¹It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

¹Nogen Tid efter hændte det, at Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager forbrød sig mod deres Herre Ægypterkongen,

²Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

²og Farao vrededes på sine to Hofmænd, Overmundskænken og Overbageren,

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

³og lod dem sætte i Forvaring i Livvagtens Øverstes Hus, i samme Fængsel, hvor Josef sad fængslet;

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

⁴og Livvagtens Øverste gav dem Josef til Opvartning, og han gik dem til Hånde. Da de nu havde været i Forvaring en Tid lang,

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

⁵drømte Ægypterkongens Mundskænk og Bager, som sad i Fængselet, samme Nat hver sin Drøm med sin særlige Betydning.

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

⁶Da Josef om Morgenen kom ind til Faraos Hofmænd, der sammen med ham var i Forvaring i hans Herres Hus, og så, at de var nedslåede,

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

⁷spurgte han dem: "Hvorfor ser I så ulykkelige ud i Dag?"

⁸They 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.”

⁸Besvarede: "Vi har haft en Drøm, og her er ingen, som kan tyde den." Da sagde Josef til dem: "Er det ikke Guds Sag at tyde Drømme? Fortæl mig det da!"

⁹The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

⁹Så fortalte Overmundskænken Josef sin Drøm og sagde: "Jeg så i Drømme en Vinstok for mig;

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

¹⁰på Vinstokken var der tre Ranker, og næppe havde den sat Skud. før Blomsterne sprang ud, og Klaserne bar modne Druer;

¹¹Pharaoh’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 havde Faraos Bæger i Hånden og tog Druerne og pressede dem i Faraos Bæger og rakte Farao det."

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

¹²Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Ranker betyder tre Dage;

¹³Within 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 cupbearer.

¹³om tre Dage skal Farao løfte dit Hoved og genindsætte dig i dit Embede, så du atter rækker Farao Bægeret som før, da du var hans Mundskænk.

¹⁴But 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.

¹⁴Vilde du nu blot tænke på mig, når det går dig vel, og vise mig Godhed og omtale mig for Farao og således hjælpe mig ud af 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.”

¹⁵thi jeg er stjålet fra Hebræernes Land og har heller ikke her gjort noget, de kunde sætte mig i Fængsel for."

¹⁶When 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.

¹⁶Da nu Overbageren så, at Josef gav Mundskænken en gunstig Tydning, sagde han til ham: "Jeg havde en lignende Drøm: Se, jeg bar tre Kurve Hvedebrød på mit Hoved.

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

¹⁷I den øverste Kurv var der alle Hånde Bagværk til Faraos Bord, men Fuglene åd det af Kurven på mit Hoved!"

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

¹⁸Da sagde Josef: "Det skal udtydes således: De tre Kurve betyder tre Dage;

¹⁹Within 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.”

¹⁹om tre Dage skal Farao løfte dit Hoved og hænge dig op på en Pæl, og Fuglene skal æde Kødet af din Krop!"

²⁰It happened 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 cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

²⁰Tre Dage efter, da det var Faraos Fødselsdag, gjorde han et Gæstebud for alle sine Tjenere, og da løftede han Overmundskænkens og Overbagerens, Hoveder iblandt sine Tjenere.

²¹He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

²¹Overmundskænken genindsatte han i hans Embede, så han atter rakte Farao Bægeret,

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

²²og Overbageren lod han hænge, som Josef havde tydet det for dem.

²³Yet the chief cupbearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

²³Men Overmundskænken tænkte ikke på Josef; han glemte ham.
