Genesis 18
1 And YHWH appears to him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
ヱホバ、マムレの橡林にてアブラハムに顯現たまへり彼は日の熱き時刻天幕の入口に坐しゐたりしが
2 and he lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, three men standing by him, and he sees, and runs to meet them from the opening of the tent, and bows himself toward the earth,
目を擧て見たるに視よ三人の人其前に立り彼見て天幕の入口より趨り行て之を迎へ
3 and he says, “My Lord, if now I have found grace in Your eyes, please do not pass on from Your servant;
身を地に鞠めて言けるは我が主よ我若汝の目のまへに恩を得たるならば請ふ僕を通り過すなかれ
4 please let a little water be accepted, and wash Your feet, and recline under the tree;
請ふ少許の水を取きたらしめ汝等の足を濯ひて樹の下に休憇たまへ
5 and I bring a piece of bread, and support Your heart; afterward pass on, for therefore You have passed over to Your servant”; and they say, “So may you do as you have spoken.”
我一口のパンを取來らん汝等心を慰めて然る後過ゆくべし汝等僕の所に來ればなり彼等言ふ汝が言るごとく爲せ
6 And Abraham hurries toward the tent, to Sarah, and says, “Hurry three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes”;
是においてアブラハム天幕に急ぎいりてサラの許に至りて言けるは速に細麺三セヤを取り捏てパンを作るべしと
7 and Abraham ran to the herd, and takes a son of the herd, tender and good, and gives to the young man, and he hurries to prepare it;
而してアブラハム牛の群に趨ゆき犢の柔にして善き者を取りきたりて少者に付しければ急ぎて之を調理ふ
8 and he takes butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he has prepared, and sets before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they eat.
かくてアブラハム牛酪と牛乳および其調理へたる犢を取て彼等のまへに供へ樹の下にて其側に立り彼等乃ち食へり
9 And they say to him, “Where [is] Sarah your wife?” And he says, “Behold—in the tent”;
彼等アブラハムに言けるは爾の妻サラは何處にあるや彼言ふ天幕にあり
10 and He says, “Returning I return to you, about the time of life, and behold, to Sarah your wife a son.” And Sarah is listening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;
其一人言ふ明年の今頃我必ず爾に返るべし爾の妻サラに男子あらんサラ其後なる天幕の入口にありて聞ゐたり
11 and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days—the way of women has ceased to be to Sarah;
抑アブラハムとサラは年邁み老いたる者にしてサラには婦人の常の經已に息たり
12 and Sarah laughs in her heart, saying, “After I have waxed old have I had pleasure? My lord [is] also old!”
是故にサラ心に哂ひて言けるは我は老衰へ吾が主も亦老たる後なれば我に樂あるべけんや
13 And YHWH says to Abraham, “Why [is] this? Sarah has laughed, saying, Is it really true—I bear—and I am aged?
ヱホバ、アブラハムに言たまひけるは何故にサラは哂ひて我老たれば果して子を生ことあらんと言ふや
14 Is anything too wonderful for YHWH? At the appointed time I return to you, about the time of life, and Sarah has a son.”
ヱホバに豈爲し難き事あらんや時至らば我定めたる期に爾に歸るべしサラに男子あらんと
15 And Sarah denies, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she has been afraid; and He says, “No, but you did laugh.”
サラ懼れたれば承ずして我哂はずと言へりヱホバ言たまひけるは否汝哂へるなり
16 And the men rise from there, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
斯て其人々彼處より起てソドムの方を望みければアブラハム彼等を送らんとて倶に行り
17 and YHWH said, “Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
ヱホバ言ひ給けるは我爲んとする事をアブラハムに隱すべけんや
18 and Abraham certainly becomes a great and mighty nation, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
アブラハムは必ず大なる強き國民となりて天下の民皆彼に由て福を獲に至るべきに在ずや
19 For I have known him, that he commands his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of YHWH), to do righteousness and judgment, that YHWH may bring on Abraham that which He has spoken concerning him.”
其は我彼をして其後の兒孫と家族とに命じヱホバの道を守りて公儀と公道を行しめん爲に彼をしれり是ヱホバ、アブラハムに其曾て彼に就て言し事を行はん爲なり
20 And YHWH says, “The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah—because great; and their sin—because exceedingly grievous:
ヱホバ又言給ふソドムとゴモラの號呼大なるに因り又其罪甚だ重に因て
21 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming to Me they have done completely—and if not—I know”;
我今下りて其號呼の我に逹れる如くかれら全く行ひたりしやを見んとす若しからずば我知るに至らんと
22 and the men turn from there, and go toward Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before YHWH.
其人々其處より身を旋してソドムに赴むけりアブラハムは尚ほヱホバのまへに立り
23 And Abraham draws near and says, “Do You also consume righteous with wicked?
アブラハム近よりて言けるは爾は義者をも惡者と倶に滅ぼしたまふや
24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; do You also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who [are] in its midst?
若邑の中に五十人の義者あるも汝尚ほ其處を滅ぼし其中の五十人の義者のためにこれを恕したまはざるや
25 Far be it from You to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it has been—as the righteous so the wicked—far be it from You; does the Judge of all the earth not do justice?”
なんぢ斯の如く爲て義者と惡者と倶に殺すが如きは是あるまじき事なり又義者と惡者を均等するが如きもあるまじき事なり天下を鞫く者は公儀を行ふ可にあらずや
26 And YHWH says, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.”
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我若ソドムに於て邑の中に五十人の義者を看ば其人々のために其處を盡く恕さん
27 And Abraham answers and says, “Now behold, I have willed to speak to the Lord, and I [am] dust and ashes;
アブラハム應へていひけるは我は塵と灰なれども敢て我主に言上す
28 perhaps there are lacking five of the fifty righteous—do You destroy for five the whole of the city?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], if I find there forty-five.”
若五十人の義者の中五人缺たらんに爾五人の缺たるために邑を盡く滅ぼしたまふやヱホバ言たまひけるは我若彼處に四十五人を看ば滅さざるべし
29 And he adds again to speak to Him and says, “Perhaps there are found there forty?” And He says, “I do not do [it], because of the forty.”
アブラハム又重ねてヱホバに言上して曰けるは若彼處に四十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我四十人のために之をなさじ
30 And he says, “Please let it not be displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: perhaps there are found there thirty?” And He says, “I do not do [it], if I find there thirty.”
アブラハム曰ひけるは請ふわが主よ怒らずして言しめたまへ若彼處に三十人看えなば如何ヱホバいひたまふ我三十人を彼處に看ば之を爲じ
31 And he says, “Now behold, I have willed to speak to the Lord: perhaps there are found there twenty?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.”
アブラハム言ふ我あへてわが主に言上す若彼處に二十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我二十人のためにほろぼさじ
32 And he says, “Please let it not be displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: perhaps there are found there ten?” And He says, “I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.”
アブラハム言ふ請ふわが主怒らずして今一度言しめたまへ若かしこに十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我十人のためにほろぼさじ
33 And YHWH goes on, when He has finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham has turned back to his place.
ヱホバ、アブラハムと言ふことを終てゆきたまへりアブラハムおのれの所にかへりぬ
