1 A nd it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

Some time later, the man who carried the king’s cup and the man who made the king’s bread did wrong against the king of Egypt.

2 A nd Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

Pharaoh was angry with these two important men, the head cup-carrier and the head bread-maker.

3 A nd he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

So he put them in prison under the care of the head of the soldiers, the same place where Joseph was in prison.

4 A nd the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward.

The head of the soldiers had Joseph watch over them. He took care of them, and they were in prison for a long time.

5 A nd they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one 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.

One night both the cup-carrier and the bread-maker of the king of Egypt had a dream while they were in prison. Each man had his own dream, and each dream had its own meaning.

6 A nd Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.

When Joseph came in and looked at them in the morning, he saw that they were sad.

7 A nd he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in ward in his master's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?

So he asked these men who had worked for Pharaoh and who were with him in prison in his boss’s house, “Why are your faces so sad today?”

8 A nd they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.

They said to him, “We have had a dream and there is no one to tell us what it means.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not the meanings of dreams belong to God? Tell them to me.”

9 A nd the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

So the head cup-carrier told his dream to Joseph. He said, “In my dream, there was a vine in front of me.

10 a nd in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

And there were three branches on the vine. Then its flowers grew out. From the many flowers came grapes ready to eat.

11 a nd 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 hand.

Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. So I took the grapes and made wine from them and poured it into Pharaoh’s cup. And I put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.”

12 A nd Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;

Then Joseph said to him, “This is the meaning of it: The three branches are three days.

13 w ithin yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

Before three days are over, Pharaoh will give you honor and return you to your place of work. You will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand just like you did before when you were his cup-carrier.

14 B ut have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

But remember me when it is well with you, and show me kindness. Say a good word about me to Pharaoh. Get me out of this prison.

15 f or indeed I was stolen away 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 stolen from the land of the Hebrews. And here also I have done nothing for which they should put me in prison.”

16 W hen the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:

The head bread-maker saw that the meaning of the dream was good. He said to Joseph, “I had a dream also. There were three baskets of white bread on my head.

17 a nd in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

All kinds of food for Pharaoh were in the top basket. But the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”

18 A nd Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;

Then Joseph answered, “This is the meaning of it: The three baskets are three days.

19 w ithin yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

Within three days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and put your body up on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”

20 A nd it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that 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.

On the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a special supper for his servants. He gave honor to the head cup-carrier and the head bread-maker among his servants.

21 A nd he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

He returned the head cup-carrier to his place of work and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

22 b ut he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

But he killed the head bread-maker on a tree, just like Joseph had told them it would happen.

23 Y et did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

Yet the head cup-carrier did not remember Joseph. He forgot him.
