1 Mucho tiempo después, el jefe de los panaderos y el jefe de los coperos que servían al rey de Egipto, hicieron algo que lo ofendió.
1 After these things, the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
2 Por eso, el faraón se enojó con ellos y los mandó a la misma cárcel en donde estaba José, es decir, en la casa del capitán de la guardia.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.
3 Not in this translation
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 Estuvieron presos un buen tiempo, y el capitán de la guardia designó a José para que los atendiera.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.
5 Cierta noche cada uno de ellos tuvo un sueño.
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 A la mañana siguiente José los notó tristes y deprimidos.
6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.
7 ―¿Qué les pasa? ¿Por qué están tan tristes? —les preguntó.
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 Ellos le contestaron: ―Cada uno de nosotros tuvo un sueño anoche, y no hay quién nos interprete los sueños.
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 El primero en contar su sueño fue el jefe de los coperos: ―En mi sueño vi una vid con tres ramas que brotaron, florecieron y luego dieron racimos de uva madura.
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 Not in this translation
10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
11 Yo tenía la copa del faraón, Entonces tomé las uvas y las exprimí en la copa del faraón y se la serví.
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 José entonces le dijo: ―Esta es la interpretación del sueño: Las tres ramas son tres días.
12 Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
13 Dentro de tres días el faraón te va a sacar de la cárcel y te pondrá nuevamente en tu cargo de copero.
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 Por favor, apiádate de mí cuando hayas vuelto a gozar del favor del faraón, y pídele que me saque de aquí.
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 Yo soy un hebreo que fue raptado de su tierra, y ahora estoy en la cárcel sin haber hecho nada para merecer este castigo.
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 Cuando el jefe de los panaderos vio que el primer sueño tenía un significado tan bueno, también le contó su sueño a José. ―En mi sueño llevaba tres canastos de pan sobre la cabeza.
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 El canasto de encima estaba lleno de deliciosos productos de pastelería, hechos especialmente para el faraón. Pero vinieron las aves y se los comieron.
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 ―Los tres canastos son tres días —le dijo José—.
18 Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.
19 De aquí a tres días, el faraón te quitará la cabeza, colgará tu cuerpo de un madero, y las aves comerán tus carnes.
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 Tres días más tarde, el faraón hizo una fiesta para celebrar su cumpleaños. Invitó a todos sus funcionarios y a todo el personal de su palacio. Mandó a buscar al jefe de los coperos y al jefe de los panaderos. Así que los sacaron de la cárcel y los llevaron delante del faraón.
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 Entonces el faraón colocó de nuevo al jefe de los coperos en su cargo,
21 He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand;
22 pero mandó a ahorcar al jefe de los panaderos, tal como lo había dicho José.
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Sin embargo, el jefe de los coperos se olvidó por completo de José.
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 …
