Genesis 18
1 And Yahweh appeared unto him among the oaks of Mamre, —as, he, was sitting at the opening of the tent in 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 lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! three men, standing over against him, —so he looked and ran to meet them from the opening of the tent, and bowed himself to 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 said, —O My Lord! if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, do not I pray thee pass on from thy 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 Let there be fetched, I pray thee a little water, and bathe ye your feet, —and rest yourselves 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 let me fetch a morsel of bread, and stay ye your heart, Afterwards, ye may pass on, For on this account, have ye passed by, over against your servant. And they said, Thus, shalt thou do as thou hast 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 So Abraham hastened towards the tent unto Sarah, —and said, Hasten thou three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make hearth-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 unto the herd, ran Abraham, —and took a calf tender and good and gave unto the young man, and he hastened to make it ready.
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 took butter and milk and the calf that he had made ready, and set before them, —while, he, was standing near them under the tree, they did 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 said unto him, As to Sarah thy wife… And he said Lo! [she is] 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 said, I will, surely return, unto thee at the quickening season, —and lo! a son for Sarah thy wife. Now Sarah, was hearkening at the opening of the tent, it, being 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 But Abraham and Sarah, were old, far gone in days, —it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
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 So then Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I am past age, hath there come to me pleasure, my lord, also being 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 Yahweh said unto Abraham, —Wherefore now did Sarah laugh saying. Can it really and truly be that I should bear, seeing that I have become old?
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 Yahweh? At the appointed time, I will return unto thee, at the quickening season and Sarah, shall have 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 denied, saying, I laughed not, For she was afraid. And he said—Nay! but thou didst 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 rose up from thence, and looked out over the face of Sodom, —Abraham also going with them to set them on their way.
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 Now, Yahweh, had said, —Am I going to hide from Abraham what I do,
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 when, Abraham, shall surely become, a great and mighty nation, —and all the nations of the earth, shall be blessed in him?
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 become his intimate friend, To the end that he may command his sons and his house after him, so shall they keep the way of Yahweh, by doing righteousness and justice. To the end that Yahweh may bring in for Abraham, what he hath 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 So Yahweh said, The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah, because it hath become great, —And their sin, because it hath become exceeding 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 Let me go down, pray, and let me behold, whether according to their outcry which hath come in unto me, they have done altogether, And if not. I must 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 turned from thence, and went their way, towards Sodom, —but, Yahweh was yet standing before Abraham.
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 So then Abraham drew near and said, Wilt thou really sweep away, the righteous with the lawless?
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 Peradventure there are fifty righteous, in the midst of the city, Wilt thou really sweep away, and not spare the place, for the sake of the fifty righteous which are therein?
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 thee! to do after this manner. to put to death the righteous with the lawless! Then should righteous and lawless be alike, Far be it from thee! Shall, 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 Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then will I spare 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 responded and said, —Behold I pray thee I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, though 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 Peradventure there may lack, of the fifty righteous, five, Wilt thou destroy for five all the city? And he said, I will not destroy, if I find there forty and 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 added, yet once more, to speak unto him, and said, Peradventure there may be found there—forty. And he said—I will not do it, for the sake 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 said Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak, Peradventure there may be found there—thirty And he said, I will not to 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 said Behold, I pray thee, I have ventured to speak unto My Lord, Peradventure there may be found there—twenty. And he said I will not destroy it, for the sake 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 said, Let it not, I pray thee, be vexing to My Lord, but let me speak only this once, Peradventure there may be found there—ten. And he said, I will not destroy [it], for the sake 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 Yahweh went his way, when he had made an end. of speaking unto Abraham, —Abraham, also returned 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
