Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt, and his baker, offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Après ces choses, il arriva que l'Echanson du Roi d'Egypte, et le Panetier offensèrent le Roi d'Egypte, leur Seigneur.
2 And Pharaoh was angry against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Et Pharaon fut fort irrité contre ces deux Eunuques, contre le grand Echanson, et contre le grand Panetier.
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
Et les mit en garde dans la maison du Prévôt de l'hôtel, dans la prison étroite, au [même] lieu où Joseph était renfermé.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered to them. And they continued a season in ward.
Et le Prévôt de l'hôtel les mit entre les mains de Joseph, qui les servait; et ils furent [quelques] jours en prison.
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
Et tous deux songèrent un songe, chacun son songe en une même nuit, [et] chacun selon l'explication de son songe; tant l'Echanson que le Panetier du Roi d'Egypte, qui [étaient] renfermés dans la prison.
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
Et Joseph vint à eux le matin, et les regarda; et voici ils étaient fort tristes.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Why do ye look so sad today?
Et il demanda à [ces] Eunuques de Pharaon, qui [étaient] avec lui dans la prison de son maître, et leur dit: D'où vient que vous avez aujourd'hui si mauvais visage?
8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no man who can interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, I pray you.
Et ils lui répondirent: Nous avons songé des songes, et il n'y a personne qui les explique. Et Joseph leur dit: Les explications ne sont-elles pas de Dieu? Je vous prie, contez-moi [vos songes].
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.
Et le grand Echanson conta son songe à Joseph, et lui dit: [Il me semblait] en songeant [que] je voyais un cep devant moi.
10 And in the vine were three branches. And it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.
Et il y avait en ce cep trois sarments; et il était près de fleurir; sa fleur sortit, et ses grappes firent mûrir les raisins.
11 And 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.
Et la coupe de Pharaon était en ma main, et je prenais les raisins, et les pressais dans la coupe de Pharaon, et je lui donnais la coupe en sa main.
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.
Et Joseph lui dit: Voici son explication: Les trois sarments sont trois jours.
13 Within yet three days Pharaoh shall lift up thy head, and restore thee to thine office. And thou shall give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou was his butler.
Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête, et te rétablira en ton [premier] état, et tu donneras la coupe à Pharaon en sa main, selon ton premier office, lorsque tu étais Echanson.
14 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
Mais souviens-toi de moi quand ce bonheur te sera arrivé, et fais-moi, je te prie, cette grâce, que tu fasses mention de moi à Pharaon, et qu'il me fasse sortir de cette maison.
15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Car certainement j'ai été dérobé du pays des Hébreux; et même je n'ai rien fait ici pour quoi l'on dût me mettre en cette fosse.
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.
Alors le grand Panetier voyant que Joseph avait expliqué [ce songe] favorablement, lui dit: J'ai aussi songé, et il me semblait qu'[il y avait] trois corbeilles blanches sur ma tête.
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Et dans la plus haute corbeille [il y avait] de toutes sortes de viandes du métier de boulanger, pour Pharaon; et les oiseaux les mangeaient dans la corbeille [qui était] sur ma tête.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
Et Joseph répondit, et dit: Voici son explication: Les trois corbeilles sont trois jours.
19 Within yet three days Pharaoh shall lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête de dessus toi, et te fera pendre à un bois, et les oiseaux mangeront ta chair de dessus toi.
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Et il arriva au troisième jour, [qui était] le jour de la naissance de Pharaon, qu'il fit un festin à tous ses serviteurs, et il fit sortir de prison le grand Echanson, et le maître Panetier, ses serviteurs.
21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand,
Et il rétablit le grand Echanson dans son office d'Echanson, lequel donna la coupe à Pharaon.
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Mais il fit pendre le grand Panetier, selon que Joseph le leur avait expliqué.
23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Cependant le grand Echanson ne se souvint point de Joseph; mais l'oublia.
