Genesis 40
1 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.
His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Ægypti, et pistor, domino suo.
2 And Pharaoh was angry against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis præerat, alter pistoribus)
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
At custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
5 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.
Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes,
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look all of you so sadly to day?
sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
8 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.
Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Narravit prior, præpositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
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:
in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
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.
calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up your head, and restore you unto your place: and you shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when you were his butler.
post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with you, and show kindness, I pray you, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
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.
quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebræorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
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:
Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium, Quod tria canistra farinæ haberem super caput meum:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
Respondit Ioseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: Tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree; and the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.
post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
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.
Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut coniectoris veritas probaretur.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgotten about him.
Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, præpositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
