Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey till he came to the land of the children of the East.
斯てヤコブ其途にすすみて東の民の地にいたりて
2 And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.
見るに野に井ありて羊の群三其傍に臥ゐたり此井より群に飮へばなり大なる石井の口にあり
3 And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.
羊の群皆其處に集る時に井の口より石をまろばして羊に水飼ひ復故のごとく井の口に石をのせおくなり
4 Then Jacob said to the herdmen, My brothers, where do you come from? And they said, From Haran.
ヤコブ人々に言けるは兄弟よ奚よりきたれるや彼等いふ我等はハランより來る
5 And he said to them, Have you any knowledge of Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, We have.
ヤコブ彼等にいひけるは汝等ナホルの子ラバンをしるや彼等識といふ
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.
ヤコブ又かれらにいひけるは彼は安きや彼等いふ安し視よ彼の女ラケル羊と偕に來ると
7 Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.
ヤコブ言ふ視よ日尚高し家畜を聚むべき時にあらず羊に飮ひて往て牧せよ
8 And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.
彼等いふ我等しかする能はず群の皆聚るに及て井の口より石をまろばして羊に飮ふべきなり
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.
ヤコブ尚彼等と語れる時にラケル父の羊とともに來る其は之を牧居たればなり
10 Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.
ヤコブ其母の兄ラバンの女ラケルおよび其母の兄ラバンの羊を見しかばヤコブ進みよりて井の口より石をまろばし母の兄ラバンの羊に飮ひたり
11 And weeping for joy, Jacob gave Rachel a kiss.
而してヤコブ、ラケルに接吻して聲をあげて啼哭ぬ
12 And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.
即ちヤコブ、ラケルに己はその父の兄弟にしてリベカの子なることを告ければ彼はしりゆきて父に告たり
13 And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.
ラバン其妹の子ヤコブの事を聞しかば趨ゆきて之を迎へ之を抱きて接吻し之を家に導きいたれりヤコブすなはち此等の事を悉くラバンに述たり
14 And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.
ラバン彼にいひけるは汝は誠にわが骨肉なりとヤコブ一月の間彼とともに居る
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?
茲にラバン、ヤコブにいひけるは汝はわが兄弟なればとて空く我に役事べけんや何の報酬を望むや我に告よ
16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
ラバン二人の女子を有り姉の名はレアといひ妹の名はラケルといふ
17 And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.
レアは目弱かりしがラケルは美くして姝し
18 And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.
ヤコブ、ラケルを愛したれば言ふ我汝の季女ラケルのために七年汝に事ん
19 And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.
ラバンいひけるは彼を他の人にあたふるよりも汝にあたふるは善し我と偕に居れ
20 And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.
ヤコブ七年の間ラケルのために勤たりしが彼を愛するが爲に此を數日の如く見做り
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.
茲にヤコブ、ラバンに言けるはわが期滿たればわが妻をあたへて我をしてかれの處にいることを得せしめよ
22 And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.
是に於てラバン處の人を盡く集めて酒宴を設けたりしが
23 And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.
晩に及びて其女レアを携へて此をヤコブにつれ來れりヤコブ即ち彼の處にいりぬ
24 And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.
ラバンまた其侍婢ジルパを娘レアに與へて侍婢となさしめたり
25 And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?
朝にいたりて見るにレアなりしかばヤコブ、ラバンに言けるは汝なんぞ此事を我になしたるや我ラケルのために汝に役事しにあらずや汝なんぞ我を欺くや
26 And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.
ラバンいひけるは姉より先に妹を嫁しむる事は我國にて爲ざるところなり
27 Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.
其七日を過せ我等是をも汝に與へん然ば汝是がために尚七年我に事へて勤むべし
28 And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.
ヤコブ即ち斯なして其七日をすごせしかばラバン其女ラケルをも之にあたへて妻となさしむ
29 And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.
またラバン其侍婢ビルハを女ラケルにあたへて侍婢となさしむ
30 Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.
ヤコブまたラケルの所にいりぬ彼レアよりもラケルを愛し尚七年ラバンに事たり
31 Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.
ヱホバ、レアの嫌るるを見て其胎をひらきたまへり然どラケルは姙なきものなりき
32 And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.
レア孕みて子を生み其名をルベンと名けていひけるはヱホバ誠にわが艱苦を顧みたまへりされば今夫我を愛せんと
33 Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.
彼ふたたび孕みて子を產みヱホバわが嫌るるを聞たまひしによりて我に是をもたまへりと言て其名をシメオンと名けたり
34 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.
彼また孕みて子を生み我三人の子を生たれば夫今より我に膠漆んといへり是によりて其名をレビと名けたり
35 And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.
彼復姙みて子を生み我今ヱホバを讚美んといへり是によりて其名をユダと名けたり是にいたりて產ことやみぬ
