Genesis 40

1And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

1And it cometh to pass, after these things--the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt;

1After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.

2And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;

2and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,

2And Pharao being angry with them, (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker,)

3and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.

3and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph <FI>is<Fi> a prisoner,

3He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner.

4And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.

4and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge.

4But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.

5And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.

5And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who <FI>are<Fi> prisoners in the round-house.

5And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:

6And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.

6And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they <FI>are<Fi> morose;

6And when Joseph was come into them in the morning, and saw them sad,

7And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?

7and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who <FI>are<Fi> with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore <FI>are<Fi> your faces sad to-day?'

7He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?

8And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] toGod? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.

8And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'

8They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed:

9Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

9And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine <FI>is<Fi> before me!

9The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,

10and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.

10and in the vine <FI>are<Fi> three branches, and it <FI>is<Fi> as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;

10On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:

11And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

11and Pharaoh's cup <FI>is<Fi> in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.'

11And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.

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

12And Joseph saith to him, `This <FI>is<Fi> its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

12Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches, are yet three days:

13In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.

13yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.

13After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou was wont to do.

14Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;

14`Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,

14Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:

15for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

15for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'

15For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.

16And when the chief of the bakers 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.

16And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, `I also <FI>am<Fi> in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread <FI>are<Fi> on my head,

16The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:

17And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

17and in the uppermost basket <FI>are<Fi> of all <FI>kinds<Fi> of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'

17And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.

18And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.

18And Joseph answereth and saith, `This <FI>is<Fi> its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

18Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets, are yet three days:

19In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.

19yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.'

19After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.

20And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.

20And it cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,

20The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.

21And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

21and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;

21And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup:

22And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

22and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them;

22The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.

23But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.

23and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him.

23But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
