Genesis 40
1 While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.
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, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)
And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:
3 sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.
euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.
4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.
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 saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.
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 when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,
When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.
7 he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”
And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?
8 They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”
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 The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,
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 on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.
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 Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”
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 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,
And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.
13 after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.
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 Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead 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 I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the 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 The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above 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 one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
And in ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
18 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days,
Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes
19 after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”
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 The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.
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 one to his place, to present him the cup;
And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande
22 the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.
ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.
23 And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.
Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
