Genesis 40
1 And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.
Después de esto sucedió que el copero del rey de Egipto y el panadero faltaron contra su señor, el rey de Egipto.
2 And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.
Y se encolerizó el Faraón contra sus dos ministros, el jefe de los coperos y el jefe de los panaderos;
3 And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.
y los metió presos en la casa del capitán de la guardia, en la cárcel donde José estaba preso.
4 And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.
El capitán de la guardia los puso bajo la custodia de José, y este les atendía. Estando ya algún tiempo en prisión,
5 And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.
el copero y el panadero del rey de Egipto, que se hallaban presos en la cárcel, soñaron sueños, ambos en la misma noche, cada uno el suyo, cada uno según lo que había de significar su sueño.
6 Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.
Cuando por la mañana José vino a ellos, vio que estaban tistes;
7 And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?
por lo cual preguntó a los ministros del Faraón que estaban con él en la cárcel, en la casa de su señor, diciendo: “¿Por qué están hoy vuestros semblantes tan tristes?”
8 And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.
Le respondieron: “Hemos soñado sueños, y no hay quien los interprete.” Les replicó José: “¿No es Dios el que da interpretación? Contadme (el sueño), os ruego.
9 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.
Entonces el jefe de los coperos le contó su sueño, diciendo: “En mi sueño vi una vid delante de mí.
10 And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.
En la vid había tres sarmientos; estaba brotando, salía su flor, y sus racimos maduraban uvas.
11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
Yo tenía en mi mano la copa del Faraón, y tomando las uvas las exprimí en la copa del Faraón, y entregué la copa en mano del Faraón.”
12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.
José le dijo: “Esta es su interpretación: Los tres racimos son tres días.
13 Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.
Al cabo de tres días el Faraón exaltará tu cabeza, y te restituirá en tu cargo, y darás la copa del Faraón en su mano, como tenías costumbre anteriormente, cuando eras su copero.
14 But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.
Solo te pido que te acuerdes de mí cuando te vaya bien; y que uses de misericordia conmigo, recordándome ante el Faraón, y que me saques de esta casa.
15 For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.
Pues he sido robado del país de los hebreos; y aun aquí no he hecho nada para que me metieran en el calabozo.”
16 And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.
Viendo el jefe de los panaderos que era buena la interpretación, dijo a José: “Yo, por mi parte, vi en mi sueño tres canastos de pasta fina sobre mi cabeza.
17 And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.
En el canasto de encima había toda clase de pastelería para el Faraón, y las aves comían del canasto que llevaba sobre mi cabeza.”
18 And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.
Respondió José diciendo: “Esta es su interpretación: Los tres canastos son tres días.
19 Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.
Al cabo de tres días el Faraón te quitará la cabeza, te colgará en un madero y las aves comerán tu carne.”
20 And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.
Y, efectivamente, al día tercero, día del cumpleaños del Faraón, hizo este un banquete para todos sus siervos; y alzó en medio de sus siervos la cabeza del jefe de los coperos y la del jefe de los panaderos.
21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.
Restituyó al jefe de los coperos a su oficio de copero, el cual volvió a poner la copa en mano del Faraón.
22 And he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph, interpreted to them.
Mas al jefe de los panaderos le colgó, como les había interpretado José.
23 Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Y no se acordó el jefe de los coperos de José, sino que se olvidó del mismo.
