Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
茲にヤコブその途に進みしが神の使者これにあふ
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
ヤコブこれを見て是は神の陣營なりといひてその處の名をマハナイム（二營）となづけたり
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
かくてヤコブ己より前に使者をつかはしてセイルの地エドムの野にをる其兄エサウの所にいたらしむ
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
即ち之に命じて言ふ汝等かくわが主エサウにいふべし汝の僕ヤコブ斯いふ我ラバンの所に寄寓て今までとどまれり
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
我牛驢馬羊僕婢あり人をつかはしてわが主に告ぐ汝の前に恩をえんことを願ふなりと
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
使者ヤコブにかへりて言けるは我等汝の兄エサウの許に至れり彼四百人をしたがへて汝をむかへんとて來ると
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
是によりヤコブ大におそれ且くるしみ己とともにある人衆および羊と牛と駱駝を二隊にわかちて
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
言けるはエサウもし一の隊に來りて之をうたば遺れるところの一隊逃るべし
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
ヤコブまた言けるはわが父アブラハムの神わが父イサクの神ヱホバよ汝嘗て我につげて汝の國にかへり汝の親族に到れ我なんぢを善せんといひたまへり
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
我はなんぢが僕にほどこしたまひし恩恵と眞實を一も受るにたらざるなり我わが杖のみを持てこのヨルダンを濟りしが今は二隊とも成にいたれり
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
願くはわが兄の手よりエサウの手より我をすくひいだしたまへ我彼をおそる恐くは彼きたりて我をうち母と子とに及ばん
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
汝は嘗て我かならず汝を惠み汝の子孫を濱の沙の多して數ふべからざるが如くなさんといひたまへりと
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
彼その夜彼處に宿りその手にいりし物の中より兄エサウへの禮物をえらべり
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
即ち牝山羊二百牡山羊二十牝羊二百牡羊二十
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
乳駱駝と其子三十牝牛四十牡牛十牝の驢馬二十驢馬の子十
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
而して其群と群とをわかちて之を僕の手に授し僕にいひけるは吾に先ちて進み群と群との間を隔ておくべし
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
又その前者に命じて言けるはわが兄エサウ汝にあひ汝に問て汝は誰の人にして何處にゆくや是汝のまへなる者は誰の所有なるやといはば
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
汝の僕ヤコブの所有にしてわが主エサウにたてまつる禮物なり視よ彼もわれらの後にをるといふべしと
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
彼かく第二の者第三の者および凡て群々にしたがひゆく者に命じていふ汝等エサウにあふ時はかくの如く之にいふべし
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
且汝等いへ視よなんぢの僕ヤコブわれらの後にをるとヤコブおもへらく我わが前におくる禮物をもて彼を和めて然るのち其面を觀ん然ば彼われを接遇ることあらんと
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
是によりて禮物かれに先ちて行く彼は其夜陣營の中に宿りしが
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
其夜おきいでて二人の妻と二人の仕女および十一人の子を導きてヤボクの渡をわたれり
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
即ち彼等をみちびきて川を渉らしめ又その有る物を渡せり
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
而してヤコブ一人遺りしが人ありて夜の明るまで之と角力す
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
其人己のヤコブに勝ざるを見てヤコブの髀の樞骨に觸しかばヤコブの髀の樞骨其人と角力する時挫離たり
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
其人夜明んとすれば我をさらしめよといひければヤコブいふ汝われを祝せずばさらしめずと
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
是に於て其人かれにいふ汝の名は何なるや彼いふヤコブなり
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
其人いひけるは汝の名は重てヤコブととなふべからずイスラエルととなふべし其は汝神と人とに力をあらそひて勝たればなりと
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
ヤコブ問て請ふ汝の名を告よといひければ其人何故にわが名をとふやといひて乃ち其處にて之を祝せり
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
是を以てヤコブその處の名をベニエル（神の面）となづけて曰ふ我面と面をあはせて神とあひ見てわが生命なほ存るなりと
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
斯て彼日のいづる時にベニエルを過たりしが其髀のために歩行はかどらざりき
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
是故にイスラエルの子孫は今日にいたるまで髀の樞の巨筋を食はず是彼人がヤコブの髀の巨筋に觸たるによりてなり
