Gênesis 40
1 E aconteceu depois d'estas coisas que peccaram o copeiro do rei do Egypto, e o padeiro, contra o seu senhor, o rei do Egypto.
Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 E indignou-se Pharaó muito contra os seus dois eunuchos, contra o copeiro-mór e contra o padeiro mór,
Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 E entregou-os em guarda, na casa do capitão da guarda, na casa do carcere, no logar onde José estava preso.
and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 E o capitão da guarda deu cargo d'elles a José, para que os servisse; e estiveram muitos dias na prisão.
The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 E ambos sonharam um sonho, cada um seu sonho na mesma noite, cada um conforme a interpretação do seu sonho, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egypto, que estavam presos na casa do carcere.
both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 E veiu José a elles pela manhã, e olhou para elles, e eis que estavam turbados.
When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 Então perguntou aos eunuchos de Pharaó, que com elle estavam no carcere da casa de seu senhor, dizendo: Porque estão hoje tristes os vossos semblantes?
So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8 E elles lhe disseram: Temos sonhado um sonho, e ninguem ha que o interprete. E José disse-lhes: Não são de Deus as interpretações? contae-m'o, peço-vos.
“We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 Então contou o copeiro-mór o seu sonho a José, e disse-lhe: Eis que em meu sonho havia uma vide diante da minha face,
So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream: “In my dream there was a vine before me,
10 E na vide tres sarmentos, e estava como brotando; a sua flôr sahia, os seus cachos amadureciam em uvas:
and on the vine were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 E o copo de Pharaó estava na minha mão, e eu tomava as uvas, e as espremia no copo de Pharaó, e dava o copo na mão de Pharaó.
Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into his cup, and placed the cup in his hand.”
12 Então disse-lhe José: Esta é a sua interpretação: os tres sarmentos são tres dias;
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.
13 Dentro ainda de tres dias Pharaó levantará a tua cabeça, e te restaurará ao teu estado, e darás o copo de Pharaó na sua mão, conforme o costume antigo, quando eras seu copeiro.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore your position. You will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.
14 Porem lembra-te de mim, quando te fôr bem; e rogo-te que uses commigo de compaixão, e que faças menção de mim a Pharaó, e faze-me sair d'esta casa;
But when it goes well for you, please remember me and show me kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, that he might bring me out of this prison.
15 Porque, de facto, fui roubado da terra dos hebreus; e tão pouco aqui nada tenho feito para que me puzessem n'esta cova.
For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 Vendo então o padeiro-mór que tinha interpretado bem, disse a José: Eu tambem sonhava, e eis que tres cestos brancos estavam sobre a minha cabeça;
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 E no cesto mais alto havia de todos os manjares de Pharaó, da obra de padeiro: e as aves o comiam do cesto de sobre a minha cabeça.
In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Então respondeu José, e disse: Esta é a sua interpretação: os tres cestos são tres dias;
Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 Dentro ainda de tres dias Pharaó levantará a tua cabeça sobre ti, e te pendurará n'um pau, e as aves comerão a tua carne de sobre ti.
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
20 E aconteceu ao terceiro dia, o dia do nascimento de Pharaó, que fez um banquete a todos os seus servos; e levantou a cabeça do copeiro-mór, e a cabeça do padeiro-mór, no meio dos seus servos.
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 E fez tornar o copeiro-mór ao seu officio de copeiro, e deu o copo na mão de Pharaó,
Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 Mas ao padeiro-mór enforcou, como José havia interpretado.
But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 O copeiro-mór, porém, não se lembrou de José, antes esqueceu-se d'elle.
The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
