Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
這些事以後，埃及王的司酒和司廚得罪了他們的主人埃及王。
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two [of] his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.
法郎於是對那兩個內臣，司酒長和司廚長發了怒，
3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
將他們囚在衛隊長府內的拘留所內，若瑟被囚禁的地方。
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.
衛隊長將他們交給若瑟，若瑟就照管他們。他們在拘留所內過了一些時日，
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, who [were] bound in the prison.
那兩個被囚在獄裏的埃及王的司酒和司廚，在同一夜裏，各作了一夢；每人的夢都有它的意義。
6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they [were] sad.
早晨若瑟到了他們那裏，見他們面有憂色，
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye [so] sad to-day?
便問那與他同在自己主人府中監獄裏的法郎內臣說：「為什麼你們今天面帶憂色﹖」
8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
他們回答說：「我們各作了一夢，沒有人能夠解釋。」若瑟對他們說：「解夢不是天主的事嗎﹖請你們講給我聽! 」
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
司酒長就將自己的夢講給若瑟聽，對他說：「我夢見在我前面有株葡萄樹。
10 And on the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as though it budded, [and] its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes:
樹上有三根枝子，剛發芽，就生出了花朵，花朵結了熟葡萄。
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.
我手拿著法郎的杯，將葡萄擠在法郎的杯中，將杯遞在法郎的手內。」
12 And Joseph said to him, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three branches [are] three days;
若瑟對他說：「這夢的意義就是：三根枝子是指的三天。
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
三天以內，法郎要高舉你，恢復你的職位：你仍將杯放在法郎的手中，像先前作他司酒時一樣；
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
但是，當你得志時，請你記得我，望你對我施恩，為我告訴法郎，救我出離這監牢；
15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
因為我不但是由希伯來人地被拐來的，而且在這裏我也沒有做過什麼使他們將我放在這地牢裏的事。」
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and behold, [I had] three white baskets on my head:
司廚長見他解得吉祥，便對若瑟說：「我也作了一夢，夢見在我的頭上有三筐白餅。
17 And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
最上面的筐內，有為法郎預備的各種食物，有飛鳥來啄食我頭上筐裏的食物。」
18 And Joseph answered, and said, This [is] the interpretation of it: The three baskets [are] three days:
若瑟回答說：「這夢的意義就是：三筐是指的三天。
19 Yet within 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.
三天以內，法郎要高舉你，將你懸在木架上，飛鳥要來啄食你的肉。」
20 And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
第三天，適逢法郎的生日，法郎為群臣擺設了盛宴，在群臣中將司酒長和司廚長提出來，
21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
恢復了司酒長的司酒職，再將杯放在法郎手中；
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
至於司廚長，卻被懸掛起來，正如若瑟對他們所解釋的。
23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
司酒長卻沒有記得若瑟，竟將他忘了。
