Genesis 40

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 It happened some time later that the king of Egypt's cup-bearer and his baker offended their masterthe king of Egypt.	1 After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cup-bearer and the chief baker,	2 And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
3 and put them in custody in the house of the commander of the guard, in the gaol where Joseph was aprisoner.	3 He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
4 The commander of the guard assigned Joseph to them to attend to their wants, and they remained incustody for some time.	4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
5 Now both of them had dreams on the same night, each with its own meaning for the cup-bearer andthe baker of the king of Egypt, who were prisoners in the gaol.	5 And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they looked gloomy,	6 And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
7 and he asked the two officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, 'Why these sadlooks today?'	7 He asked them, saying: Why is your oountenance sadder to day than usual?
8 They replied, 'We have each had a dream, but there is no one to interpret it.' 'Are not interpretationsGod's business?' Joseph asked them. 'Tel me about them.'	8 They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Both not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed. g The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,
9 So the chief cup-bearer described his dream to Joseph, tel ing him, 'In my dream there was a vine infront of me.	9 dummy verses inserted by amos
10 On the vine were three branches; no sooner had it budded than it blossomed, and its clustersbecame ripe grapes.	10 On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes :
11 I had Pharaoh's cup in my hand; I picked the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and putthe cup into Pharaoh's hand.'	11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
12 'This is what it means,' Joseph told him. 'The three branches are three days.	12 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
13 In another three days Pharaoh wil lift up your head by restoring you to your position. Then you wilhand Pharaoh his cup, as you did before, when you were his cup-bearer.	13 After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shah present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
14 But be sure to remember me when things go wel with you, and keep faith with me by kindlyreminding Pharaoh about me, to get me out of this house.	14 Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
15 I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews in the first place, and even here I have done nothingto warrant being put in the dungeon.'	15 dummy verses inserted by amos
16 The chief baker, seeing that the interpretation had been favourable, said to Joseph, 'I too had adream; there were three wicker trays on my head.	16 For I was stolen away out of the land I of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
17 In the top tray there were al kinds of pastries for Pharaoh, such as a baker might make, and thebirds were eating them off the tray on my head.'
18 Joseph replied as fol ows, 'This is what it means: the three trays are three days.	18 The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I bed three baskets of meal upon my heed:
19 In another three days Pharaoh wil lift up your head by hanging you on a gallows, and the birds willeat the flesh off your bones.'	19 And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
20 And so it happened; the third day was Pharaoh's birthday and he gave a banquet for al his officials.Of his officials he lifted up the head of the chief cup-bearer and the chief baker,	20 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
21 the chief cup-bearer by restoring him to his cup-bearing, so that he again handed Pharaoh his cup;	21 After which Pharao will take thy hand from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
22 and by hanging the chief baker, as Joseph had explained to them.	22 The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a. great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
23 But the chief cup-bearer did not remember Joseph; he had forgotten him.	23 And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:
	24 The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
