< 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 butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had 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 furious with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, 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 in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
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 guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season 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, 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.
6 E veio José a eles pela manhã, e olhou para eles, e eis que estavam turbados.
And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon 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 officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Why look ye 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 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.
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,
And the chief butler 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 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:
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 I 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.
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.
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;
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:
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 away from 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;
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:
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 was of all manner of baked goods for Pharaoh; 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.
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.
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, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, 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.
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 butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
22 Mas ao padeiro-mór enforcou, como José havia interpretado.
But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 O copeiro-mór, porém, não se lembrou de José, antes esqueceu-se dele.
Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
