Genesis 31
1 But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous.”
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 Likewise, he observed that Laban’s face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day 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 Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, 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 He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks,
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: “I see that your father’s face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day before. 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 know that I have served your father with all my strength.
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 Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me.
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 Whenever he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ all the sheep gave birth to speckled newborns. Yet truly, when he said the contrary, ‘You will take whatever is white for your wages,’ all the flocks gave birth to white ones.
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 And it is God who has taken your father’s substance and given it to me.
斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に與へたまへり
10 For after the time had arrived for the ewes to conceive, I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in my sleep that the males climbing on the females were of variegated, and spotted, and diverse colors.
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 the Angel of God said to me in my sleep, ‘Jacob.’ And I responded, ‘Here I am.’
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: ‘Lift up your eyes, and see that all the males climbing on the females are variegated, spotted, and also speckled. For I have seen all that 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 Bethel, where you anointed the stone and made a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and depart from this land, returning to the land of your nativity.’”
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 And Rachel and Leah responded: “Have we anything left behind among the resources and inheritance of 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 Has he not considered us as foreigners, and sold us, and consumed our price?
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 But God has taken our father’s riches and handed these to us and to our sons. Therefore, do all that God has instructed you.”
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 And so Jacob rose up, and having placed the children and his wives upon camels, he went forth.
是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
18 And he took all his substance and flocks, and whatever he had acquired in Mesopotamia, and he journeyed to his father Isaac, 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 At that time, Laban had gone to shear the sheep, and so Rachel stole her father’s idols.
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 was not willing to confess to his father-in-law that he was fleeing.
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 And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount 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 it was reported to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
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 his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days. And he overtook him at Mount 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 And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, “Beware that you not speak anything harsh against 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 And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount 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 he said to Jacob: “Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?
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 would you want to flee without my knowledge and without telling me, though I might have led you forward with gladness, and songs, and timbrels, and lyres?
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 have not permitted me to kiss my sons and daughters. You have acted foolishly. And now, indeed,
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 my hand has power to repay you with harm. But the God of your father said to me yesterday, ‘Beware that you not speak anything stern against 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 It may be that you desired to go to your own, and that you longed for the house of your father. But why have you stolen 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 Jacob answered: “I set out, unknown to you, because I feared that you might take away your daughters by violence.
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 But, since you accuse me of theft, with whomever you will find your gods, let him be slain in the sight of our brothers. Search; anything of yours that you will find with me, take it away.” Now when he said this, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
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 And so Laban, entering the tent of Jacob, and of Leah, and of both the handmaids, did not find them. And when he had entered the tent of Rachel,
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 she quickly hid the idols under the camel’s bedding, and she sat upon them. And when he had searched the entire tent and found nothing,
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 she said: “Do not be angry, my lord, that I am unable to rise up in your sight, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women.” So his careful search was thwarted.
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 And Jacob, being inflated, said with contention: “For which fault of mine, or for what sin of mine, have you become so enraged against me
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 and searched all the items of my house? What have you found from all the substance of your house? Place it here before my brothers, and your brothers, and let them judge between me and you.
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 For what reason have I been with you for twenty years? Your ewes and she-goats were not barren; the rams of your flocks I did not consume.
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 Neither did I reveal to you what was seized by the wild beast. I replaced all that was damaged. Whatever was lost by theft, you collected it from me.
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 Day and night, I was burned by heat and by frost, and sleep fled 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 And in this way, for twenty years, I have served you in your house: fourteen for your daughters, and six for your flocks. You have also changed my wages ten times.
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 Abraham and the fear of Isaac had not been close to me, perhaps by now you would have sent me away naked. But God looked kindly on my affliction and the labor of my hands, and he rebuked you yesterday.”
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 Laban answered him: “My daughters and sons, and your flocks, and all that you discern are mine. What can I do to my sons and grandchildren?
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, therefore, let us enter into a pact, so that it may be a testimony between me and you.”
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 And so Jacob took a stone, and he set it up as a memorial.
是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり
46 And he said to his brothers, “Bring stones.” And they, gathering together stones, made a tomb, and they ate upon it.
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 Laban called it, ‘Tomb of Witness,’ and Jacob, ‘Pile of Testimony;’ each of them according to the fitness of his own language.
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: “This tomb will be a witness between me and you this day.” (And for this reason, its name has been called Gilead, that is, ‘Tomb of Witness.’)
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 “May the Lord consider and judge between us, when we will have withdrawn from one another.
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 afflict my daughters, and if you bring in other wives over them, no one is a witness of our words except God, who understands beforehand.”
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 again he said to Jacob. “Lo, this tomb and the stone that I have set up between me and you,
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 will be a witness. This tomb,” I say, “and the stone, they are for testimony, in case either I cross beyond it going toward you, or you cross beyond it thinking to harm me.
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, judge between us.” Therefore, Jacob swore 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 after he had immolated sacrifices on the mountain, he called his brothers to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there.
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 In truth, Laban rose up in the night, and he kissed his sons and daughters, and he blessed them. And he returned to his place.
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
