< Genesis 40 >

1 And after these things, the butler of the King of Egypt and his baker offended their lorde the King of Egypt.
וַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה חָ֥טְא֛וּ מַשְׁקֵ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְהָאֹפֶ֑ה לַאֲדֹנֵיהֶ֖ם לְמֶ֥לֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
2 And Pharaoh was angrie against his two officers, against the chiefe butler, and against the chiefe baker.
וַיִּקְצֹ֣ף פַּרְעֹ֔ה עַ֖ל שְׁנֵ֣י סָרִיסָ֑יו עַ֚ל שַׂ֣ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֔ים וְעַ֖ל שַׂ֥ר הָאֹופִֽים׃
3 Therefore he put them in ward in his chiefe stewardes house, in the prison and place where Ioseph was bound.
וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אֹתָ֜ם בְּמִשְׁמַ֗ר בֵּ֛ית שַׂ֥ר הַטַבָּחִ֖ים אֶל־בֵּ֣ית הַסֹּ֑הַר מְקֹ֕ום אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֹוסֵ֖ף אָס֥וּר שָֽׁם׃
4 And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph charge ouer them, and he serued them: and they continued a season in warde.
וַ֠יִּפְקֹד שַׂ֣ר הַטַּבָּחִ֧ים אֶת־יֹוסֵ֛ף אִתָּ֖ם וַיְשָׁ֣רֶת אֹתָ֑ם וַיִּהְי֥וּ יָמִ֖ים בְּמִשְׁמָֽר׃
5 And they both dreamed a dreame, eyther of them his dreame in one night, eche one according to the interpretation of his dreame, both the butler and the baker of the King of Egypt, which were bounde in the prison.
וַיַּֽחַלְמוּ֩ חֲלֹ֨ום שְׁנֵיהֶ֜ם אִ֤ישׁ חֲלֹמֹו֙ בְּלַ֣יְלָה אֶחָ֔ד אִ֖ישׁ כְּפִתְרֹ֣ון חֲלֹמֹ֑ו הַמַּשְׁקֶ֣ה וְהָאֹפֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁר֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲסוּרִ֖ים בְּבֵ֥ית הַסֹּֽהַר׃
6 And when Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, beholde, they were sad.
וַיָּבֹ֧א אֲלֵיהֶ֛ם יֹוסֵ֖ף בַּבֹּ֑קֶר וַיַּ֣רְא אֹתָ֔ם וְהִנָּ֖ם זֹעֲפִֽים׃
7 And he asked Pharaohs officers, that were with him in his masters warde, saying, Wherefore looke ye so sadly to day?
וַיִּשְׁאַ֞ל אֶת־סְרִיסֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אִתֹּ֧ו בְמִשְׁמַ֛ר בֵּ֥ית אֲדֹנָ֖יו לֵאמֹ֑ר מַדּ֛וּעַ פְּנֵיכֶ֥ם רָעִ֖ים הַיֹּֽום׃
8 Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe.
וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֔יו חֲלֹ֣ום חָלַ֔מְנוּ וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹתֹ֑ו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֜ם יֹוסֵ֗ף הֲלֹ֤וא לֽ͏ֵאלֹהִים֙ פִּתְרֹנִ֔ים סַפְּרוּ־נָ֖א לִֽי׃
9 So the chiefe butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said vnto him, In my dreame, behold, a vine was before me,
וַיְסַפֵּ֧ר שַֽׂר־הַמַּשְׁקִ֛ים אֶת־חֲלֹמֹ֖ו לְיֹוסֵ֑ף וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לֹ֔ו בַּחֲלֹומִ֕י וְהִנֵּה־גֶ֖פֶן לְפָנָֽי׃
10 And in the vine were three branches, and as it budded, her flowre came foorth: and the clusters of grapes waxed ripe.
וּבַגֶּ֖פֶן שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה שָׂרִיגִ֑ם וְהִ֤יא כְפֹרַ֙חַת֙ עָלְתָ֣ה נִצָּ֔הּ הִבְשִׁ֥ילוּ אַשְׁכְּלֹתֶ֖יהָ עֲנָבִֽים׃
11 And I had Pharaohs cup in mine hande, and I tooke the grapes, and wrung the into Pharaohs cup, and I gaue the cup into Pharaohs hand.
וְכֹ֥וס פַּרְעֹ֖ה בְּיָדִ֑י וָאֶקַּ֣ח אֶת־הָֽעֲנָבִ֗ים וָֽאֶשְׂחַ֤ט אֹתָם֙ אֶל־כֹּ֣וס פַּרְעֹ֔ה וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־הַכֹּ֖וס עַל־כַּ֥ף פַּרְעֹֽה׃
12 Then Ioseph sayde vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three braunches are three dayes.
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ יֹוסֵ֔ף זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנֹ֑ו שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַשָּׂ֣רִגִ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃
13 Within three dayes shall Pharaoh lift vp thine head, and restore thee vnto thine office, and thou shalt giue Pharaohs cup into his hand after the olde maner, when thou wast his butler.
בְּעֹ֣וד ׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֤א פַרְעֹה֙ אֶת־רֹאשֶׁ֔ךָ וַהֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֖ עַל־כַּנֶּ֑ךָ וְנָתַתָּ֤ כֹוס־פַּרְעֹה֙ בְּיָדֹ֔ו כַּמִּשְׁפָּט֙ הָֽרִאשֹׁ֔ון אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖יתָ מַשְׁקֵֽהוּ׃
14 But haue me in remembrance with thee, when thou art in good case, and shew mercie, I pray thee, vnto me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring me out of this house.
כִּ֧י אִם־זְכַרְתַּ֣נִי אִתְּךָ֗ כַּאֲשֶׁר֙ יִ֣יטַב לָ֔ךְ וְעָשִֽׂיתָ־נָּ֥א עִמָּדִ֖י חָ֑סֶד וְהִזְכַּרְתַּ֙נִי֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְהֹוצֵאתַ֖נִי מִן־הַבַּ֥יִת הַזֶּֽה׃
15 For I was stollen away by theft out of the land of the Ebrewes, and here also haue I done nothing, wherefore they should put mee in the dungeon.
כִּֽי־גֻנֹּ֣ב גֻּנַּ֔בְתִּי מֵאֶ֖רֶץ הָעִבְרִ֑ים וְגַם־פֹּה֙ לֹא־עָשִׂ֣יתִֽי מְא֔וּמָה כִּֽי־שָׂמ֥וּ אֹתִ֖י בַּבֹּֽור׃
16 And when the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretation was good, hee saide vnto Ioseph, Also mee thought in my dreame that I had three white baskets on mine head.
וַיַּ֥רְא שַׂר־הָאֹפִ֖ים כִּ֣י טֹ֣וב פָּתָ֑ר וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יֹוסֵ֔ף אַף־אֲנִי֙ בַּחֲלֹומִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֗ה שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה סַלֵּ֥י חֹרִ֖י עַל־רֹאשִֽׁי׃
17 And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner baken meates for Pharaoh: and the birdes did eate them out of the basket vpon mine head.
וּבַסַּ֣ל הָֽעֶלְיֹו֔ן מִכֹּ֛ל מַאֲכַ֥ל פַּרְעֹ֖ה מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֹפֶ֑ה וְהָעֹ֗וף אֹכֵ֥ל אֹתָ֛ם מִן־הַסַּ֖ל מֵעַ֥ל רֹאשִֽׁי׃
18 Then Ioseph answered, and saide, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three dayes:
וַיַּ֤עַן יֹוסֵף֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנֹ֑ו שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַסַּלִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃
19 Within three dayes shall Pharaoh take thine head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birdes shall eate thy flesh from off thee.
בְּעֹ֣וד ׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֨א פַרְעֹ֤ה אֶת־רֹֽאשְׁךָ֙ מֵֽעָלֶ֔יךָ וְתָלָ֥ה אֹותְךָ֖ עַל־עֵ֑ץ וְאָכַ֥ל הָעֹ֛וף אֶת־בְּשָׂרְךָ֖ מֵעָלֶֽיךָ׃
20 And so the third day, which was Pharaohs birthday, hee made a feast vnto all his seruants: and hee lifted vp the head of the chiefe butler, and the head of the chiefe baker among his seruants.
וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י יֹ֚ום הֻלֶּ֣דֶת אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה לְכָל־עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיִּשָּׂ֞א אֶת־רֹ֣אשׁ ׀ שַׂ֣ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֗ים וְאֶת־רֹ֛אשׁ שַׂ֥ר הָאֹפִ֖ים בְּתֹ֥וךְ עֲבָדָֽיו׃
21 And he restored the chiefe butler vnto his butlershippe, who gaue the cup into Pharaohs hande,
וַיָּ֛שֶׁב אֶת־שַׂ֥ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֖ים עַל־מַשְׁקֵ֑הוּ וַיִּתֵּ֥ן הַכֹּ֖וס עַל־כַּ֥ף פַּרְעֹֽה׃
22 But he hanged the chiefe baker, as Ioseph had interpreted vnto them.
וְאֵ֛ת שַׂ֥ר הָאֹפִ֖ים תָּלָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּתַ֛ר לָהֶ֖ם יֹוסֵֽף׃
23 Yet the chiefe butler did not remember Ioseph, but forgate him.
וְלֹֽא־זָכַ֧ר שַֽׂר־הַמַּשְׁקִ֛ים אֶת־יֹוסֵ֖ף וַיִּשְׁכָּחֵֽהוּ׃ פ
