Genesis 46
1 And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.
イスラエルはその持ち物をことごとく携えて旅立ち、ベエルシバに行って、父イサクの神に犠牲をささげた。
2 And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
この時、神は夜の幻のうちにイスラエルに語って言われた、「ヤコブよ、ヤコブよ」。彼は言った、「ここにいます」。
3 And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:
神は言われた、「わたしは神、あなたの父の神である。エジプトに下るのを恐れてはならない。わたしはあそこであなたを大いなる国民にする。
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.
わたしはあなたと一緒にエジプトに下り、また必ずあなたを導き上るであろう。ヨセフが手ずからあなたの目を閉じるであろう」。
5 Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.
そしてヤコブはベエルシバを立った。イスラエルの子らはヤコブを乗せるためにパロの送った車に、父ヤコブと幼な子たちと妻たちを乗せ、
6 And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:
またその家畜とカナンの地で得た財産を携え、ヤコブとその子孫は皆ともにエジプトへ行った。
7 His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.
こうしてヤコブはその子と、孫および娘と孫娘などその子孫をみな連れて、エジプトへ行った。
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;

11 And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;
レビの子らはゲルション、コハテ、メラリ。
12 And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

イッサカルの子らはトラ、プワ、ヨブ、シムロン。
14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel;
ゼブルンの子らはセレデ、エロン、ヤリエル。
15 All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.
これらと娘デナとはレアがパダンアラムでヤコブに産んだ子らである。その子らと娘らは合わせて三十三人。
16 And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli;

18 These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah, and Jacob had these sixteen children by her.
これらはラバンが娘レアに与えたジルパの子らである。彼女はこれらをヤコブに産んだ。合わせて十六人。
19 The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
ヤコブの妻ラケルの子らはヨセフとベニヤミンとである。
20 And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.
エジプトの国でヨセフにマナセとエフライムとが生れた。これはオンの祭司ポテペラの娘アセナテが彼に産んだ者である。
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.

25 These were the children of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, seven persons.

26 All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.
ヤコブと共にエジプトへ行ったすべての者、すなわち彼の身から出た者はヤコブの子らの妻をのぞいて、合わせて六十六人であった。
27 And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.
エジプトでヨセフに生れた子がふたりあった。エジプトへ行ったヤコブの家の者は合わせて七十人であった。
28 Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.
さてヤコブはユダをさきにヨセフにつかわして、ゴセンで会おうと言わせた。そして彼らはゴセンの地へ行った。
29 And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.
ヨセフは車を整えて、父イスラエルを迎えるためにゴセンに上り、父に会い、そのくびを抱き、くびをかかえて久しく泣いた。
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.
時に、イスラエルはヨセフに言った、「あなたがなお生きていて、わたしはあなたの顔を見たので今は死んでもよい」。
31 And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;
ヨセフは兄弟たちと父の家族とに言った、「わたしは上ってパロに言おう、『カナンの地にいたわたしの兄弟たちと父の家族とがわたしの所へきました。
32 And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.
この者らは羊を飼う者、家畜の牧者で、その羊、牛および持ち物をみな携えてきました』。
33 Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?
もしパロがあなたがたを召して、『あなたがたの職業は何か』と言われたら、
34 You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
『しもべらは幼い時から、ずっと家畜の牧者です。われわれも、われわれの先祖もそうです』と言いなさい。そうすればあなたがたはゴセンの地に住むことができましょう。羊飼はすべて、エジプトびとの忌む者だからです」。
