< Genesis 40 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que o copeiro do rei do Egito e o padeiro transgrediram contra seu senhor o rei do Egito.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
E irou-se Faraó contra seus dois eunucos, contra o principal dos copeiros, e contra o principal dos padeiros:
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
E os pôs em prisão na casa do capitão dos da guarda, na casa do cárcere onde José estava preso.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward.
E o capitão dos da guarda deu responsabilidade deles a José, e ele lhes servia: e estiveram dias na prisão.
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
E ambos, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que estavam detidos na prisão, viram um sonho, cada um seu sonho em uma mesma noite, cada um conforme a declaração de seu sonho.
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
E veio a eles José pela manhã, e olhou-os, e eis que estavam tristes.
7 And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in ward in his master’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
E ele perguntou àqueles oficiais de Faraó, que estavam com ele na prisão da casa de seu senhor, dizendo: Por que parecem hoje mal vossos semblantes?
8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.
E eles lhe disseram: Tivemos um sonho, e não há quem o declare. Então lhes disse José: Não são de Deus as interpretações? Contai-o a mim agora.
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Então o chefe dos copeiros contou seu sonho a José, e disse-lhe: Eu sonhava que via uma vide diante de mim,
10 and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; [and] the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
E na vide três sarmentos; e ela como que brotava, e surgia sua flor, vindo a amadurecer seus cachos de uvas:
11 and Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
E que o copo de Faraó estava em minha mão, e tomava eu as uvas, e as espremia no copo de Faraó, e dava eu o copo em mão de Faraó.
12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
E disse-lhe José: Esta é sua declaração: Os três sarmentos são três dias:
13 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Ao fim de três dias Faraó te fará levantar a cabeça, e te restituirá a teu posto: e darás o copo a Faraó em sua mão, como costumavas quando eras seu copeiro.
14 But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Lembra-te, pois, de mim para contigo quando tiveres esse bem, e rogo-te que uses comigo de misericórdia, e faças menção de mim a Faraó, e me tires desta prisão:
15 for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Porque furtado fui da terra dos hebreus; e tampouco fiz aqui para que me houvessem de pôr no cárcere.
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:
E vendo o chefe dos padeiros que havia interpretado para o bem, disse a José: Também eu sonhava que via três cestos brancos sobre minha cabeça;
17 and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
E no cesto mais alto havia de todos os alimentos de Faraó, obra de padeiro; e que as aves as comiam do cesto de sobre minha cabeça.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
Então respondeu José, e disse: Esta é sua declaração: Os três cestos três dias são;
19 within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Ao fim de três dias tirará Faraó tua cabeça de sobre ti, e te fará enforcar na forca, e as aves comerão tua carne de sobre ti.
20 And it came to pass 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 butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
E foi o terceiro dia o dia do aniversário de Faraó, e fez banquete a todos os seus servos: e levantou a cabeça do chefe dos copeiros, e a cabeça do chefe dos padeiros, entre seus servos.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
E fez voltar a seu ofício ao chefe dos copeiros; e deu ele o copo em mão de Faraó.
22 but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Mas fez enforcar ao principal dos padeiros, como lhe havia declarado José.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
E o chefe dos copeiros não se lembrou de José, ao invés disso lhe esqueceu.
