| 1 | After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord. | His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Aegypti, et pistor, domino suo. |
| 2 | And Pharao being angry with them (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker) | Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis praeerat, alter pistoribus), |
| 3 | He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner, | misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph. |
| 4 | But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. | At custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur. |
| 5 | And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves: | Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una, iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi: |
| 6 | And when Joseph was come in to them in the morning, and saw them sad, | ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes, |
| 7 | He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual? | sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra? |
| 8 | They 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. | Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis. |
| 9 | The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine, | Narravit prior, praepositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem, |
| 10 | On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes: | in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere: |
| 11 | And 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. | calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni. |
| 12 | Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches are yet three days: | Respondit Ioseph: Haec est interpretatio somnii: tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt: |
| 13 | After 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. | post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras. |
| 14 | Only 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: | Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere: |
| 15 | For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon. | quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebraeorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum. |
| 16 | The 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: | Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium: quod tria canistra farinae haberem super caput meum: |
| 17 | And 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. | et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo. |
| 18 | Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets are yet three days: | Respondit Ioseph: Haec est interpretatio somnii: tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt: |
| 19 | After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh. | post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas. |
| 20 | The 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. | Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis. |
| 21 | And he restored the one to his place to present him the cup: | Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum: |
| 22 | The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn. | alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut coniectoris veritas probaretur. |
| 23 | But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter. | Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, praepositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui. |
