Genesis 40
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
1ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ μετὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα ἥμαρτεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιὸς τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου.
2And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
2καὶ ὠργίσθη Φαραὼ ἐπὶ τοῖς δυσὶν εὐνούχοις αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχιοινοχόῳ καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχισιτοποιῷ,
3And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
3καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπῆκτο ἐκεῖ.
4And the captain of the guard charged Joseph to be with them, and he ministered unto them; and they continued a season in ward.
4καὶ συνέστησεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμώτης τῷ Ἰωσὴφ αὐτούς, καὶ παρέστη αὐτοῖς· ἦσαν δὲ ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
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, who were bound in the prison.
5καὶ εἶδον ἀμφότεροι ἐνύπνιον ἐν μιᾷ νυκτί· ἡ δὲ ὅρασις τοῦ ἐνυπνίου τοῦ ἀρχιοινοχόου καὶ ἀρχισιτοποιοῦ, οἳ ἦσαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου, οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ, ἦν αὕτη.
6And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
6εἰσῆλθε δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰωσὴφ τῷ πρωΐ καὶ εἶδεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἦσαν τεταραγμένοι.
7And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his master's house, saying: 'Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?'
7καὶ ἠρώτα τοὺς εὐνούχους Φαραώ, οἳ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ, λέγων· τί ὅτι τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ σήμερον;
8And they said unto him: 'We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it.' And Joseph said unto them: 'Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you.'
8οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν, καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτό. εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ· οὐχὶ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ διασάφησις αὐτῶν ἐστι; διηγήσασθε οὖν μοι.
9And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him: 'In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
9καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ εἶπεν· ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ἦν ἄμπελος ἐναντίον μου·
10and in the vine were three branches; and as it was budding, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes,
10ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀμπέλῳ τρεῖς πυθμένες, καὶ αὐτὴ θάλλουσα ἀνενηνοχυῖα βλαστούς· πέπειροι οἱ βότρυες σταφυλῆς.
11and 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.'
11καὶ τὸ ποτήριον Φαραὼ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου· καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν σταφυλὴν καὶ ἐξέθλιψα αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ποτήριον καὶ ἔδωκα τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα Φαραώ.
12And Joseph said unto him: 'This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
12καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰωσήφ· τοῦτο ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· οἱ τρεῖς πυθμένες τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν·
13within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office; and thou shalt give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
13ἔτι τρεῖς ἡμέραι καὶ μνησθήσεται Φαραὼ τῆς ἀρχῆς σου καὶ ἀποκαταστήσει σε ἐπί τὴν ἀρχιοινοχοΐαν σου, καὶ δώσεις τὸ ποτήριον Φαραὼ εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχήν σου τὴν προτέραν, ὡς ἦσθα οἰνοχοῶν.
14But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
14ἀλλὰ μνήσθητί μου διὰ σεαυτοῦ, ὅταν εὖ γένηταί σοι, καὶ ποιήσεις ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔλεος καὶ μνησθήσει περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Φαραὼ καὶ ἐξάξεις με ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος τούτου·
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.'
15ὅτι κλοπῇ ἐκλάπην ἐκ γῆς Ἑβραίων καὶ ὧδε οὐκ ἐποίησα οὐδέν, ἀλλ᾿ ἐνέβαλόν με εἰς τὸν λάκκον τοῦτον.
16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: 'I also saw in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head;
16καὶ εἶδεν ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιός, ὅτι ὀρθῶς συνέκρινε, καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰωσήφ· κἀγὼ εἶδον ἐνύπνιον καὶ ᾤμην τρία κανᾶ χονδριτῶν αἴρειν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς μου·
17and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.'
17ἐν δὲ κανῷ τῷ ἐπάνω ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν γενῶν, ὧν Φαραὼ ἐσθίει ἔργον σιτοποιοῦ, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατήσθιεν αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ κανοῦ τοῦ ἐπάνω τῆς κεφαλῆς μου.
18And Joseph answered and said: 'This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;
18ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰωσὴφ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· αὕτη ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· τὰ τρία κανᾶ τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν·
19within yet 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.'
19ἔτι τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἀφελεῖ Φαραὼ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ κρεμάσει σε ἐπὶ ξύλου, καὶ φάγεται τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὰς σάρκας σου ἀπὸ σοῦ.
20And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
20ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἡμέρα γενέσεως ἦν Φαραώ, καὶ ἐποίει πότον πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐμνήσθη τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ οἰνοχόου καὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ σιτοποιοῦ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ,
21And he restored the chief butler back unto his butlership; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
21καὶ ἀποκατέστησε τὸν ἀρχιοινοχόον ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα Φαραώ,
22But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
22τὸν δὲ ἀρχισιτοποιὸν ἐκρέμασε, καθὰ συνέκρινεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ.
23Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.
23καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθη ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ Ἰωσήφ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπελάθετο αὐτοῦ.
