The Book of Genesis, Chapter 40ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ Μ′

Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἥμαρτεν ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιὸς τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτῶν βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου.

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

καὶ ὠργίσθη Φαραω ἐπὶ τοῖς δυσὶν εὐνούχοις αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχιοινοχόῳ καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἀρχισιτοποιῷ.

And Pharaoh was angry with his two officials — the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ παρὰ τῷ ἀρχιμαγείρῳ εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, εἰς τὸν τόπον, οὗ Ιωσηφ ἀπήγετο ἐκεῖ.

And he put them in custody under the authority of the chief guard, in the prison — in the place where Joseph was being held.

καὶ συνέστησεν ὁ ἀρχιδεσμοφύλαξ τῷ Ιωσηφ αὐτούς, καὶ παρέστη αὐτοῖς· ἦσαν δὲ ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.

And the chief jailer assigned them to Joseph, and he attended to them; and they remained some days in the prison.

εἶδον δὲ ἀμφότεροι ἐνύπνιον, ἑκάτερος ἐνύπνιον ἐν μιᾷ νυκτί, ὅρασις τοῦ ἐνυπνίου αὐτοῦ, ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος καὶ ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιὸς οἳ ἦσαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου, οἱ ὄντες ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ.

And both of them had a dream — each his dream in the same night, each dream with its own vision — the chief cupbearer and the chief baker of the king of Egypt who were in the prison.

εἰσῆλθεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ιωσηφ τὸ πρωὶ καὶ εἶδεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἦσαν τεταραγμένοι.

And Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, and they were troubled.

καὶ ἠρώτα τοὺς εὐνούχους Φαραω τοὺς ὄντας μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ λέγων· Τί ὅτι τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ σήμερον;

And he kept asking the officials of Pharaoh who were with him in custody under his lord, saying: 'Why is it that your faces are downcast today?'

οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Ἐνύπνιον εἴδομεν, καὶ ὁ συγκρίνων αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστιν. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ· Οὐχὶ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ διασάφησις αὐτῶν ἐστιν; διηγήσασθε δή μοι.

And they said to him: 'We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.' And Joseph said to them: 'Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me, then.'

καὶ διηγήσατο ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ιωσηφ καὶ εἶπεν· Ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ μου ἦν ἄμπελος ἐναντίον μου·

And the chief cupbearer narrated his dream to Joseph and said: 'In my sleep there was a vine before me.'

ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀμπέλῳ τρεῖς πυθμένες, καὶ αὐτὴ θάλλουσα ἀνενήνοχεν βλαστόν, ἐξήνθησαν δὲ οἱ βότρυς αὐτῆς σταφυλάς.

And on the vine were three stems, and it was budding — it had put forth a shoot, and its clusters blossomed into grapes.

καὶ τὸ ποτήριον Φαραω ἐν τῇ χειρί μου· καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς βότρυς καὶ ἐξέθλιψα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ποτήριον καὶ ἔδωκα τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὰς χεῖρας Φαραω.

And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the clusters and pressed them into the cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hands.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ιωσηφ· Τοῦτο ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· οἱ τρεῖς πυθμένες τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν.

And Joseph said to him: 'This is its interpretation: the three stems are three days.'

ἔτι τρεῖς ἡμέραι καὶ μνησθήσεται Φαραω τῆς ἀρχῆς σου καὶ ἀποκαταστήσει σε ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχιοινοχοΐαν σου, καὶ δώσεις τὸ ποτήριον Φαραω εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχήν σου τὴν προτέραν ὡς ἦσθα οἰνοχοῶν.

In three days Pharaoh will remember your position and will restore you to your office as chief cupbearer; and you will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, according to your former rank as you used to serve as his cupbearer.

ἀλλὰ μνήσθητί μου διὰ σεαυτοῦ, ὅταν εὖ σοι γένηται, καὶ ποιήσεις ἐν ἐμοὶ ἔλεος καὶ μνησθήσῃ περὶ ἐμοῦ πρὸς Φαραω καὶ ἐξάξεις με ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος τούτου·

But remember me yourself when things go well for you, and show me kindness, and mention me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this stronghold.

ὅτι κλοπῇ ἐκλάπην ἐκ γῆς Εβραίων, καὶ ὧδε οὐδὲν ἐποίησα, ἀλλ᾿ ἐνέβαλόν με εἰς τὸν λάκκον τοῦτον.

For I was stolen by theft from the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing, yet they threw me into this pit.

Καὶ εἶδεν ὁ ἀρχισιτοποιὸς ὅτι ὀρθῶς συνέκρινεν, καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιωσηφ· Κἀγὼ εἶδον ἐνύπνιον, καὶ ᾤμην τρία κανᾶ χονδριτῶν αἴρειν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς μου·

And the chief baker saw that he had interpreted correctly, and he said to Joseph: 'I also had a dream: I thought I was carrying three baskets of fine flour on my head.'

ἐν δὲ τῷ κανῷ τῷ ἐπάνω ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν γενημάτων ὧν ὁ βασιλεὺς Φαραω ἐσθίει, ἔργον σιτοποιοῦ, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατήσθιεν αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τοῦ κανοῦ τοῦ ἐπάνω τῆς κεφαλῆς μου.

And in the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh the king — the work of a baker — and the birds of the sky were eating them from the basket on top of my head.

ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ιωσηφ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Αὕτη ἡ σύγκρισις αὐτοῦ· τὰ τρία κανᾶ τρεῖς ἡμέραι εἰσίν·

And Joseph answered and said to him: 'This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.'

ἔτι τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἀφελεῖ Φαραω τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ κρεμάσει σε ἐπὶ ξύλου, καὶ φάγεται τὰ ὄρνεα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τὰς σάρκας σου ἀπό σου.

In yet three days Pharaoh will remove your head from you, and will hang you on a tree, and the birds of the sky will eat your flesh from you.

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἡμέρα γενέσεως ἦν Φαραω, καὶ ἐποίει πότον πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐμνήσθη τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ ἀρχιοινοχόου καὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ ἀρχισιτοποιοῦ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ.

And it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he remembered the position of the chief cupbearer and the position of the chief baker among his servants.

καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν τὸν ἀρχιοινοχόον ἐπὶ τὴν ἀρχιοινοχοΐαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν τὸ ποτήριον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα Φαραω·

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

τὸν δὲ ἀρχισιτοποιὸν ἐκρέμασεν, καθὰ συνέκρινεν αὐτοῖς Ιωσηφ.

But the chief baker he hanged, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.

οὐκ ἐμνήσθη δὲ ὁ ἀρχιοινοχόος τοῦ Ιωσηφ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπελάθετο αὐτοῦ.

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