Genesis 41:9-16
New American Standard Bible
9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would make mention today of (A)my own [a]offenses. 10 Pharaoh was (B)furious with his servants, and (C)he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. 11 Then (D)we had a dream one night, [b]he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. 12 Now a Hebrew youth was there with us, a (E)servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we told him the dreams, and (F)he interpreted our dreams for us. For each man he interpreted according to his own dream. 13 And just (G)as he interpreted for us, so it happened; Pharaoh restored me in my office, but he hanged [c]the chief baker.”
Joseph Interprets
14 Then Pharaoh sent word and (H)called for Joseph, and they (I)hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh. 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, (J)but no one can interpret it; and (K)I have heard [d]it said about you, that [e]when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, “[f](L)It has nothing to do with me; (M)God will [g]give Pharaoh an answer for his own good.”

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.(A) 10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants,(B) and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.(C) 11 Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.(D) 12 Now a young Hebrew(E) was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard.(F) We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream.(G) 13 And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.(H)”
14 So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon.(I) When he had shaved(J) and changed his clothes,(K) he came before Pharaoh.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it.(L) But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”(M)
16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”(N)

King James Version
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today. 10 When Pharaoh was (A)angry with his servants (B)and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, 11 (C)we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. 12 A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, (D)he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. 13 And (E)as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”
14 (F)Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they (G)quickly brought him (H)out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. (I)I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” 16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, (J)“It is not in me; (K)God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”[a]
