Genesis 50
1 Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.
ヨセフ父の面に俯し之をいだきて哭き之に接吻す
2 And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,
而してヨセフその僕なる醫者に命じてその父に釁らしむ醫者イスラエルに釁れり
3 taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
すなはち之がために四十日を用ふ其は尸に釁るにはこの日數を用ふべければなりエジプト人七十日の間之がために哭けり
4 When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please tell Pharaoh that
哀哭の日すぎし時ヨセフ、パロの家にかたりていひけるは我もし汝等の前に恩惠を得るならば請ふパロの耳にまうして言へ
5 my father made me swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father, and then return.”
わが父我死ばカナンの地にわが掘おきたる墓に我をはうむれといひて我を誓はしめたり然ば請ふわれをして上りて父を葬らしめたまへまた歸りきたらんと
6 Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
パロいひけるは汝の父汝をちかはせしごとくのぼりて之を葬るべし
7 Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied him—the elders of Pharaoh’s household and all the elders of the land of Egypt—
是に於てヨセフ父を葬らんとて上るパロの諸の臣パロの家の長老等エジプトの地の長老等
8 along with all of Joseph’s household, and his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen.
およびヨセフの全家とその兄弟等およびその父の家之とともに上る只その子女と羊と牛はゴセンの地にのこせり
9 Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.
また車と騎兵ヨセフにしたがひてのぼり其隊ははなはだ大なりき
10 When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wailed loudly, and Joseph mourned for his father seven days.
彼等つひにヨルダンの外なるアタデの禾場に到り彼にて大に泣き痛く哀しむヨセフすなはち七日父のために哭きぬ
11 When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.
その國の居人なるカナン人等アタデの禾場の哀哭を見て是はエジプト人の痛くなげくなりといへり是によりて其處の名をアベルミツライム（エジプト人の哀哭）と稱ふヨルダンの外にあり
12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.
ヤコブの子等その命ぜられたるごとく之になせり
13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
すなはちヤコブの子等彼をカナンの地に舁ゆきて之をマクペラの田の洞穴にはうむれり是はアブラハムがヘテ人エフロンより田とともに購とりて所有の墓所となせし者にてマムレの前にあり
14 After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.
ヨセフ父を葬りてのち其兄弟および凡て己とともにのぼりて父をはうむれる者とともにエジプトにかへりぬ
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge? Then he will surely repay us for all the evil that we did to him.”
ヨセフの兄弟等その父の死たるを見ていひけるはヨセフあるいはわれらを恨むることあらん又かならずわれらが彼になしたる諸の惡にむくゆるならんと
16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,
すなはちヨセフにいひおくりけるはなんぢの父死るまへに命じて言けらく
17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
汝ら斯ヨセフにいふべし汝の兄弟汝に惡をなしたれども冀はくはその罪咎をゆるせと然ば請ふ汝の父の神の僕等の咎をゆるせとヨセフその言を聞て啼泣り
18 His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”
兄弟等もまた自らきたりヨセフの面の前に俯し我儕は汝の僕とならんといふ
19 But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
ヨセフかれらに曰けるは懼るなかれ我あに神にかはらんや
20 As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.
汝等は我を害せんとおもひたれども神はそれを善にかはらせ今日のごとく多の民の生命を救ふにいたらしめんとおもひたまへり
21 Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.
故に汝らおそるるなかれ我なんぢらと汝らの子女をやしなはんと彼等をなぐさめ懇に之にかたれり
22 Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.
ヨセフ父の家族とともにエジプトにすめりヨセフは百十歳いきながらへたり
23 He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
ヨセフ、エフライムの三世の子女をみるにいたれりマナセの子マキルの子マキルの子女もうまれてヨセフの膝にありき
24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
ヨセフその兄弟等にいひけるは我死ん神かならず汝等を眷顧みなんぢらを此地よりいだしてそのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひし地にいたらしめたまはんと
25 And Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”
ヨセフ神かならず汝等をかへりみたまはん汝らわが骨をここよりたづさへのぼるべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を誓はしむ
26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
ヨセフ百十歳にして死たれば之に釁りて櫃にをさめてエジプトにおけり
