NLT

NIV

1 Some time later, Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer and chief baker offended their royal master.
1 Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Pharaoh became angry with these two officials,
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 and he put them in the prison where Joseph was, in the palace of the captain of the guard.
3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 They remained in prison for quite some time, and the captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, who looked after them.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 While they were in prison, Pharaoh’s cup-bearer and baker each had a dream one night, and each dream had its own meaning.
5 each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
6 When Joseph saw them the next morning, he noticed that they both looked upset.
6 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.
7 “Why do you look so worried today?” he asked them.
7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.”
8 “We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
9 So the chief cup-bearer told Joseph his dream first. “In my dream,” he said, “I saw a grapevine in front of me.
9 So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,
10 The vine had three branches that began to bud and blossom, and soon it produced clusters of ripe grapes.
10 and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
11 I was holding Pharaoh’s wine cup in my hand, so I took a cluster of grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
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 the dream means,” Joseph said. “The three branches represent three days.
12 “This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift you up and restore you to your position as his chief cup-bearer.
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head 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.
14 And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place.
14 But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
15 For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.”
15 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”
16 When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given the first dream such a positive interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I had a dream, too. In my dream there were three baskets of white pastries stacked on my head.
16 When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets of bread.
17 The top basket contained all kinds of pastries for Pharaoh, but the birds came and ate them from the basket on my head.”
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 the dream means,” Joseph told him. “The three baskets also represent three days.
18 “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.
19 Three days from now Pharaoh will lift you up and impale your body on a pole. Then birds will come and peck away at your flesh.”
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh.”
20 Pharaoh’s birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials.
20 Now the third day was Pharaoh’s birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:
21 He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand—
22 But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream.
22 but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.
23 Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
