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 Aegypti 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 Pharao contra eos nam alter pincernis praeerat 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 aliquantum 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 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 praepositus pincernarum somnium 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 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 haec 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 magisterii tui et restituet te in gradum pristinum dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum sicut facere ante 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 tibi bene fuerit et facies mecum misericordiam ut suggeras Pharaoni et 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 Hebraeorum 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 haberem tria canistra farinae 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 haec 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,
exin dies tertius natalicius 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 regi 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 praepositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui
