Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelled in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
ヤコブはカナンの地に住り即ちその父が寄寓し地なり
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
ヤコブの傳は左のごとしヨセフ十七歳にしてその兄弟と偕に羊を牧ふヨセフは童子にしてその父の妻ビルハの子およびジルパの子と侶たりしが彼等の惡き事を父につぐ
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
ヨセフは老年子なるが故にイスラエルその諸の兄弟よりも深くこれを愛しこれがために綵る衣を製れり
4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
その兄弟等父がその諸の兄弟よりも深く彼を愛するを見て彼を惡み穩和に彼にものいふことを得せざりき
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
茲にヨセフ夢をみてその兄弟に告ければ彼等愈これを惡めり
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは請ふわが夢たる此夢を聽け
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, see, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
我等田の中に禾束をむすび居たるにわが禾束おき且立り而して汝等の禾束環りたちてわが禾束を拜せり
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
その兄弟等之にいひけるは汝眞にわれらの君となるや眞に我等ををさむるにいたるやとその夢とその言のために益これを惡めり
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
ヨセフ又一の夢をみて之をその兄弟に述ていひけるは我また夢をみたるに日と月と十一の星われを拜せりと
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
則ちこれをその父と兄弟に述ければ父かれを戒めて彼にいふ汝が夢しこの夢は何ぞや我と汝の母となんぢの兄弟と實にゆきて地に鞠て汝を拜するにいたらんやと
11 And his brothers envied him; but his father observed the saying.
斯しかばその兄弟かれを嫉めり然どその父はこの言をおぼえたり
12 And his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
茲にその兄弟等シケムにゆきて父の羊を牧ゐたりしかば
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
イスラエル、ヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟はシケムにて羊を牧をるにあらずや來れ汝を彼等につかはさんヨセフ父にいふ我ここにあり
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether it be well with your brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
父かれにいひけるは請ふ往て汝の兄弟と群の恙なきや否を見てかへりて我につげよと彼をヘブロンの谷より遣はしければ遂にシケムに至る。
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
或人かれに遇ふに彼野にさまよひをりしかば其人かれに問て汝何をたづぬるやといひければ
16 And he said, I seek my brothers: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks.
彼いふ我はわが兄弟等をたづぬ請ふかれらが羊をかひをる所をわれに告よ
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
その人いひけるは彼等は此をされり我かれらがドタンにゆかんといふを聞たりと是に於てヨセフその兄弟の後をおひゆきドタンにて之に遇ふ
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
ヨセフの彼等に近かざる前に彼ら之を遙に見てこれを殺さんと謀り
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
互にいひけるは視よ作夢者きたる
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
去來彼をころして阱に投いれ或惡き獸これを食たりと言ん而して彼の夢の如何になるかを觀るべし
21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
ルベン聞てヨセフを彼等の手より拯ひださんとして言けるは我等これを殺すべからず
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand on him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
ルベンまた彼らにいひけるは血をながすなかれ之を曠野の此阱に投いれて手をこれにつくるなかれと是は之を彼等の手よりすくひだして父に歸んとてなりき
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;
茲にヨセフ兄弟の許に到りければ彼等ヨセフの衣即ちその着たる綵る衣を褫ぎ
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
彼を執て阱に投いれたり阱は空にしてその中に水あらざりき
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
斯して彼等坐てパンを食ひ目をあげて見しに一群のイシマエル人駱駝に香物と乳香と沒藥をおはせてエジプトにくだりゆかんとてギレアデより來る
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
ユダその兄弟にいひけるは我儕弟をころしてその血を匿すも何の益かあらん
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be on him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers were content.
去來彼をイシマエル人に賣ん彼は我等の兄弟われらの肉なればわれらの手をかれにつくべからずと兄弟等これを善とす
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
時にミデアンの商旅經過ければヨセフを阱よりひきあげ銀二十枚にてヨセフをイシマエル人に賣り彼等すなはちヨセフをエジプトにたづさへゆきぬ
29 And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
茲にルベンかへりて阱にいたり見しにヨセフ阱にをらざりしかばその衣を裂き
30 And he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
兄弟の許にかへりて言ふ童子はをらず嗚呼我何處にゆくべきや
31 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
斯て彼等ヨセフの衣をとり牡山羊の羔をころしてその衣を血に濡し
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be your son’s coat or no.
その綵る衣を父におくり遣していひけるは我等これを得たりなんぢの子の衣なるや否を知れと
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
父これを知りていふわが子の衣なり惡き獸彼をくらへりヨセフはかならずさかれしならんと
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
ヤコブその衣を裂き麻布を腰にまとひ久くその子のためになげけり
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
その子女みな起てかれを慰むれどもその慰謝をうけずして我は哀きつつ陰府にくだりて我子のもとにゆかんといふ斯その父かれのために哭ぬ (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
偖ミデアン人はエジプトにてパロの侍衞の長ポテパルにヨセフを賣り
