< 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.
Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;
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.
And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker;
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 he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.
4 And he appointed [the] commander of the bodyguards Joseph with them and he served them and they were days in custody.
And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison 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.
And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.
6 And he came to them Joseph in the morning and he saw them and [were] they looking dejected.
And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.
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.
And he said to the servants of Pharaoh who were in prison with him, Why are you looking so sad?
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.
Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?
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.
Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw 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; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.
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.
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and crushing them into Pharaoh's cup, gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 And he said to him Joseph this [is] interpretation its [the] three the branches [are] three days they.
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: 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.
After three days Pharaoh will give you honour, and put you back into your place, and you will give him his cup as you did before, when you were his wine-servant.
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 keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get 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 truly I was taken by force from the land of the Hebrews; and I have done nothing for which I might be put in prison.
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.
Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream; and in my 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.
And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.
18 And he answered Joseph and he said this [is] interpretation its [the] three the baskets [are] three days they.
Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: 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.
After three days Pharaoh will take you out of prison, hanging you on a tree, so that your flesh will be food for birds.
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.
Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.
21 And he restored [the] chief of the cup bearers to cup bearing his and he put the cup on [the] palm of Pharaoh.
And he put the chief wine-servant back in his old place; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 And [the] chief of the bakers he hanged just as he had interpreted for them Joseph.
But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.
23 And not he remembered [the] chief of the cup bearers Joseph and he forgot him.
But the wine-servant did not keep Joseph in mind or give a thought to him.
