New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
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.
