< Genesis 40 >
1 And it cometh to pass, after these things — the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt;
His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Ægypti, et pistor, domino suo.
2 and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,
Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis præerat, alter pistoribus)
3 and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner,
misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph.
4 and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge.
At custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
5 And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who [are] prisoners in the round-house.
Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
6 And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they [are] morose;
ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes,
7 and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who [are] with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, 'Wherefore [are] your faces sad to-day?'
sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
8 And they say unto him, 'A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, 'Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'
Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
9 And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, 'In my dream, then lo, a vine [is] before me!
Narravit prior, præpositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
10 and in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;
in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
11 and Pharaoh's cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.'
calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
12 And Joseph saith to him, 'This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days;
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
13 yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler.
post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
14 'Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house,
Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
15 for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.'
quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebræorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
16 And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, 'I also [am] in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head,
Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium, Quod tria canistra farinæ haberem super caput meum:
17 and in the uppermost basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'
et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
18 And Joseph answereth and saith, 'This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
19 yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.'
post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
20 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants,
Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
21 and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;
Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
22 and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them;
alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut coniectoris veritas probaretur.
23 and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him.
Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, præpositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
