¹Beberapa waktu kemudian dua pelayan raja Mesir, yaitu pengurus minuman dan pengurus rotinya, membuat kesalahan terhadap raja.

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.

²Maka marahlah raja kepada kedua pelayannya itu,

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

³lalu mereka dimasukkannya ke dalam penjara di rumah kepala pengawal istana, di tempat Yusuf ditahan.

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

⁴Lama juga mereka di penjara itu, dan kepala pengawal istana menugaskan Yusuf untuk melayani mereka.

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

⁵Pada suatu malam pengurus minuman dan pengurus roti itu masing-masing bermimpi. Arti mimpi mereka itu tidak sama.

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.

⁶Ketika Yusuf datang kepada mereka keesokan paginya, mereka kelihatan sedih.

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

⁷Lalu ia bertanya, "Mengapa Saudara-saudara begitu sedih hari ini?"

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?

⁸Jawab mereka, "Tadi malam kami mimpi, dan tidak ada yang tahu artinya." Kata Yusuf, "Cuma Allah yang memungkinkan orang menerangkan arti mimpi. Coba ceritakan mimpimu itu."

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.

⁹Pengurus minuman itu berkata, "Dalam mimpi itu saya melihat ada pohon anggur di depan saya.

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

¹⁰Pohon itu bercabang tiga. Baru saja cabang-cabangnya mulai berdaun, segera bunga-bunganya berkembang, lalu buahnya menjadi masak.

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:

¹¹Pada waktu itu saya sedang memegang gelas minuman raja, jadi saya ambil buah anggur itu dan saya peras ke dalam gelas raja, lalu saya hidangkan kepadanya."

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.

¹²Yusuf berkata, "Inilah keterangannya: Tiga cabang itu artinya tiga hari.

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

¹³Dalam tiga hari ini raja akan membebaskan engkau, ia akan mengampuni engkau dan mengembalikan engkau kepada jabatanmu yang dahulu. Engkau akan menghidangkan gelas minuman kepada raja seperti dahulu.

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.

¹⁴Tetapi ingatlah kepada saya apabila keadaanmu sudah baik. Tolong sampaikan persoalan saya kepada raja, supaya saya dibebaskan dari penjara ini.

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:

¹⁵Sebab, sebetulnya dahulu saya diculik dari negeri orang Ibrani dan di sini pun, di Mesir ini, tidak pernah saya melakukan sesuatu kejahatan sampai harus dimasukkan ke dalam penjara."

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.

¹⁶Setelah pengurus roti itu tahu bahwa arti mimpi pengurus minuman itu baik, maka dia pun berkata kepada Yusuf, "Saya bermimpi juga, saya menjunjung tiga buah keranjang roti di atas kepala.

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:

¹⁷Dalam keranjang yang paling atas terdapat bermacam-macam kue-kue untuk raja, tetapi burung-burung datang memakan kue-kue itu."

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.

¹⁸Jawab Yusuf, "Inilah keterangan mimpi itu: Tiga keranjang itu artinya tiga hari.

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

¹⁹Dalam tiga hari ini raja akan menyuruh orang memenggal kepalamu lalu menggantungkan mayatmu pada sebuah tiang, dan burung-burung akan makan dagingmu."

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.

²⁰Tiga hari kemudian adalah hari ulang tahun raja, dan ia mengadakan pesta besar bagi semua pegawai. Ia memerintahkan supaya pengurus minuman dan pengurus roti dikeluarkan dari penjara dan dibawa ke hadapan semua pegawai istana.

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.

²¹Pengurus minuman dikembalikannya kepada jabatan yang dahulu.

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

²²Tetapi pengurus roti dihukum mati. Semuanya itu terjadi sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan Yusuf.

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

²³Tetapi pengurus minuman itu tidak ingat lagi kepada Yusuf. Ia sama sekali lupa padanya.

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