< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
イスラエルその己につける諸の者とともに出たちベエルシバにいたりてその父イサクの神に犧牲をささぐ
2 he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: “Jacob, Jacob.” And he answered him, “Behold, here I am.”
神夜の異象にイスラエルにかたりてヤコブよヤコブよといひたまふ
3 God said to him: “I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
ヤコブわれ此にありといひければ神いひたまふ我は神なり汝の父の神なりエジプトにくだることを懼るなかれわれ彼處にて汝を大なる國民となさん
4 I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
我汝と共にエジプトに下るべし亦かならず汝を導のぼるべしヨセフ手をなんぢの目の上におかんと
5 Then Jacob rose up from the Well of the Oath. And his sons took him, with their little ones and wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry the old man,
かくてヤコブ、ベエルシバをたちいでたりイスラエルの子等すなはちパロの載んとておくりたる車に父ヤコブと己の子女と妻等を載せ
6 along with all that he possessed in the land of Canaan. And he arrived in Egypt with all his offspring:
その家畜とカナンの地にてえたる貨財をたづさへ斯してヤコブとその子孫皆ともにエジプトにいたれり
7 his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and all his progeny together.
ヤコブかくその子と子の子およびその女と子の女すなはちその子孫を皆ともなひてエジプトににつれゆけり

19 The sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob: Joseph and Benjamin.

20 And sons were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him: Manasseh and Ephraim.

26 All the souls who went into Egypt with Jacob and who went out from his thigh, besides the wives of his sons, were sixty-six.
ヤコブとともにエジプトにいたりし者はヤコブの子の妻をのぞきて六十六人なりき是皆ヤコブの身よりいでたる者なり
27 Now the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who went into Egypt, were seventy.
エジプトにてヨセフにうまれたる子二人ありヤコブの家の人のエジプトにいたりし者はあはせて七十人なりき
28 Then he sent Judah ahead of himself, to Joseph, in order to report to him, and so that he would meet him in Goshen.
ヤコブ預じめユダをヨセフにつかはしおのれをゴセンにみちびかしむ而して皆ゴセンの地にいたる
29 And when he had arrived there, Joseph harnessed his chariot, and he went up to meet his father at the same place. And seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and, amid embraces, he wept.
ヨセフその車を整へゴセンにのぼりて父イスラエルを迓へ之にまみえてその頸を抱き頸をかかへて久く啼く
30 And the father said to Joseph, “Now I will die happy, because I have seen your face, and I am leaving you behind alive.”
イスラエル、ヨセフにいふ汝なほ生てをり我汝の面を見ることをえたれば今は死るも可しと
31 And he said to his brothers and to all his father’s house: “I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him: ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
ヨセフその兄弟等と父の家族とにいひけるは我のぼりてパロにつげて之にいふべしわが兄弟等とわが父の家族カナンの地にをりし者我のところに來れり
32 And these honorable men are pastors of sheep, and they have the task of feeding the flock. Their cattle, and herds, and all that they were able to hold, they have brought with them.’
その人々は牧者にして牧畜の人なり彼等その羊と牛およびその有る諸の物をたづさへ來れりと
33 And when he will call you and will say, ‘What is your work?’
パロもし汝等を召て汝等の業は何なるやと問ことあらば
34 You will respond, ‘Your servants are pastors of honor, from our infancy even to the present time, both we and our fathers.’ Now you will say this so that you may be able to live in the land of Goshen, because the Egyptians detest all pastors of sheep.”
僕等は幼少より今に至るまで牧畜の人なり我儕も先祖等もともにしかりといへしからばなんぢらゴセンの地にすむことをえん牧者は皆エジプト人の穢はしとするものなればなり
