Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen.
茲にヨセフゆきてパロにつげていひけるはわが父と兄弟およびその羊と牛と諸の所有物カナンの地よりいたれり彼らはゴセンの地にをると
2 Five men also the last of his brethren, he presented before the king:
その兄弟の中より五人をとりてこれをパロにまみえしむ
3 And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
パロ、ヨセフの兄弟等にいひけるは汝らの業は何なるか彼等パロにいふ僕等は牧者なりわれらも先祖等もともにしかりと
4 We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.
かれら又パロにいひけるは此國に寓らんとて我等はきたる其はカナンの地に饑饉はげしくして僕等の群をやしなふ牧場なければなりされば請ふ僕等をしてゴセンの地にすましめたまへ
5 The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
パロ、ヨセフにかたりていふ汝の父と兄弟汝の所にきたれり
6 The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.
エジプトの地はなんぢの前にあり地の善き處に汝の父と兄弟をすましめよすなはちゴセンの地にかれらをすましめよ汝もし彼等の中に才能ある者あるをしらば其人々をしてわが家畜をつかさどらしめよ
7 After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.
ヨセフまた父ヤコブを引ていりパロの前にたたしむヤコブ、パロを祝す
8 And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?
パロ、ヤコブにいふ汝の齡の日は幾何なるか
9 He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.
ヤコブ、パロにいひけるはわが旅路の年月は百三十年にいたる我が齡の日は僅少にして且惡かり未だわが先祖等の齡の日と旅路の日にはおよばざるなり
10 And blessing the king, he went out.
ヤコブ、パロを祝しパロのまへよりいでさりぬ
11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.
ヨセフ、パロの命ぜしごとくその父と兄弟に居所を與へエジプトの國の中の善き地即ちラメセスの地をかれらにあたへて所有となさしむ
12 And he nourished them, and all his father’s house, allowing food to every one.
ヨセフその父と兄弟と父の全家にその子の數にしたがひて食物をあたへて養へり
13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.
却説饑饉ははなはだはげしくして全國に食物なくエジプトの國とカナンの國饑饉のために弱れり
14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king’s treasure.
ヨセフ穀物を賣あたへてエジプトの地とカナンの地にありし金をことごとく斂む而してヨセフその金をパロの家にもちきたる
15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.
エジプトの國とカナンの國に金つきたればエジプト人みなヨセフにいたりていふ我等に食物をあたへよ如何ぞなんぢの前に死べけんや金すでにたえたり
16 And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.
ヨセフいひけるは汝等の家畜をいだせ金もしたえたらば我なんぢらの家畜にかへて與ふべしと
17 And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.
かれら乃ちその家畜をヨセフにひききたりければヨセフその馬と羊の群と牛の群および驢馬にかへて食物をかれらにあたへそのすべての家畜のために其年のあひだ食物をあたへてこれをやしなふ
18 And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.
かくてその年暮けるが明年にいたりて人衆またヨセフにきたりて之にいふ我等主に隱すところなしわれらの金は竭たりまたわれらの畜の群は主に皈す主のまへにいだすべき者は何ものこりをらず唯われらの身體と田地あるのみ
19 Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king’s servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.
われらいかんぞわれらの田地とともに汝の目のまへに死亡ぶべけんや我等とわれらの田地を食物に易て買とれ我等田地とともにパロの僕とならんまた我等に種をあたへよ然ばわれら生るをえて死るにいたらず田地も荒蕪にいたらじ
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao’s hands:
是に於てヨセフ、エジプトの田地をことごとく購とりてパロに納る其はエジプト人饑饉にせまりて各人その田圃を賣たればなり是によりて地はパロの所有となれり
21 And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,
また民はエジプトのこの境の極よりかの境の極の者までヨセフこれを邑々にうつせり
22 Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.
但祭司の田地は購とらざりき祭司はパロより祿をたまはりをればパロの與る祿を食たるによりてその田地を賣ざればなり
23 Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,
茲にヨセフ民にいひけるは視よ我今日汝等となんぢらの田地をかひてパロに納る視よこの種子を汝らに與ふ地に播べし
24 That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.
しかして收穫の五分の一をパロに輸し四分をなんぢらに取て田圃の種としなんぢらの食としなんぢらの家族と子女の食とせよ
25 And they answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.
人衆いひけるは汝われらの生命を拯ひたまへりわれら主のまへに恩をえんことをねがふ我等パロの僕となるべしと
26 From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.
ヨセフ、エジプトの田地に法をたてその五分の一をパロにをさめしむその事今日にいたる唯祭司の田地のみパロの有とならざりき
27 So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly.
イスラエル、エジプトの國に於てゴセンの地にすみ彼處に產業を獲その數増て大に殖たり
28 And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years.
ヤコブ、エジプトの國に十七年いきながらへたりヤコブの年齒の日は合て百四十七年なりき
29 And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt:
イスラエル死る日ちかよりければその子ヨセフをよびて之にいひけるは我もし汝のまへに恩を得るならば請ふなんぢの手をわが髀の下にいれ懇に眞實をもて我をあつかへ我をエジプトに葬るなかれ
30 But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded.
我は先祖等とともに偃んことをねがふ汝われをエジプトよ舁いだして先祖等の墓場にはうむれヨセフいふ我なんぢが言るごとくなすべしと
31 And he said: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed’s head.
ヤコブまた我に誓へといひければすなはち誓へりイスラエル床の頭にて拜をなせり
