< Genesis 40 >

1 And it was after the things these they sinned [the] cup bearer of [the] king of Egypt and the baker to master their to [the] king of Egypt.
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 And he was angry Pharaoh towards two of officials his towards [the] chief of the cup bearers and towards [the] chief of the bakers.
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 And he put them in [the] custody of [the] house of [the] commander of the bodyguards into [the] house of the prison [the] place where Joseph [was] imprisoned there.
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 And he appointed [the] commander of the bodyguards Joseph with them and he served them and they were days in custody.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them each own dream his in a night one each according to [the] interpretation of dream his the cup bearer and the baker who [belonged] to [the] king of Egypt who [were] imprisoned in [the] house of the prison.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 And he came to them Joseph in the morning and he saw them and [were] they looking dejected.
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 And he asked [the] officials of Pharaoh who [were] with him in [the] custody of [the] house of master his saying why? [are] faces your sad this day.
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8 And they said to him a dream we dreamed and [is one who] interprets there not it and he said to them Joseph ¿ not [belong] to God [do] interpretations recount [it] please to me.
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 And he recounted [the] chief of the cup bearers dream his to Joseph and he said to him in dream my and there! a vine [was] before me.
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10 And [were] on the vine three branches and it when [it was] budding it went up blossom its they ripened clusters its grapes.
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 And [the] cup of Pharaoh [was] in hand my and I took the grapes and I squeezed them into [the] cup of Pharaoh and I put the cup on [the] palm of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12 And he said to him Joseph this [is] interpretation its [the] three the branches [are] three days they.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
13 In again - three days he will lift up Pharaoh head your and he will restore you to office your and you will put [the] cup of Pharaoh in hand his according to the custom former when you were cup bearer his.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
14 That except you have remembered me with you when it will go well for you and you will do please with me loyalty and you will bring to remembrance me to Pharaoh and you will bring out me from the house this.
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.
15 For certainly I was stolen from [the] land of the Hebrews and also here not I have done anything that they have put me in the pit.
For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 And he saw [the] chief of the bakers that good he had interpreted and he said to Joseph also I in dream my and there! three baskets of white bread [were] on head my.
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 And [was] in the basket upper some of all [the] food of Pharaoh [the] work of a baker and the bird[s] [was] eating them from the basket from on head my.
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 And he answered Joseph and he said this [is] interpretation its [the] three the baskets [are] three days they.
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 In again - three days he will lift up Pharaoh head your from on you and he will hang you on a tree and it will eat the bird[s] flesh your from on you.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
20 And it was - on the day third ([the] day of *LAH(b)*) being born Pharaoh and he made a feast for all servants his and he lifted up [the] head of - [the] chief of the cup bearers and [the] head of [the] chief of the bakers in among servants his.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 And he restored [the] chief of the cup bearers to cup bearing his and he put the cup on [the] palm of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 And [the] chief of the bakers he hanged just as he had interpreted for them Joseph.
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 And not he remembered [the] chief of the cup bearers Joseph and he forgot him.
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
