Genesis 12
1 And Yahweh said unto Abram: Come thou on thy way, Out of thy land and out of the place of thy birth and out of the house of thy father, —Unto the land that I will show thee;
爰にヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは汝の國を出で汝の親族に別れ汝の父の家を離れて我が汝に示さん其地に至れ
2 That I may make thee into a great nation, And bless thee and make great thy name, And become thou a blessing;
我汝を大なる國民と成し汝を祝み汝の名を大ならしめん汝は祉福の基となるべし
3 That I may bless them who bless thee, But him who maketh light of thee, will I curse, —So shall be, blessed in thee, all the families of the ground.
我は汝を祝する者を祝し汝を詛ふ者を詛はん天下の諸の宗族汝によりて福禔を獲と
4 And Abram came on his way, according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto him, and Lot came with him, —now, Abram, was seventy-five years old, when he came forth out of Haran.
アブラム乃ちヱホバの自己に言たまひし言に從て出たりロト彼と共に行りアブラムはハランを出たる時七十五歳なりき
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, with all the goods that they had gathered and the souls that they had gained in Haran, —and they came forth to go towards the land of Canaan, and came in to the land of Canaan.
アブラム其妻サライと其弟の子ロトおよび其集めたる總の所有とハランにて獲たる人衆を携へてカナンの地に往んとて出で遂にカナンの地に至れり
6 And Abram passed along throughout the land, as far as the place of Shechem as far as the Teacher’s Terebinth, the Canaanite being then in the land.
アブラム其地を經過てシケムの處に及びモレの橡樹に至れり其時にカナン人其地に住り
7 And Yahweh appeared unto Abram, and said: To thy seed, will I give this land, —And he built there an altar, unto Yahweh who appeared unto him.
茲にヱホバ、アブラムに顯現れて我汝の苗裔に此地に與へんといひたまへり彼處にて彼己に顯現れたまひしヱホバに壇を築けり
8 And he moved on from thence towards the hill country, on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, —with Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east, and built there an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.
彼其處よりベテルの東の山に移りて其天幕を張り西にベテル東にアイありき彼處にて彼ヱホバに壇を築きヱホバの名を龥り
9 Thus Abram brake up, again and again, towards the South.
アブラム尚進て南に遷れり
10 And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, —so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine in the land.
茲に饑饉其地にありければアブラム、エジプトに寄寓らんとて彼處に下れり其は饑饉其地に甚しかりければなり
11 And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art:
彼近く來りてエジプトに入んとする時其妻サライに言けるは視よ我汝を觀て美麗き婦人なるを知る
12 so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive.
是故にエジプト人汝を見る時是は彼の妻なりと言て我を殺さん然ど汝をば生存かん
13 Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, —to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee.
請ふ汝わが妹なりと言へ然ば我汝の故によりて安にしてわが命汝のために生存ん
14 And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly.
アブラム、エジプトに至りし時エジプト人此婦を見て甚だ美麗となせり
15 And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, —so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh;
またパロの大臣等彼を視て彼をパロの前に譽めければ婦遂にパロの家に召入れられたり
16 and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, —so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.
是に於てパロ彼のために厚くアブラムを待ひてアブラム遂に羊牛僕婢牝牡の驢馬および駱駝を多く獲るに至れり
17 And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, —for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram.
時にヱホバ、アブラムの妻サライの故によりて大なる災を以てパロと其家を惱したまへり
18 And Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was, thy wife?
パロ、アブラムを召て言けるは汝が我になしたる此事は何ぞや汝何故に彼が汝の妻なるを我に告ざりしや
19 Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy way.
汝何故に彼はわが妹なりといひしや我幾彼をわが妻にめとらんとせり然ば汝の妻は此にあり挈去るべしと
20 And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, —and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
パロ即ち彼の事を人々に命じければ彼と其妻および其有る諸の物を送りさらしめたり
