Genesis 26
1 Now there was another famine in the land, subsequent to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines at Gerar.
アブラハムの時にありし最初の饑饉の外に又其國に饑饉ありければイサク、ゲラルに往てペリシテ人の王アビメレクの許にいたれり
2 The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt. Settle in the land where I tell you.
時にヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるはエジプトに下るなかれ吾汝に示すところの地にをれ
3 Stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.
汝此地にとどまれ我汝と共にありて汝を祝まん我是等の國を盡く汝および汝の子孫に與へ汝の父アブラハムに誓ひたる誓言を行ふべし
4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,
われ汝の子孫を増て天の星のごとくなし汝の子孫に凡て是等の國を與へん汝の子孫によりて天下の國民皆福祉を獲べし
5 because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
是はアブラハムわが言に順ひわが職守とわが誡命とわが憲法とわが律法を守りしに因てなり
6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
イサク乃ちゲラルに居しが
7 But when the men of that place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” since he thought to himself, “The men of this place will kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is so beautiful.”
處の人其妻の事をとへば我妹なりと言ふリベカは觀に美麗かりければ其處の人リベカの故をもて我を殺さんと謂て彼をわが妻と言をおそれたるなり
8 When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
イサク久しく彼處にをりし後一日ペリシテ人の王アビメレク牖より望みてイサクが其妻リベカと嬉戲るを見たり
9 Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac replied, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”
是に於てアビメレク、イサクを召て言けるは彼は必ず汝の妻なり汝なんぞ吾妹といひしやイサク彼に言けるは恐くは我彼のために死るならんと思たればなり
10 “What is this you have done to us?” asked Abimelech. “One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
アビメレクいひけるは汝なんぞ此事を我等になすや民の一人もし輕々しく汝の妻と寢ることあらんその時は汝罪を我等に蒙らしめんと
11 So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
アビメレク乃ちすべて民に皆命じて此人と其妻にさはるものは必ず死すべしと言り
12 Now Isaac sowed seed in the land, and that very year he reaped a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,
イサク彼地に種播て其年に百倍を獲たりヱホバ彼を祝みたまふ
13 and he became richer and richer, until he was exceedingly wealthy.
其人大になりゆきて進て盛になり遂に甚だ大なる者となれり
14 He owned so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.
即ち羊と牛と僕從を多く有しかばペリシテ人彼を嫉みたり
15 So the Philistines took dirt and stopped up all the wells that his father’s servants had dug in the days of his father Abraham.
其父アブラハムの世に其父の僕從が掘たる諸の井はペリシテ人之をふさぎて土を之にみてたり
16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Depart from us, for you are much too powerful for us.”
茲にアビメレク、イサクに言けるは汝は大に我等よりも強大ければ我等をはなれて去れと
17 So Isaac left that place and encamped in the Valley of Gerar and settled there.
イサク乃ち彼處をさりてゲラルの谷に天幕を張て其處に住り
18 Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. And he gave these wells the same names his father had given them.
其父アブラハムの世に掘たる水井をイサク茲に復び鑿り其はアブラハムの死たる後ペリシテ人之を塞ぎたればなり斯してイサク其父が之に名けたる名をもて其名となせり
19 Then Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water there.
イサクの僕谷に掘て其處に泉の湧出る井を得たり
20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen and said, “The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.
ゲラルの牧者此水は我儕の所屬なりといひてイサクの僕と爭ひければイサク其井の名をエセク（競爭）と名けたり彼等が己と之を競爭たるによりてなり
21 Then they dug another well and quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
是に於て又他の井を鑿しが彼等是をも爭ひければ其名をシテナ（敵）となづけたり
22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. He named it Rehoboth and said, “At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land.”
イサク乃ち彼處より遷りて他の井を鑿けるが彼等之をあらそはざりければ其名をレホボテ（廣塲）と名けて言けるは今ヱホバ我等の處所を廣くしたまへり我等此地を繁衍ん
23 From there Isaac went up to Beersheba,
斯て彼其處よりベエルシバにのぼりしが
24 and that night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.”
其夜ヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるは我は汝の父アブラハムの神なり懼るるなかれ我汝と偕にありて汝を祝み我僕アブラハムのために汝の子孫を増んと
25 So Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there. His servants also dug a well there.
是に於て彼處に壇を築きてヱホバの名を龥び天幕を彼處に張り彼處にてイサクの僕井を鑿り
26 Later, Abimelech came to Isaac from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
茲にアビメレク其友アホザテ及び其軍勢の長ピコルと共にゲラルよりイサクの許に來りければ
27 “Why have you come to me?” Isaac asked them. “You hated me and sent me away.”
イサク彼等に言ふ汝等は我を惡み我をして汝等をはなれて去らしめたるなるに何ぞ我許に來るや
28 “We can plainly see that the LORD has been with you,” they replied. “We recommend that there should now be an oath between us and you. Let us make a covenant with you
彼等いひけるは我等確然にヱホバが汝と偕にあるを見たれば我等の間即ち我等と汝の間に誓詞を立て汝と契約を結ばんと謂へり
29 that you will not harm us, just as we have not harmed you but have done only good to you, sending you on your way in peace. And now you are blessed by the LORD.”
汝我等に惡事をなすなかれ其は我等は汝を害せず只善事のみを汝になし且汝を安然に去しめたればなり汝はヱホバの祝みたまふ者なり
30 So Isaac prepared a feast for them, and they ate and drank.
イサク乃ち彼等のために酒宴を設けたれば彼等食ひ且飮り
31 And they got up early the next morning and swore an oath to each other. Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.
斯て朝夙に起て互に相誓へり而してイサク彼等を去しめたれば彼等イサクをはなれて安然にかへりぬ
32 On that same day, Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. “We have found water!” they told him.
其日イサクの僕來りて其ほりたる井につきて之に告て我等水を得たりといへり
33 So he called it Shibah, and to this day the name of the city is Beersheba.
即ち之をシバとなづく此故に其邑の名は今日までベエルシバ（誓詞の井）といふ
34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as his wives Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite and Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite.
エサウ四十歳の時ヘテ人の女ユデテとヘテ人エロンの女バスマテを妻に娶り
35 And they brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
彼等はイサクとリベカの心の愁煩となれり
