< Gênesis 40 >

1 E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que o copeiro do rei do Egito e o padeiro transgrediram contra seu senhor o rei do Egito.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker committed an offense, against their lord the king of Egypt.
2 E irou-se Faraó contra seus dois eunucos, contra o principal dos copeiros, e contra o principal dos padeiros:
And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 E os pôs em prisão na casa do capitão dos da guarda, na casa do cárcere onde José estava preso.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guards, into the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
4 E o capitão dos da guarda deu responsabilidade deles a José, e ele lhes servia: e estiveram dias na prisão.
And the captain of the guards charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in ward.
5 E ambos, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que estavam detidos na prisão, viram um sonho, cada um seu sonho em uma mesma noite, cada um conforme a declaração de seu sonho.
And they dreamed a dream, both of them, each his dream in one night, each in accordance with the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison.
6 E veio a eles José pela manhã, e olhou-os, e eis que estavam tristes.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked at them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 E ele perguntou àqueles oficiais de Faraó, que estavam com ele na prisão da casa de seu senhor, dizendo: Por que parecem hoje mal vossos semblantes?
And he asked the officers of Pharaoh that were with him in ward in his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly today?
8 E eles lhe disseram: Tivemos um sonho, e não há quem o declare. Então lhes disse José: Não são de Deus as interpretações? Contai-o a mim agora.
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none to interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it to me, I pray you.
9 Então o chefe dos copeiros contou seu sonho a José, e disse-lhe: Eu sonhava que via uma vide diante de mim,
The chief of the butlers then 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 ela como que brotava, e surgia sua flor, vindo a amadurecer seus cachos de uvas:
And on the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded, shot forth its blossoms, and on its clusters the grapes became ripe:
11 E que o copo de Faraó estava em minha mão, e tomava eu as uvas, e as espremia no copo de Faraó, e dava eu o copo em mão de Faraó.
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them out into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 E disse-lhe José: Esta é sua declaração: Os três sarmentos são três dias:
And Joseph said unto him, This is its interpretation: The three branches are three days;
13 Ao fim de três dias Faraó te fará levantar a cabeça, e te restituirá a teu posto: e darás o copo a Faraó em sua mão, como costumavas quando eras seu copeiro.
Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thy office; and thou shalt place Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14 Lembra-te, pois, de mim para contigo quando tiveres esse bem, e rogo-te que uses comigo de misericórdia, e faças menção de mim a Faraó, e me tires desta prisão:
Therefore if thou thinkest on me when it shall be well with thee, then show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house;
15 Porque furtado fui da terra dos hebreus; e tampouco fiz aqui para que me houvessem de pôr no cárcere.
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I not done the least that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 E vendo o chefe dos padeiros que havia interpretado para o bem, disse a José: Também eu sonhava que via três cestos brancos sobre minha cabeça;
And when the chief of the bakers saw that he had well interpreted, he said unto Joseph, I also [saw] in my dream, and, behold, I had three baskets with fine bread on my head:
17 E no cesto mais alto havia de todos os alimentos de Faraó, obra de padeiro; e que as aves as comiam do cesto de sobre minha cabeça.
And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats, used as food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket from my head.
18 Então respondeu José, e disse: Esta é sua declaração: Os três cestos três dias são;
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days;
19 Ao fim de três dias tirará Faraó tua cabeça de sobre ti, e te fará enforcar na forca, e as aves comerão tua carne de sobre ti.
Within yet three days will Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and will hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 E foi o terceiro dia o dia do aniversário de Faraó, e fez banquete a todos os seus servos: e levantou a cabeça do chefe dos copeiros, e a cabeça do chefe dos padeiros, entre seus servos.
And it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief of the butlers and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants.
21 E fez voltar a seu ofício ao chefe dos copeiros; e deu ele o copo em mão de Faraó.
And he restored the chief of the butlers unto his butlership; and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;
22 Mas fez enforcar ao principal dos padeiros, como lhe havia declarado José.
But the chief of the bakers he hanged, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 E o chefe dos copeiros não se lembrou de José, ao invés disso lhe esqueceu.
Yet the chief of the butlers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
