| [1]And after these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt. |
[1]And it cometh to pass, after these things -- the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt; |
| [2]And Pharaoh was angry against his two officers, against the chief butler, and against the chief baker. |
[2]and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers, |
| [3]Therefore he put them in ward in his chief steward's house, in the prison and place where Joseph was bound. |
[3]and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph [is] a prisoner, |
| [4]And the chief steward gave Joseph charge over them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. |
[4]and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge. |
| [5]And they both dreamed a dream, either of them his dream in one night, each one according to the interpretation of his dream, both the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. |
[5]And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who [are] prisoners in the round-house. |
| [6]And when Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, behold, they were sad. |
[6]And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they [are] morose; |
| [7]And he asked Pharaoh's officers, that were with him in his master's ward, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly today? |
[7]and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who [are] with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore [are] your faces sad to-day?' |
| [8]Who answered him, We have dreamed, each one a dream, and there is none to interpret the same. Then Joseph said unto them, Are not interpretations of God? Tell them me now. |
[8]And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.' |
| [9]So the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said unto him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me, |
[9]And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine [is] before me! |
| [10]And in the vine were three branches, and as it budded, her flower came forth: and the clusters of grapes waxed ripe. |
[10]and in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes; |
| [11]And I had Pharaoh's cup in mine hand, and I took the grapes, and wrung them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. |
[11]and Pharaoh's cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into the hand of Pharaoh.' |
| [12]Then Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days. |
[12]And Joseph saith to him, `This [is] its interpretation: the three branches are three days; |
| [13]Within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thine office, and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand after the old manner, when thou wast his butler. |
[13]yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when thou wast his butler. |
| [14]But have me in remembrance with thee, when thou art in good case, and show mercy, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring me out of this house. |
[14]`Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me, and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou brought me out from this house, |
| [15]For I was stolen away by theft out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing, wherefore they should put me in the dungeon. |
[15]for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the pit.' |
| [16]And when the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, Also me thought in my dream that I had three white baskets on mine head. |
[16]And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, `I also [am] in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head, |
| [17]And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner baked meats for Pharaoh: and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon mine head. |
[17]and in the uppermost basket [are] of all [kinds] of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.' |
| [18]Then Joseph answered, and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: |
[18]And Joseph answereth and saith, `This [is] its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; |
| [19]Within three days shall Pharaoh take thine head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. |
[19]yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have eaten thy flesh from off thee.' |
| [20]And so the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler, and the head of the chief baker among his servants. |
[20]And it cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head of the chief of the bakers among his servants, |
| [21]And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership, who gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand, |
[21]and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh; |
| [22]But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted unto them. |
[22]and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them; |
| [23]Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. |
[23]and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him. |
