Genesis 40

The Message Bible MSG

1 As time went on, it happened that the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt crossed their master, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the head cupbearer and the head baker,

3 and put them in custody under the captain of the guard; it was the same jail where Joseph was held.

4 The captain of the guard assigned Joseph to see to their needs.

5 the king's cupbearer and baker, while being held in the jail, both had a dream on the same night, each dream having its own meaning.

6 When Joseph arrived in the morning, he noticed that they were feeling low.

7 So he asked them, the two officials of Pharaoh who had been thrown into jail with him, "What's wrong? Why the long faces?"

8 They said, "We dreamed dreams and there's no one to interpret them." Joseph said, "Don't interpretations come from God? Tell me the dreams."

9 First the head cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: "In my dream there was a vine in front of me

10 with three branches on it: It budded, blossomed, and the clusters ripened into grapes.

11 I was holding Pharaoh's cup; I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and gave the cup to Pharaoh."

12 Joseph said, "Here's the meaning. The three branches are three days.

13 Within three days, Pharaoh will get you out of here and put you back to your old work - you'll be giving Pharaoh his cup just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.

14 Only remember me when things are going well with you again - tell Pharaoh about me and get me out of this place.

15 I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews. And since I've been here, I've done nothing to deserve being put in this hole."

16 When the head baker saw how well Joseph's interpretation turned out, he spoke up: "My dream went like this: I saw three wicker baskets on my head;

17 the top basket had assorted pastries from the bakery and birds were picking at them from the basket on my head."

18 Joseph said, "This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days;

19 within three days Pharaoh will take off your head, impale you on a post, and the birds will pick your bones clean."

20 And sure enough, on the third day it was Pharaoh's birthday and he threw a feast for all his servants. He set the head cupbearer and the head baker in places of honor in the presence of all the guests.

21 Then he restored the head cupbearer to his cupbearing post; he handed Pharaoh his cup just as before.

22 And then he impaled the head baker on a post, following Joseph's interpretations exactly.

23 But the head cupbearer never gave Joseph another thought; he forgot all about him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 his ita gestis accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi pincerna regis Aegypti et pistor domino suo

2 iratusque Pharao contra eos nam alter pincernis praeerat alter pistoribus

3 misit eos in carcerem principis militum in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph

4 at custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph qui et ministrabat eis aliquantum temporis fluxerat et illi in custodia tenebantur

5 videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi

6 ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane et vidisset eos tristes

7 sciscitatus est dicens cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra

8 qui responderunt somnium vidimus et non est qui interpretetur nobis dixitque ad eos Ioseph numquid non Dei est interpretatio referte mihi quid videritis

9 narravit prior praepositus pincernarum somnium videbam coram me vitem

10 in qua erant tres propagines crescere paulatim gemmas et post flores uvas maturescere

11 calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea tuli ergo uvas et expressi in calicem quem tenebam et tradidi poculum Pharaoni

12 respondit Ioseph haec est interpretatio somnii tres propagines tres adhuc dies sunt

13 post quos recordabitur Pharao magisterii tui et restituet te in gradum pristinum dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum sicut facere ante consueveras

14 tantum memento mei cum tibi bene fuerit et facies mecum misericordiam ut suggeras Pharaoni et educat me de isto carcere

15 quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebraeorum et hic innocens in lacum missus sum

16 videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset ait et ego vidi somnium quod haberem tria canistra farinae super caput meum

17 et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria avesque comedere ex eo

18 respondit Ioseph haec est interpretatio somnii tria canistra tres adhuc dies sunt

19 post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum ac suspendet te in cruce et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas

20 exin dies tertius natalicius Pharaonis erat qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum et pistorum principis

21 restituitque alterum in locum suum ut porrigeret regi poculum

22 alterum suspendit in patibulo ut coniectoris veritas probaretur

23 et tamen succedentibus prosperis praepositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui
