Genesis 40
1 And it comes to pass, after these things—the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt;
His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Ægypti, et pistor, domino suo.
2 and Pharaoh is angry against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,
Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis præerat, alter pistoribus)
3 and puts them in confinement in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,
misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph.
4 and the chief of the executioners charges Joseph with them, and he serves them; and they are in confinement [for some] days.
At custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
5 And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt has, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.
Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
6 And Joseph comes to them in the morning, and sees them, and behold, they [are] morose;
ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes,
7 and he asks Pharaoh’s eunuchs who [are] with him in confinement in the house of his lord, saying, “Why [are] your faces sad today?”
sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
8 And they say to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it”; and Joseph says to them, “Are interpretations not with God? Please recount to me.”
Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
9 And the chief of the butlers recounts his dream to Joseph and says to him, “In my dream, then behold, a vine [is] before me!
Narravit prior, præpositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
10 And in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up has its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;
in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
11 and Pharaoh’s cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.”
calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
12 And Joseph says to him, “This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days;
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
13 yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head, and has put you back on your station, and you have given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when you were his butler.
post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
14 Surely if you have remembered me with you, when it is well with you, and have please done kindness with me, and have made mention of me to Pharaoh, then you have brought me out from this house,
Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
15 for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they have put me in the pit [for].”
quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebræorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
16 And the chief of the bakers sees that he has interpreted good, and he says to Joseph, “I also [am] in a dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread [are] 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 highest basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh’s food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.”
et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
18 And Joseph answers and says, “This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
19 yet, within three days Pharaoh lifts up your head from off you, and has hanged you on a tree, and the birds have eaten your flesh from off you.”
post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
20 And it comes to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he makes a banquet to all his servants, and lifts up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,
Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
21 and he puts back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he gives the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;
Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
22 and the chief of the bakers he has hanged, as Joseph has interpreted to them;
alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut coniectoris veritas probaretur.
23 and the chief of the butlers has not remembered Joseph, but forgets him.
Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, præpositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
