1 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.

1 וַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה חָ֥טְא֛וּ³ מַשְׁקֵ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְהָאֹפֶ֑ה לַאֲדֹנֵיהֶ֖ם לְמֶ֥לֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

2 And Pharaoh was wroth with two of his officers, with the chief of the butlers, and with the chief of the bakers.

2 וַיִּקְצֹ֣ף פַּרְעֹ֔ה עַ֖ל שְׁנֵ֣י סָרִיסָ֑יו עַ֚ל שַׂ֣ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֔ים וְעַ֖ל שַׂ֥ר הָאֹופִֽים׃

3 And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

3 וַיִּתֵּ֨ן אֹתָ֜ם בְּמִשְׁמַ֗ר בֵּ֛ית שַׂ֥ר הַטַבָּחִ֖ים¹ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית הַסֹּ֑הַר מְקֹ֕ום אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֹוסֵ֖ף אָס֥וּר שָֽׁם׃

4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and they continued a season in custody.

4 וַ֠יִּפְקֹד שַׂ֣ר הַטַּבָּחִ֧ים אֶת־יֹוסֵ֛ף אִתָּ֖ם וַיְשָׁ֣רֶת אֹתָ֑ם וַיִּהְי֥וּ יָמִ֖ים בְּמִשְׁמָֽר׃

5 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, who were bound in the prison.

5 וַיַּֽחַלְמוּ֩ חֲלֹ֨ום שְׁנֵיהֶ֜ם אִ֤ישׁ חֲלֹמֹו֙ בְּלַ֣יְלָה אֶחָ֔ד אִ֖ישׁ כְּפִתְרֹ֣ון חֲלֹמֹ֑ו הַמַּשְׁקֶ֣ה וְהָאֹפֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁר֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲסוּרִ֖ים בְּבֵ֥ית הַסֹּֽהַר׃

6 And Joseph came to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.

6 וַיָּבֹ֧א אֲלֵיהֶ֛ם יֹוסֵ֖ף בַּבֹּ֑קֶר וַיַּ֣רְא אֹתָ֔ם וְהִנָּ֖ם זֹעֲפִֽים׃

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Why look ye so sad to-day?

7 וַיִּשְׁאַ֞ל אֶת־סְרִיסֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אִתֹּ֧ו בְמִשְׁמַ֛ר בֵּ֥ית אֲדֹנָ֖יו לֵאמֹ֑ר מַדּ֛וּעַ פְּנֵיכֶ֥ם רָעִ֖ים הַיֹּֽום׃

8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

8 וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵלָ֔יו חֲלֹ֣ום חָלַ֔מְנוּ וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹתֹ֑ו וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֜ם יֹוסֵ֗ף הֲלֹ֤וא לֵֽאלֹהִים֙ פִּתְרֹנִ֔ים סַפְּרוּ־נָ֖א לִֽי׃

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

9 וַיְסַפֵּ֧ר שַֽׂר־הַמַּשְׁקִ֛ים אֶת־חֲלֹמֹ֖ו לְיֹוסֵ֑ף וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לֹ֔ו בַּחֲלֹומִ֕י וְהִנֵּה־גֶ֖פֶן לְפָנָֽי׃

10 And on the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes:

10 וּבַגֶּ֖פֶן שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה שָׂרִיגִ֑ם וְהִ֤יא כְפֹרַ֙חַת֙ עָלְתָ֣ה נִצָּ֔הּ הִבְשִׁ֥ילוּ אַשְׁכְּלֹתֶ֖יהָ עֲנָבִֽים׃

11 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.

11 וְכֹ֥וס פַּרְעֹ֖ה בְּיָדִ֑י וָאֶקַּ֣ח אֶת־הָֽעֲנָבִ֗ים וָֽאֶשְׂחַ֤ט אֹתָם֙ אֶל־כֹּ֣וס פַּרְעֹ֔ה וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־הַכֹּ֖וס עַל־כַּ֥ף פַּרְעֹֽה׃

12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days;

12 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לֹו֙ יֹוסֵ֔ף זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנֹ֑ו שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַשָּׂ֣רִגִ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃

13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

13 בְּעֹ֣וד׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֤א פַרְעֹה֙ אֶת־רֹאשֶׁ֔ךָ וַהֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֖ עַל־כַּנֶּ֑ךָ וְנָתַתָּ֤ כֹוס־פַּרְעֹה֙ בְּיָדֹ֔ו כַּמִּשְׁפָּט֙ הָֽרִאשֹׁ֔ון אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיִ֖יתָ מַשְׁקֵֽהוּ׃

14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness to me, I pray thee, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

14 כִּ֧י אִם־זְכַרְתַּ֣נִי אִתְּךָ֗ כַּאֲשֶׁר֙ יִ֣יטַב לָ֔ךְ וְעָשִֽׂיתָ־נָּ֥א עִמָּדִ֖י חָ֑סֶד וְהִזְכַּרְתַּ֙נִי֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וְהֹוצֵאתַ֖נִי מִן־הַבַּ֥יִת הַזֶּֽה׃

15 For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

15 כִּֽי־גֻנֹּ֣ב גֻּנַּ֔בְתִּי מֵאֶ֖רֶץ הָעִבְרִ֑ים וְגַם־פֹּה֙ לֹא־עָשִׂ֣יתִֽי מְא֔וּמָה כִּֽי־שָׂמ֥וּ אֹתִ֖י בַּבֹּֽור׃

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

16 וַיַּ֥רְא שַׂר־הָאֹפִ֖ים כִּ֣י טֹ֣וב פָּתָ֑ר וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־יֹוסֵ֔ף אַף־אֲנִי֙ בַּחֲלֹומִ֔י וְהִנֵּ֗ה שְׁלֹשָׁ֛ה סַלֵּ֥י חֹרִ֖י עַל־רֹאשִֽׁי׃

17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

17 וּבַסַּ֣ל הָֽעֶלְיֹו֔ן מִכֹּ֛ל מַאֲכַ֥ל פַּרְעֹ֖ה מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֹפֶ֑ה וְהָעֹ֗וף אֹכֵ֥ל אֹתָ֛ם מִן־הַסַּ֖ל מֵעַ֥ל רֹאשִֽׁי׃

18 And Joseph answered, and said, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days:

18 וַיַּ֤עַן יֹוסֵף֙ וַיֹּ֔אמֶר זֶ֖ה פִּתְרֹנֹ֑ו שְׁלֹ֙שֶׁת֙ הַסַּלִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת יָמִ֖ים הֵֽם׃

19 Yet within 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.

19 בְּעֹ֣וד׀ שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים יִשָּׂ֨א פַרְעֹ֤ה אֶת־רֹֽאשְׁךָ֙ מֵֽעָלֶ֔יךָ וְתָלָ֥ה אֹותְךָ֖ עַל־עֵ֑ץ וְאָכַ֥ל הָעֹ֛וף אֶת־בְּשָׂרְךָ֖ מֵעָלֶֽיךָ׃

20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

20 וַיְהִ֣י׀ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י יֹ֚ום³ הֻלֶּ֣דֶת אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַשׂ מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה לְכָל־עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיִּשָּׂ֞א אֶת־רֹ֣אשׁ׀ שַׂ֣ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֗ים וְאֶת־רֹ֛אשׁ שַׂ֥ר הָאֹפִ֖ים בְּתֹ֥וךְ עֲבָדָֽיו׃

21 And he restored the chief butler to his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:

21 וַיָּ֛שֶׁב אֶת־שַׂ֥ר הַמַּשְׁקִ֖ים עַל־מַשְׁקֵ֑הוּ וַיִּתֵּ֥ן הַכֹּ֖וס עַל־כַּ֥ף פַּרְעֹֽה׃

22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

22 וְאֵ֛ת שַׂ֥ר הָאֹפִ֖ים תָּלָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּתַ֛ר לָהֶ֖ם יֹוסֵֽף׃

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

23 וְלֹֽא־זָכַ֧ר שַֽׂר־הַמַּשְׁקִ֛ים אֶת־יֹוסֵ֖ף וַיִּשְׁכָּחֵֽהוּ׃
