Genesis 49
1 And Jacob calls to his sons and says, “Be gathered together, and I declare to you that which happens with you in the latter end of the days.
ヤコブその子等を呼ていひけるは汝らあつまれ我後の日に汝らが遇んところの事を汝等につげん
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
汝等つどひて聽けヤコブの子等よ汝らの父イスラエルに聽け
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
ルベン汝はわが冢子わが勢わが力の始威光の卓越たる者權威の卓越たる者なり
4 Unstable as water, you are not abundant; For you have gone up your father’s bed; Then you have defiled [it]: He went up my couch!
汝は水の沸あがるがごとき者なれば卓越を得ざるべし汝父の床にのぼりて浼したればなり嗚呼彼はわが寢牀にのぼれり
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
シメオン、レビは兄弟なりその劍は暴逆の器なり
6 Into their secret, do not come, O my soul! Do not be united to their assembly, O my glory; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince.
我魂よかれらの席にのぞむなかれ我寶よかれらの集會につらなるなかれ其は彼等その怒にまかせて人をころしその意にまかせて牛を筋截たればなり
7 Cursed [is] their anger, for [it is] fierce, And their wrath, for [it is] sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter them in Israel.
その怒は烈しかれば詛ふべしその憤は暴あれば詛ふべし我彼らをヤコブの中に分ちイスラエルの中に散さん
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
ユダよ汝は兄弟の讚る者なり汝の手はなんぢの敵の頸を抑へんなんぢの父の子等なんぢの前に鞠ん
9 A lion’s whelp [is] Judah, For prey, my son, you have gone up; He has bent, he has crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causes him to arise?
ユダは獅子の子の如しわが子よ汝は所掠物をさきてかへりのぼる彼は牡獅子のごとく伏し牝獅のごとく蹲まる誰か之をおこすことをせん
10 The scepter does not turn aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Until his Seed comes; And His [is] the obedience of peoples.
杖ユダを離れず法を立る者その足の間をはなるることなくしてシロの來る時にまでおよばん彼に諸の民したがふべし
11 Binding to the vine his donkey, And to the choice vine the colt of his donkey, He has washed in wine his clothing, And in the blood of grapes his covering;
彼その驢馬を葡萄の樹に繋ぎその牝驢馬の子を葡萄の蔓に繋がん又その衣を酒にあらひ其服を葡萄の汁にあらふべし
12 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
その目は酒によりて紅くその齒は乳によりて白し
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
ゼブルンは海邊にすみ舟の泊る海邊に住はんその界はシドンにおよぶべし
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
イッサカルは羊の牢の間に伏す健き驢馬の如し
15 And he sees rest, that [it is] good, And the land, that [it is] pleasant, And he inclines his shoulder to bear, And is a servant for tribute.
彼みて安泰を善としその國を樂とし肩をさげて負ひ租税をいだして僕となるべし
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
ダンはイスラエルの他の支派の如く其民を鞫かん
17 Dan is a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, Which is biting the horse’s heels, And its rider falls backward.
ダンは路の旁の蛇のごとく途邊にある蝮のごとし馬の踵を噛てその騎者をして後に落しむ
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
ヱホバよわれ汝の拯救を待り
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
ガドは軍勢これにせまらんされど彼返てその後にせまらん
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
アセルよりいづる食物は美るべし彼王の食ふ美味をいださん
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
ナフタリは釋れたる麀のごとし彼美言をいだすなり
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
ヨセフは實を結ぶ樹の芽のごとし即ち泉の傍にある實をむすぶ樹の芽のごとしその枝つひに垣を踰ゆ
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
射者彼をなやまし彼を射かれを惡めり
24 And his bow abides in strength, And strengthened are the arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From where is a shepherd, a son of Israel.
然どかれの弓はなほ勁くあり彼の手の臂は力あり是ヤコブの全能者の手によりてなり其よりイスラエルの磐なる牧者いづ
25 By the God of your father who helps you, And the Mighty One who blesses you, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and womb—
汝の父の神による彼なんぢを助けん全能者による彼なんぢを祝まん上なる天の福、下によこたはる淵の福、乳哺の福、胎の福、汝にきたるべし
26 Your father’s blessings have been mighty Above the blessings of my progenitors, To the limit of the perpetual heights They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the one Separate [from] his brothers.
父の汝を祝することはわが父祖の祝したる所に勝て恒久の山の限極にまでおよばん是等の祝福はヨセフの首に歸しその兄弟と別になりたる者の頭頂に歸すべし
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
ベニヤミンは物を噛む狼なり朝にその所掠物を啖ひ夕にその所攫物をわかたん
28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel, and this [is] that which their father has spoken to them, and he blesses them; each according to his blessing he has blessed them.
是等はイスラエルの十二の支派なり斯その父彼らに語り彼等を祝せりすなはちその祝すべき所にしたがひて彼等諸人を祝せり
29 And he commands them and says to them, “I am being gathered to my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave which [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite;
ヤコブまた彼等に命じて之にいひけるは我はわが民にくははらんとすヘテ人エフロンの田にある洞穴にわが先祖等とともに我をはうむれ
30 in the cave which [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] on the front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place;
その洞穴はカナンの地にてマムレのまへなるマクペラの田にあり是はアブラハムがヘテ人エフロンより田とともに購て所有の墓所となせし者なり
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
アブラハムとその妻サラ彼處にはうむられイサクとその妻リベカ彼處に葬られたり我またかしこにレアを葬れり
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
彼田とその中の洞穴はヘテの子孫より購たる者なり
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
ヤコブその子に命ずることを終し時足を床に斂めて氣たえてその民にくははる
