Genesis 31
1 Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.
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 that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.
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 relations, 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 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.
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 said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; 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 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
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 But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
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, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.
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 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に與へたまへり
10 And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.
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 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
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 And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what 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 Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.
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て汝の親族の國に歸れと
14 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us 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產業あらんや
15 Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.
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 For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.
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 put his wives and his sons on camels;
是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
18 And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of 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所の其父イサクの所におもむけり
19 Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.
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 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
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 went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of 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 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
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 And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him 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 Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
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 when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.
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 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners 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 make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?
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 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.
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 It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
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 And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken 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 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might 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 As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.
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 and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.
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 the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.
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 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.
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 was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應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 Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between 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 These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.
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牡綿羊は我食はざりき
39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by 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 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went 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 These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.
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, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.
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 Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?
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, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
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 Then Jacob took a stone and put 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 Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
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 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of 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 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was 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 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.
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 are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.
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 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put 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 They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.
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, be our judge. Then Jacob took an oath 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 And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that 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しむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり
55 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.
ラバン朝蚤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
