Genesis 40
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ipinaliwanag ni Jose ang Dalawang Panaginip
40 1-2 Pagkatapos ng mga nangyaring ito, nagkasala sa Faraon[a] ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi niya ng alak at pinuno ng mga panadero. Lubhang nagalit ang hari sa dalawa niyang opisyal na ito. 3 Kaya ipinabilanggo niya ang mga ito sa bahay ng kapitan ng mga guwardya sa palasyo kung saan naroon din si Jose nakabilanggo. 4 Si Jose ang katiwala ng kapitan ng mga guwardya na nag-aalaga sa kanila. Nagkasama sila nang matagal sa bilangguan.
5 Isang gabi, nanaginip ang tagasilbi ng alak at ang panadero ng Faraon habang naroon sila sa bilangguan. Ang bawat isa sa kanila ay magkaiba ang panaginip at magkaiba rin ang kahulugan.
6 Kinaumagahan, pagpunta ni Jose sa kanila, nakita niyang nanlulupaypay sila. 7 Kaya tinanong niya sila, “Bakit kayo malungkot?”
8 Sumagot sila, “Nanaginip kasi kami pero walang makapagpaliwanag ng kahulugan nito.”
Sinabi ni Jose, “Ang Dios ang nagbibigay ng kaalaman sa pagpapaliwanag ng kahulugan ng mga panaginip. Sige, sabihin nʼyo sa akin kung ano ang mga panaginip ninyo.”
9 Kaya sinabi ng pinuno ng tagasilbi ng alak ang kanyang panaginip. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip ako na may isang puno ng ubas sa aking harapan 10 at itoʼy may tatlong sanga. Tumubo ito, namulaklak, at nahinog ang mga bunga. 11 Nakahawak daw ako sa saro ng Faraon at pumitas ng ubas, at piniga ko agad sa saro. Pagkatapos, ibinigay ko ang saro sa hari.”
12 Sinabi ni Jose, “Ito ang kahulugan ng panaginip mo: Ang tatlong sanga ay nangangahulugan ng tatlong araw. 13 Hindi matatapos ang tatlong araw, palalabasin ka ng Faraon sa bilangguan at pababalikin ka sa trabaho mo bilang tagasilbi ng kanyang alak. 14 Nawaʼy alalahanin mo ako kapag nasa mabuti ka nang kalagayan. At bilang pagpapakita ng kabutihan mo sa akin, banggitin mo rin ako sa Faraon para matulungan mo ako na makalabas sa bilangguan. 15 Sapagkat ang totoo, sapilitan lang akong dinala rito mula sa lupain ng mga Hebreo, at kahit dito ay wala rin akong nagawang kasalanan para ibilanggo ako.”
16 Nang marinig ng pinuno ng mga panadero na maganda ang kahulugan ng panaginip, isinalaysay din niya ang panaginip niya kay Jose. Sinabi niya, “Nanaginip din ako na may dala-dala ako sa ulo ko na tatlong kaing na may mga laman na tinapay. 17 Ang ibabaw ng kaing ay may laman na ibaʼt ibang uri ng tinapay para sa Faraon, pero tinuka ito ng mga ibon.”
18 Sinabi ni Jose, “Ito ang kahulugan ng panaginip mo: Ang tatlong kaing ay nangangahulugan ng tatlong araw. 19 Hindi matatapos ang tatlong araw, palalabasin ka ng Faraon sa bilangguan pero ipapapatay ka niya at ibibitin ang bangkay mo sa kahoy, at tutukain ito ng mga ibon.”
20 Dumating ang ikatlong araw at ito ay kaarawan ng Faraon. Kaya nagpahanda siya para sa lahat ng opisyal niya. Pinalabas niya sa bilangguan ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi niya ng alak at ang pinuno ng mga panadero niya, at pinaharap sa kanyang mga opisyal. 21 Ibinalik niya ang pinuno ng mga tagasilbi ng alak sa kanyang trabaho. 22 Pero ipinapatay niya ang pinuno ng mga panadero, at ibinitin ang bangkay nito sa puno. Nangyari lahat ang sinabi ni Jose sa kanila.
23 Pero hindi naalala ng pinuno ng mga tagasilbi ng alak si Jose.

The Prisoners’ Dreams
40 It came to pass after these things that the (A)butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was (B)angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker. 3 (C)So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined. 4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.
5 Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, (D)had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. 6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were [a]sad. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, (E)“Why do you look so sad today?”
8 And they said to him, (F)“We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.”
So Joseph said to them, (G)“Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”
9 Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, 10 and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. 11 Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
12 And Joseph said to him, (H)“This is the interpretation of it: The three branches (I)are three days. 13 Now within three days Pharaoh will (J)lift up your head and restore you to your [b]place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler. 14 But (K)remember me when it is well with you, and (L)please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. 15 For indeed I was (M)stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; (N)and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and there were three [c]white baskets on my head. 17 In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 So Joseph answered and said, (O)“This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19 (P)Within three days Pharaoh will lift [d]off your head from you and (Q)hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.”
20 Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s (R)birthday, that he (S)made a feast for all his servants; and he (T)lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21 Then he (U)restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and (V)he placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand. 22 But he (W)hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but (X)forgot him.

Joseph Interprets Two Prisoners' Dreams
40 Some time after this, the (A)cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt. 2 And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, 3 (B)and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.
5 And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. 6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. 7 So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, (C)“Why are your faces downcast today?” 8 They said to him, (D)“We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, (E)“Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”
9 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me, 10 and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. 11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.” 12 Then Joseph said to him, (F)“This is its interpretation: (G)the three branches are three days. 13 In three days Pharaoh will (H)lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. 15 For (I)I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and (J)here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head, 17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.” 18 And Joseph answered and said, (K)“This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. 19 (L)In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and (M)hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”
20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh's (N)birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and (O)lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. 21 (P)He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and (Q)he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand. 22 But he (R)hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
