< Gênesis 40 >

1 E aconteceu depois destas coisas que pecaram o copeiro do rei do Egito, e o padeiro, contra o seu senhor, o rei do Egito.
And it came to pass after these things, [that] the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 E indignou-se faraó muito contra os seus dois eunucos, contra o copeiro-mór e contra o padeiro mór,
And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains — with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
3 E entregou-os em guarda, na casa do capitão da guarda, na casa do cárcere, no lugar onde José estava preso.
and he put them in custody into the house of the captain of the life-guard, into the tower-house, into the place where Joseph was imprisoned.
4 E o capitão da guarda deu cargo deles a José, para que os servisse; e estiveram muitos dias na prisão.
And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days in custody.
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 Egito, que estavam presos na casa do cárcere.
And they dreamed a dream, both of them in one night, each his dream, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup-bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were imprisoned in the tower-house.
6 E veio José a eles pela manhã, e olhou para eles, e eis que estavam turbados.
And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
7 Então perguntou aos eunucos de faraó, que com ele estavam no cárcere da casa de seu senhor, dizendo: Porque estão hoje tristes os vossos semblantes?
And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces [so] sad to-day?
8 E eles lhe disseram: Temos sonhado um sonho, e ninguém há que o intérprete. E José disse-lhes: Não são de Deus as interpretações? contai-mo, peço-vos.
And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [your dreams], I pray you.
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,
Then the chief of the cup-bearers told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 E na vide três sarmentos, e estava como brotando; a sua flôr saía, os seus cachos amadureciam em uvas:
and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 E o copo de faraó estava na minha mão, e eu tomava as uvas, e as espremia no copo de faraó, e dava o copo na mão de faraó.
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 Então disse-lhe José: Esta é a sua interpretação: os três sarmentos são três dias;
And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
13 Dentro ainda de três dias faraó levantará a tua cabeça, e te restaurará ao teu estado, e darás o copo de faraó na sua mão, conforme o costume antigo, quando eras seu copeiro.
In yet three days will 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 cup-bearer.
14 Porem lembra-te de mim, quando te for bem; e rogo-te que uses comigo de compaixão, e que faças menção de mim a faraó, e faze-me sair desta casa;
Only bear a remembrance with thee of me when it goes well with thee, and deal kindly, I pray thee, with me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
15 Porque, de fato, fui roubado da terra dos hebreus; e tão pouco aqui nada tenho feito para que me pusessem nesta cova.
for indeed I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 Vendo então o padeiro-mór que tinha interpretado bem, disse a José: Eu também sonhava, e eis que três cestos brancos estavam sobre a minha cabeça;
And when the chief of the bakers saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 E no cesto mais alto havia de todos os manjares de faraó, da obra de padeiro: e as aves o comiam do cesto de sobre a minha cabeça.
And in the uppermost basket there were all manner of victuals for Pharaoh that the baker makes, and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
18 Então respondeu José, e disse: Esta é a sua interpretação: os três cestos são três dias;
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
19 Dentro ainda de três dias faraó levantará a tua cabeça sobre ti, e te pendurará num pau, e as aves comerão a tua carne de sobre ti.
In yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hang thee on a tree; and the birds will eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 E aconteceu ao terceiro dia, o dia do nascimento de faraó, 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.
And it came to pass the third day — Pharaoh's birthday — that he made a feast to all his bondmen. And he lifted up the head of the chief of the cup-bearers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his bondmen.
21 E fez tornar o copeiro-mór ao seu ofício de copeiro, e deu o copo na mão de faraó,
And he restored the chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
22 Mas ao padeiro-mór enforcou, como José havia interpretado.
And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 O copeiro-mór, porém, não se lembrou de José, antes esqueceu-se dele.
But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
