And it came to pass after these things, the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2 A nd Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker.

And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains—with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;

3 S o he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.

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.

4 A nd the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.

And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were days in custody.

5 T hen the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.

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.

6 A nd Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.

And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.

7 S o he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”

And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces sad to-day?

8 A nd they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”

And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, not interpretations to God? tell me, I pray you.

9 T hen the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

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;

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

and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.

11 T hen 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.”

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.

12 A nd Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days.

And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.

13 N ow within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.

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.

14 B ut remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

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;

15 F or indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

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.

16 W hen the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head.

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.

17 I n the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

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.

18 S o Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.

And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.

19 W ithin three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

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.

20 N ow it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

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.

21 T hen he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.

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.

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