< Gênesis 40 >

1 E aconteceu depois destas coisas, que o copeiro do rei do Egito e o padeiro transgrediram contra seu senhor o rei do Egito.
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2 E irou-se Faraó contra seus dois eunucos, contra o principal dos copeiros, e contra o principal dos padeiros:
And Pharaoh was angry against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 E os pôs em prisão na casa do capitão dos da guarda, na casa do cárcere onde José estava preso.
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 E o capitão dos da guarda deu responsabilidade deles a José, e ele lhes servia: e estiveram dias na prisão.
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
5 E ambos, o copeiro e o padeiro do rei do Egito, que estavam detidos na prisão, viram um sonho, cada um seu sonho em uma mesma noite, cada um conforme a declaração de seu sonho.
And 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, which were bound in the prison.
6 E veio a eles José pela manhã, e olhou-os, e eis que estavam tristes.
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 E ele perguntou àqueles oficiais de Faraó, que estavam com ele na prisão da casa de seu senhor, dizendo: Por que parecem hoje mal vossos semblantes?
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look all of you so sadly to day?
8 E eles lhe disseram: Tivemos um sonho, e não há quem o declare. Então lhes disse José: Não são de Deus as interpretações? Contai-o a mim agora.
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
9 Então o chefe dos copeiros contou seu sonho a José, e disse-lhe: Eu sonhava que via uma vide diante de mim,
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10 E na vide três sarmentos; e ela como que brotava, e surgia sua flor, vindo a amadurecer seus cachos de uvas:
And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
11 E que o copo de Faraó estava em minha mão, e tomava eu as uvas, e as espremia no copo de Faraó, e dava eu o copo em mão de Faraó.
And 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.
12 E disse-lhe José: Esta é sua declaração: Os três sarmentos são três dias:
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
13 Ao fim de três dias Faraó te fará levantar a cabeça, e te restituirá a teu posto: e darás o copo a Faraó em sua mão, como costumavas quando eras seu copeiro.
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up your head, and restore you unto your place: and you shall deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when you were his butler.
14 Lembra-te, pois, de mim para contigo quando tiveres esse bem, e rogo-te que uses comigo de misericórdia, e faças menção de mim a Faraó, e me tires desta prisão:
But think on me when it shall be well with you, and show kindness, I pray you, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15 Porque furtado fui da terra dos hebreus; e tampouco fiz aqui para que me houvessem de pôr no cárcere.
For 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.
16 E vendo o chefe dos padeiros que havia interpretado para o bem, disse a José: Também eu sonhava que via três cestos brancos sobre minha cabeça;
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 E no cesto mais alto havia de todos os alimentos de Faraó, obra de padeiro; e que as aves as comiam do cesto de sobre minha cabeça.
And 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.
18 Então respondeu José, e disse: Esta é sua declaração: Os três cestos três dias são;
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Ao fim de três dias tirará Faraó tua cabeça de sobre ti, e te fará enforcar na forca, e as aves comerão tua carne de sobre ti.
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree; and the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.
20 E foi o terceiro dia o dia do aniversário de Faraó, e fez banquete a todos os seus servos: e levantou a cabeça do chefe dos copeiros, e a cabeça do chefe dos padeiros, entre seus servos.
And 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 of the chief baker among his servants.
21 E fez voltar a seu ofício ao chefe dos copeiros; e deu ele o copo em mão de Faraó.
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22 Mas fez enforcar ao principal dos padeiros, como lhe havia declarado José.
But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 E o chefe dos copeiros não se lembrou de José, ao invés disso lhe esqueceu.
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgotten about him.
