1 N ow some time later the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, Egypt’s king.

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 A nd Pharaoh was angry with his officers, the chief of the butlers and the chief of the bakers.

and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers,

3 H e put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.

and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph a prisoner,

4 A nd the captain of the guard put them in Joseph’s charge, and he served them; and they continued in custody for some time.

and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge.

5 A nd they both dreamed a 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 confined in the prison.

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 prisoners in the round-house.

6 W hen Joseph came to them in the morning and looked at them, he saw that they were sad and depressed.

And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they morose;

7 S o he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were in custody with him in his master’s house, Why do you look so dejected and sad today?

and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore your faces sad to-day?'

8 A nd they said to him, We have dreamed dreams, and there is no one to interpret them. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me, I pray you.

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 A nd the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said to him, In my dream I saw a vine before me,

And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine before me!

10 A nd on the vine were three branches. Then it was as though it budded; its blossoms burst forth and the clusters of them brought forth ripe grapes.

and in the vine three branches, and it as it were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have ripened grapes;

11 A nd Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup; then I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

and Pharaoh's cup 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 A nd Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

And Joseph saith to him, `This its interpretation: the three branches are three days;

13 W ithin three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will again put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, as when you were his butler.

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 B ut think of me when it shall be well with you and show kindness, I beg of you, to me, and mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.

`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 F or truly I was carried away from the land of the Hebrews by unlawful force, and here too I have done nothing for which they should put me into the dungeon.

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 W hen the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also dreamed, and behold, I had three cake baskets on my head.

And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted good, and he saith unto Joseph, `I also in a dream, and lo, three baskets of white bread on my head,

17 A nd in the uppermost basket were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating out of the basket on my head.

and in the uppermost basket of all of Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them out of the basket, from off my head.'

18 A nd Joseph answered, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

And Joseph answereth and saith, `This its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;

19 W ithin three days Pharaoh will lift up your head but will have you beheaded and hung on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh.

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 A nd on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker among his servants.

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 A nd he restored the chief butler to his butlership, and the butler gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;

and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh;

22 B ut hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath interpreted to them;

23 B ut the chief butler gave no thought to Joseph, but forgot him.

and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph, but forgetteth him.
