Genesis 15
1 After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding great reward.
是等の事の後ヱホバの言異象の中にアブラムに臨て曰くアブラムよ懼るなかれ我は汝の干櫓なり汝の賚は甚大なるべし
2 And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
アブラム言けるは主ヱホバよ何を我に與んとしたまふや我は子なくして居り此ダマスコのエリエゼル我が家の相續人なり
3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
アブラム又言けるは視よ爾子を我にたまはず我の家の子わが嗣子とならんとすと
4 Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.
ヱホバの言彼にのぞみて曰く此者は爾の嗣子となるべからず汝の身より出る者爾の嗣子となるべしと
5 Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede be.
斯てヱホバ彼を外に携へ出して言たまひけるは天を望みて星を數へ得るかを見よと又彼に言たまひけるは汝の子孫は是のごとくなるべしと
6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
アブラム、ヱホバを信ずヱホバこれを彼の義となしたまへり
7 Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite it.
又彼に言たまひけるは我は此地を汝に與へて之を有たしめんとて汝をカルデアのウルより導き出せるヱホバなり
8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
彼言けるは主ヱホバよ我いかにして我之を有つことを知るべきや
9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.
ヱホバ彼に言たまひけるは三歳の牝牛と三歳の牝山羊と三歳の牡羊と山鳩および雛き鴿を我ために取れと
10 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
彼乃ち是等を皆取て之を中より剖き其剖たる者を各相對はしめて置り但鳥は剖ざりき
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
鷙鳥其死體の上に下る時はアブラム之を驅はらへり
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
斯て日の沒る頃アブラム酣く睡りしが其大に暗きを覺えて懼れたり
13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
時にヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは爾確に知るべし爾の子孫他人の國に旅人となりて其人々に服事へん彼等四百年のあひだ之を惱さん
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
又其服事たる國民は我之を鞫かん其後彼等は大なる財貨を携へて出ん
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
爾は安然に爾の父祖の所にゆかん爾は遐齡に逹りて葬らるべし
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
四代に及びて彼等此に返りきたらん其はアモリ人の惡未だ貫盈ざれば也と
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
斯て日の沒て黒暗となりし時烟と火焔の出る爐其切剖たる物の中を通過り
18 In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer Euphrates.
是日にヱホバ、アブラムと契約をなして言たまひけるは我此地をエジプトの河より彼大河即ちユフラテ河まで爾の子孫に與ふ
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
即ちケニ人ケナズ人カデモニ人
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
ヘテ人ペリジ人レパイム人
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
アモリ人カナン人ヱブス人の地是なり
