New Living Translation
Genesis 40:9-15
9So the chief cup-bearer told Joseph his dream first. “In my dream,” he said, “I saw a grapevine in front of me.
10The vine had three branches that began to bud and blossom, and soon it produced clusters of ripe grapes.
11I was holding Pharaoh’s wine cup in my hand, so I took a cluster of grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.”
12“This is what the dream means,” Joseph said. “The three branches represent three days.
13Within three days Pharaoh will lift you up and restore you to your position as his chief cup-bearer.
14And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place.
15For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.”
