Old Testament
Genesis
His ita gestis, accidit ut peccarent duo eunuchi, pincerna regis Ægypti, et pistor, domino suo.
After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord.
Ad hoc ita gere, accide ut pecca duo eunucho, pincerna de rege de Aegypto, et pistore, domino suo.
Iratusque contra eos Pharao (nam alter pincernis præerat, alter pistoribus),
And Pharao being angry with them, (now the one was chief butler, the other chief baker,)
Et irato contra illos Pharao (nam altero pincernos praesume, altero ad pistores),
misit eos in carcerem principis militum, in quo erat vinctus et Joseph.
He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner.
Mitte illos in carcere de principe de milites, in quo es vince et Ioseph.
At custos carceris tradidit eos Joseph, qui et ministrabat eis: aliquantulum temporis fluxerat, et illi in custodia tenebantur.
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody.
Sed custode de carcere trade illos Ioseph, qui et ministra ad illos: aliquantulum de tempore flue, et illo in custodia tene.
Videruntque ambo somnium nocte una, juxta interpretationem congruam sibi:
And they both dreamed a dream the same night, according to the interpretation agreeing to themselves:
Et ambo vide somnio nocte uno, juxta interpretatione congruo ad se:
ad quos cum introisset Joseph mane, et vidisset eos tristes,
And when Joseph was come into them in the morning, and saw them sad,
Ad que cum Ioseph introi mane, et vide illos triste,
sciscitatus est eos, dicens: Cur tristior est hodie solito facies vestra?
He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual?
Sciscitato es illos, dicente: quare triste es hodie solito fac vestro?
Qui responderunt: Somnium vidimus, et non est qui interpretetur nobis. Dixitque ad eos Joseph: Numquid non Dei est interpretatio? referte mihi quid videritis.
They answered: We have dreamed a dream, and there is nobody to interpret it to us. And Joseph said to them: Doth not interpretation belong to God? Tell me what you have dreamed:
Qui responde: somnio vide, et non qui interpretor ad nos es. Et Ioseph ad illos dic: numquid non de Deo es interpretatione? Refer ad me quid vide.
Narravit prior, præpositus pincernarum, somnium suum: Videbam coram me vitem,
The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine,
Narra priore, praepone de pincernas, somnio suo: vide coram me vite,
in qua erant tres propagines, crescere paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturescere:
On which were three branches, which by little and little sent out buds, and after the blossoms brought forth ripe grapes:
In quo es tre propago, cresce paulatim in gemmas, et post flores uvas maturesce:
calicemque Pharaonis in manu mea: tuli ergo uvas, et expressi in calicem quem tenebam, et tradidi poculum Pharaoni.
And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao.
Et calice de Pharaone in manu meo: fer ergo uvas, et exprime in calice quem tene, et trade poculo de Pharaone.
Respondit Joseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: tres propagines, tres adhuc dies sunt:
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three branches, are yet three days:
Ioseph responde: hoc es interpretatione de somnio: tre propago, tre adhuc dies es:
post quos recordabitur Pharao ministerii tui, et restituet te in gradum pristinum: dabisque ei calicem juxta officium tuum, sicut ante facere consueveras.
After which Pharao will remember thy service, and will restore thee to thy former place: and thou shalt present him the cup according to thy office, as before thou was wont to do.
Post que Pharao de ministerio tuo recordor, et restitue te in gradu pristino: et da ad illo calice juxta officio tuo, sicut ante facere consuesce.
Tantum memento mei, cum bene tibi fuerit, et facias mecum misericordiam: ut suggeras Pharaoni ut educat me de isto carcere:
Only remember me when it shall be well with thee, and do me this kindness: to put Pharao in mind to take me out of this prison:
Tanto mene meo, cum bene ad te es, et fac mecum misericordia: ut suggere ad Pharaone ut educe me de isto carcere:
quia furto sublatus sum de terra Hebræorum, et hic innocens in lacum missus sum.
For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon.
Quia furto tolle es de terra de Hebraeis, et hoc innocente in lacu misso es.
Videns pistorum magister quod prudenter somnium dissolvisset, ait: Et ego vidi somnium: quod tria canistra farinæ haberem super caput meum:
The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head:
Vidente de pistos magistro quod prudenter somnio dissolve, dic: et me vide somnio: quod tre canistro de farina habe super capite meo:
et in uno canistro quod erat excelsius, portare me omnes cibos qui fiunt arte pistoria, avesque comedere ex eo.
And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it.
Et in uno canistro quod es excelso, porta me omni cibos qui fi arte pistorio, et aves comede ex eo.
Respondit Joseph: Hæc est interpretatio somnii: tria canistra, tres adhuc dies sunt:
Joseph answered: This is the interpretation of the dream: The three baskets, are yet three days:
Responde Ioseph: hoc es interpretatione de somnio: tre canistro, tre adhuc dies es:
post quos auferet Pharao caput tuum, ac suspendet te in cruce, et lacerabunt volucres carnes tuas.
After which Pharao will take thy head from thee, and hang thee on a cross, and the birds shall tear thy flesh.
Post que Pharao aufer capite tuo, et suspende te in cruce, et volucres lacera carnes tuo.
Exinde dies tertius natalitius Pharaonis erat: qui faciens grande convivium pueris suis, recordatus est inter epulas magistri pincernarum, et pistorum principis.
The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker.
Exinde die tertio nataleter de Pharaone es: qui faciente grandi convivio ad pueros suo, recordor es inter epulas de magistro de pincernas, et de pistos de principe.
Restituitque alterum in locum suum, ut porrigeret ei poculum:
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup:
Et restitue altero in loco suo, ut porrige ad illo poculo:
alterum suspendit in patibulo, ut conjectoris veritas probaretur.
The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn.
Altero suspende in patibulo, ut de coniectore veritate proba.
Et tamen succedentibus prosperis, præpositus pincernarum oblitus est interpretis sui.
But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter.
Et tamen succede prosperos, praepone de pincernas oblina es de interprete suo.
