Genesis 23
1 When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she).
サラ百二十七歳なりき是即ちサラの齡の年なり
2 Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her.
サラ、キリアテアルバにて死り是はカナンの地のヘブロンなりアブラハム至りてサラのために哀み且哭り
3 Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying,
斯てアブラハム死人の前より起ち出てヘテの子孫に語りて言けるは
4 I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight.
我は汝等の中の賓旅なり寄居者なり請ふ汝等の中にて我は墓地を與へて吾が所有となし我をして吾が死人を出し葬ることを得せしめよ
5 Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
ヘテの子孫アブラハムに應て之に言ふ
6 Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein.
我主よ我等に聽たまへ我等の中にありて汝は神の如き君なり我等の墓地の佳者を擇みて汝の死人を葬れ我等の中一人も其墓地を汝にをしみて汝をしてその死人を葬らしめざる者なかるべし
7 Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites.
是に於てアブラハム起ち其地の民ヘテの子孫に對て躬を鞠む
8 And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar,
而して彼等と語ひて言けるは若我をしてわが死人を出し葬るを得せしむる事汝等の意ならば請ふ我に聽て吾ためにゾハルの子エフロンに求め
9 That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you.
彼をして其野の極端に有るマクペラの洞穴を我に與へしめよ彼其十分の値を取て之を我に與へ汝等の中にてわが所有なる墓地となさば善し
10 (For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying,
時にエフロン、ヘテの子孫の中に坐しゐたりヘテ人エフロン、ヘテの子孫即ち凡て其邑の門に入る者の聽る前にてアブラハムに應へて言けるは
11 No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead.
吾主よ我に聽たまへ其野は我汝に輿ふ又其中の洞穴も我之を汝に輿ふ我わが民なる衆人の前にて之を汝あたふ汝の死人を葬れ
12 Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land,
是に於てアブラハム其地の民の前に躬を鞠たり
13 And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
而して彼其地の民に聽る前にてエフロンに語りて言けるは汝若之を肯はば請ふ吾に聽け我其野の値を汝に償はん汝之を吾より取れ我わが死人を彼處に葬らん
14 Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him,
エフロン、アブラハムに答て曰けるは
15 My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
わが主よ我に聽たまへ彼地は銀四百シケルに當る是は我と汝の間に豈道に足んや然ば汝の死人を葬れ
16 So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants.
アブラハ、ムエフロンの言に從ひエフロンがヘテの子孫の聽る前にて言たる所の銀を秤り商買の中の通用銀四百シケルを之に輿へたり
17 So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure
マムレの前なるマクペラに在るエフロンの野は野も其中の洞穴も野の中と其四周の堺にある樹も皆
18 Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie.
ヘテの子孫の前即ち凡て其邑に入る者の前にてアブラハムの所有と定りぬ
19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
厥後アブラハム其妻サラをマムレの前なるマクペラの野の洞穴に葬れり是即ちカナンの地のヘブロンなり
20 Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.
斯く其野と其中の洞穴はヘテの子孫之をアブラハムの所有なる墓地と定めたり
