Genesis 20
1 And Abraham journeys from there toward the land of the south, and dwells between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourns in Gerar;
アブラハム彼處より徒りて南の地に至りカデシとシユルの間に居りゲラルに寄留り
2 and Abraham says concerning his wife Sarah, “She is my sister”; and Abimelech king of Gerar sends and takes Sarah.
アブラハム其妻サラを我妹なりと言しかばゲラルの王アビメレク人を遣してサラを召入たり
3 And God comes to Abimelech in a dream of the night and says to him, “Behold, you [are] a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken—and she married to a husband.”
然るに神夜の夢にアビメレクに臨みて之に言たまひけるは汝は其召入たる婦人のために死るなるべし彼は夫ある者なればなり
4 And Abimelech has not drawn near to her, and he says, “Lord, do you also slay a righteous nation?
アビメレク未だ彼に近づかざりしかば言ふ主よ汝は義き民をも殺したまふや
5 Has he not himself said to me, She [is] my sister! And she, even she herself, said, He [is] my brother; in the integrity of my heart, and in the innocence of my hands, I have done this.”
彼は我に是はわが妹なりと言しにあらずや又婦も自彼はわが兄なりと言たり我全き心と潔き手をもて此をなせり
6 And God says to him in the dream, “Indeed, I have known that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I withhold you, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore I have not permitted you to come against her;
神又夢に之に言たまひけるは然り我汝が全き心をもて之をなせるを知りたれば我も汝を阻めて罪を我に犯さしめざりき彼に觸るを容ざりしは是がためなり
7 and now send back the man’s wife, for he [is] inspired, and he prays for you, and you live; and if you do not send back, know that dying you die, you and all that you have.”
然ば彼の妻を歸せ彼は預言者なれば汝のために祈り汝をして生命を保しめん汝若歸ずば汝と汝に屬する者皆必死るべきを知るべし
8 And Abimelech rises early in the morning, and calls for all his servants, and speaks all these words in their ears; and the men fear exceedingly;
是に於てアビメレク其朝夙に起て臣僕を悉く召し此事を皆語り聞せければ人々甚く懼れたり
9 and Abimelech calls for Abraham and says to him, “What have you done to us? And what have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me, and on my kingdom, a great sin? Works which are not done you have done with me.”
斯てアビメレク、アブラハムを召て之に言けるは爾我等に何を爲すや我何の惡き事を爾になしたれば爾大なる罪を我とわが國に蒙らしめんとせしか爾爲べからざる所爲を我に爲したり
10 Abimelech also says to Abraham, “What have you seen that you have done this thing?”
アビメレク又アブラハムに言けるは爾何を見て此事を爲たるや
11 And Abraham says, “Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;
アブラハム言けるは我此處はかならず神を畏れざるべければ吾妻のために人我を殺さんと思ひたるなり
12 and also, she is truly my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becomes my wife;
又我は誠にわが妹なり彼はわが父の子にしてわが母の子にあらざるが遂に我妻となりたるなり
13 and it comes to pass, when God has caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I say to her, This [is] your kindness which you do with me: at every place to where we come, say of me, He [is] my brother.”
神我をして吾父の家を離れて周遊しめたまへる時に當りて我彼に爾我等が至る處にて我を爾の兄なりと言へ是は爾が我に施す恩なりと言たり
14 And Abimelech takes sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gives to Abraham, and sends back his wife Sarah to him;
アビメレク乃ち羊牛僕婢を將てアブラハムに與へ其妻サラ之に歸せり
15 and Abimelech says, “Behold, my land [is] before you, where it is good in your eyes, dwell”;
而してアビメレク言けるは視よ我地は爾のまへにあり爾の好むところに住め
16 and to Sarah he has said, “Behold, I have given one thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is to you a covering of eyes, to all who are with you”; and by all this she is reasoned with.
又サラに言けるは視よ我爾の兄に銀千枚を與へたり是は爾および諸の人にありし事等につきて爾の目を蔽ふ者なり斯爾償贖を得たり
17 And Abraham prays to God, and God heals Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear:
是に於てアブラハム神に祈りければ神アビメレクと其妻および婢を醫したまひて彼等子を產むにいたる
18 for YHWH restraining had restrained every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
ヱホバさきにはアブラハムの妻サラの故をもてアビメレクの家の者の胎をことごとく閉たまへり
