Genesi 40

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent pincerna regis Aegypti et pistor domino suo.	1 After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
2 Iratusque pharao contra duos eunuchos, praepositum pincernarum et praepositum pistorum,	2 And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
3 misit eos in carcerem principis satellitum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph.	3 He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
4 Et princeps satellitum tradidit eos Ioseph, qui ministrabat eis. Aliquantulum temporis illi in custodia tenebantur.	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 Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi.	5 And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
6 Ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane et vidisset eos tristes,	6 And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
7 sciscitatus est eos dicens: “ Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra? ”.	7 He asked them, saying: Why is your oountenance sadder to day than usual?
8 Qui responderunt: “ Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis ”. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: “ Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? Referte mihi quid videritis ”.	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 Narravit praepositus pincernarum somnium suum: “ Videbam coram me vitem,	9 dummy verses inserted by amos
10 in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas et post flores uvas maturescere;	10 On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes :
11 calicemque pharaonis in manu mea. Tuli ergo uvas et expressi in calicem, quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum pharaoni ”.	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 Respondit Ioseph: “ Haec est interpretatio somnii: tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt,	12 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
13 post quos elevabit pharao caput tuum et restituet te in gradum pristinum; dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut facere ante consueveras.	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 Tantum memento mei, cum tibi bene fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam, ut suggeras pharaoni, ut educat me de isto carcere;	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 quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebraeorum et hic innocens in lacum missus sum ”.	15 dummy verses inserted by amos
16 Videns pistorum magister quod somnium in bonum dissolvisset, ait: “ Et ego vidi somnium, quod tria canistra farinae haberem super caput meum;	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 et in uno canistro, quod erat excelsius, portare me ex omnibus cibis pharaonis, qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere eos ”.
18 Respondit Ioseph: “ Haec est interpretatio somnii: tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt,	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 post quos auferet pharao caput tuum ac suspendet te in patibulo, et comedent volucres carnes tuas ”.	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 Exinde dies tertius natalicius pharaonis erat; qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis elevavit caput magistri pincernarum et caput pistorum principis in medio puerorum suorum;	20 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
21 restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum,	21 After which Pharao will take thy hand from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
22 alterum suspendit in patibulo, sicut interpretatus erat eis Ioseph.	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 Attamen praepositus pincernarum non est recordatus Ioseph, sed oblitus est interpretis sui.	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.
