Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Бы́сть же по словесѣ́хъ си́хъ, согрѣшѝ старѣ́йшина вїна́рскъ царѧ̀ є҆гѵ́петска и҆ старѣ́йшина жита́рскъ господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀ царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ.
1 After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 И҆ разгнѣ́васѧ фараѡ́нъ на ѻ҆́ба є҆ѵнꙋ́хи своѧ̑, на старѣ́йшинꙋ вїна́рска и҆ на старѣ́йшинꙋ жита́рска,
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
3 и҆ вве́рже и҆̀хъ въ темни́цꙋ во ᲂу҆зи́лище, въ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же і҆ѡ́сифъ вве́рженъ бѧ́ше.
3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4 И҆ врꙋчѝ и҆̀хъ старѣ́йшина темни́цы і҆ѡ́сифꙋ, и҆ предста̀ и҆̀мъ: и҆ бѣ́ста дни̑ (нѣ̑кїѧ) въ темни́цѣ,
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
5 и҆ ви́дѣста ѻ҆́ба со́нъ во є҆ди́нꙋ но́щь: видѣ́нїе же со́нное старѣ́йшины вїна́рска и҆ старѣ́йшины жита́рска, и҆̀же бѣ́ста царѧ̀ є҆гѵ́петска, сꙋ́ще въ темни́цѣ, бѧ́ше сїѐ.
5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cup bearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
6 Вни́де же къ ни̑мъ і҆ѡ́сифъ заꙋ́тра и҆ ви́дѣ и҆̀хъ, и҆ бѧ́хꙋ смꙋще́ни:
6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
7 и҆ вопроша́ше є҆ѵнꙋ́хѡвъ фараѡ́нихъ, и҆̀же бы́ша съ ни́мъ въ темни́цѣ, ᲂу҆ господи́на своегѡ̀, глаго́лѧ: что̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ли́ца ва̑ша ᲂу҆ны̑ла дне́сь;
7 He asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
8 Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: со́нъ ви́дѣхомъ, и҆ разсꙋжда́ѧй є҆го̀ нѣ́сть. Рече́ же и҆̀мъ і҆ѡ́сифъ: є҆да̀ не бг҃омъ и҆з̾ѧвле́нїе и҆́хъ є҆́сть; повѣ́дите ᲂу҆̀бо мнѣ̀.
8 They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”
9 И҆ повѣ́да старѣ́йшина вїна́рскъ со́нъ сво́й і҆ѡ́сифꙋ и҆ речѐ: во снѣ̀ мое́мъ бѧ́ше вїногра́дъ предо мно́ю:
9 The chief cup bearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,
10 въ вїногра́дѣ же трѝ лѣ̑торасли, и҆ то́й цвѣтꙋ́щь произнесѐ ѿ́расли, зрѣ̑лы гро́зды лѡ́зныѧ:
10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
11 и҆ ча́ша фараѡ́нова въ рꙋцѣ̀ мое́й: и҆ взѧ́хъ гре́знъ, и҆ и҆зжа́хъ ѻ҆́ный въ ча́шꙋ, и҆ да́хъ ча́шꙋ въ рꙋ́кꙋ фараѡ́ню.
11 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.”
12 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡ́сифъ: сїѐ разсꙋжде́нїе семꙋ̀: трѝ лѣ̑торасли трѝ дни̑ сꙋ́ть:
12 Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
13 є҆щѐ трѝ дни̑, и҆ помѧне́тъ фараѡ́нъ са́нъ тво́й, и҆ па́ки поста́витъ тѧ̀ въ старѣ́йшинство твоѐ вїна́рско, и҆ пода́си ча́шꙋ фараѡ́нꙋ въ рꙋ́кꙋ є҆гѡ̀ по са́нꙋ твоемꙋ̀ пе́рвомꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже бы́лъ є҆сѝ вїноче́рпчїй:
13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cup bearer.
14 но помѧни́ мѧ тобо́ю, є҆гда̀ бла́го тѝ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ сотвори́ши надо мно́ю ми́лость, и҆ да помѧне́ши ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ фараѡ́нꙋ, и҆ и҆зведе́ши мѧ̀ ѿ тверды́ни сеѧ̀:
14 But remember me when it is well with you. Please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.
15 ꙗ҆́кѡ татьбо́ю ᲂу҆кра́денъ бы́хъ и҆з̾ землѝ є҆вре́йскїѧ, и҆ здѣ̀ ничто̀ ѕло̀ сотвори́хъ, но вверго́ша мѧ̀ въ ро́въ се́й.
15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.”
16 И҆ ви́дѣ старѣ́йшина жита́рскъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прѧ́мѡ разсꙋдѝ, и҆ речѐ і҆ѡ́сифꙋ: и҆ а҆́зъ ви́дѣхъ со́нъ, и҆ мнѧ́хсѧ трѝ кѡ́шницы хлѣ́бѡвъ держа́ти на главѣ̀ мое́й:
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, “I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
17 въ ко́шницѣ же ве́рхней ѿ всѣ́хъ родѡ́въ, ꙗ҆̀же фараѡ́нъ ꙗ҆́стъ, дѣ́ло хлѣ́бенное, и҆ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ та̑ѧ ѿ ко́шницы, ꙗ҆́же на главѣ̀ мое́й.
17 In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Ѿвѣща́въ же і҆ѡ́сифъ, речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: сїѐ разсꙋжде́нїе є҆гѡ̀: трѝ кѡ́шницы трѝ дні́е сꙋ́ть:
18 Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.
19 є҆щѐ трѝ дні́е, и҆ ѿи́метъ фараѡ́нъ главꙋ̀ твою̀ ѿ тебє̀ и҆ повѣ́ситъ тѧ̀ на дре́вѣ, и҆ и҆з̾ѧдѧ́тъ пти̑цы небє́сныѧ пло́ть твою̀ ѿ тебє̀.
19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”
20 Бы́сть же въ де́нь тре́тїй, де́нь рожде́нїѧ бѧ́ше фараѡ́нѧ, и҆ творѧ́ше пи́ръ всѣ̑мъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: и҆ помѧнꙋ̀ старѣ́йшинство старѣ́йшины вїна́рска и҆ старѣ́йшинство старѣ́йшины жита́рска, посредѣ̀ ѻ҆́трѡкъ свои́хъ:
20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
21 и҆ поста́ви старѣ́йшинꙋ вїна́рска въ старѣ́йшинство є҆гѡ̀: и҆ подадѐ ча́шꙋ въ рꙋ́кꙋ фараѡ́ню:
21 He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
22 старѣ́йшинꙋ же жита́рска повѣ́си (на дре́вѣ), ꙗ҆́коже сказа̀ и҆́ма і҆ѡ́сифъ.
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 И҆ не помѧнꙋ̀ старѣ́йшина вїна́рскъ і҆ѡ́сифа, но забы̀ є҆го̀.
23 Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
As, for instance, Adam says, "I have gotten a man through God," meaning to say the same as from God; and in another passage "Moses commanded...Israel through the word of the Lord," and, again, "Is not the interpretation through God?" Joseph, discoursing about dreams to the prisoners, instead of saying "from God" says plainly "through God." Inversely Paul uses the …
