¹And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

¹Nogen tid derefter hendte det at munnskjenken og bakeren hos kongen i Egypten forså sig mot sin herre, kongen i Egypten.

²And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

²Og Farao blev vred på sine to hoffmenn, den øverste munnskjenk og den øverste baker

³And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

³og satte dem fast hos høvdingen over livvakten, i fengslet hvor Josef var fange.

⁴And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward.

⁴Og høvdingen over livvakten satte Josef til å være hos dem, og han gikk dem til hånde; og de blev sittende en tid i fengslet.

⁵And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

⁵Engang drømte begge hver sin drøm i samme natt og hver drøm med sin mening - munnskjenken og bakeren hos kongen i Egypten, de som satt fanget i fengslet.

⁶And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.

⁶Da Josef kom inn til dem om morgenen, så han på dem at de var motfalne.

⁷And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?

⁷Da spurte han Faraos hoffmenn, de som satt fengslet med ham hos hans herre: Hvorfor ser I så sorgfulle ut idag?

⁸And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.

⁸De svarte: Vi har drømt, og det er ingen som kan tyde det. Da sa Josef til dem: Å tyde drømmer - er ikke det Guds sak? Fortell mig hvad I har drømt!

⁹And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

⁹Da fortalte den øverste munnskjenk Josef sin drøm og sa til ham: Jeg så i drømme et vintre som stod foran mig;

¹⁰and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

¹⁰og på vintreet var det tre grener, og det skjøt knopper, blomstene kom frem, klasene modnedes til druer.

¹¹and 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.

¹¹Og jeg holdt Faraos beger i min hånd, og jeg tok druene og krystet dem ut i Faraos beger, og så rakte jeg Farao begeret.

¹²And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;

¹²Da sa Josef til ham: Dette er tydningen: De tre grener er tre dager.

¹³within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

¹³Om tre dager skal Farao ophøie dig og sette dig i ditt embede igjen, og du skal rekke Farao begeret, som du gjorde før, da du var hans munnskjenk.

¹⁴But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

¹⁴Men kom mig i hu, når det går dig vel, og vis barmhjertighet mot mig, så du taler om mig for Farao og hjelper mig ut av dette hus!

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.

¹⁵For de har stjålet mig fra hebreernes land, og heller ikke her har jeg gjort noget som de kunde sette mig i fengslet for.

¹⁶When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:

¹⁶Da den øverste baker så at Josef hadde gitt en så god tydning, sa han til ham: Også jeg hadde en drøm og syntes jeg så at jeg bar tre kurver med hvetebrød på mitt hode.

¹⁷and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

¹⁷Og i den øverste kurv var det allslags bakverk, sånt som Farao pleier å ete, og fuglene åt det av kurven på mitt hode.

¹⁸And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;

¹⁸Da svarte Josef og sa: Dette er tydningen: De tre kurver er tre dager.

¹⁹within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

¹⁹Om tre dager skal Farao ophøie dig, hugge hodet av dig og henge dig på et tre, og fuglene skal ete kjøttet av dig.

²⁰And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

²⁰Den tredje dag, da det var Faraos fødselsdag, gjorde han et gjestebud for alle sine tjenere; og han ophøiet den øverste munnskjenk og den øverste baker iblandt sine tjenere.

²¹And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

²¹Han satte den øverste munnskjenk i hans embede igjen, og han rakte Farao begeret,

²²but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

²²og den øverste baker lot han henge, således som Josef hadde tydet drømmene for dem.

²³Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

²³Men den øverste munnskjenk kom ikke Josef i hu - han glemte ham.
