40 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

And the chief butler 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, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.

The Prisoners’ Dreams

40 It came to pass after these things that the (A)butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was (B)angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker. (C)So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined. And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.

Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, (D)had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were [a]sad. So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, (E)“Why do you look so sad today?”

And they said to him, (F)“We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.”

So Joseph said to them, (G)“Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”

Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, 10 and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. 11 Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”

12 And Joseph said to him, (H)“This is the interpretation of it: The three branches (I)are three days. 13 Now within three days Pharaoh will (J)lift up your head and restore you to your [b]place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler. 14 But (K)remember me when it is well with you, and (L)please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. 15 For indeed I was (M)stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; (N)and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three [c]white baskets on my head. 17 In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”

18 So Joseph answered and said, (O)“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19 (P)Within three days Pharaoh will lift [d]off your head from you and (Q)hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”

20 Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s (R)birthday, that he (S)made a feast for all his servants; and he (T)lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21 Then he (U)restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and (V)he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. 22 But he (W)hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but (X)forgot him.

Ipinaliwanag ni Jose ang Panaginip ng mga Bilanggo

40 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, ang katiwala ng kopa ng hari at ang kanyang panadero ay nagkasala laban sa kanilang panginoon na hari ng Ehipto.

Nagalit ang Faraon laban sa kanyang dalawang tagapamahala, sa puno ng mga katiwala ng kopa at sa puno ng mga panadero.

Sila'y ibinilanggo sa bahay ng kapitan ng bantay, sa bilangguang kinapipiitan ni Jose.

Si Jose ay inatasan ng kapitan ng bantay na mamahala sa kanila at sila'y kanyang pinaglingkuran. Sila'y nasa bilangguan nang maraming mga araw.

Isang gabi, ang katiwala ng kopa at ang panadero ng hari sa Ehipto na nasa bilangguan ay kapwa nanaginip, at ang bawat panaginip ay may kanya-kanyang kahulugan.

Kinaumagahan, dumating si Jose sa kanila. Siya'y tumingin sa kanila at nakita niyang sila'y balisa.

Kaya't tinanong niya ang mga tagapamahala ng Faraon na mga kasama niya sa bilangguan sa bahay ng kanyang panginoon, “Bakit balisa kayo ngayon?”

Kanilang sinabi sa kanya, “Kami ay nanaginip at walang sinumang makapagpaliwanag.” Sinabi sa kanila ni Jose, “Hindi ba mula sa Diyos ang mga paliwanag? Sabihin ninyo sa akin.”

Kaya't isinalaysay ng puno ng mga katiwala ng kopa ang kanyang panaginip kay Jose at sinabi sa kanya, “Sa aking panaginip ay may isang puno ng ubas sa aking harapan.

10 Sa puno ng ubas ay may tatlong sanga. Sa pagsipot ng dahon nito, ito ay namulaklak at ang mga buwig niyon ay naging mga ubas na hinog.

11 Ang kopa ng Faraon ay nasa aking kamay; at kinuha ko ang mga ubas at aking piniga ang mga ito sa kopa ng Faraon, at ibinigay ko ang kopa sa kamay ng Faraon.”

12 At sinabi ni Jose sa kanya, “Ito ang kahulugan niyon: ang tatlong sanga ay tatlong araw.

13 Sa loob ng tatlong araw ay itataas ng Faraon ang iyong ulo, at ibabalik ka sa iyong katungkulan, at ibibigay mo ang kopa ni Faraon sa kanyang kamay, gaya ng karaniwang dati mong ginagawa nang ikaw ay kanyang katiwala.

14 Subalit alalahanin mo ako kapag ikaw ay napabuti na, at hinihiling ko sa iyo na gumawa ka ng mabuti sa akin, at banggitin mo ako sa Faraon, at ako'y ilabas mo sa bahay na ito.

15 Ako'y tunay na ninakaw sa lupain ng mga Hebreo, at dito naman ay wala akong ginagawang anuman upang ako'y ilagay nila sa bilangguan.”

16 Nang makita ng puno ng mga panadero na ang kahulugan ay mabuti ay sinabi niya kay Jose, “Ako'y nanaginip din, at may tatlong kaing ng maputing tinapay ang nasa ibabaw ng aking ulo.

17 Sa ibabaw ng kaing ay naroon ang lahat ng uri ng pagkain para sa Faraon. Subalit ito ay kinakain ng mga ibon mula sa kaing na nasa ibabaw ng aking ulo.”

18 Si Jose ay sumagot, “Ito ang kahulugan niyon: ang tatlong kaing ay tatlong araw.

19 Sa loob ng tatlong araw ay itataas ng Faraon ang iyong ulo, at ibibitin ka sa isang punungkahoy, at kakainin ng mga ibon ang iyong laman.”

20 Nang ikatlong araw, na siyang kapanganakan ng Faraon, gumawa siya ng isang handaan para sa lahat ng kanyang mga lingkod. Ipinatawag niya[a] ang puno ng mga katiwala ng kopa, at ang puno ng mga panadero.

21 At ibinalik niya ang puno ng mga katiwala ng kopa sa kanyang pagiging katiwala ng kopa, at ibinigay niya ang kopa sa kamay ng Faraon.

22 Subalit ang puno ng mga panadero ay ibinitin niya, gaya ng ipinakahulugan sa kanila ni Jose.

23 Gayunma'y hindi na naalala si Jose ng puno ng mga katiwala ng kopa, kundi nakalimutan siya.

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. Pharaoh was angry(C) with his two officials,(D) the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,(E) in the same prison where Joseph was confined. 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, 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)

When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected. 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)

“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.”

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)
