Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Après ces choses, il arriva que l'Echanson du Roi d'Egypte, et le Panetier offensèrent le Roi d'Egypte, leur Seigneur.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
Et Pharaon fut fort irrité contre ces deux Eunuques, contre le grand Echanson, et contre le grand Panetier.
3 and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
Et les mit en garde dans la maison du Prévôt de l'hôtel, dans la prison étroite, au [même] lieu où Joseph était renfermé.
4 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.
Et le Prévôt de l'hôtel les mit entre les mains de Joseph, qui les servait; et ils furent [quelques] jours en prison.
5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
Et tous deux songèrent un songe, chacun son songe en une même nuit, [et] chacun selon l'explication de son songe; tant l'Echanson que le Panetier du Roi d'Egypte, qui [étaient] renfermés dans la prison.
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
Et Joseph vint à eux le matin, et les regarda; et voici ils étaient fort tristes.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
Et il demanda à [ces] Eunuques de Pharaon, qui [étaient] avec lui dans la prison de son maître, et leur dit: D'où vient que vous avez aujourd'hui si mauvais visage?
8 And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
Et ils lui répondirent: Nous avons songé des songes, et il n'y a personne qui les explique. Et Joseph leur dit: Les explications ne sont-elles pas de Dieu? Je vous prie, contez-moi [vos songes].
9 Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Et le grand Echanson conta son songe à Joseph, et lui dit: [Il me semblait] en songeant [que] je voyais un cep devant moi.
10 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
Et il y avait en ce cep trois sarments; et il était près de fleurir; sa fleur sortit, et ses grappes firent mûrir les raisins.
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Et la coupe de Pharaon était en ma main, et je prenais les raisins, et les pressais dans la coupe de Pharaon, et je lui donnais la coupe en sa main.
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
Et Joseph lui dit: Voici son explication: Les trois sarments sont trois jours.
13 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head and restore thee to thy place, and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his cup-bearer.
Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête, et te rétablira en ton [premier] état, et tu donneras la coupe à Pharaon en sa main, selon ton premier office, lorsque tu étais Echanson.
14 Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
Mais souviens-toi de moi quand ce bonheur te sera arrivé, et fais-moi, je te prie, cette grâce, que tu fasses mention de moi à Pharaon, et qu'il me fasse sortir de cette maison.
15 for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Car certainement j'ai été dérobé du pays des Hébreux; et même je n'ai rien fait ici pour quoi l'on dût me mettre en cette fosse.
16 And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
Alors le grand Panetier voyant que Joseph avait expliqué [ce songe] favorablement, lui dit: J'ai aussi songé, et il me semblait qu'[il y avait] trois corbeilles blanches sur ma tête.
17 And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Et dans la plus haute corbeille [il y avait] de toutes sortes de viandes du métier de boulanger, pour Pharaon; et les oiseaux les mangeaient dans la corbeille [qui était] sur ma tête.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
Et Joseph répondit, et dit: Voici son explication: Les trois corbeilles sont trois jours.
19 In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête de dessus toi, et te fera pendre à un bois, et les oiseaux mangeront ta chair de dessus toi.
20 And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
Et il arriva au troisième jour, [qui était] le jour de la naissance de Pharaon, qu'il fit un festin à tous ses serviteurs, et il fit sortir de prison le grand Echanson, et le maître Panetier, ses serviteurs.
21 And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Et il rétablit le grand Echanson dans son office d'Echanson, lequel donna la coupe à Pharaon.
22 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Mais il fit pendre le grand Panetier, selon que Joseph le leur avait expliqué.
23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
Cependant le grand Echanson ne se souvint point de Joseph; mais l'oublia.
