Genesis 40

1 And 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.

And it comes 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;

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

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

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

and puts them in confinement in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,

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

and the chief of the executioners charges Joseph with them, and he serves them; and they are in confinement [for some] days.

5 And 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.

And 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 has, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.

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

And Joseph comes to them in the morning, and sees them, and behold, they [are] morose;

7 And 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?

and he asks Pharaoh’s eunuchs who [are] with him in confinement in the house of his lord, saying, “Why [are] your faces sad today?”

8 And 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.

And they say to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it”; and Joseph says to them, “Are interpretations not with God? Please recount to me.”

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

And the chief of the butlers recounts his dream to Joseph and says to him, “In my dream, then behold, a vine [is] before me!

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

And in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up has its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;

11 And 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.

and Pharaoh’s cup [is] 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.”

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

And Joseph says to him, “This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

13 Yet 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.

yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head, and has put you back on your station, and you have given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when you were his butler.

14 But 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.

Surely if you have remembered me with you, when it is well with you, and have please done kindness with me, and have made mention of me to Pharaoh, then you have brought me out from this house,

15 For 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.

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

16 And 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.

And the chief of the bakers sees that he has interpreted good, and he says to Joseph, “I also [am] in a dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head,

17 And 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.

and in the highest basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh’s food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.”

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

And Joseph answers and says, “This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

19 Yet 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.

yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head from off you, and has hanged you on a tree, and the birds have eaten your flesh from off you.”

20 And 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.

And it comes to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he makes a banquet to all his servants, and lifts up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,

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

and he puts back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he gives the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;

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

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

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

and the chief of the butlers has not remembered Joseph, but forgets him.
