَسِ حَيثُ كانَ يُوسُفُ مَحبُوساً.

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

وَجَعَلَ رَئِيسُ الحَرَسِ يُوسُفَ مُشْرِفاً عَلَيهِما، فَخَدَمَهُما. وَبَقِيا فِي السِّجْنِ مُدَّةً مِنَ الزَّمَنِ.

5 T hey 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.

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

6 J oseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

أتَى إلَيهِما يُوسُفُ فِي الصَّباحِ. وَرَأى أنَّهُما كانا مُنزَعِجَينِ.

7 H e asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

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

8 T hey 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.”

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

9 T he chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

فَقَصَّ ساقِي فِرعَوْنَ عَلَى يُوسُفَ حُلْمَهُ وَقالَ: «رَأيتُ فِي الحُلْمِ كَرْمَةً،

10 a nd in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

وَرَأيتُ عَلَى الكَرْمَةِ ثَلاثَةَ أغصانٍ. وَما إنْ أوْرَقَتِ الكَرْمَةُ، حَتَّى ظَهَرَتْ بَراعِمُها وَنَضِجَتْ عَناقِيدُها.

11 P haraoh’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.”

وَكانَتْ كَأْسُ فِرعَوْنَ فِي يَدِي. فَأخَذْتُ العِنَبَ وَعَصَرْتُهُ فِي كَأْسِ فِرعَوْنَ، وَوَضَعْتُ الكَأْسَ فِي يَدِهِ.»

12 J oseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

فَقالَ لَهُ يُوسُفُ: «مَعْنَى حُلْمِكَ هُوَ أنَّ الأغصانَ الثَّلاثَةَ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أيّامٍ.

13 W ithin 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.

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

14 B ut 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.

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

15 F or 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.”

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

16 W hen 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.

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

17 I n the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

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

18 J oseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

فَأجابَ يُوسُفُ: «مَعْنَى حُلْمِكَ هُوَ أنَّ السِّلالَ الثَّلاثَ هِيَ ثَلاثَةُ أيّامٍ.

19 W ithin 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.”

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

20 O n 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.

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

21 H e restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

وَأعادَ لِرَئِيسِ السُّقاةِ وَظِيفَتَهُ، فَوَضَعَ الكَأسَ فِي يَدِ فِرعَوْنَ.

22 b ut he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

لَكِنَّهُ قَطَعَ رَأسَ رَئِيسَ الخَبّازِينَ وَعَلَّقَ جَسَدَهُ، تَماماً كَما فَسَّرَ يُوسُفُ الحُلْمَينِ.

23 Y et the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

غَيرَ أنَّ رَئِيسَ السُّقاةِ لَمْ يَتَذَكَّرْ يُوسُفَ، بَلْ نَسِيَهُ!
