Genesis 40
1 And it chaunced after this that the chefe butlar of the kynge of Egipte and his chefe baker had offended there lorde the kynge of Egypte.
It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
3 euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.
So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
4 And the chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them and he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
5 And they dreamed ether of them in one nyghte: both the butlar and the baker of the kynge of Egipte which were bownde in the preson house ether of them his dreame and eche manes dreame of a sondrie interpretation
And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.
Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
7 And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?
He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
8 They answered him we haue dreamed a dreame and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto the. Interpretynge belongeth to God but tel me yet.
They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
9 And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph and sayde vnto him. In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before me
The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
10 and in the vyne were. iij. braunches and it was as though it budded and her blossos shottforth: and ye grapes there of waxed rype.
and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe and delyvered Pharaos cuppe into his hande.
Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
12 And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.
Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
13 The. iij. braunches ar thre dayes: for within thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine heade and restore the vnto thyne office agayne and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to his hade after the old maner even as thou dydest when thou wast his butlar.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
14 But thinke on me with the when thou art in good case and shewe mercie vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao and helpe to brynge me out of this house:
But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
15 for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues and here also haue I done nothige at all wherfore they shulde haue put me in to this dongeon.
For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
16 When the chefe baker sawe that he had well interpretate it he sayde vnto Ioseph me thought also in my dreame yt I had. iij. wyker baskettes on my heade?
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 And in ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
18 Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes
Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
19 for this daye. iij. dayes shall Pharao take thy heade from the and shall hange the on a tree and the byrdes shall eate thy flesh from of the.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
20 And it came to passe the thyrde daye which was Pharaos byrth daye that he made a feast vnto all his servauntes. And he lyfted vpp the head of the chefe buttelar and of the chefe baker amonge his servauntes.
And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande
He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
22 ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.
but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
