Genesis 40

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblia Matos Soares
1 Some time after this, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.	1 Depois disto, aconteceu que dois eunucos, o copeiro do rei do Egito e o padeiro, pecaram contra o seu senhor.
2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker,	2 Faraó, irado contra eles (um era chefe dos copeiros, e outro dos padeiros)
3 and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.	3 mandou-os meter no cárcere do chefe da guarda, no qual estava também preso José.
4 The captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he waited on them; and they continued for some time in custody.	4 O guarda do cárcere entregou-os a José que também os servia. Estiveram um certo tempo, ali, encarcerados.
5 And one night they both dreamed--the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison--each his own dream, and each dream with its own meaning.	5 Ambos, numa noite, tiveram um sonho, que, por sua interpretação, se referia a eles.
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, they were troubled.	6 Tendo ido José junto deles, pela manhã, e vendo-os tristes,
7 So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, "Why are your faces downcast today?"	7 interrogou-os: Por que razão está hoje o vosso semblante mais triste que de costume?
8 They said to him, "We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them." And Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, I pray you."	8 Eles responderam: Tivemos um sonho, e não há quem no-lo interprete. José disse-lhes: Porventura não pertence a Deus a interpretação? Contai-me o que vistes.
9 So the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream there was a vine before me,	9 O copeiro-mor foi o primeiro que contou o seu sonho: Eu via diante de mim uma cepa,
10 and on the vine there were three branches; as soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.	10 na qual havia três varas, crescer pouco a pouco em gomos, e, depois das flores, amadurecerem as uvas.
11 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."	11 (Eu tinha) a taça de Faraó na minha mão; tomei as uvas, espremi-as na taça, que tinha na mão, e apresentei de beber a Faraó.
12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days;	12 José respondeu: A interpretação do sonho é esta: As três varas são três dias ainda (que aqui estarás),
13 within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his butler.	13 depois dos quais se lembrará Faraó dos teus serviços e te restituirá ao antigo cargo: tu lhe apresentarás a taça conforme o teu oficio, como costumavas fazer antes.
14 But remember me, when it is well with you, and do me the kindness, I pray you, to make mention of me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.	14 Sòmente lembra-te de mim e usa para comigo de compaixão, quando fores feliz; solicita a Faraó que me tire deste cárcere,
15 For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."	15 porque, por fraude, fui tirado da terra dos Hebreus, e, estando inocente, fui lançado nesta prisão.
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,	16 Vendo o padeiro-mor que (José) tinha interpretado sabiamente o sonho, disse: Também eu tive um sonho: (parecia-me) ter três cestos de farinha sobre a minha cabeça,
17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head."	17 e que, no cesto que estava mais alto, levava todos os manjares, que a arte de padeiro pode preparar, e que as aves comiam dele.
18 And Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;	18 José respondeu: A interpretação do sonho é esta: Os três cestos são três dias ainda (que te restam),
19 within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head--from you!--and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat the flesh from you."	19 depois dos quais Faraó mandará tirar-te a cabeça, te suspenderá em uma forca, e as aves devorarão as tuas carnes.
20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.	20 (Com efeito) três dias depois, era o dia do nascimento de Faraó, o qual, dando um grande banquete aos seus criados, se lembrou à mesa do copeiro-mór e do padeiro-mór.
21 He restored the chief butler to his butlership, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand;	21 Restituiu um ao seu lugar, para lhe ministrar a taça,
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.	22 e mandou suspender o outro num patíbulo, pelo que foi comprovada a verdade do intérprete.
23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.	23 Não obstante sucederem-lhe prôsperamente as coisas, o copeiro-mór esqueceu-se do seu intérprete.
