1Und es begab sich danach, dass sich der Mundschenk des Königs von Ägypten und der Bäcker versündigten an ihrem Herrn, dem König von Ägypten.2Und der Pharao wurde zornig über seine beiden Kämmerer, den Obersten der Mundschenken und den Obersten der Bäcker,3und gab sie in Gewahrsam ins Haus des Obersten der Leibwache, in das Gefängnis, wo Josef gefangen lag.4Und der Oberste der Leibwache befahl Josef zu ihnen, dass er ihnen diente. Und sie saßen einige Zeit im Gefängnis.5Und es träumte ihnen beiden, dem Mundschenk und dem Bäcker des Königs von Ägypten, in einer Nacht einem jeden ein eigener Traum, und eines jeden Traum hatte seine Bedeutung.6Als nun am Morgen Josef zu ihnen hineinkam und sah, dass sie bedrückt waren,7fragte er sie und sprach: Warum seid ihr heute so traurig?8Sie antworteten: Es hat uns geträumt, und wir haben niemand, der es uns auslege. Josef sprach: Auslegen steht bei Gott – doch erzählt mir’s! (1Mo 41,15; Dan 2,27)9Da erzählte der Oberste der Mundschenken Josef seinen Traum und sprach zu ihm: Mir hat geträumt, dass ein Weinstock vor mir wäre,10der hatte drei Reben, und er grünte, wuchs und blühte, und seine Trauben wurden reif.11Und ich hatte den Becher des Pharao in meiner Hand und nahm die Beeren und zerdrückte sie in den Becher und gab den Becher dem Pharao in die Hand.12Josef sprach zu ihm: Das ist seine Deutung: Drei Reben sind drei Tage.13Nach drei Tagen wird der Pharao dein Haupt erheben und dich wieder in dein Amt setzen, dass du ihm den Becher in die Hand gibst wie vormals, als du sein Mundschenk warst.14Aber gedenke meiner, wenn dir’s wohlgeht, und tu Barmherzigkeit an mir, dass du dem Pharao von mir sagst und mich so aus diesem Hause bringst.15Denn ich bin aus dem Lande der Hebräer heimlich gestohlen worden; und auch hier hab ich nichts getan, weswegen sie mich hätten ins Gefängnis setzen dürfen. (1Mo 37,28)16Als der Oberste der Bäcker sah, dass die Deutung gut war, sprach er zu Josef: Mir hat auch geträumt, ich trüge drei Körbe mit feinem Backwerk auf meinem Haupt17und im obersten Korbe allerlei Gebackenes für den Pharao, und die Vögel fraßen aus dem Korbe auf meinem Haupt.18Josef antwortete und sprach: Das ist seine Deutung: Drei Körbe sind drei Tage.19Und nach drei Tagen wird der Pharao dein Haupt erheben und dich an den Galgen hängen, und die Vögel werden dein Fleisch von dir fressen. (5Mo 21,22)20Und es geschah am dritten Tage, da beging der Pharao seinen Geburtstag. Und er machte ein Festmahl für alle seine Knechte und erhob das Haupt des Obersten der Mundschenken und das Haupt des Obersten der Bäcker unter seinen Knechten21und setzte den Obersten der Mundschenken wieder in sein Amt, dass er den Becher reiche in des Pharao Hand,22aber den Obersten der Bäcker ließ er aufhängen, wie ihnen Josef gedeutet hatte.23Aber der Oberste der Mundschenken dachte nicht an Josef, sondern vergaß ihn.
1Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt. (Neh 1,11)2And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,3and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. (1Mo 39,20)4The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.5And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.6When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled.7So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?” (Neh 2,2)8They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” (1Mo 41,15; 1Mo 41,16; Dan 2,28; Dan 2,47)9So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me,10and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”12Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. (1Mo 40,18; 1Mo 41,12; 1Mo 41,26; Dan 2,36)13In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh’s cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. (1Mo 40,19; 1Mo 40,22; 2Kön 25,27; Ps 3,3; Jer 52,31)14Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.15For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.” (1Mo 37,28; 1Mo 39,20)16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head,17and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.”18And Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. (1Mo 40,12)19In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.” (1Mo 40,13; 1Mo 40,22)20On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. (1Mo 40,13; 1Mo 40,19; Mt 14,6; Mk 6,21)21He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. (1Mo 40,13; Neh 2,1)22But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. (1Mo 40,19)23Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

King James Version
1And 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.2And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.3And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.4And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.5And 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.6And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.7And he asked Pharaoh' officers that were with him in the ward of his lord' house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?8And 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.9And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;10And 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:11And Pharaoh' cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh' cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh' hand.12And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:13Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh' cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.14But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:15For 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.16When 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:17And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.18And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:19Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.20And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh' 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.21And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh' hand:22But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.23Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
1Some time later, the Egyptian king’s baker and wine taster did something their master didn’t like.2So Pharaoh became angry with his two officials, the chief wine taster and the chief baker.3He put them in prison in the house of the captain of the palace guard. It was the same prison where Joseph was kept.4The captain put Joseph in charge of those men. So Joseph took care of them. Some time passed while they were in prison.5Then each of the two men had a dream. The men were the Egyptian king’s baker and wine taster. They were being held in prison. Both of them had dreams the same night. Each of their dreams had its own meaning.6Joseph came to them the next morning. He saw that they were sad.7They were Pharaoh’s officials, and they were in prison with Joseph in his master’s house. So he asked them, ‘Why do you look so sad today?’8‘We both had dreams,’ they answered. ‘But no one can tell us what they mean.’ Then Joseph said to them, ‘Only God knows what dreams mean. Tell me your dreams.’9So the chief wine taster told Joseph his dream. He said to him, ‘In my dream I saw a vine in front of me.10There were three branches on the vine. As soon as it budded, it flowered. And bunches of ripe grapes grew on it.11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. I took the grapes. I squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup. Then I put the cup in his hand.’12‘Here’s what your dream means,’ Joseph said to him. ‘The three branches are three days.13In three days Pharaoh will let you out of prison. He’ll give your job back to you. And you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand. That’s what you used to do when you were his wine taster.14But when everything is going well with you, remember me. Do me a favour. Speak to Pharaoh about me. Get me out of this prison.15I was taken away from the land of the Hebrews by force. Even here I haven’t done anything to be put in prison for.’16The chief baker saw that Joseph had given a positive meaning to the wine taster’s dream. So he said to Joseph, ‘I had a dream too. There were three baskets of bread on my head.17All kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh were in the top basket. But the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.’18‘Here’s what your dream means,’ Joseph said. ‘The three baskets are three days.19In three days Pharaoh will cut your head off. Then he will stick a pole through your body and set the pole up. The birds will eat your flesh.’20The third day was Pharaoh’s birthday. He had a feast prepared for all his officials. He brought the chief wine taster and the chief baker out of prison. He did it in front of his officials.21He gave the chief wine taster’s job back to him. Once again the wine taster put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.22But Pharaoh had a pole stuck through the chief baker’s body. Then he had the pole set up. Everything happened just as Joseph had told them when he explained their dreams.23But the chief wine taster didn’t remember Joseph. In fact, he forgot all about him.
1Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt.2Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,3and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.4The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time,5each 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.6When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected.7So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were in custody with him in his master’s house, ‘Why do you look so sad today?’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.’9So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, ‘In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,10and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes.11Pharaoh’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 it means,’ Joseph said to him. ‘The three branches are three days.13Within 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.14But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.15I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.’16When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favourable interpretation, he said to Joseph, ‘I too had a dream: on my head were three baskets of bread.[1]17In 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 it means,’ Joseph said. ‘The three baskets are three days.19Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh.’20Now 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:21he restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand –22but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.23The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
