Genesis 22
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and he said unto him, Abraham, and he said, Behold, here am I.
これらの事の後、神はアブラハムを試みて彼に言われた、「アブラハムよ」。彼は言った、「ここにおります」。
2 And he said: Take now thy son, thy only one, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I tell thee of.
神は言われた、「あなたの子、あなたの愛するひとり子イサクを連れてモリヤの地に行き、わたしが示す山で彼を燔祭としてささげなさい」。
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and arose, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
アブラハムは朝はやく起きて、ろばにくらを置き、ふたりの若者と、その子イサクとを連れ、また燔祭のたきぎを割り、立って神が示された所に出かけた。
4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
三日目に、アブラハムは目をあげて、はるかにその場所を見た。
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will worship, and then come again to you.
そこでアブラハムは若者たちに言った、「あなたがたは、ろばと一緒にここにいなさい。わたしとわらべは向こうへ行って礼拝し、そののち、あなたがたの所に帰ってきます」。
6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
アブラハムは燔祭のたきぎを取って、その子イサクに負わせ、手に火と刃物とを執って、ふたり一緒に行った。
7 And Isaac spoke unto Abraham his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, here is the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
やがてイサクは父アブラハムに言った、「父よ」。彼は答えた、「子よ、わたしはここにいます」。イサクは言った、「火とたきぎとはありますが、燔祭の小羊はどこにありますか」。
8 And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son; so they went both of them together.
アブラハムは言った、「子よ、神みずから燔祭の小羊を備えてくださるであろう」。こうしてふたりは一緒に行った。
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built there an altar, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar above the wood.
彼らが神の示された場所にきたとき、アブラハムはそこに祭壇を築き、たきぎを並べ、その子イサクを縛って祭壇のたきぎの上に載せた。
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
そしてアブラハムが手を差し伸べ、刃物を執ってその子を殺そうとした時、
11 But the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Here am I.
主の使が天から彼を呼んで言った、「アブラハムよ、アブラハムよ」。彼は答えた、「はい、ここにおります」。
12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou the least unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thy only one, from me.
み使が言った、「わらべを手にかけてはならない。また何も彼にしてはならない。あなたの子、あなたのひとり子をさえ、わたしのために惜しまないので、あなたが神を恐れる者であることをわたしは今知った」。
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there was a ram that was afterward caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son.
この時アブラハムが目をあげて見ると、うしろに、角をやぶに掛けている一頭の雄羊がいた。アブラハムは行ってその雄羊を捕え、それをその子のかわりに燔祭としてささげた。
14 And Abraham called the name of that place, Adonai-yireh: as it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
それでアブラハムはその所の名をアドナイ・エレと呼んだ。これにより、人々は今日もなお「主の山に備えあり」と言う。
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham the second time out of heaven,
主の使は再び天からアブラハムを呼んで、
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, since, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thy only one:
言った、「主は言われた、『わたしは自分をさして誓う。あなたがこの事をし、あなたの子、あなたのひとり子をも惜しまなかったので、
17 That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
わたしは大いにあなたを祝福し、大いにあなたの子孫をふやして、天の星のように、浜べの砂のようにする。あなたの子孫は敵の門を打ち取り、
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because that thou hast obeyed my voice.
また地のもろもろの国民はあなたの子孫によって祝福を得るであろう。あなたがわたしの言葉に従ったからである』」。
19 And Abraham returned unto his young men; and they rose up, and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.
アブラハムは若者たちの所に帰り、みな立って、共にベエルシバへ行った。そしてアブラハムはベエルシバに住んだ。
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also, hath born children unto Nachor thy brother;
これらの事の後、ある人がアブラハムに告げて言った、「ミルカもまたあなたの兄弟ナホルに子どもを産みました。
21 'Uz his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
長男はウヅ、弟はブズ、次はアラムの父ケムエル、
22 And Kesed, and Chazo, and Pildash, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel.
次はケセデ、ハゾ、ピルダシ、エデラフ、ベトエルです」。
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah; these eight did Milcah bear to Nachor, Abraham's brother.
ベトエルの子はリベカであって、これら八人はミルカがアブラハムの兄弟ナホルに産んだのである。
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebach, and Gacham, and Thachash, and Maachah.
ナホルのそばめで、名をルマという女もまたテバ、ガハム、タハシおよびマアカを産んだ。
