Genesis 50
1 And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.
ヨセフ父の面に俯し之をいだきて哭き之に接吻す
2 And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
而してヨセフその僕なる醫者に命じてその父に釁らしむ醫者イスラエルに釁れり
3 And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
すなはち之がために四十日を用ふ其は尸に釁るにはこの日數を用ふべければなりエジプト人七十日の間之がために哭けり
4 And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
哀哭の日すぎし時ヨセフ、パロの家にかたりていひけるは我もし汝等の前に恩惠を得るならば請ふパロの耳にまうして言へ
5 For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
わが父我死ばカナンの地にわが掘おきたる墓に我をはうむれといひて我を誓はしめたり然ば請ふわれをして上りて父を葬らしめたまへまた歸りきたらんと
6 And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
パロいひけるは汝の父汝をちかはせしごとくのぼりて之を葬るべし
7 So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
是に於てヨセフ父を葬らんとて上るパロの諸の臣パロの家の長老等エジプトの地の長老等
8 And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
およびヨセフの全家とその兄弟等およびその父の家之とともに上る只その子女と羊と牛はゴセンの地にのこせり
9 He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
また車と騎兵ヨセフにしたがひてのぼり其隊ははなはだ大なりき
10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
彼等つひにヨルダンの外なるアタデの禾場に到り彼にて大に泣き痛く哀しむヨセフすなはち七日父のために哭きぬ
11 And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
その國の居人なるカナン人等アタデの禾場の哀哭を見て是はエジプト人の痛くなげくなりといへり是によりて其處の名をアベルミツライム(エジプト人の哀哭)と稱ふヨルダンの外にあり
12 So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
ヤコブの子等その命ぜられたるごとく之になせり
13 And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
すなはちヤコブの子等彼をカナンの地に舁ゆきて之をマクペラの田の洞穴にはうむれり是はアブラハムがヘテ人エフロンより田とともに購とりて所有の墓所となせし者にてマムレの前にあり
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
ヨセフ父を葬りてのち其兄弟および凡て己とともにのぼりて父をはうむれる者とともにエジプトにかへりぬ
15 Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
ヨセフの兄弟等その父の死たるを見ていひけるはヨセフあるいはわれらを恨むることあらん又かならずわれらが彼になしたる諸の惡にむくゆるならんと
16 And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
すなはちヨセフにいひおくりけるはなんぢの父死るまへに命じて言けらく
17 That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
汝ら斯ヨセフにいふべし汝の兄弟汝に惡をなしたれども冀はくはその罪咎をゆるせと然ば請ふ汝の父の神の僕等の咎をゆるせとヨセフその言を聞て啼泣り
18 And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
兄弟等もまた自らきたりヨセフの面の前に俯し我儕は汝の僕とならんといふ
19 And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
ヨセフかれらに曰けるは懼るなかれ我あに神にかはらんや
20 You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
汝等は我を害せんとおもひたれども神はそれを善にかはらせ今日のごとく多の民の生命を救ふにいたらしめんとおもひたまへり
21 Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
故に汝らおそるるなかれ我なんぢらと汝らの子女をやしなはんと彼等をなぐさめ懇に之にかたれり
22 And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years.
ヨセフ父の家族とともにエジプトにすめりヨセフは百十歳いきながらへたり
23 And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born on Joseph’s knees.
ヨセフ、エフライムの三世の子女をみるにいたれりマナセの子マキルの子女もうまれてヨセフの膝にありき
24 After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
ヨセフその兄弟等にいひけるは我死ん神かならず汝等を眷顧みなんぢらを此地よりいだしてそのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひし地にいたらしめたまはんと
25 And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:
ヨセフ神かならず汝等をかへりみたまはん汝らわが骨をここよりたづさへのぼるべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を誓はしむ
26 And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
ヨセフ百十歳にして死たれば之に釁りて櫃にをさめてエジプトにおけり
