< Genesis 11 >
1 And the whole earth is of one language, and of the same words,
全地は一の言語一の音のみなりき
2 and it comes to pass, in their journeying from the east, that they find a valley in the land of Shinar and dwell there;
茲に人衆東に移りてシナルの地に平野を得て其處に居住り
3 and they each say to his neighbor, “Give help, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly”: and the brick is to them for stone, and the bitumen has been to them for mortar.
彼等互に言けるは去來甎石を作り之を善く爇んと遂に石の代に甎石を獲灰沙の代に石漆を獲たり
4 And they say, “Give help, let us build for ourselves a city and tower with its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
又曰けるは去來邑と塔とを建て其塔の頂を天にいたらしめん斯して我等名を揚て全地の表面に散ることを免れんと
5 And YHWH comes down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men have built;
ヱホバ降臨りて彼人衆の建る邑と塔とを觀たまへり
6 and YHWH says, “Behold, the people [is] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this it has dreamed of doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which they have purposed to do.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは視よ民は一にして皆一の言語を用ふ今既に此を爲し始めたり然ば凡て其爲んと圖維る事は禁止め得られざるべし
7 Give help, let us go down there and confuse their language, so that a man will not understand the language of his companion.”
去來我等降り彼處にて彼等の言語を淆し互に言語を通ずることを得ざらしめんと
8 And YHWH scatters them from there over the face of all the earth, and they cease to build the city;
ヱホバ遂に彼等を彼處より全地の表面に散したまひければ彼等邑を建ることを罷たり
9 therefore [one] has called its name Babel, for there YHWH has confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH has scattered them over the face of all the earth.
是故に其名はバベル(淆亂)と呼ばる是はヱホバ彼處に全地の言語を淆したまひしに由てなり彼處よりヱホバ彼等を全地の表に散したまへり

27 And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah has begotten Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran has begotten Lot;
テラの傳は是なりテラ、アブラム、ナホルおよびハランを生ハラン、ロトを生り
28 and Haran dies in the presence of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
ハランは其父テラに先ちて其生處なるカルデアのウルにて死たり
29 And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of Abram’s wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife [is] Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of Iscah.
アブラムとナホルと妻を娶れりアブラムの妻の名をサライと云ナホルの妻の名をミルカと云てハランの女なりハランはミルカの父にして亦イスカの父なりき
30 And Sarai is barren—she has no child.
サライは石女にして子なかりき
31 And Terah takes his son Abram, and Lot, son of Haran, his son’s son, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, wife of his son Abram, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go toward the land of Canaan; and they come to Haran, and dwell there.
テラ、カナンの地に往とて其子アブラムとハランの子なる其孫ロト及其子アブラムの妻なる其媳サライをひき挈て倶にカルデアのウルを出たりしがハランに至て其處に住り
32 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and Terah dies in Haran.
テラの齡は二百五歳なりきテラはハランにて死り
