EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOSNEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Después de estos acontecimientos, el copero y el panadero del rey de Egipto ofendieron a su señor.1 Some time afterward, the royal cupbearer and baker gave offense to their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 El Faraón se irritó contra sus dos funcionarios –el copero mayor y el panadero mayor–2 Pharaoh was angry with his two courtiers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 y los hizo poner bajo custodia en la casa del capitán de guardias, en la misma cárcel donde estaba preso José.3 and he put them in custody in the house of the chief steward (the same jail where Joseph was confined).
4 El capitán de guardias encargó a José que se ocupara de servirlos, y así estuvieron arrestados durante un tiempo.4 The chief steward assigned Joseph to them, and he became their attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 Una vez, mientras estaban presos en la cárcel, el copero y el panadero del rey de Egipto tuvieron un sueño en el transcurso de una misma noche, cada sueño con su significado propio.5 the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt who were confined in the jail both had dreams on the same night, each dream with its own meaning.
6 A la mañana siguiente, cuando José fue a verlos, los encontró deprimidos.6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he noticed that they looked disturbed.
7 «¿Por qué están hoy con la cara triste?», preguntó a los funcionarios del Faraón que estaban arrestados con él en la casa de su señor.7 So he asked Pharaoh's courtiers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why do you look so sad today?"
8 Ellos le respondieron: «Hemos tenido un sueño, y aquí no hay nadie que lo interprete». José les dijo: «La interpretación es obra de Dios; pero de todos modos cuéntenme lo que soñaron».8 They answered him, "We have had dreams, but there is no one to interpret them for us." Joseph said to them, "Surely, interpretations come from God. Please tell the dreams to me."
9 El copero relató su sueño a José. «Yo soñé, le dijo que delante de mí había una vid,9 Then the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. "In my dream," he said, "I saw a vine in front of me,
10 y en ella, tres sarmientos. Apenas la vid dio brotes, salieron sus flores y maduraron las uvas en los racimos.10 and on the vine were three branches. It had barely budded when its blossoms came out, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 La copa del faraón estaba en mi mano: yo tomé las uvas, las exprimí en esa copa, y la puse en la mano del Faraón».11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes, pressed them out into his cup, and put it in Pharaoh's hand."
12 José le dijo: «La interpretación es la siguiente: los tres racimos representan tres días,12 Joseph said to him: "This is what it means. The three branches are three days;
13 Dentro de tres días, el Faraón te indultará, te restituirá a tu cargo, y tú pondrás la copa en su mano, como acostumbrabas a hacerlo antes, cuando eras su copero.13 within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your post. You will be handing Pharaoh his cup as you formerly used to do when you were his cupbearer.
14 Y cuando mejore tu suerte, si todavía recuerdas que yo estuve aquí contigo, no dejes de hacerme este favor: háblale de mí al Faraón, y trata de sacarme de este lugar.14 So if you will still remember, when all is well with you, that I was here with you, please do me the favor of mentioning me to Pharaoh, to get me out of this place.
15 Porque yo fui traído por la fuerza del país de los hebreos, y aquí no hice nada para que me pusieran en la cárcel».15 The truth is that I was kidnaped from the land of the Hebrews, and here I have not done anything for which I should have been put into a dungeon."
16 El panadero mayor, al ver con qué acierto había interpretado el sueño, dijo a José: «Yo, por mi parte, soñé que tenía sobre mi cabeza tres canastas de mimbre.16 When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given this favorable interpretation, he said to him: "I too had a dream. In it I had three wicker baskets on my head;
17 En la canasta más elevada, había de todos los productos de panadería que come el Faraón, y los pájaros comían de esa canasta que estaba encima de mi cabeza».17 in the top one were all kinds of bakery products for Pharaoh, but the birds were pecking at them out of the basket on my head."
18 José le respondió: «La interpretación es la siguiente: las tres canastas representan tres días.18 Joseph said to him in reply: "This is what it means. The three baskets are three days;
19 Dentro de tres días el Faraón te hará decapitar, te colgará de un poste, y los pájaros comerán tu carne».19 within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and have you impaled on a stake, and the birds will be pecking the flesh from your body."
20 Efectivamente, al tercer día se festejaba el cumpleaños del Faraón, y este agasajó con un banquete a todos sus servidores. Entonces reconsideró las causas del copero mayor y del panadero mayor en medio de sus servidores,20 And in fact, on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, when he gave a banquet to all his staff, with his courtiers around him, he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and chief baker.
21 y restituyó en su cargo al copero mayor, de manera que este volvió a poner la copa en la mano del Faraón;21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, so that he again handed the cup to Pharaoh;
22 en cambio, mandó colgar al panadero mayor, conforme a la interpretación que les había dado José.22 but the chief baker he impaled-just as Joseph had told them in his interpretation.
23 Sin embargo, el copero mayor ya no pensó más en José, sino que se olvidó de él.23 Yet the chief cupbearer gave no thought to Joseph; he had forgotten him.
