< Genesis 50 >
1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed 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 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
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 forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten 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 when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:
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 My father made me swear, saying: Lo, I die; in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come back.'
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 Pharaoh said: '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 And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his 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 all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
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 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very 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 threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they wailed with a very great and sore wailing; and he made a mourning for his father 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 the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said: 'This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians.' Wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
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 And his sons did unto him according as he 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 For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, in front of Mamre.
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, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, 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 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said: 'It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto 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 unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father did command before he died, saying:
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 So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father.' And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.
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 also went and fell down before his face; and they said: 'Behold, we are thy bondmen.'
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 Joseph said unto them: 'Fear not; for am I in the place 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 And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
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 Now therefore fear ye not; I will sustain you, and your little ones.' And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
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 Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house; and Joseph 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 Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon 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マキルの子女もうまれてヨセフの膝にありき
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'I die; but God will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 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 Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.'
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 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was put 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
