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.
II advint, après ces événements que l’échanson du roi d’Égypte et le panetier offensèrent leur maître, le roi d’Égypte.
2 And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
Pharaon, irrité contre ses deux officiers, le maître échanson et le maître panetier,
3 And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.
les fit mettre aux arrêts dans la maison du chef des gardes, dans la Rotonde, le même lieu où Joseph était captif.
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.
Le chef des gardes mit Joseph à leur disposition et celui ci les servit. Ils étaient depuis quelque temps aux arrêts,
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.
lorsqu’ils eurent un rêve tous les deux, chacun le sien, la même nuit et chacun selon le sens de son rêve; l’échanson et le panetier du roi d’Égypte, détenus dans la Rotonde.
6 Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
Joseph, étant venu près d’eux le matin, remarqua qu’ils étaient soucieux.
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?
II demanda aux officiers de Pharaon, qui étaient avec lui en prison chez son maître: "Pourquoi votre visage est-il sombre aujourd’hui?"
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.
Ils lui répondirent: "Nous avons fait un songe et il n’y a personne pour l’interpréter." Joseph leur dit: "L’Interprétation n’est elle pas à Dieu? Dites les moi, je vous prie."
9 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.
Le maître échanson raconta son rêve à Joseph, en disant: "Dans mon rêve, une vigne était devant moi.
10 And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
A cette vigne étaient trois pampres. Or, elle semblait se couvrir de fleurs, ses bourgeons se développaient, ses grappes mûrissaient leurs raisins.
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.
J’Avais en main la coupe de Pharaon; je cueillais les raisins, j’en exprimais le jus dans la coupe de Pharaon et je présentais la coupe à la main du roi."
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.
Joseph lui répondit: "En voici l’explication. Les trois pampres, ce sont trois jours.
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.
Trois jours encore et Pharaon te fera élargir et il te rétablira dans ton poste; et tu mettras la coupe de Pharaon dans sa main, comme tu le faisais précédemment en qualité d’échanson.
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.
Si tu te souviens de moi lorsque tu seras heureux, rends-moi, de grâce, un bon office: parle de moi à Pharaon et fais moi sortir de cette demeure.
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.
Car j’ai été enlevé, oui, enlevé du pays des Hébreux; et ici non plus je n’avais rien fait lorsqu’on m’a jeté dans ce cachot."
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.
Le maître panetier, voyant qu’il avait interprété dans un sens favorable, dit à Joseph: "Pour moi, dans mon songe j’avais trois corbeilles à claire voie sur la tête.
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.
La corbeille supérieure contenait tout ce que mange Pharaon en fait de boulangerie; et les oiseaux le becquetaient dans la corbeille, au dessus de ma tête."
18 And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.
Joseph répondit en ces termes: "En voici l’explication. Les trois corbeilles, ce sont trois jours.
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.
Trois jours encore et Pharaon te feratrancher la tête et attacher à un gibet; et les oiseaux viendront becqueter ta chair."
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.
Or, le troisième jour, anniversaire de la naissance de Pharaon, celui ci donna un banquet à tous ses serviteurs. II porta le maître échanson et le maître panetier sur la liste de ses serviteurs.
21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
Il préposa de nouveau le maître échanson à sa boisson et celui-ci présenta la coupe à la main de Pharaon;
22 And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.
et le maître panetier, il le fit pendre, ainsi que l’avait présagé Joseph.
23 Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Mais le maître échanson ne se souvint plus de Joseph, il l’oublia.
