Genesis 40:1-8 MKJV (1) And after these things it happened that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and his baker, had offended their lord the king of Egypt. (2) And Pharaoh was angry against two of his eunuchs, against the chief of the cupbearers and against the chief of the bakers. (3) And he put them under guard in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. (4) And the chief of the executioners charged Joseph with them, and he served them. And they continued for a time under guard. (5) And they dreamed a dream, both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison. (6) And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad. (7) And he asked Pharaoh's eunuchs who were with him under guard in his lord's house, saying, Why are your faces sad today? (8) And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Now tell it to me.

Genesis 40:1-8 YLT (1) And it cometh to pass, after these things--the butler of the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt; (2) and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers, (3) and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph is a prisoner, (4) and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge. (5) And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who are prisoners in the round-house. (6) And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth them, and lo, they are morose; (7) and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who are with him in charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore are your faces sad to-day?' (8) And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us.
