두 신하의 꿈을 해석하는 요셉

40 얼마 후에 이집트 왕의 술을 따르는 신하와 빵 굽는 신하가 자기 주 인인 이집트 왕에게 범죄하였다.

그래서 바로는 그 두 신하에게 분노하여

그들을 경호대장의 집 안에 있는 감옥에 가두었는데 그 곳은 요셉이 갇혀 있는 곳이었다.

그리고 경호대장은 그들을 요셉에게 맡겨 요셉이 그들을 보살피도록 하였다. 그들이 갇힌 지 상당한 시간이 지난 어느 날

이집트 왕의 술을 따르는 신하와 빵 굽는 신하가 같은 날 밤에 서로 다른 꿈을 꾸었다.

다음날 아침 요셉이 들어가 보니 그들이 수심에 잠겨 있었다.

그래서 요셉이 그들에게 물었다. “오늘은 어째서 그처럼 수심에 잠겨 있습니까?”

“우리가 꿈을 꾸었으나 해몽해 줄 사람이 없구나.” “해몽은 하나님이 하시지 않습니까? 당신들의 꿈을 나에게 말씀해 주십시오.”

그러자 왕의 술을 따르던 신하가 이렇게 말하였다. “내가 꿈에 보니 내 앞에 포도나무가 있는데

10 그 나무에 세 가지가 있고 그것이 싹이 나자마자 꽃이 피고 포도송이가 달려 곧 익었다.

11 그리고 나는 이때 왕의 술잔을 들고 있었다. 그래서 내가 그 포도를 따서 포도즙을 만들어 왕의 술잔에 붓고 그것을 왕에게 갖다 드렸다.”

12 그때 요셉은 그 꿈을 이렇게 해석하였다. “세 개의 그 포도나무 가지는 3일을 뜻합니다.

13 지금부터 3일 안에 왕이 당신을 석방하여 당신의 전직을 회복시켜 주실 것입니다. 당신은 전에 하던 것처럼 왕에게 다시 술을 따르게 될 것입니다.

14 당신의 모든 일이 잘 되거든 나를 기억하셔서, 나에게 은혜를 베풀어 내 사정을 왕에게 말씀드리고 나를 이 감옥에서 나가도록 해 주십시오.

15 나는 히브리 땅에서 강제로 끌려왔으며 여기서도 감옥에 갇힐 만한 일은 하지 않았습니다.”

16 빵 굽던 신하가 요셉이 그 꿈을 좋게 해석하는 것을 보고 그에게 말하였다. “나도 꿈을 꾸었는데 빵을 담은 광주리 세 개가 내 머리 위에 있고

17 제일 윗 광주리에는 왕을 위해 만든 여러 가지 구운 음식이 있었으나 새들이 그것을 먹고 있었다.”

18 그러자 요셉이 그 꿈을 이렇게 해석하였다. “그 세 광주리는 3일을 뜻합니다.

19 지금부터 3일 안에 왕이 당신을 감옥에서 끌어내어 당신을 나무에 매달 것입니다. 그리고 새들이 당신의 시체를 뜯어먹을 것입니다.”

20 그로부터 3일째가 되던 날은 바로의 생일이었다. 그래서 그는 모든 신하들을 위해 잔치를 베풀고 술을 따르던 신하와 빵 굽던 신하를 감옥에서 풀어내어 신하들 앞에 세웠다.

21 그러고서 왕은 술 따르던 신하의 전직을 회복시켜 다시 술을 따르게 하고

22 빵 굽던 신하는 나무에 매달아 처형시켰다. 이와 같이 모든 일이 요셉의 말대로 되었으나

23 술 따르는 신하는 요셉을 까마득하게 잊어버리고 기억하지 않았다.

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 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)

Joseph Interprets Two Prisoners' Dreams

40 Some time after this, the (A)cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, (B)and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.

And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, (C)“Why are your faces downcast today?” They said to him, (D)“We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, (E)“Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”

So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me, 10 and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. 11 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 Then Joseph said to him, (F)“This is its interpretation: (G)the three branches are three days. 13 In three days Pharaoh will (H)lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. 15 For (I)I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and (J)here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.”

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head, 17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.” 18 And Joseph answered and said, (K)“This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. 19 (L)In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and (M)hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”

20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh's (N)birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and (O)lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 (P)He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and (Q)he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand. 22 But he (R)hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
