1 While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord. Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt. Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain) And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner. and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody. The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody. The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another. And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
6 And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad, When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.
7 he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?” So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?” So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.” They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” “We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine, So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me, So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,
10 on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes. and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.” Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.” Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup and put the cup in his hand.”
12 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days, Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. “This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
13 after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.
14 Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison. Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
15 For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.” For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.” I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”
16 The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above my head, When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head, When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets of bread.
17 and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.” and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.” In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next three days, And Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.
19 after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.” In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.” Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh.”
20 The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain. On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:
21 And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup; He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand—
22 the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven. But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.
23 And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams. Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
