Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
ラケル己がヤコブに子を生ざるを見て其姉を夢みヤコブに言けるは我に子を與へよ然らずば我死んと
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
ヤコブ、ラケルにむかひて怒を發して言ふ汝の胎に子をやどらしめざる者は神なり我神に代るをえんや
3 Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
ラケルいふ吾婢ビルハを視よ彼の處に入れ彼子を生てわが膝に置ん然ば我もまた彼によりて子をうるにいたらんと
4 So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
其仕女ビルハを彼にあたへて妻となさしめたりヤコブ即ち彼の處にいる
5 and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
ビルハ遂にはらみてヤコブに子を生ければ
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
ラケルいひけるは神我を監み亦わが聲を聽いれて吾に子をたまへりと是によりて其名をダンと名けたり
7 And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
ラケルの仕女ビルハ再び姙みて次の子をヤコブに生ければ
8 Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
ラケル我神の爭をもて姉と爭ひて勝ぬといひて其名をナフタリと名けたり
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
茲にレア産ことの止たるを見しかば其仕女ジルパをとりて之をヤコブにあたへて妻となさしむ
10 And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
レアの仕女ジルパ、ヤコブに子を産ければ
11 Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
レア福來れりといひて其名をガドと名けたり
12 When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
レアの仕女ジルパ次子をヤコブに生ければ
13 Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
レアいふ我は幸なり女等我を幸なる者となさんと其名をアセルとなづけたり
14 Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
茲に麥苅の日にルベン出ゆきて野にて戀茄を獲これを母レアの許にもちきたりければラケル、レアにいひけるは請ふ我に汝の子の戀茄をあたへよ
15 But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
レア彼にいひけるは汝のわが夫を奪しは微き事ならんや然るに汝またわが子の戀茄をも奪んとするやラケルいふ然ば汝の子の戀茄のために夫是夜汝と寢べし
16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
晩におよびてヤコブ野より來りければレア之をいでむかへて言けるは我誠にわが子の戀茄をもて汝を雇ひたれば汝我の所にいらざるべからずヤコブ即ち夜彼といねたり
17 And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
神レアに聽たまひければ彼妊みて第五の子をヤコブに生り
18 Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
レアいひけるは我わが仕女を夫に與へたれば神我に其値をたまへりと其名をイツサカルと名けたり
19 Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
レア復妊みて第六の子をヤコブに生り
20 “God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
レアいひけるは神我に嘉賚を貺ふ我六人の男子を生たれば夫今より我と偕にすまんと其名をゼブルンとなづけたり
21 After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
其後彼女子を生み其名をデナと名けたり
22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
茲に神ラケルを念ひ神彼に聽て其胎を開きたまひければ
23 and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
彼妊みて男子を生て曰ふ神わが恥辱を洒ぎたまへりと
24 She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
乃ち其名をヨセフと名けて言ふヱホバ又他の子を我に加へたまはん
25 Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
茲にラケルのヨセフを生むに及びてヤコブ、ラバンに言けるは我を歸して故郷に我國に往しめよ
26 Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
わが汝に事て得たる所の妻子を我に與へて我を去しめよわが汝になしたる役事は汝之を知るなり
27 But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
ラバン彼にいひけるは若なんぢの意にかなはばねがはくは留れ我ヱホバが汝のために我を祝みしを卜ひ得たり
28 And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
又言ふ汝の望む値をのべよ我之を與ふべし
29 Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
ヤコブ彼にいひけるは汝は如何にわが汝に事へしか如何に汝の家畜を牧しかを知る
30 Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
わが來れる前に汝の有たる者は鮮少なりしが増て遂に群をなすに至る吾來りてよりヱホバ汝を祝みたまへり然ども我は何時吾家を成にいたらんや
31 “What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
彼言ふ我何を汝に與へんかヤコブいひけるは汝何者をも我に與ふるに及ばず汝もし此事を我になさば我復汝の群を牧守らん
32 Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
即ち我今日徧く汝の群をゆきめぐりて其中より凡て斑なる者點なる者を移し綿羊の中の凡て黒き者を移し山羊の中の點なる者と斑なる者を移さん是わが値なるべし
33 So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
後に汝來りてわが傭値をしらぶる時わが義我にかはりて應をなすべし若わが所に山羊の斑ならざる者點ならざる者あり綿羊の黒からざる者あらば皆盜る者となすべし
34 “Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
ラバンいふ汝の言の如くなさんことを願ふ
35 That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
是に於て彼其日牡山羊の斑入なる者斑點なる者を移し凡て牝山羊の斑駮なる者斑點なる者都て身に白色ある者を移し又綿羊の中の凡て黒き者を移して其子等の手に付せり
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
而して彼己とヤコブの間に三日程の隔をたてたりヤコブはラバンの餘の群を牧ふ
37 Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
茲にヤコブ楊柳と楓と桑の青枝を執り皮を剥て白紋理を成り枝の白き所をあらはし
38 Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
其皮をはぎたる枝を群の來りて飮むところの水槽と水鉢に立て群に向はしめ群をして水のみの來る時に孕ましむ
39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
群すなはち枝の前に孕みて斑入の者斑駮なる者斑點なる者を産しかば
40 Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
ヤコブ其羔羊を區分ちラバンの群の面を其群の斑入なる者と黒き者に對はしめたりしが己の群をば一所に置てラバンの群の中にいれざりき
41 Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
又家畜の壯健き者孕みたる時はヤコブ水槽の中にて其家畜の目の前に彼枝を置き枝の傍において孕ましむ
42 But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
然ど家畜の羸弱かる時は之を置ず是に因て羸弱者はラバンのとなり壯健者はヤコブのとなれり
43 Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
是に於て其人大に富饒になりて多の家畜と婢僕および駱駝驢馬を有にいたれり
