Genesis 18
1 And God appeared to him by the oak of Mambre, as he sat by the door of his tent at noon.
ヱホバ、マムレの橡林にてアブラハムに顯現たまへり彼は日の熱き時刻天幕の入口に坐しゐたりしが
2 And he lifted up his eyes and beheld, and lo! three men stood before him; and having seen them he ran to meet them from the door of his tent, and did obeisance to the ground.
目を擧て見たるに視よ三人の人其前に立り彼見て天幕の入口より趨り行て之を迎へ
3 And he said, Lord, if indeed I have found grace in thy sight, pass not by thy servant.
身を地に鞠めて言けるは我が主よ我若汝の目のまへに恩を得たるならば請ふ僕を通り過すなかれ
4 Let water now be brought, and let them wash your feet, and do ye refresh [yourselves] under the tree.
請ふ少許の水を取きたらしめ汝等の足を濯ひて樹の下に休憇たまへ
5 And I will bring bread, and ye shall eat, and after this ye shall depart on your journey, on account of which [refreshment] ye have turned aside to your servant. And he said, So do, as thou hast said.
我一口のパンを取來らん汝等心を慰めて然る後過ゆくべし汝等僕の所に來ればなり彼等言ふ汝が言るごとく爲せ
6 And Abraam hasted to the tent to Sarrha, and said to her, Hasten, and knead three measures of fine flour, and make cakes.
是においてアブラハム天幕に急ぎいりてサラの許に至りて言けるは速に細麺三セヤを取り捏てパンを作るべしと
7 And Abraam ran to the kine, and took a young calf, tender and good, and gave it to his servant, and he hasted to dress it.
而してアブラハム牛の群に趨ゆき犢の柔にして善き者を取りきたりて少者に付しければ急ぎて之を調理ふ
8 And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed; and he set them before them, and they did eat, and he stood by them under the tree.
かくてアブラハム牛酪と牛乳および其調理へたる犢を取て彼等のまへに供へ樹の下にて其側に立り彼等乃ち食へり
9 And he said to him, Where is Sarrha thy wife? And he answered and said, Behold! in the tent.
彼等アブラハムに言けるは爾の妻サラは何處にあるや彼言ふ天幕にあり
10 And he said, I will return and come to thee according to this period seasonably, and Sarrha thy wife shall have a son; and Sarrha heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.
其一人言ふ明年の今頃我必ず爾に返るべし爾の妻サラに男子あらんサラ其後なる天幕の入口にありて聞ゐたり
11 And Abraam and Sarrha were old, advanced in days, and the custom of women ceased with Sarrha.
抑アブラハムとサラは年邁み老いたる者にしてサラには婦人の常の經已に息たり
12 And Sarrha laughed in herself, saying, The thing has not as yet happened to me, even until now, and my lord is old.
是故にサラ心に哂ひて言けるは我は老衰へ吾が主も亦老たる後なれば我に樂あるべけんや
13 And the Lord said to Abraam, Why is it that Sarrha has laughed in herself, saying, Shall I then indeed bear? but I am grown old.
ヱホバ、アブラハムに言たまひけるは何故にサラは哂ひて我老たれば果して子を生ことあらんと言ふや
14 Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarrha shall have a son.
ヱホバに豈爲し難き事あらんや時至らば我定めたる期に爾に歸るべしサラに男子あらんと
15 But Sarrha denied, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And he said to her, Nay, but thou didst laugh.
サラ懼れたれば承ずして我哂はずと言へりヱホバ言たまひけるは否汝哂へるなり
16 And the men having risen up from thence looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha. And Abraam went with them, attending them on their journey.
斯て其人々彼處より起てソドムの方を望みければアブラハム彼等を送らんとて倶に行り
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraam my servant what things I intend to do?
ヱホバ言ひ給けるは我爲んとする事をアブラハムに隱すべけんや
18 But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.
アブラハムは必ず大なる強き國民となりて天下の民皆彼に由て福を獲に至るべきに在ずや
19 For I know that he will order his sons, and his house after him, and they will keep the ways of the Lord, to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraam all things whatsoever he has spoken to him.
其は我彼をして其後の兒孫と家族とに命じヱホバの道を守りて公儀と公道を行しめん爲に彼をしれり是ヱホバ、アブラハムに其曾て彼に就て言し事を行はん爲なり
20 And the Lord said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrha has been increased towards me, and their sins are very great.
ヱホバ又言給ふソドムとゴモラの號呼大なるに因り又其罪甚だ重に因て
21 I will therefore go down and see, if they completely correspond with the cry which comes to me, and if not, that I may know.
我今下りて其號呼の我に逹れる如くかれら全く行ひたりしやを見んとす若しからずば我知るに至らんと
22 And the men having departed thence, came to Sodom; and Abraam was still standing before the Lord.
其人々其處より身を旋してソドムに赴むけりアブラハムは尚ほヱホバのまへに立り
23 And Abraam drew nigh and said, Wouldest thou destroy the righteous with the wicked, and shall the righteous be as the wicked?
アブラハム近よりて言けるは爾は義者をも惡者と倶に滅ぼしたまふや
24 Should there be fifty righteous in the city, wilt thou destroy them? wilt thou not spare the whole place for the sake of the fifty righteous, if they be in it?
若邑の中に五十人の義者あるも汝尚ほ其處を滅ぼし其中の五十人の義者のためにこれを恕したまはざるや
25 By no means shalt thou do as this thing [is] so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not do right?
なんぢ斯の如く爲て義者と惡者と倶に殺すが如きは是あるまじき事なり又義者と惡者を均等するが如きもあるまじき事なり天下を鞫く者は公儀を行ふ可にあらずや
26 And the Lord said, If there should be in Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole city, and the whole place for their sakes.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我若ソドムに於て邑の中に五十人の義者を看ば其人々のために其處を盡く恕さん
27 And Abraam answered and said, Now I have begun to speak to my Lord, and I am earth and ashes.
アブラハム應へていひけるは我は塵と灰なれども敢て我主に言上す
28 But if the fifty righteous should be diminished to forty-five, wilt thou destroy the whole city because of the five [wanting]? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there forty-five.
若五十人の義者の中五人缺たらんに爾五人の缺たるために邑を盡く滅ぼしたまふやヱホバ言たまひけるは我若彼處に四十五人を看ば滅さざるべし
29 And he continued to speak to him still, and said, But if there should be found there forty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the forty's sake.
アブラハム又重ねてヱホバに言上して曰けるは若彼處に四十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我四十人のために之をなさじ
30 And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I shall speak? but if there be found there thirty? And he said, I will not destroy it for the thirty's sake.
アブラハム曰ひけるは請ふわが主よ怒らずして言しめたまへ若彼處に三十人看えなば如何ヱホバいひたまふ我三十人を彼處に看ば之を爲じ
31 And he said, Since I am able to speak to the Lord, what if there should be found there twenty? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I should find there twenty.
アブラハム言ふ我あへてわが主に言上す若彼處に二十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我二十人のためにほろぼさじ
32 And he said, Will there be anything [against me], Lord, if I speak yet once? but if there should be found there ten? And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten's sake.
アブラハム言ふ請ふわが主怒らずして今一度言しめたまへ若かしこに十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我十人のためにほろぼさじ
33 And the Lord departed, when he left off speaking to Abraam, and Abraam returned to his place.
ヱホバ、アブラハムと言ふことを終てゆきたまへりアブラハムおのれの所にかへりぬ
