Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the agents of God met him.
茲にヤコブその途に進みしが神の使者これにあふ
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
ヤコブこれを見て是は神の陣營なりといひてその處の名をマハナイム(二營)となづけたり
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
かくてヤコブ己より前に使者をつかはしてセイルの地エドムの野にをる其兄エサウの所にいたらしむ
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau, Thus says thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now.
即ち之に命じて言ふ汝等かくわが主エサウにいふべし汝の僕ヤコブ斯いふ我ラバンの所に寄寓て今までとどまれり
5 And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants. And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
我牛驢馬羊僕婢あり人をつかはしてわが主に告ぐ汝の前に恩をえんことを願ふなりと
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
使者ヤコブにかへりて言けるは我等汝の兄エサウの許に至れり彼四百人をしたがへて汝をむかへんとて來ると
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
是によりヤコブ大におそれ且くるしみ己とともにある人衆および羊と牛と駱駝を二隊にわかちて
8 And he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and smites it, then the company which is left shall escape.
言けるはエサウもし一の隊に來りて之をうたば遺れるところの一隊逃るべし
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who said to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,
ヤコブまた言けるはわが父アブラハムの神わが父イサクの神ヱホバよ汝甞て我につげて汝の國にかへり汝の親族に到れ我なんぢを善せんといひたまへり
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou have shown to thy servant, for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.
我はなんぢが僕にほどこしたまひし恩惠と眞實を一も受るにたらざるなり我わが杖のみを持てこのヨルダンを濟りしが今は二隊とも成にいたれり
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau. For I fear him, lest he comes and smites me, the mother with the sons.
願くはわが兄の手よりエサウの手より我をすくひいだしたまへ我彼をおそる恐くは彼きたりて我をうち母と子とに及ばん
12 And thou said, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
汝は甞て我かならず汝を惠み汝の子孫を濱の沙の多して數ふべからざるが如くなさんといひたまへりと
13 And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
彼その夜彼處に宿りその手にいりし物の中より兄エサウへの禮物をえらべり
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
即ち牝山羊二百牡山羊二十牝羊二百牡羊二十
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-donkeys and ten foals.
乳駱駝と其子三十牝牛四十牡牛十牝の驢馬二十驢馬の子十
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.
而して其群と群とをわかちて之を僕の手に授し僕にいひけるは吾に先ちて進み群と群との間を隔ておくべし
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose are thou? And where do thou go? And whose are these before thee?
又その前者に命じて言けるはわが兄エサウ汝にあひ汝に問て汝は誰の人にして何處にゆくや是汝のまへなる者は誰の所有なるやといはば
18 Then thou shall say, Thy servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And, behold, he also is behind us.
汝の僕ヤコブの所有にしてわが主エサウにたてまつる禮物なり視よ彼もわれらの後にをるといふべしと
19 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all who followed the herds, saying, On this manner shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him,
彼かく第二の者第三の者および凡て群々にしたがひゆく者に命じていふ汝等エサウにあふ時はかくの如く之にいふべし
20 and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.
且汝等いへ視よなんぢの僕ヤコブわれらの後にをるとヤコブおもへらく我わが前におくる禮物をもて彼を和めて然るのち其面を觀ん然ば彼われを接遇ることあらんと
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself lodged that night in the company.
是によりて禮物かれに先ちて行く彼は其夜陣營の中に宿りしが
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
其夜おきいでて二人の妻と二人の仕女および十一人の子を導きてヤボクの渡をわたれり
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
即ち彼等をみちびきて川を渉らしめ又その有る物を渡せり
24 And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
而してヤコブ一人遺りしが人ありて夜の明るまで之と角力す
25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained as he wrestled with him.
其人己のヤコブに勝ざるを見てヤコブの髀の樞骨に觸しかばヤコブの髀の樞骨其人と角力する時挫離たり
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.
其人夜明んとすれば我をさらしめよといひければヤコブいふ汝われを祝せずばさらしめずと
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
是に於て其人かれにいふ汝の名は何なるや彼いふヤコブなり
28 And he said, Thy name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for thou have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.
其人いひけるは汝の名は重てヤコブととなふべからずイスラエルととなふべし其は汝神と人とに力をあらそひて勝たればなりと
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why is it that thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there.
ヤコブ問て請ふ汝の名を告よといひければ其人何故にわが名をとふやといひて乃ち其處にて之を祝せり
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
是を以てヤコブその處の名をベニエル(神の面)となづけて曰ふ我面と面をあはせて神とあひ見てわが生命なほ存るなりと
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
斯て彼日のいづる時にベニエルを過たりしが其髀のために歩行はかどらざりき
32 Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.
是故にイスラエルの子孫は今日にいたるまで髀の樞の巨筋を食はず是彼人がヤコブの髀の巨筋に觸たるによりてなり
