1After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
1這事以後， 埃及 王的酒政和膳長得罪了他們的主－ 埃及 王，
2And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker)
2法老就惱怒酒政和膳長這二臣，
3He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner,
3把他們下在護衛長府內的監裏，就是 約瑟 被囚的地方。
4But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
4護衛長把他們交給 約瑟 ， 約瑟 便伺候他們；他們有些日子在監裏。
5And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
5被囚在監之 埃及 王的酒政和膳長二人同夜各做一夢，各夢都有講解。
6And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad,
6到了早晨， 約瑟 進到他們那裏，見他們有愁悶的樣子。
7He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
7他便問法老的二臣，就是與他同囚在他主人府裏的，說：「你們今日為甚麼面帶愁容呢？」
8They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed.
8他們對他說：「我們各人做了一夢，沒有人能解。」 約瑟 說：「解夢不是出於上帝嗎？請你們將夢告訴我。」
9The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,
9酒政便將他的夢告訴 約瑟 說：「我夢見在我面前有一棵葡萄樹，
10On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:
10樹上有三根枝子，好像發了芽，開了花，上頭的葡萄都成熟了。
11And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
11法老的杯在我手中，我就拿葡萄擠在法老的杯裏，將杯遞在他手中。」
12Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days:
12約瑟 對他說：「你所做的夢是這樣解：三根枝子就是三天；
13After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou wast wont to do.
13三天之內，法老必提你出監，叫你官復原職，你仍要遞杯在法老的手中，和先前作他的酒政一樣。
14Only remember me, when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
14但你得好處的時候，求你記念我，施恩與我，在法老面前提說我，救我出這監牢。
15For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
15我實在是從 希伯來 人之地被拐來的；我在這裏也沒有做過甚麼，叫他們把我下在監裏。」
16The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
16膳長見夢解得好，就對 約瑟 說：「我在夢中見我頭上頂着三筐白餅；
17And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
17極上的筐子裏有為法老烤的各樣食物，有飛鳥來吃我頭上筐子裏的食物。」
18Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days:
18約瑟 說：「你的夢是這樣解：三個筐子就是三天；
19After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
19三天之內，法老必斬斷你的頭，把你掛在木頭上，必有飛鳥來吃你身上的肉。」
20The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
20到了第三天，是法老的生日，他為眾臣僕設擺筵席，把酒政和膳長提出監來，
21And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup:
21使酒政官復原職，他仍舊遞杯在法老手中；
22The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
22但把膳長掛起來，正如 約瑟 向他們所解的話。
23But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
23酒政卻不記念 約瑟 ，竟忘了他。
