¹ Και μετα τα πραγματα ταυτα, ο οινοχοος του βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου και ο αρτοποιος ημαρτησαν εις τον κυριον αυτων τον βασιλεα της Αιγυπτου.

² Και ωργισθη ο Φαραω κατα των δυο αυλικων αυτου, κατα του αρχιοινοχοου, και κατα του αρχισιτοποιου.

³ Και εβαλεν αυτους υπο φυλαξιν εν τω οικω του αρχοντος των σωματοφυλακων, εις την οχυραν φυλακην, εις τον τοπον οπου ο Ιωσηφ ητο πεφυλακισμενος.

⁴ Ο δε αρχων των σωματοφυλακων ενεπιστευθη αυτους εις τον Ιωσηφ και ουτος υπηρετει αυτους· ησαν δε καιρον τινα εν τη φυλακη·

⁵ και ο οινοχοος και ο αρτοποιος του βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου, οιτινες ησαν πεφυλακισμενοι εν τη οχυρα φυλακη, ενυπνιασθησαν ενυπνιον αμφοτεροι, εκαστος το ενυπνιον αυτου κατα την αυτην νυκτα, εκαστος κατα την εξηγησιν του ενυπνιου αυτου.

⁶ Ο δε Ιωσηφ εισελθων προς αυτους το πρωι, ειδεν αυτους· και ιδου, ησαν τεταραγμενοι.

⁷ Και ηρωτησε τους αυλικους του Φαραω, τους οντας μετ' αυτου εν τη φυλακη εν τω οικω του κυριου αυτου, λεγων, Δια τι τα προσωπα σας ειναι σκυθρωπα σημερον;

⁸ Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Ενυπνιασθημεν ενυπνιον και δεν ειναι ουδεις οστις να εξηγηση αυτο. Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, Δεν ανηκουσιν εις τον Θεον αι εξηγησεις; διηγηθητε μοι, παρακαλω.

⁹ Και διηγηθη ο αρχιοινοχοος το ενυπνιον αυτου προς τον Ιωσηφ και ειπε προς αυτον, Ειδον εις το ονειρον μου και ιδου, αμπελος εμπροσθεν μου·

¹⁰ και εις την αμπελον ησαν τρεις κλαδοι και εφαινετο ως βλαστανουσα και τα ανθη αυτης εξηνθησαν και οι βοτρυες της σταφυλης ωριμασαν·

¹¹ το δε ποτηριον του Φαραω ητο εν τη χειρι μου· και ελαβον τα σταφυλια και εθλιψα αυτα εις το ποτηριον του Φαραω και εδωκα το ποτηριον εις την χειρα του Φαραω.

¹² Και ειπεν ο Ιωσηφ προς αυτον, Αυτη ειναι η εξηγησις αυτου· οι τρεις κλαδοι ειναι τρεις ημεραι·

¹³ μετα τρεις ημερας, ο Φαραω θελει υψωσει την κεφαλην σου και θελει σε αποκαταστησει εις το υπουργημα σου· και θελεις δωσει το ποτηριον του Φαραω εις την χειρα αυτου κατα την προτεραν συνηθειαν, οτε ησο οινοχοος αυτου·

¹⁴ πλην ενθυμηθητι με, οταν γεινη εις σε το καλον· και καμε, παρακαλω, ελεος προς εμε και αναφερε περι εμου προς τον Φαραω και εξαγαγε με εκ του οικου τουτου·

¹⁵ επειδη τη αληθεια εκλεφθην εκ της γης των Εβραιων· και εδω παλιν δεν επραξα ουδεν, ωστε να με βαλωσιν εις τον λακκον τουτον.

¹⁶ Και ιδων ο αρχισιτοποιος οτι η εξηγησις ητο καλη, ειπε προς τον Ιωσηφ, Και εγω ειδον εις το ονειρον μου και ιδου, τρια κανιστρα λευκα επι της κεφαλης μου·

¹⁷ εν δε τω κανιστρω τω ανωτερω ησαν εκ παντων των φαγητων του Φαραω, της τεχνης του αρτοποιου· και τα πτηνα ετρωγον αυτα εκ του κανιστρου επανωθεν της κεφαλης μου.

¹⁸ Και αποκριθεις ο Ιωσηφ ειπεν, Αυτη ειναι η εξηγησις τουτου· τα τρια κανιστρα ειναι τρεις ημεραι·

¹⁹ μετα τρεις ημερας ο Φαραω θελει υψωσει την κεφαλην σου επανωθεν σου και θελει σε κρεμασει εις ξυλον και τα πτηνα θελουσι φαγει την σαρκα σου επανωθεν σου.

²⁰ Και την τριτην ημεραν, ημεραν των γενεθλιων του Φαραω, εκαμε συμποσιον εις παντας τους δουλους αυτου· και υψωσε την κεφαλην του αρχιοινοχοου και την κεφαλην του αρχισιτοποιου μεταξυ των δουλων αυτου.

²¹ Και τον μεν αρχιοινοχοον αποκατεστησεν εις την οινοχοιαν αυτου, και εδωκε το ποτηριον εις την χειρα του Φαραω·

²² τον δε αρχισιτοποιον εκρεμασε, καθως εξηγησεν ο Ιωσηφ εις αυτους.

²³ Ο αρχιοινοχοος ομως δεν ενεθυμηθη τον Ιωσηφ, αλλα ελησμονησεν αυτον.

¹ It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

² Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

³ He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

⁴ The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

⁵ They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

⁶ Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

⁷ He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

⁸ They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

⁹ The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

¹⁰ and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

¹¹ Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

¹² Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

¹³ Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

¹⁴ But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

¹⁵ For 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."

¹⁶ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

¹⁷ In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

¹⁸ Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

¹⁹ Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

²⁰ It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

²¹ He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

²² but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

²³ Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.
