Genesis 40

1 And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the chief baker trespassed against their lord the king of Egypt.

Après ces choses, il arriva que l'Echanson du Roi d'Egypte, et le Panetier offensèrent le Roi d'Egypte, leur Seigneur.

2 And Pharao was angry with his two eunuchs, with his chief cupbearer, and with his chief baker.

Et Pharaon fut fort irrité contre ces deux Eunuques, contre le grand Echanson, et contre le grand Panetier.

3 And he put them in ward, into the prison, into the place whereinto Joseph had been led.

Et les mit en garde dans la maison du Prévôt de l'hôtel, dans la prison étroite, au [même] lieu où Joseph était renfermé.

4 And the chief keeper of the prison committed them to Joseph, and he stood by them; and they were [some] days in the prison.

Et le Prévôt de l'hôtel les mit entre les mains de Joseph, qui les servait; et ils furent [quelques] jours en prison.

5 And they both had a dream in one night; and the vision of the dream of the chief cupbearer and chief baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who were in the prison, was this.

Et tous deux songèrent un songe, chacun son songe en une même nuit, [et] chacun selon l'explication de son songe; tant l'Echanson que le Panetier du Roi d'Egypte, qui [étaient] renfermés dans la prison.

6 Joseph went in to them in the morning, and saw them, and they had been troubled.

Et Joseph vint à eux le matin, et les regarda; et voici ils étaient fort tristes.

7 And he asked the eunuchs of Pharao who were with him in the prison with his master, saying, Why is it that your countenances are sad today?

Et il demanda à [ces] Eunuques de Pharaon, qui [étaient] avec lui dans la prison de son maître, et leur dit: D'où vient que vous avez aujourd'hui si mauvais visage?

8 And they said to him, We have seen a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Is not the interpretation of them through god? tell [them] than to me.

Et ils lui répondirent: Nous avons songé des songes, et il n'y a personne qui les explique. Et Joseph leur dit: Les explications ne sont-elles pas de Dieu? Je vous prie, contez-moi [vos songes].

9 And the chief cupbearer related his dream to Joseph, and said, In my dream a vine was before me.

Et le grand Echanson conta son songe à Joseph, et lui dit: [Il me semblait] en songeant [que] je voyais un cep devant moi.

10 And in the vine [were] three stems; and it budding shot forth blossoms; the clusters of grapes were ripe.

Et il y avait en ce cep trois sarments; et il était près de fleurir; sa fleur sortit, et ses grappes firent mûrir les raisins.

11 And the cup of Pharao was in my hand; and I took the bunch of grapes, and squeezed it into the cup, and gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

Et la coupe de Pharaon était en ma main, et je prenais les raisins, et les pressais dans la coupe de Pharaon, et je lui donnais la coupe en sa main.

12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three stems are three days.

Et Joseph lui dit: Voici son explication: Les trois sarments sont trois jours.

13 Yet three days and Pharao shall remember your office, and he shall restore you to your place of chief cupbearer, and you shall give the cup of Pharao into his hand, according to your former high place, as you were wont to be cupbearer.

Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête, et te rétablira en ton [premier] état, et tu donneras la coupe à Pharaon en sa main, selon ton premier office, lorsque tu étais Echanson.

14 But remember me of yourself, when it shall be well with you, and you shall deal mercifully with me, and you shall make mention of me to Pharao, and you shall bring me forth out of this dungeon.

Mais souviens-toi de moi quand ce bonheur te sera arrivé, et fais-moi, je te prie, cette grâce, que tu fasses mention de moi à Pharaon, et qu'il me fasse sortir de cette maison.

15 For surely I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here I have done nothing, but they have cast me into this pit.

Car certainement j'ai été dérobé du pays des Hébreux; et même je n'ai rien fait ici pour quoi l'on dût me mettre en cette fosse.

16 And the chief baker saw that he interpreted aright; and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I thought I took up on my head three baskets of mealy food.

Alors le grand Panetier voyant que Joseph avait expliqué [ce songe] favorablement, lui dit: J'ai aussi songé, et il me semblait qu'[il y avait] trois corbeilles blanches sur ma tête.

17 And in the upper basket there was the work of the baker of every kind which Pharao eats; and the fowls of the air ate them out of the basket that was on my head.

Et dans la plus haute corbeille [il y avait] de toutes sortes de viandes du métier de boulanger, pour Pharaon; et les oiseaux les mangeaient dans la corbeille [qui était] sur ma tête.

18 And Joseph answered and said to him, This is the interpretation of it; The three baskets are three days.

Et Joseph répondit, et dit: Voici son explication: Les trois corbeilles sont trois jours.

19 Yet three days, and Pharao shall take away your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky shall eat your flesh from off you.

Dans trois jours Pharaon élèvera ta tête de dessus toi, et te fera pendre à un bois, et les oiseaux mangeront ta chair de dessus toi.

20 And it came to pass on the third day that it was Pharao's birth-day, and he made a banquet for all his servants, and he remembered the office of the cupbearer and the office of the baker in the midst of his servants.

Et il arriva au troisième jour, [qui était] le jour de la naissance de Pharaon, qu'il fit un festin à tous ses serviteurs, et il fit sortir de prison le grand Echanson, et le maître Panetier, ses serviteurs.

21 And he restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he gave the cup into Pharao's hand.

Et il rétablit le grand Echanson dans son office d'Echanson, lequel donna la coupe à Pharaon.

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

Mais il fit pendre le grand Panetier, selon que Joseph le leur avait expliqué.

23 Yet did not the chief cupbearer remember Joseph, but forgot him.

Cependant le grand Echanson ne se souvint point de Joseph; mais l'oublia.
