And it chaunced after this that the chefe butlar of the kynge of Egipte and his chefe baker had offended there lorde the kynge of Egypte.
2 Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis praeerat, alter pistoribus)
And Pharao was angrie with them and put the in warde in his chefe marshals house:
3 misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Ioseph.
euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd.
4 At custos carceris tradidit eos Ioseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
And the chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them and he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.
5 Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una iuxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
And they dreamed ether of them in one nyghte: both the butlar and the baker of the kynge of Egipte which were bownde in the preson house ether of them his dreame and eche manes dreame of a sondrie interpretation
6 ad quos cum introisset Ioseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes,
When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge and loked apon them: beholde they were sadd.
7 sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
And he asked them saynge wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye?
8 Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Ioseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
They answered him we haue dreamed a dreame and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto the. Interpretynge belongeth to God but tel me yet.
9 Narravit prior, praepositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph and sayde vnto him. In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before me
10 in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
and in the vyne were. iij. braunches and it was as though it budded and her blossos shottforth: and ye grapes there of waxed rype.
11 calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe and delyvered Pharaos cuppe into his hande.
12 Respondit Ioseph: Haec est interpretatio somnii: Tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
And Ioseph sayde vnto him this is the interpretation of it.
13 post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem iuxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
The. iij. braunches ar thre dayes: for within thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine heade and restore the vnto thyne office agayne and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to his hade after the old maner even as thou dydest when thou wast his butlar.
14 Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
But thinke on me with the when thou art in good case and shewe mercie vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao and helpe to brynge me out of this house:
15 quia furtim sublatus sum de terra Hebraeorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues and here also haue I done nothige at all wherfore they shulde haue put me in to this dongeon.
16 Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium, Quod tria canistra farinae haberem super caput meum:
When the chefe baker sawe that he had well interpretate it he sayde vnto Ioseph me thought also in my dreame yt I had. iij. wyker baskettes on my heade?
17 et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
And in ye vppermost basket of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
18 Respondit Ioseph: Haec est interpretatio somnii: Tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
Ioseph answered and sayde: this is the interpretation therof. The. iij. baskettes are. iij. dayes
19 post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
for this daye. iij. dayes shall Pharao take thy heade from the and shall hange the on a tree and the byrdes shall eate thy flesh from of the.
20 Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
And it came to passe the thyrde daye which was Pharaos byrth daye that he made a feast vnto all his servauntes. And he lyfted vpp the head of the chefe buttelar and of the chefe baker amonge his servauntes.
21 Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
And restored the chefe buttelar vnto his buttelarshipe agayne and he reched the cuppe in to Pharaos hande
22 alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut coniectoris veritas probaretur.
ad hanged the chefe baker: eue as Ioseph had interpretated vnto the.
23 Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, praepositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
Notwithstonding the chefe buttelar remembred not Ioseph but forgat hym.
