< 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.
And after these things, the butler of the King of Egypt and his baker offended their lorde 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.
And Pharaoh was angrie against his two officers, against the chiefe butler, and against the chiefe 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.
Therefore he put them in ward in his chiefe stewardes house, in the prison and place where Ioseph was bound.
4 And he appointed [the] commander of the bodyguards Joseph with them and he served them and they were days in custody.
And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph charge ouer them, and he serued them: and they continued a season in warde.
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 they both dreamed a dreame, eyther of them his dreame in one night, eche one according to the interpretation of his dreame, both the butler and the baker of the King of Egypt, which were bounde in the prison.
6 And he came to them Joseph in the morning and he saw them and [were] they looking dejected.
And when Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, beholde, they were 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 asked Pharaohs officers, that were with him in his masters warde, saying, Wherefore looke ye so sadly to day?
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.
Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe.
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 chiefe butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said vnto him, In my dreame, behold, a vine was 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 in the vine were three branches, and as it budded, her flowre came foorth: and the clusters of grapes waxed ripe.
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 I had Pharaohs cup in mine hande, and I tooke the grapes, and wrung the into Pharaohs cup, and I gaue the cup into Pharaohs hand.
12 And he said to him Joseph this [is] interpretation its [the] three the branches [are] three days they.
Then Ioseph sayde vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three braunches are three dayes.
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 dayes shall Pharaoh lift vp thine head, and restore thee vnto thine office, and thou shalt giue Pharaohs cup into his hand after the olde maner, when thou wast his butler.
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 haue me in remembrance with thee, when thou art in good case, and shew mercie, I pray thee, vnto me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring me out of this house.
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 stollen away by theft out of the land of the Ebrewes, and here also haue I done nothing, wherefore they should put mee in the 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.
And when the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretation was good, hee saide vnto Ioseph, Also mee thought in my dreame that I had three white baskets on mine 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 vppermost basket there was of all maner baken meates for Pharaoh: and the birdes did eate them out of the basket vpon mine head.
18 And he answered Joseph and he said this [is] interpretation its [the] three the baskets [are] three days they.
Then Ioseph answered, and saide, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three dayes:
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 dayes shall Pharaoh take thine head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birdes shall eate thy flesh from off thee.
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.
And so the third day, which was Pharaohs birthday, hee made a feast vnto all his seruants: and hee lifted vp the head of the chiefe butler, and the head of the chiefe baker among his seruants.
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 restored the chiefe butler vnto his butlershippe, who gaue the cup into Pharaohs hande,
22 And [the] chief of the bakers he hanged just as he had interpreted for them Joseph.
But he hanged the chiefe baker, as Ioseph had interpreted vnto them.
23 And not he remembered [the] chief of the cup bearers Joseph and he forgot him.
Yet the chiefe butler did not remember Ioseph, but forgate him.
