创世记 40
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约瑟解梦
40 后来，埃及王的侍酒总管和膳食总管得罪了王， 2 王非常愤怒， 3 把他们囚禁在护卫长波提乏府内的监牢里，也就是约瑟被囚的地方。 4 护卫长派约瑟去伺候他们。他们在监里待了一段日子。
5 一天晚上，他们俩都做了梦，他们的梦各有不同的意思。 6 第二天早上，约瑟过来见他们神情沮丧， 7 就问：“你们今天为什么满面愁容？” 8 他们回答说：“我们都做了梦，可是没有人给我们解梦。”约瑟说：“解梦的能力不是来自上帝吗？请你们把梦告诉我。”
9 侍酒总管便把自己的梦告诉约瑟，说：“我梦见一棵葡萄树， 10 树上有三根枝子，枝子发芽开花，结满了成熟的葡萄。 11 我手上拿着法老的酒杯，摘下葡萄，把汁挤在酒杯中，然后递给法老。” 12 约瑟说：“这梦的意思是，三根枝子代表三天， 13 三天之内，法老必定释放你，恢复你侍酒总管的职位。你仍要和从前一样伺候法老饮酒。 14 当你再被重用的时候，请你记得恩待我，在法老面前提及我，救我出狱。 15 我是从希伯来人那里被拐来的，无辜被囚在监。”
16 膳食总管见梦解得好，就对约瑟说：“我也做了个梦，我梦见自己头上顶着三筐白饼， 17 最上面的一筐里放着为法老烤制的各种食物，有鸟来吃筐内的食物。” 18 约瑟说：“这梦的意思是，三筐就是三天， 19 三天之内，法老必砍下你的头，把你挂在木头上，鸟要来吃你的肉。”
20 第三天是法老的生日，他宴请文武百官，把侍酒总管和膳食总管从监牢里提出来， 21 恢复了侍酒总管的职位，让他仍旧伺候自己饮酒， 22 却处死了膳食总管，正应验了约瑟的话。 23 然而，法老的侍酒总管把约瑟忘了。

Joseph Interprets the Prisoners' Dreams
40 Some time later the king of Egypt's wine steward and his chief baker offended the king. 2 He was angry with these two officials 3 and put them in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same place where Joseph was being kept. 4 They spent a long time in prison, and the captain assigned Joseph as their servant.
5 One night there in prison the wine steward and the chief baker each had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings. 6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were upset. 7 He asked them, “Why do you look so worried today?”
8 They answered, “Each of us had a dream, and there is no one here to explain what the dreams mean.”
“It is God who gives the ability to interpret dreams,” Joseph said. “Tell me your dreams.”
9 So the wine steward said, “In my dream there was a grapevine in front of me 10 with three branches on it. As soon as the leaves came out, the blossoms appeared, and the grapes ripened. 11 I was holding the king's cup; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into the cup and gave it to him.”
12 Joseph said, “This is what it means: the three branches are three days. 13 In three days the king will release you, pardon you, and restore you to your position. You will give him his cup as you did before when you were his wine steward. 14 But please remember me when everything is going well for you, and please be kind enough to mention me to the king and help me get out of this prison. 15 After all, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here in Egypt I didn't do anything to deserve being put in prison.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation of the wine steward's dream was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I had a dream too; I was carrying three breadbaskets on my head. 17 In the top basket there were all kinds of baked goods for the king, and the birds were eating them.”
18 Joseph answered, “This is what it means: the three baskets are three days. 19 In three days the king will release you—and have your head cut off! Then he will hang your body on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh.”
20 On his birthday three days later the king gave a banquet for all his officials; he released his wine steward and his chief baker and brought them before his officials. 21 He restored the wine steward to his former position, 22 but he executed the chief baker. It all happened just as Joseph had said. 23 But the wine steward never gave Joseph another thought—he forgot all about him.
