< Genesis 40 >
1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker committed an offense, against their lord the king of Egypt.
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 was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guards, into the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.
4 And the captain of the guards charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in ward.
And the chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them and he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.
5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them, each his dream in one night, each in accordance with the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.
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 Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked at them, and, behold, they were sad.
When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.
7 And he asked the officers of Pharaoh that were with him in ward in his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly today?
And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?
8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it to me, I pray you.
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 of the butlers then told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
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 And on the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded, shot forth its blossoms, and on its clusters the grapes became ripe:
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 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them out into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
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 And Joseph said unto him, This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days;
And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.
13 Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thy office; and thou shalt place Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
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 Therefore if thou thinkest on me when it shall be well with thee, then show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
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 indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I not done the least that they should put me into the dungeon.
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 And when the chief of the bakers saw that he had well interpreted, he said unto Joseph, I also [saw] in my dream, and, behold, I had three baskets with fine bread on 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 the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats, used as food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket from my head.
And in ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days;
Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes
19 Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and will hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
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 And it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants.
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 chief of the butlers unto his butlership; and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;
And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande
22 But the chief of the bakers he hanged, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.
23 Yet the chief of the butlers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
