1 AND it came to pass after these things that the chief butler of the king of Egypt and the chief baker had 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 against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against 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 into the prison in the house of the commander of the guard, in the ward where Joseph was bound. 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 commander of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they remained for some time in the prison. 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 dreamed, each man his own dream in the same 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. 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 saw 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 So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in the prison of his master's house, saying, Why do you look so sad today? 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 dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Behold, the interpretations belong to God; tell them to me. 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 butler 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 when it budded, its blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe 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 I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hands. 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 your dream: 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 After three days Pharaoh shall remember you and restore you to your position; and you shall give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, as you did before when you were his butler. 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 But remember me when it shall be well with you, and do me a favor and justice, and make mention of me in the presence of Pharaoh, and bring me out of this prison 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 away out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the prison. 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 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and, behold. I had three baskets containing white bread 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 was of every kind of food for Pharaoh, prepared by a baker; and the birds of prey were eating it out of the basket on 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 to him, This is the interpretation of your dream: 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 After three days Pharaoh shall have you beheaded, and then shall crucify you on a tree, and the birds of prey shall eat your flesh from off you. 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 on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a banquet for all his servants; and he remembered the chief butler and the chief baker among his servants. 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 butler to his position; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hands: 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 But he crucified the chief baker, 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 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
