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.
His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Ægypti, et pistor, domino suo.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis præerat, alter pistoribus),
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.
misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Joseph.
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.
At custos carceris tradidit eos Joseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
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.
Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una, juxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
ad quos cum introisset Joseph mane, et vidisset eos 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?
sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
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.
Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Joseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
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;
Narravit prior, præpositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
10 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
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.
calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
Respondit Joseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
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.
post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem juxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
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;
Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
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.
quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebræorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
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.
Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium: quod tria canistra farinæ haberem super caput meum:
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 in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
Respondit Joseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
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.
post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
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.
Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
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.
Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
22 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut conjectoris veritas probaretur.
23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, præpositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
