Kejadian 40

Genesis 40

Mimpi juru minuman dan juru roti
40:1 Sesudah semuanya itu terjadilah, bahwa juru minuman raja Mesir dan juru rotinya membuat kesalahan terhadap tuannya, raja Mesir itu,
40:2 maka murkalah Firaun kepada kedua pegawai istananya, kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti itu. 40:3 Ia menahan mereka dalam rumah kepala pengawal raja, dalam penjara tempat Yusuf dikurung.
40:4 Kepala pengawal raja menempatkan Yusuf bersama-sama dengan mereka untuk melayani mereka. Demikianlah mereka ditahan beberapa waktu lamanya. 40:5 Pada suatu kali bermimpilah mereka keduanya -- baik juru minuman maupun juru roti raja Mesir, yang ditahan dalam penjara itu -- masing-masing ada mimpinya, pada satu malam juga, dan mimpi masing-masing itu ada artinya sendiri.
40:6 Ketika pada waktu pagi Yusuf datang kepada mereka, segera dilihatnya, bahwa mereka bersusah hati.
40:7 Lalu ia bertanya kepada pegawai-pegawai istana Firaun yang ditahan bersama-sama dengan dia dalam rumah tuannya itu: "Mengapakah hari ini mukamu semuram itu?"
40:8 Jawab mereka kepadanya: "Kami bermimpi, tetapi tidak ada orang yang dapat mengartikannya." Lalu kata Yusuf kepada mereka: "Bukankah Allah yang menerangkan arti mimpi? Ceritakanlah kiranya mimpimu itu kepadaku."
40:9 Kemudian juru minuman itu menceritakan mimpinya kepada Yusuf, katanya: "Dalam mimpiku itu tampak ada pohon anggur di depanku.
40:10 Pohon anggur itu ada tiga carangnya dan baru saja pohon itu bertunas, bunganya sudah keluar dan tandan-tandannya penuh buah anggur yang ranum.
40:11 Dan di tanganku ada piala Firaun. Buah anggur itu kuambil, lalu kuperas ke dalam piala Firaun, kemudian kusampaikan piala itu ke tangan Firaun."
40:12 Kata Yusuf kepadanya: "Beginilah arti mimpi itu: ketiga carang itu artinya tiga hari;
40:13 dalam tiga hari ini Firaun akan meninggikan engkau dan mengembalikan engkau ke dalam pangkatmu yang dahulu dan engkau akan menyampaikan piala ke tangan Firaun seperti dahulu kala, ketika engkau jadi juru minumannya.
40:14 Tetapi, ingatlah kepadaku, apabila keadaanmu telah baik nanti, tunjukkanlah terima kasihmu kepadaku dengan menceritakan hal ihwalku kepada Firaun dan tolonglah keluarkan aku dari rumah ini.
40:15 Sebab aku dicuri diculik begitu saja dari negeri orang Ibrani dan di sinipun aku tidak pernah melakukan apa-apa yang menyebabkan aku layak dimasukkan ke dalam liang tutupan ini."
40:16 Setelah dilihat oleh kepala juru roti, betapa baik arti mimpi itu, berkatalah ia kepadanya: "Akupun bermimpi juga. Tampak aku menjunjung tiga bakul berisi penganan. 40:17 Dalam bakul atas ada berbagai-bagai makanan untuk Firaun, buatan juru roti, tetapi burung-burung memakannya dari dalam bakul yang di atas kepalaku." 40:18 Yusuf menjawab: "Beginilah arti mimpi itu: ketiga bakul itu artinya tiga hari;
40:19 dalam tiga hari ini Firaun akan meninggikan engkau, tinggi ke atas, dan menggantung engkau pada sebuah tiang, dan burung-burung akan memakan dagingmu dari tubuhmu."
40:20 Dan terjadilah pada hari ketiga, hari kelahiran Firaun, maka Firaun mengadakan perjamuan untuk semua pegawainya. Ia meninggikan kepala juru minuman dan kepala juru roti itu di tengah-tengah para pegawainya: 40:21 kepala juru minuman itu dikembalikannya ke dalam jabatannya, sehingga ia menyampaikan pula piala ke tangan Firaun;
40:22 tetapi kepala juru roti itu digantungnya, seperti yang ditakbirkan Yusuf kepada mereka.
40:23 Tetapi Yusuf tidaklah diingat oleh kepala juru minuman itu, melainkan dilupakannya.

1

It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2

Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
3

He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4

The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
5

They 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.
6

Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
7

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

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

The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,
10

and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
11

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

Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
13

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 cupbearer.
14

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

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

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

In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."
18

Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.
19

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

It 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.
21

He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
22

but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23

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