Genesis 40
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ipinaliwanag ni Jose ang Dalawang Panaginip
40 1-2 Pagkatapos ng mga nangyaring ito, nagkasala sa Faraon[a] ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi niya ng alak at pinuno ng mga panadero. Lubhang nagalit ang hari sa dalawa niyang opisyal na ito. 3 Kaya ipinabilanggo niya ang mga ito sa bahay ng kapitan ng mga guwardya sa palasyo kung saan naroon din si Jose nakabilanggo. 4 Si Jose ang katiwala ng kapitan ng mga guwardya na nag-aalaga sa kanila. Nagkasama sila nang matagal sa bilangguan.
5 Isang gabi, nanaginip ang tagasilbi ng alak at ang panadero ng Faraon habang naroon sila sa bilangguan. Ang bawat isa sa kanila ay magkaiba ang panaginip at magkaiba rin ang kahulugan.
6 Kinaumagahan, pagpunta ni Jose sa kanila, nakita niyang nanlulupaypay sila. 7 Kaya tinanong niya sila, “Bakit kayo malungkot?”
8 Sumagot sila, “Nanaginip kasi kami pero walang makapagpaliwanag ng kahulugan nito.”
Sinabi ni Jose, “Ang Dios ang nagbibigay ng kaalaman sa pagpapaliwanag ng kahulugan ng mga panaginip. Sige, sabihin nʼyo sa akin kung ano ang mga panaginip ninyo.”
9 Kaya sinabi ng pinuno ng tagasilbi ng alak ang kanyang panaginip. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip ako na may isang puno ng ubas sa aking harapan 10 at itoʼy may tatlong sanga. Tumubo ito, namulaklak, at nahinog ang mga bunga. 11 Nakahawak daw ako sa saro ng Faraon at pumitas ng ubas, at piniga ko agad sa saro. Pagkatapos, ibinigay ko ang saro sa hari.”
12 Sinabi ni Jose, “Ito ang kahulugan ng panaginip mo: Ang tatlong sanga ay nangangahulugan ng tatlong araw. 13 Hindi matatapos ang tatlong araw, palalabasin ka ng Faraon sa bilangguan at pababalikin ka sa trabaho mo bilang tagasilbi ng kanyang alak. 14 Nawaʼy alalahanin mo ako kapag nasa mabuti ka nang kalagayan. At bilang pagpapakita ng kabutihan mo sa akin, banggitin mo rin ako sa Faraon para matulungan mo ako na makalabas sa bilangguan. 15 Sapagkat ang totoo, sapilitan lang akong dinala rito mula sa lupain ng mga Hebreo, at kahit dito ay wala rin akong nagawang kasalanan para ibilanggo ako.”
16 Nang marinig ng pinuno ng mga panadero na maganda ang kahulugan ng panaginip, isinalaysay din niya ang panaginip niya kay Jose. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip din ako na may dala-dala ako sa ulo ko na tatlong kaing na may mga laman na tinapay. 17 Ang ibabaw ng kaing ay may laman na ibaʼt ibang uri ng tinapay para sa Faraon, pero tinuka ito ng mga ibon.”
18 Sinabi ni Jose, “Ito ang kahulugan ng panaginip mo: Ang tatlong kaing ay nangangahulugan ng tatlong araw. 19 Hindi matatapos ang tatlong araw, palalabasin ka ng Faraon sa bilangguan pero ipapapatay ka niya at ibibitin ang bangkay mo sa kahoy, at tutukain ito ng mga ibon.”
20 Dumating ang ikatlong araw at ito ay kaarawan ng Faraon. Kaya nagpahanda siya para sa lahat ng opisyal niya. Pinalabas niya sa bilangguan ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi niya ng alak at ang pinuno ng mga panadero niya, at pinaharap sa kanyang mga opisyal. 21 Ibinalik niya ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi ng alak sa kanyang trabaho. 22 Pero ipinapatay niya ang pinuno ng mga panadero, at ibinitin ang bangkay nito sa puno. Nangyari lahat ang sinabi ni Jose sa kanila.
23 Pero hindi naalala ng pinuno ng mga tagasilbi ng alak si Jose.

Genesis 40
Living Bible
40 1-3 Some time later it so happened that the king of Egypt became angry with both his chief baker and his chief butler, so he jailed them both in the prison where Joseph was, in the castle of Potiphar, the captain of the guard, who was the chief executioner. 4 They remained under arrest there for quite some time, and Potiphar assigned Joseph to wait on them. 5 One night each of them had a dream. 6 The next morning Joseph noticed that they looked dejected and sad.
7 “What in the world is the matter?” he asked.
8 And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but there is no one here to tell us what they mean.”
“Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Tell me what you saw.”
9-10 The butler told his dream first. “In my dream,” he said, “I saw a vine with three branches that began to bud and blossom, and soon there were clusters of ripe grapes. 11 I was holding Pharaoh’s wine cup in my hand, so I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into it, and gave it to him to drink.”
12 “I know what the dream means,” Joseph said. “The three branches mean three days! 13 Within three days Pharaoh is going to take you out of prison and give you back your job again as his chief butler. 14 And please have some pity on me when you are back in his favor, and mention me to Pharaoh, and ask him to let me out of here. 15 For I was kidnapped from my homeland among the Hebrews, and now this—here I am in jail when I did nothing to deserve it.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the first dream had such a good meaning, he told his dream to Joseph, too.
“In my dream,” he said, “there were three baskets of pastries on my head. 17 In the top basket were all kinds of bakery goods for Pharaoh, but the birds came and ate them.”
18-19 “The three baskets mean three days,” Joseph told him. “Three days from now Pharaoh will take off your head and impale your body on a pole, and the birds will come and pick off your flesh!”
20 Pharaoh’s birthday came three days later, and he held a party for all of his officials and household staff. He sent for his chief butler and chief baker, and they were brought to him from the prison. 21 Then he restored the chief butler to his former position; 22 but he sentenced the chief baker to be impaled, just as Joseph had predicted. 23 Pharaoh’s wine taster, however, promptly forgot all about Joseph, never giving him a thought.

New International Version
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)
