CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 While these things were going on, it happened that two eunuchs, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and the miller of grain, offended their lord.	1 After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
2 And Pharaoh, being angry with them, (now the one was in charge of the cupbearers, the other of the millers of grain)	2 And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
3 sent them to the prison of the leader of the military, in which Joseph also was a prisoner.	3 He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
4 But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, who ministered to them also. Some little time passed by, while they were held in custody.	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 And they both saw a similar dream on one night, whose interpretations should be related to one another.	5 And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
6 And when Joseph had entered to them in the morning, and had seen them sad,	6 And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
7 he consulted them, saying, “Why is your expression sadder today than usual?”	7 He asked them, saying: Why is your oountenance sadder to day than usual?
8 They responded, “We have seen a dream, and there is no one to interpret it for us.” And Joseph said to them, “Doesn’t interpretation belong to God? Recount for me what you have seen.”	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 The chief cupbearer explained his dream first. “I saw before me a vine,	9 dummy verses inserted by amos
10 on which were three shoots, which grew little by little into buds, and, after the flowers, it matured into grapes.	10 On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes :
11 And the cup of Pharaoh was in my hand. Therefore, I took the grapes, and I pressed them into the cup that I held, and I handed the cup to Pharaoh.”	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 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three shoots are the next three days,	12 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
13 after which Pharaoh will remember your service, and he will restore you to your former position. And you will give him the cup according to your office, as you were accustomed to do before.	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 Only remember me, when it will be well with you, and do me this mercy, to suggest to Pharaoh to lead me out of this prison.	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 For I have been stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and here, innocently, I was cast into the pit.”	15 dummy verses inserted by amos
16 The chief miller of grain, seeing that he had wisely unraveled the dream, said: “I also saw a dream: that I had three baskets of meal above 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 and in one basket, which was the highest, I carried all foods that are made by the art of baking, and the birds ate from it.”
18 Joseph responded: “This is the interpretation of the dream. The three baskets are the next 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 after which Pharaoh will carry away your head, and also suspend you from a cross, and the birds will tear your flesh.”	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 The third day thereafter was the birthday of Pharaoh. And making a great feast for his servants, he remembered, during the banquet, the chief cupbearer and the chief miller of grain.	20 Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
21 And he restored the one to his place, to present him the 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 the other he hanged on a gallows, and thus the truth of the interpreter of dreams was proven.	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 And although he advanced with so much prosperity, the chief cupbearer forgot his interpreter of dreams.	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.
