创世记 40
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
酒政膳长同夜得梦
40 这事以后,埃及王的酒政和膳长得罪了他们的主埃及王。 2 法老就恼怒酒政和膳长这二臣, 3 把他们下在护卫长府内的监里,就是约瑟被囚的地方。 4 护卫长把他们交给约瑟,约瑟便伺候他们。他们有些日子在监里。 5 被囚在监之埃及王的酒政和膳长二人同夜各做一梦,各梦都有讲解。 6 到了早晨,约瑟进到他们那里,见他们有愁闷的样子。 7 他便问法老的二臣,就是与他同囚在他主人府里的,说:“你们今日为什么面带愁容呢?” 8 他们对他说:“我们各人做了一梦,没有人能解。”约瑟说:“解梦不是出于神吗?请你们将梦告诉我。”
约瑟解酒政之梦
9 酒政便将他的梦告诉约瑟说:“我梦见在我面前有一棵葡萄树, 10 树上有三根枝子,好像发了芽,开了花,上头的葡萄都成熟了。 11 法老的杯在我手中,我就拿葡萄挤在法老的杯里,将杯递在他手中。” 12 约瑟对他说:“你所做的梦是这样解:三根枝子就是三天, 13 三天之内,法老必提你出监,叫你官复原职,你仍要递杯在法老的手中,和先前做他的酒政一样。 14 但你得好处的时候,求你记念我,施恩于我,在法老面前提说我,救我出这监牢。 15 我实在是从希伯来人之地被拐来的,我在这里也没有做过什么,叫他们把我下在监里。”
解膳长之梦
16 膳长见梦解得好,就对约瑟说:“我在梦中见我头上顶着三筐白饼, 17 极上的筐子里有为法老烤的各样食物,有飞鸟来吃我头上筐子里的食物。” 18 约瑟说:“你的梦是这样解:三个筐子就是三天, 19 三天之内,法老必斩断你的头,把你挂在木头上,必有飞鸟来吃你身上的肉。” 20 到了第三天,是法老的生日,他为众臣仆设摆筵席,把酒政和膳长提出监来, 21 使酒政官复原职,他仍旧递杯在法老手中, 22 但把膳长挂起来,正如约瑟向他们所解的话。 23 酒政却不记念约瑟,竟忘了他。

Joseph tells two people what their dreams mean
40 Some time later, two of the king's officers made him angry. One of them was the king's cupbearer.[a] The other was the king's baker.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, both the cupbearer and the baker. 3 Pharaoh put them in the same prison that Joseph was in. That was in the house of the captain of the king's guards. 4 They were in the prison for a long time. The captain of the guards made Joseph their servant, to help them. 5 One night, both of the king's officers had a dream. Each dream had its own meaning.
6 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were upset. 7 So Joseph asked the two officers, ‘What are you sad about?’ 8 They replied, ‘We both had dreams last night, but there is nobody to tell us what they mean.’ Joseph said, ‘Only God can tell you the meaning of dreams. Tell your dreams to me.’
9 So the king's cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said, ‘In my dream I saw a vine in front of me. 10 There were three branches on it. New leaves came on the branches, and then flowers came. After that, there were grapes which became ripe. 11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand. I took the grapes and I squeezed them. Then I put the juice into the cup and I gave the cup to Pharaoh.’
12 Joseph said, ‘This is what your dream means. The three branches tell us about three days. 13 In three days, Pharaoh will lift up your head and he will make you his officer again.[b] You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand, as you did before. 14 But when these good things happen to you, remember to be kind to me. Tell Pharaoh about me so that I will get out of this prison. 15 Men took hold of me in the land of the Hebrews and they brought me here. Even here, I have not done anything wrong. I should not be in this prison.’
16 The king's baker heard what Joseph had said to the cupbearer. He realized that the meaning of the cupbearer's dream was good. So he said to Joseph, ‘This was my dream: I had three baskets of bread on my head. 17 The top basket contained many different kinds of bread for Pharaoh. But birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.’
18 Joseph said, ‘This is what your dream means. The three baskets tell us about three days. 19 In three days, Pharaoh will lift off your head. He will hang you on a tree. Then birds will eat the meat off your body.’
20 Three days later, it was Pharaoh's birthday. He gave a feast for all his officers. He lifted up the head of the cupbearer and he lifted off the head of the baker! He brought them both out of the prison so that all his officers could see.
21 Pharaoh caused the cupbearer to be his own cupbearer again. As a result, the cupbearer put Pharaoh's cup into his hand again, as he did before. 22 But Pharaoh hanged the baker to kill him.
So it all happened in the way that Joseph said it would happen. 23 But the cupbearer did not think about Joseph at all. He completely forgot about him.

The Cupbearer and the Baker
40 Some time later, the cupbearer(A) and the baker(B) of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was angry(C) with his two officials,(D) the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, 3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,(E) in the same prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard(F) assigned them to Joseph,(G) and he attended them.
After they had been in custody(H) for some time, 5 each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream(I) the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.(J)
6 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody(K) with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”(L)
8 “We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.”(M)
Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God?(N) Tell me your dreams.”
9 So the chief cupbearer(O) told Joseph his dream. He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me, 10 and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed,(P) and its clusters ripened into grapes. 11 Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup and put the cup in his hand.”
12 “This is what it means,(Q)” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.(R) 13 Within three days(S) Pharaoh will lift up your head(T) and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.(U) 14 But when all goes well with you, remember me(V) and show me kindness;(W) mention me to Pharaoh(X) and get me out of this prison. 15 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews,(Y) and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”(Z)
16 When the chief baker(AA) saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation,(AB) he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets(AC) of bread.[a] 17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.(AD) 19 Within three days(AE) Pharaoh will lift off your head(AF) and impale your body on a pole.(AG) And the birds will eat away your flesh.”(AH)
20 Now the third day(AI) was Pharaoh’s birthday,(AJ) and he gave a feast for all his officials.(AK) He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker(AL) in the presence of his officials: 21 He restored the chief cupbearer(AM) to his position,(AN) so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand(AO)— 22 but he impaled the chief baker,(AP) just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.(AQ)
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.(AR)
