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。
40：9酒政便将他的梦告诉约瑟说，我梦见在我面前有一棵葡萄树，
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph； and said to him； In my dream； behold； a vine was before me；
40：10树上有三根枝子，好像发了芽，开了花，上头的葡萄都成熟了。
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：
40：11法老的杯在我手中，我就拿葡萄挤在法老的杯里，将杯递在他手中。
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。
40：12约瑟对他说，他所作的梦是这样解，三根枝子就是三天。
And Joseph said unto him； This is the interpretation of it： The three branches are three days：
40：13三天之内，法老必提你出监，叫你官复原职，你仍要递杯在法老的手中，和先前作他的酒政一样。
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head； and restore thee unto thy place： and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand； after the former manner when thou wast his butler。
40：14但你得好处的时候，求你记念我，施恩与我，在法老面前提说我，救我出这监牢。
But think on me when it shall be well with thee； and shew kindness； I pray thee； unto me； and make mention of me unto Pharaoh； and bring me out of this house：
40：15我实在是从希伯来人之地被拐来的。我在这里也没有作过什么，叫他们把我下在监里。
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。
40：16膳长见梦解得好，就对约瑟说，我在梦中见我头上顶着三筐白饼。
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：
40：17极上的筐子里有为法老烤的各样食物，有飞鸟来吃我头上筐子里的食物。
And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh； and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head。
40：18约瑟说，你的梦是这样解，三个筐子就是三天。
And Joseph answered and said； This is the interpretation thereof： The three baskets are three days：
40：19三天之内，法老必斩断你的头，把你挂在木头上，必有飞鸟来吃你身上的肉。
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。
40：20到了第三天，是法老的生日，他为众臣仆设摆筵席，把酒政和膳长提出监来，
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。
40：21使酒政官复原职，他仍旧递杯在法老手中。
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again； and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand：
40：22但把膳长挂起来，正如约瑟向他们所解的话。
But he hanged the chief baker： as Joseph had interpreted to them。
40：23酒政却不记念约瑟，竟忘了他。
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph； but forgat him。
旧约 创世记（Genesis） 第 41 章 （ 本篇共有 50 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
41：1过了两年，法老作梦，梦见自己站在河边，
And it came to pass at the end of two full years； that Pharaoh dreamed： and； behold； he stood by the river。
41：2有七只母牛从河里上来，又美好又肥壮，在芦荻中吃草。
And； behold； there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed； and they fed in a meadow。
41：3随后又有七只母牛从河里上来，又丑陋又乾瘦，与那七只母牛一同站在河边。
And； behold； seven other kine came up after them out of the river； ill favoured and leanfleshed； and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river。
41：4这又丑陋又乾瘦的七只母牛吃尽了那又美好又肥壮的七只母牛。法老就醒了。
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine。 So Pharaoh awoke。
41：5他又睡着，第二回作梦，梦见一棵麦子长了七个穗子，又肥大又佳美，
And he slept and dreamed the second time： and； behold； seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk； rank and good。
41：6随后又长了七个穗子，又细弱又被东风吹焦了。
And； behold； seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them。
41：7这细弱的穗子吞了那七个又肥大又饱满的穗子。法老醒了，不料是个梦。
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears。 And Pharaoh awoke； and； behold； it was a dream。
41：8到了早晨，法老心里不安，就差人召了埃及所有的术士和博士来。法老就把所作的梦告诉他们，却没有人能给法老圆解。
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled； and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt； and all the wise men thereof： and Pharaoh told them his dream； but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh。
41：9那时酒政对法老说，我今日想起我的罪来。
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh； saying； I do remember my faults this day：
41：10从前法老恼怒臣仆，把我和膳长下在护卫长府布的监里。
Pharaoh was wroth with his servants； and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house； both me and the chief baker：
41：11我们二人同夜各作一梦，各梦都有讲解。
And we dreamed a dream in one night； I and he； we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream。
41：12在那里同着我们有一个希伯来的少年人，是护卫长的仆人，我们告诉他，他就把我们的梦圆解，是按着各人的梦圆解的。
And there was there with us a young man； an Hebrew； servant to the captain of the guard； and we told him； and he interpreted to us our dreams； to each man according to his dream he did interpret。
41：13后来正如他给我们圆解的成就了。我官复原职，膳长被挂起来了。
And it came to pass； as he interpreted to us； so it was； me he restored unto mine office； and him he hanged。
41：14法老遂即差人去召约瑟，他们便急忙带他出监，他就剃头，刮脸，换衣裳，进到法老面前。
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph； and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon： and he shaved himself； and changed his raiment； and came in unto Pharaoh。
41：15法老对约瑟说，我作了一梦，没有人能解。我听见人说，你听了梦就能解。
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph； I have dreamed a dream； and there is none that can interpret it： and I have heard say of thee； that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it。
41：16约瑟回答法老说，这不在乎我，神必将平安的话回答法老。
And Joseph answered Pharaoh； saying； It is not in me： God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace。
41：17法老对约瑟说，我梦见我站在河边，
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph； In my dream； behold； I stood upon the bank of the river：
41：18有七只母牛从河里上来，又肥壮又美好，在芦荻中吃草。
And； behold； there came up out of the river seven kine； fatfleshed and well favoured； and they fed in a meadow：
41：19随后又有七只母牛上来，又软弱又丑陋又乾瘦，在埃及遍地，我没有见过这样不好的。
And； behold； seven other kine came up after them； poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed； such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness：
41：20这又乾瘦又丑陋的母牛吃尽了那以先的七只肥母牛，
And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine：
41：21吃了以后却看不出是吃了，那丑陋的样子仍旧和先前一样。我就醒了。
And when they had eaten them up； it could not be known that they had eaten them； but they were still ill favoured； as at the beginning。 So I awoke。
41：22我又梦见一棵麦子，长了七个穗子，又饱满又佳美，
And I saw in my dream； and； behold； seven ears came up in one stalk； full and good：
41：23随后又长了七个穗子，枯槁细弱，被东风吹焦了。
And； behold； seven ears； withered； thin； and blasted with the east wind； sprung up after them：
41：24这些细弱的穗子吞了那七个佳美的穗子。我将这梦告诉了术士，却没有人能给我解说。
And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears： and I told this unto the magicians； but there was none that could declare it to me。
41：25约瑟对法老说，法老的梦乃是一个。神已将所要作的事指示法老了。
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh； The dream of Pharaoh is one： God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do。
41：26七只好母牛是七年，七个好穗子也是七年。这梦乃是一个。
The seven good kine are seven years； and the seven good ears are seven years： the dream is one。
41：27那随后上来的七只又乾瘦又丑陋的母牛是七年，那七个虚空，被东风吹焦的穗子也是七年，都是七个荒年。
And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years； and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine。
41：28这就是我对法老所说，神已将所要作的事显明给法老了。
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh： What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh。
41：29埃及遍地必来七个大丰年，
Behold； there e seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt：
41：30随后又要来七个荒年，甚至埃及地都忘了先前的丰收，全地必被饥荒所灭。
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine； and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt； and the famine shall consume the land；
41：31因那以后的饥荒甚大，便不觉得先前的丰收了。
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following； for it shall be very grievous。
41：32至于法老两回作梦，是因神命定这事，而且必速速成就。
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice； it is because the thing is established by God； and God will shortly bring it to pass。
41：33所以，法老当拣选一个有聪明有智慧的人，派他治理埃及地。
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discre
