< Genesis 31 >
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
茲にヤコブ、ラバンの子等がヤコブわが父の所有を盡く奪ひ吾父の所有によりて此凡の榮光を獲たりといふを聞り
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
亦ヤコブ、ラバンの面を見るに己に對すること疇昔の如くならず
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
時にヱホバ、ヤコブに言たまへるは汝の父の國にかへり汝の親族に至れ我汝と偕にをらんと
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
是に於てヤコブ人をやりてラケルとレアを野に招きて群の所に至らしめ
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
之にいひけるは我汝等の父の面を見るに其我に對すること疇昔の如くならず然どわが父の神は我と偕にいますなり
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
汝等がしるごとく我力を竭して汝らの父に事へたるに
7 and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
汝等の父我を欺きて十次もわが値を易たり然ども神彼の我を害するを容したまはず
8 If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
彼斑駮なる者は汝の傭値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑駮なり斑入の者は汝の値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑入なり
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に輿へたまへり
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
群の孕む時に當りて我夢に目をあげて見しに群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なりき
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
時に神の使者夢の中に我に言ふヤコブよと我此にありと對へければ
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
乃ち言ふ汝の目をあげて見よ群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なり我ラバンが凡て汝に爲すところを鑒みる
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
我はベテルの神なり汝彼處にて柱に膏を沃ぎ彼處にて我に誓を立たり今起て斯地を出で汝の親族の國に歸れと
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
ラケルとレア對て彼にいひけるは我等の父の家に尚われらの分あらんや我等の産業あらんや
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
我等は父に他人のごとくせらるるにあらずや其は父我等を賣り亦我等の金を蝕减したればなり
16 for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
神がわが父より取たまひし財寶は我等とわれらの子女の所屬なり然ば都て神の汝に言たまひし事を爲せ
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
其獲たる凡の家畜と凡の所有即ちパダンアラムにてみづから獲たるところの家畜を携へ去てカナンの地に居る所の其父イサクの所におもむけり
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
時にラバンは羊の毛を剪んとて往てありラケル其父のテラピムを竊めり
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
ヤコブは其去ことをスリア人ラバンに告ずして潛に忍びいでたり
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
即ち彼その凡の所有を挈へて逃去り起て河を渡りギレアデの山にむかふ
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
ヤコブの逃去しこと三日におよびてラバンに聞えければ
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
彼兄弟を率てその後を追ひしが七日路をへてギレアデの山にて之に追及ぬ
24 And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
神夜の夢にスリア人ラバンに臨みて汝愼みて善も惡もヤコブに道なかれと之に告たまへり
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
ラバン遂にヤコブに追及しがヤコブは山に天幕を張ゐたればラバンもその兄弟と共にギレアデの山に天幕をはれり
26 And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
而してラバン、ヤコブに言けるは汝我に知しめずして忍びいで吾女等を劍をもて執たる者のごとくにひき往り何ぞかかる事をなすや
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
何故に汝潛に逃さり我をはなれて忍いで我につげざりしや我歡喜と歌謠と鼗と琴をもて汝を送りしならんを
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
何ぞ我をしてわが孫と女に接吻するを得ざらしめしや汝愚妄なる事をなせり
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
汝等に害をくはふるの能わが手にあり然ど汝等の父の神昨夜我に告て汝つつしみて善も惡もヤコブに語べからずといへり
30 And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
汝今父の家を甚く戀て歸んと願ふは善れども何ぞわが神を竊みたるや
31 And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
ヤコブ答へてラバンにいひけるは恐くは汝強て女を我より奪ならんと思ひて懼れたればなり
32 with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
汝の神を持る者を見ば之を生しおくなかれ我等の兄弟等の前にて汝の何物我の許にあるかをみわけて之を汝に取れと其はヤコブ、ラケルが之を竊しを知ざればなり
33 And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
是に於てラバン、ヤコブの天幕に入りレアの天幕に入りまた二人の婢の天幕にいりしが視いださざればレアの天幕を出てラケルの天幕にいる
34 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
ラケル已にテラピムを執て之を駱駝の鞍の下にいれて其上に坐しければラバン遍く天幕の中をさぐりたれども見いださざりき
35 and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
時にラケル父にいひけるは婦女の經の習例の事わが身にあれば父の前に起あたはず願くは主之を怒り給ふなかれと是をもて彼さがしたれども遂にテラピムを見いださざりき
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應へてラバンに言けるは我何の愆あり何の罪ありてか汝火急く我をおふや
37 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
汝わが物を盡く索たるが汝の家の何物を見いだしたるや此にわが兄弟と汝の兄弟の前に其を置て我等二人の間をさばかしめよ
38 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
我この二十年汝とともにありしが汝の牝綿羊と牝山羊其胎を殰ねしことなし又汝の群の雄綿羊は我食はざりき
39 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
又噛裂れたる者は我これを汝の所に持きたらずして自ら之を補へり又晝竊るるも夜竊るるも汝わが手より之を要めたり
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
我は是ありつ晝は暑に夜は寒に犯されて目も寐るの遑なく
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
此二十年汝の家にありたり汝の二人の女の爲に十四年汝の群のために六年汝に事たり然に汝は十次もわが値を易たり
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
若わが父の神アブラハムの神イサクのの畏む者我とともにいますにあらざれば汝今必ず我を空手にて去しめしならん神わが苦難とわが手の勞苦をかへりみて昨夜汝を責たまへるなり
43 And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
ラバン應てヤコブに言けるは女等はわが女子等はわが子群はわが群汝が見る者は皆わが所屬なり我今日此わが女等とその生たる子等に何をなすをえんや
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
然ば來れ我と汝二人契約をむすび之を我と汝の間の證憑となすべし
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
ヤコブ又その兄弟等に石をあつめよといひければ即ち石をとりて垤を成れり斯て彼等彼處にて垤の上に食す
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
ラバン之をエガルサハドタ(證憑の垤)と名けヤコブ之をギレアデ(證憑の垤)と名けたり
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
ラバン此垤今日われとなんぢの間の證憑たりといひしによりて其名はギレアデとと稱らる
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
又ミヅパ(觀望樓)と稱らる其は彼我等が互にわかるるに及べる時ねがはくはヱホバ我と汝の間を監みたまへといひたればなり
50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
彼又いふ汝もしわが女をなやまし或はわが女のほかに妻をめとらば人の我らと偕なる者なきも神と汝のあひだにいまして證をなしたまふ
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
ラバン又ヤコブにいふ我われとなんぢの間にたてたる此垤を視よ柱をみよ
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
此垤證とならん柱證とならん我この垤を越て汝を害せじ汝この垤この柱を越て我を害せざれ
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
アブラハムの神ナホルの神彼等の父の神われらの間を鞫きたまへとヤコブ乃ちその父イサクの畏む者をさして誓へり
54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
斯てヤコブ山にて犧牲をささげその兄弟を招きてパンを食はしむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
ラバン朝夙に起き其孫と女に接吻して之を祝せりしかしてラバンゆきて其所にかへりぬ
