< Genesis 31 >

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory of that which was our father's.
茲にヤコブ、ラバンの子等がヤコブわが父の所有を盡く奪ひ吾父の所有によりて此凡の榮光を獲たりといふを聞り
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
亦ヤコブ、ラバンの面を見るに己に對すること疇昔の如くならず
3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
時にヱホバ、ヤコブに言たまへるは汝の父の國にかへり汝の親族に至れ我汝と偕にをらんと
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
是に於てヤコブ人をやりてラケルとレアを野に招きて群の所に至らしめ
5 and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime, but the God of my father has been with me.
之にいひけるは我汝等の父の面を見るに其我に對すること疇昔の如くならず然どわが父の神は我と偕にいますなり
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
汝等がしるごとく我力を竭して汝らの父に事へたるに
7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
汝等の父我を欺きて十次もわが値を易たり然ども神彼の我を害するを容したまはず
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore speckled, and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore ringstreaked.
彼斑駮なる者は汝の傭値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑駮なり斑入の者は汝の値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑入なり
9 Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に與へたまへり
10 And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.
群の孕む時に當りて我夢に目をあげて見しに群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なりき
11 And the agent of God said to me in the dream, Jacob. And I said, Here I am.
時に神の使者夢の中に我に言ふヤコブよと我此にありと對へければ
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
乃ち言ふ汝の目をあげて見よ群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なり我ラバンが凡て汝に爲すところを鑒みる
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointed a pillar, where thou vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return to the land of thy nativity.
我はベテルの神なり汝彼處にて柱に膏を沃ぎ彼處にて我に誓を立たり今起て斯地を出て汝の親族の國に歸れと
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
ラケルとレア對て彼にいひけるは我等の父の家に尚われらの分あらんや我等の產業あらんや
15 Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
我等は父に他人のごとくせらるるにあらずや其は父我等を賣り亦我等の金を蝕减したればなり
16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to thee, do.
神がわが父より取たまひし財寶は我等とわれらの子女の所屬なり然ば都て神の汝に言たまひし事を爲せ
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels.
是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.
其獲たる凡の家畜と凡の所有即ちパダンアラムにてみづから獲たるところの家畜を携へ去てカナンの地に居所の其父イサクの所におもむけり
19 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
時にラバンは羊の毛を剪んとて往てありラケル其父のテラピムを竊めり
20 And Jacob slipped away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
ヤコブは其去ことをスリア人ラバンに告ずして潛に忍びいでたり
21 So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
即ち彼その凡の所有を挈へて逃去り起て河を渡りギレアデの山にむかふ
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
ヤコブの逃去しこと三日におよびてラバンに聞えければ
23 And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
彼兄弟を率てその後を追ひしが七日路をへてギレアデの山にて之に追及ぬ
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
神夜の夢にスリア人ラバンに臨みて汝愼みて善も惡もヤコブに道なかれと之に告たまへり
25 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain. And Laban encamped with his brothers in the mountain of Gilead.
ラバン遂にヤコブに追及しがヤコブは山に天幕を張ゐたればラバンもその兄弟と共にギレアデの山に天幕をはれり
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have thou done, that thou have slipped away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?
而してラバン、ヤコブに言けるは汝我に知しめずして忍びいで吾女等を劍をもて執たる者のごとくにひき往り何ぞかかる事をなすや
27 Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
何故に汝潛に逃さり我をはなれて忍いで我につげざりしや我歡喜と歌謠と鼗と琴をもて汝を送りしならんを
28 and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou have done foolishly.
何ぞ我をしてわが孫と女に接吻するを得ざらしめしや汝愚妄なる事をなせり
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
汝等に害をくはふるの能わが手にあり然ど汝等の父の神昨夜我に告て汝つつしみて善も惡もヤコブに語べからずといへり
30 And now, though thou have certainly gone, because thou have been very desirous for thy father's house, yet why have thou stolen my gods?
汝今父の家を甚く戀て歸んと願ふは善れども何ぞわが神を竊みたるや
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou should take thy daughters from me by force.
ヤコブ答へてラバンにいひけるは恐くは汝強て女を我より奪ならんと思ひて懼れたればなり
32 With whomever thou find thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brothers discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
汝の神を持る者を見ば之を生しおくなかれ我等の兄弟等の前にて汝の何物我の許にあるかをみわけて之を汝に取れと其はヤコブ、ラケルが之を竊しを知ざればなり
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
是に於てラバン、ヤコブの天幕に入りレアの天幕に入りまた二人の婢の天幕にいりしが視いださざればレアの天幕を出てラケルの天幕にいる
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find them.
ラケル已にテラピムを執て之を駱駝の鞍の下にいれて其上に坐しければラバン遍く天幕の中をさぐりたれども見いださざりき
35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but did not find the teraphim.
時にラケル父にいひけるは婦女の經の習例の事わが身にあれば父の前に起あたはず願くは主之を怒り給ふなかれと是をもて彼さがしたれども遂にテラピムを見いださざりき
36 And Jacob was angry, and chided with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin that thou have hotly pursued after me?
是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應てラバンに言けるは我何の愆あり何の罪ありてか汝火急く我をおふや
37 Whereas thou have felt around all my stuff, what have thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and thy brothers, that they may judge between us two.
汝わが物を盡く索たるが汝の家の何物を見いだしたるや此にわが兄弟と汝の兄弟の前に其を置て我等二人の間をさばかしめよ
38 These twenty years I have been with thee, thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and I have not eaten the rams of thy flocks.
我この二十年汝とともにありしが汝の牝綿羊と牝山羊其胎を殰ねしことなし又汝の群の牡綿羊は我食はざりき
39 I did not bring to thee that which was torn by beasts; I bore the loss of it, of my hand thou required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
又噛裂れたる者は我これを汝の所に持きたらずして自ら之を補へり又晝竊るるも夜竊るるも汝わが手より之を要めたり
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
我は是ありつ晝は暑に夜は寒に犯されて目も寐るの遑なく
41 These twenty years I have been in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock. And thou have changed my wages ten times.
此二十年汝の家にありたり汝の二人の女の爲に十四年汝の群のために六年汝に事たり然に汝は十次もわが値を易たり
42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now thou would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee last night.
若わが父の神アブラハムの神イサクのの畏む者我とともにいますにあらざれば汝今必ず我を空手にて去しめしならん神わが苦難とわが手の勞苦をかへりみて昨夜汝を責たまへるなり
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons whom they have borne?
ラバン應てヤコブに言けるは女等はわが女子等はわが子群はわが群汝が見る者は皆わが所屬なり我今日此わが女等とその生たる子等に何をなすをえんや
44 And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
然ば來れ我と汝二人契約をむすび之を我と汝の間の證憑となすべし
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり
46 And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones, and they took stones, and made a heap. And they ate there by the heap.
ヤコブ又その兄弟等に石をあつめよといひければ即ち石をとりて垤を成れり斯て彼等彼處にて垤の上に食す
47 And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
ラバン之をエガルサハドタ(證憑の垤)と名けヤコブ之をギレアデ(證憑の垤)と名けたり
48 And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore the name of it was called Galeed,
ラバン此垤今日われとなんぢの間の證憑たりといひしによりて其名はギレアデとと稱らる
49 and Mizpah. For he said, May Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another,
又ミヅパ(觀望樓)と稱らる其は彼我等が互にわかるるに及べる時ねがはくはヱホバ我と汝の間を監みたまへといひたればなり
50 if thou will afflict my daughters, and if thou will take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness between me and thee.
彼又いふ汝もしわが女をなやまし或はわが女のほかに妻をめとらば人の我らと偕なる者なきも神と汝のあひだにいまして證をなしたまふ
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set between me and thee.
ラバン又ヤコブにいふ我われとなんぢの間にたてたる此垤を視よ柱をみよ
52 This heap is witness, and the pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
此垤證とならん柱證とならん我この垤を越て汝を害せじ汝この垤この柱を越て我を害せざれ
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
アブラハムの神ナホルの神彼等の父の神われらの間を鞫きたまへとヤコブ乃ちその父イサクの畏む者をさして誓へり
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread, and tarried all night on the mountain.
斯てヤコブ山にて犧牲をささげその兄弟を招きてパンを食しむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.
ラバン朝蚤に起き其孫と女に接吻して之を祝せりしかしてラバンゆきて其所にかへりぬ
