Genesis 40
1 Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;
And it chaunced after this that the chefe butlar of the kynge of Egipte and his chefe baker had offended there lorde the kynge of Egypte.
2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;
And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:
3 And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.
euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.
4 And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.
And the chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them and he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.
5 And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.
And they dreamed ether of them in one nyghte: both the butlar and the baker of the kynge of Egipte which were bownde in the preson house ether of them his dreame and eche manes dreame of a sondrie interpretation
6 And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.
When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.
7 And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?
And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?
8 Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?
They answered him we haue dreamed a dreame and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto the. Interpretynge belongeth to God but tel me yet.
9 Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;
And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph and sayde vnto him. In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before me
10 And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.
and in the vyne were. iij. braunches and it was as though it budded and her blossos shottforth: and ye grapes there of waxed rype.
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe and delyvered Pharaos cuppe into his hande.
12 Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days;
And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.
13 After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.
The. iij. braunches ar thre dayes: for within thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine heade and restore the vnto thyne office agayne and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to his hade after the old maner even as thou dydest when thou wast his butlar.
14 But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:
But thinke on me with the when thou art in good case and shewe mercie vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao and helpe to brynge me out of this house:
15 For truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.
for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues and here also haue I done nothige at all wherfore they shulde haue put me in to this dongeon.
16 Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head;
When the chefe baker sawe that he had well interpretate it he sayde vnto Ioseph me thought also in my dreame yt I had. iij. wyker baskettes on my heade?
17 And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.
And in ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
18 Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days;
Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes
19 After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.
for this daye. iij. dayes shall Pharao take thy heade from the and shall hange the on a tree and the byrdes shall eate thy flesh from of the.
20 Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.
And it came to passe the thyrde daye which was Pharaos byrth daye that he made a feast vnto all his servauntes. And he lyfted vpp the head of the chefe buttelar and of the chefe baker amonge his servauntes.
21 And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande
22 But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.
ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.
23 But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.
Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
