1 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. 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 was wroth with his two chamberlains -- with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers; 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 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. 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 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were [several] days 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 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. 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 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were 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 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? 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 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. 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 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; 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 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened 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 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. 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 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are 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 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. 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 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; 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 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. 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 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. 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 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. 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 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are 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 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. 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 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. 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 chief of the cup-bearers to his office of cup-bearer again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. 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 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 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 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him. Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
