Yaratılış 40

¹Bu olaylardan sonra Mısır kralının başsakisi ve başfırıncısı, efendileri olan Mısır kralına karşı bir hata yaptılar.

²Firavun iki yüksek saray görevlisine, yani başsakiye ve başfırıncıya çok öfkelendi.

³Onları zindandaki muhafazaya, Yusuf'un da oraya götürülmüş olduğu yere kapattı.

⁴Zindan amiri onları Yusuf'un gözetimine verdi ve Yusuf onlara hizmet etti; böylece zindanda günler boyunca kaldılar.

⁵Zindanda tutuklu bulunan ve Mısır kralına bağlı olan başsaki ile başfırıncının her ikisi de aynı gece birer rüya gördüler; rüyaların görümü şu şekildeydi.

⁶Yusuf sabahleyin yanlarına geldiğinde onları gördü; zihinleri tamamen karışmış ve sarsılmış durumdaydı.

⁷Efendisinin yanında, zindanda kendisiyle birlikte olan Firavun'un saray görevlilerine, "Bugün yüzleriniz neden böyle kasvetli?" diye sordu.

⁸Onlar da, "Bir rüya gördük ama bunu yorumlayacak kimse yok" dediler; Yusuf onlara, "Rüyaların açıklaması Tanrı aracılığıyla değil midir? Lütfen bana detaylıca anlatın" dedi.

⁹Başsaki rüyasını Yusuf'a detaylıca aktararak şöyle dedi: "Uykumda önümde bir asma duruyordu.

¹⁰Asmada üç kök vardı; asma filizlenip yukarı doğru sürgünler verdi ve salkımlardaki üzümler olgunlaştı.

¹¹Firavun'un kasesi elimdeydi; üzümü alıp Firavun'un kasesine sıktım ve kaseyi Firavun'un eline sundum."

¹²Yusuf ona, "Bunun yorumu şudur" dedi, "Üç kök üç gündür.

¹³Üç gün içinde Firavun senin makamını hatırlayacak ve seni yine başsakilik görevine geri yerleştirecek; sen de daha önce saki olarak hizmet ettiğin zamanki makamına uygun olarak Firavun'un kasesini onun eline vereceksin.

¹⁴Ancak senin için her şey iyi gittiğinde beni zihninde tut, bana iyilik et; Firavun'a benden söz et de beni bu kaleden çıkar.

¹⁵Çünkü ben İbranilerin diyarından hırsızlıkla çalındım; burada da beni bu çukura atmalarını gerektirecek hiçbir şey yapmadım."

¹⁶Başfırıncı, Yusuf'un rüyayı doğru ve olumlu yorumladığını görünce ona, "Ben de rüyamda başımın üzerinde üç sepet ince un ekmeği taşıdığımı görüyordum" dedi.

¹⁷"En üstteki sepette fırıncının elinden çıkmış, Firavun'un yediği her çeşit yiyecek vardı; ama gökteki kuşlar onları başımın üzerindeki üst sepetten yiyip bitiriyorlardı."

¹⁸Yusuf yanıt verip ona şöyle dedi: "Bunun yorumu şudur: Üç sepet üç gündür.

¹⁹Üç gün içinde Firavun senin başını senden alacak, seni bir ağaca asacak ve gökteki kuşlar senin etlerini senden yiyip bitirecek."

²⁰Üçüncü gün Firavun'un doğum günüydü ve bütün hizmetkarlarına bir içki şöleni verdi; hizmetkarlarının önünde sakinin makamını ve fırıncının makamını hatırladı.

²¹Başsakiyi kendi makamına geri yerleştirdi; o da kaseyi Firavun'un eline sundu.

²²Ama başfırıncıyı astı; tıpkı Yusuf'un onlara yorumladığı gibi.

²³Ne var ki, başsaki Yusuf'u zihninde tutmadı, aksine onu tamamen unuttu.

¹ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα ἥμαρτεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιὸς τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου.

²καὶ ὠργίσθη Φαραὼ ἐπὶ τοῖς δυσὶν εὐνούχοις αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχιοινοχόῳ καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχισιτοποιῷ,

³καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἀπῆκτο ἐκεῖ.

⁴καὶ συνέστησεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμώτης τῷ ᾿Ιωσὴφ αὐτούς, καὶ παρέστη αὐτοῖς· ἦσαν δὲ ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

⁵καὶ εἶδον ἀμφότεροι ἐνύπνιον ἐν μιᾷ νυκτί· ἡ δὲ ὅρασις τοῦ ἐνυπνίου τοῦ ἀρχιοινοχόου καὶ ἀρχισιτοποιοῦ, οἳ ἦσαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου, οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ, ἦν αὕτη.

⁶εἰσῆλθε δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ᾿Ιωσὴφ τῷ πρωΐ καὶ εἶδεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἦσαν τεταραγμένοι.

⁷καὶ ἠρώτα τοὺς εὐνούχους Φαραώ, οἳ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ, λέγων· τί ὅτι τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ σήμερον;

⁸οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν, καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό. εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς ᾿Ιωσήφ· οὐχὶ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ διασάφησις αὐτῶν ἐστι; διηγήσασθε οὖν μοι.

⁹καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ τῷ ᾿Ιωσὴφ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ἦν ἄμπελος ἐναντίον μου·

¹⁰ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀμπέλῳ τρεῖς πυθμένες, καὶ αὐτὴ θάλλουσα ἀνενηνοχυῖα βλαστούς· πέπειροι οἱ βότρυες σταφυλῆς.

¹¹καὶ τὸ ποτήριον Φαραὼ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου· καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν σταφυλὴν καὶ ἐξέθλιψα αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ποτήριον καὶ ἔδωκα τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα Φαραώ.

¹²καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωσήφ· τοῦτο ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· οἱ τρεῖς πυθμένες τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν·

¹³ἔτι τρεῖς ἡμέραι καὶ μνησθήσεται Φαραὼ τῆς ἀρχῆς σου καὶ ἀποκαταστήσει σε ἐπί τὴν ἀρχιοινοχοΐαν σου, καὶ δώσεις τὸ ποτήριον Φαραὼ εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχήν σου τὴν προτέραν, ὡς ἦσθα οἰνοχοῶν.

¹⁴ἀλλὰ μνήσθητί μου διὰ σεαυτοῦ, ὅταν εὖ γένηταί σοι, καὶ ποιήσεις ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔλεος καὶ μνησθήσει περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Φαραὼ καὶ ἐξάξεις με ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος τούτου·

¹⁵ὅτι κλοπῇ ἐκλάπην ἐκ γῆς ῾Εβραίων καὶ ὧδε οὐκ ἐποίησα οὐδέν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐνέβαλόν με εἰς τὸν λάκκον τοῦτον.

¹⁶καὶ εἶδεν ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιός, ὅτι ὀρθῶς συνέκρινε, καὶ εἶπε τῷ ᾿Ιωσήφ· κἀγὼ εἶδον ἐνύπνιον καὶ ᾤμην τρία κανᾶ χονδριτῶν αἴρειν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς μου·

¹⁷ἐν δὲ κανῷ τῷ ἐπάνω ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν γενῶν, ὧν Φαραὼ ἐσθίει ἔργον σιτοποιοῦ, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατήσθιεν αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ κανοῦ τοῦ ἐπάνω τῆς κεφαλῆς μου.

¹⁸ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· αὕτη ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· τὰ τρία κανᾶ τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν·

¹⁹ἔτι τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἀφελεῖ Φαραὼ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ κρεμάσει σε ἐπὶ ξύλου, καὶ φάγεται τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὰς σάρκας σου ἀπὸ σοῦ.

²⁰ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἡμέρα γενέσεως ἦν Φαραώ, καὶ ἐποίει πότον πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐμνήσθη τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ οἰνοχόου καὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ σιτοποιοῦ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ,

²¹καὶ ἀποκατέστησε τὸν ἀρχιοινοχόον ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα Φαραώ,

²²τὸν δὲ ἀρχισιτοποιὸν ἐκρέμασε, καθὰ συνέκρινεν αὐτοῖς ᾿Ιωσήφ.

²³καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ ᾿Ιωσήφ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπελάθετο αὐτοῦ.

¹AND it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.

²And Pharao was wroth with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

³And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.

⁴And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.

⁵And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.

⁶Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.

⁷And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad to-day?

⁸And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through God? tell [them] than to me.

⁹And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.

¹⁰And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

¹¹And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

¹²And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.

¹³Yet three days and Pharao shall remember thy office, and he shall restore thee to thy place of chief cupbearer, and thou shalt give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to thy former high place, as thou wast wont to be cupbearer.

¹⁴But remember me of thyself, when it shall be well with thee, and thou shalt deal mercifully with me, and thou shalt make mention of me to Pharao, and thou shalt bring me forth out of this dungeon.

¹⁵For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.

¹⁶And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and methought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

¹⁷And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.

¹⁸And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.

¹⁹Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

²⁰And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.

²¹And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

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

²³Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
