Genesis 31
1 Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
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 saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
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 Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
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 So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
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 he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; 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 You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
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 although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm 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, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
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 your father’s livestock and given them to me.
斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に輿へたまへり
10 When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
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 In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘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 ‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
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 you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
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で汝の親族の國に歸れと
14 And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left 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産業あらんや
15 Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
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 Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
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 got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
18 and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in 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る所の其父イサクの所におもむけり
19 Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
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 Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
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 his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country 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 On the third day Laban was informed 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 So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country 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 But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything 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 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
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 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
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 you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
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 But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
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 I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything 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 Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you 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 “I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your 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 If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
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 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered 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 Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
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 Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
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 Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應へ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 You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
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 I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
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雄綿羊は我食はざりき
39 I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or 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 As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and 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 Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you 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 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
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 But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children 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 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
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 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as 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 he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
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 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and 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 Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place 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 It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
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 you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”
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 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
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 mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.
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 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So 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 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the 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はしむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり
55 Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
ラバン朝夙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
