Genesis 45
1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
茲にヨセフその側にたてる人々のまへに自ら禁ぶあたはざるに至りければ人皆われを離ていでよと呼はれり是をもてヨセフが己を兄弟にあかしたる時一人も之とともにたつものなかりき
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
ヨセフ聲をあげて泣りエジプト人これを聞きパロの家またこれを聞く
3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
ヨセフすなはちその兄弟にいひけるは我はヨセフなりわが父はなほ生ながらへをるやと兄弟等その前に愕き懼れて之にこたふるをえざりき
4 And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
ヨセフ兄弟にいひけるは請ふ我にちかよれとかれらすなはち近よりければ言ふ我はなんぢらの弟ヨセフなんぢらがエジプトにうりたる者なり
5 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
されど汝等我をここに賣しをもて憂ふるなかれ身を恨るなかれ神生命をすくはしめんとて我を汝等の前につかはしたまへるなり
6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
この二年のあひだ饑饉國の中にありしが尚五年の間耕すことも穫こともなかるべし
7 And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
神汝等の後を地につたへんため又大なる救をもて汝らの生命を救はんために我を汝等の前に遣したまへり
8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
然ば我を此につかはしたる者は汝等にはあらず神なり神われをもてパロの父となしその全家の主となしエジプト全國の宰となしたまへり
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
汝等いそぎ父の許にのぼりゆきて之にいへ汝の子ヨセフかく言ふ神われをエジプト全國の主となしたまへりわが所にくだれ遲疑なかれ
10 and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
汝ゴセンの地に住べし斯汝と汝の子と汝の子の子およびなんぢの羊と牛並に汝のすべて有ところの者われの近方にあるべし
11 And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
なほ五年の饑饉あるにより我其處にてなんぢを養はん恐くは汝となんぢの家族およびなんぢの凡て有ところの者匱乏ならん
12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
汝等の目とわが弟ベニヤミンの目の視るごとく汝等にこれをいふ者はわが口なり
13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
汝等わがエジプトにて亨る顯榮となんぢらが見たる所とを皆悉く父につげよ汝ら急ぎて父を此にみちびき下るべし
14 And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
而してヨセフその弟ベニヤミンの頸を抱へて哭にベニヤミンもヨセフの頸をかかへて哭く
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
ヨセフ亦その諸の兄弟に接吻し之をいだきて哭く是のち兄弟等ヨセフと言ふ
16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
茲にヨセフの兄弟等きたれりといふ聲パロの家にきこえければパロとその臣僕これを悦ぶ
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
パロすなはちヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟に言べし汝等かく爲せ汝等の畜に物を負せ往てカナンの地に至り
18 and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
なんぢらの父となんぢらの家族を携へて我にきたれ我なんぢらにエジプトの地の嘉物をあたへん汝等國の膏腴を食ふことをうべしと
19 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
今汝命をうく汝等かく爲せ汝等エジプトの地より車を取ゆきてなんぢらの子女と妻等を載せ汝等の父を導きて來れ
20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
また汝等の器を惜み視るなかれエジプト全國の嘉物は汝らの所屬なればなり
21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
イスラエルの子等すなはち斯なせりヨセフ、パロの命にしたがひて彼等に車をあたへかつ途の餱糧をかれらにあたへたり
22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
又かれらに皆おのおの衣一襲を與へたりしがベニヤミンには銀三百と衣五襲をあたへたり
23 And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
彼また斯のごとく父に餽れり即ち驢馬十疋にエジプトの嘉物をおはせ牝の驢馬十疋に父の途の用に供ふる穀物と糧と肉をおはせて餽れり
24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
斯して兄弟をかへして去しめ之にいふ汝等途にて相あらそふなかれと
25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
かれらエジプトより上りてカナンの地にゆきその父ヤコブにいたり
26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
之につげてヨセフは尚いきてをりエジプト全國の宰となりをるといふしかるにヤコブの心なほ寒冷なりき其はこれを信ぜざればなり
27 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
彼等またヨセフの己にいひたる言をことごとく之につげたりその父ヤコブ、ヨセフがおのれを載んとておくりし車をみるにおよびて其氣おのれにかへれり
28 and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
イスラエルすなはちいふ足りわが子ヨセフなほ生をるわれ死ざるまへに往て之を視ん
