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 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 Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:

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

euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.

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 chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them and he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.

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

When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.

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 today?

And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?

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.

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 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was 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 in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

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

And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.

13 Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.

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 remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.

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 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 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 And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

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 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 ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade

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

Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes

19 Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.

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

And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande

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

ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.

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

Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
