1 And it came to pass after these things, {that} the cup-bearer of the king of Egypt and the baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth with his two chamberlains-with the chief of the cup-bearers and with the chief of the bakers;
3 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 And the captain of the life-guard appointed Joseph to them, that he should attend on them. And they were {several} days in custody.
5 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 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked on them, and behold, they were sad.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's chamberlains that were with him in custody in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces {so} sad to-day?
8 And they said to him, We have dreamt a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, {Do} not interpretations {belong} to God? tell me {your dreams}, I pray you.
9 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 and in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded: its blossoms shot forth, its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 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 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days.
13 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 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 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 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 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 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it: the three baskets are three days.
19 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 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 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 And he hanged the chief of the bakers, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 But the chief of the cup-bearers did not remember Joseph, and forgot him.
1 Depois destas coisas o copeiro do rei do Egito e o seu padeiro ofenderam ao seu senhor, o rei do Egito.
2 Indignou-se Faraó contra os seus dois oficiais, contra o padeiro-mor e contra o copeiro-mor.
3 Mandou detê-los na casa do capitão da guarda, no cárcere, no lugar onde José estava preso.
4 O capitão da guarda deu a José o cargo deles; e estiveram por algum tempo em detenção.
5 Tiveram ambos um sonho, cada qual o seu sonho numa só noite, cada qual segundo a interpretação do seu sonho, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que se achavam presos na casa do cárcere.
6 Pela manhã entrou José a eles, e os viu, e eis que estavam turbados.
7 Perguntou, pois, aos oficiais de Faraó, que com ele estavam detidos na casa do seu senhor: Por que estão hoje tão tristes os vossos semblantes?
8 Responderam-lhe: Tivemos um sonho e não há quem o possa interpretar. Disse-lhes José: Porventura não pertencem a Deus as interpretações? contai-mo.
9 O copeiro-mor contou o seu sonho a José, e lhe disse: Eis que em meu sonho havia uma vide diante de mim,
10 e na vide três varas. Ao brotar a vide, saíram as suas flores e produziram os seus cachos uvas maduras.
11 O copo de Faraó estava na minha mão; e, tomando as uvas, espremi-as no copo de Faraó e entreguei-o a Faraó.
12 Respondeu José: Esta é a interpretação do sonho: as três varas são três dias;
13 dentro ainda de três dias levantará Faraó a tua cabeça e te restituirá ao teu cargo; darás o copo de Faraó na sua mão conforme o costume antigo quando eras o seu copeiro.
14 Porém lembra-te de mim, quando te for bem, e usa para comigo de compaixão, faze menção de mim a Faraó, e tira-me desta casa.
15 Pois, na verdade, fui roubado da terra dos hebreus; e também aqui nada tenho feito para que me pusessem na masmorra.
16 Vendo o padeiro-mor que a interpretação era boa, disse a José: Eu também sonhei, e eis que três cestos de pão branco estavam sobre a minha cabeça.
17 No cesto mais alto havia para Faraó manjares de todas as qualidades que fazem os padeiros; as aves comiam-nos do cesto que estava sobre a minha cabeça.
18 Respondeu-lhe José: Esta é a interpretação do sonho: os três cestos são três dias;
19 dentro ainda de três dias te tirará Faraó a cabeça e te suspenderá num madeiro; e as aves te comerão as carnes.
20 ao terceiro dia, que era o dia natalício de Faraó, deu este um banquete a todos os seus servos. Levantou a cabeça do copeiro-mor, e a cabeça do padeiro-mor no meio de seus servos.
21 Restituiu ao copeiro-mor o seu cargo de copeiro, para que entregasse o copo a Faraó,
22 mas enforcou ao padeiro-mor: como José lhes havia interpretado.
23 Contudo o copeiro-mor não se lembrou de José, porém dele se esqueceu.
