Genesis 40 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 It happened achar (other) these things, that the butler of the malak (king) of Matzarayam (Egypt) and his baker chataa (offended) their Adawan (), the malak (king) of Matzarayam (Egypt).

2 Paraih (Pharaoh) was qatzap (angry) with his shanayam (two) sarayas (officers), the shar (prince / ruler) cupbearer and the shar (prince / ruler) baker.

3 He nathan (give) them in custody in the bayath (house) of the shar (prince / ruler) of the tabach (guard), into the bayath (house), the maqawam (place) where Yawasap (Joseph) was asar (bound).

4 The shar (prince / ruler) of the tabach (guard) assigned them to Yawasap (Joseph), and he took care of them. They stayed in mashamar (prison) many yamayam (days).

5 They shanayam (two) chalam (dream) a chalawam (dream), each ayash (man / husband) his chalawam (dream), in achad (one) layal (night), each ayash (man / husband) according to the patharawan (interpretation) of his chalawam (dream), the cupbearer and the baker of the malak (king) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), who were asar (bound) in the bayath (house).

6 Yawasap (Joseph) bawaa (bring) in to them in the baqar (morning), and saw them, and saw that they were zaip (sad).

7 He shaal (asked) Paraih (Pharaoh's) sarayasay (officers) who were with him in custody in his adawan (master / lord) bayath (house), amar (said), “Why do you panayam (face) so rai (sad) today?”

8 They amar (spoke) to him, “We have chalam (dream) a chalawam (dream), and there is no one who can pathar (interpret) it.” Yawasap (Joseph) amar (spoke) to them, “Don't patharanayam (interpretations) belong to Alahayam ()? Please sapar (book) it to me.”

9 The shar (prince / ruler) cupbearer sapar (book) his chalawam (dream) to Yawasap (Joseph), and amar (said) to him, “In my chalawam (dream), behold, a gapan (vine) panayam (face) in front of me,

10 And in the gapan (vine) were shalawash (three) branches. It was as though it parach (budded), it natz (blossomed), and its ashakawal (clusters) produced ripe inabayam (grapes).

11 Paraih (Pharaoh's) kawas (cup) was in my yad (hand); and I laqach (take / seize) the inabayam (grapes), and shachat (pressed) them into Paraih (Pharaoh's) kawas (cup), and I nathan (give) the kawas (cup) into Paraih (Pharaoh's) kap (hand).”

12 Yawasap (Joseph) amar (said) to him, “This is its patharawan (interpretation): the shalawash (three) branches are shalawash (three) yamayam (days).

13 Within shalawash (three) more yamayam (days), Paraih (Pharaoh) will nashaa (lift) up your raash (head), and shawab (turn) you to your kan (for sure). You will nathan (give) Paraih (Pharaoh's) kawas (cup) into his yad (hand), the mashapat (way) you did when you were his cupbearer.

14 But zakar (remember) me when it will be yatab (well) with you, and please show chasad (grace) to me, and zakar (remember) mention of me to Paraih (Pharaoh), and yatzaa (go out / come out) me out of this bayath (house).

15 For ganab (indeed), I was stolen away out of the aratz (Earth/land) of the ibarayam (hebrews), and here also ishah (make) I done maawamah (nothing) that they should shawam (place / establish / appoint) me into the bawar (dungeon).”

16 When the shar (prince / ruler) baker raah (see / saw) that the interpretation was tawab (good / proper function), he amar (said) to Yawasap (Joseph), “I also was in my chalawam (dream), and behold, shalawash (three) salay (baskets) of charay (white) bread were on my raash (head).

17 In the ilayawan (Most High) sal (basket) there was all kinds of baked food for Paraih (Pharaoh), and the iwap (flying) akal (eat) them out of the sal (basket) on my raash (head).”

18 Yawasap (Joseph) inah (answer / respond), “This is its patharawan (interpretation). The shalawash (three) salayam (baskets) are shalawash (three) yamayam (days).

19 Within shalawash (three) more yamayam (days), Paraih (Pharaoh) will nashaa (lift) up your raash (head) from off you, and will thalah (hang) you on a itz (tree); and the iwap (flying) will akal (eat) your bashar (flesh) from off you.”

20 It happened the shalayashay (third) yawam (day), which was Paraih (Pharaoh's) birthday, that he ishah (make) a mashathah (feast) for all his ibad (servant), and he nashaa (lift) up the raash (head) of the shar (prince / ruler) cupbearer and the head of the shar (prince / ruler) baker thawak (midst) his ibad (servant).

21 He shawab (turn) the shar (prince / ruler) cupbearer to his position again, and he nathan (give) the kawas (cup) into Paraih (Pharaoh's) kap (hand);

22 But he hanged the shar (prince / ruler) baker, as Yawasap (Joseph) had pathar (interpreted) to them.

23 Yet the shar (prince / ruler) cupbearer didn't zakar (remember) Yawasap (Joseph), but shakach (forgot) him.
