< Genesis 41 >
1 And it came to pass at the end of two years of days, that, Pharaoh, was dreaming, when lo! he was standing by the river (Nile);
二年の後パロ夢ることあり即ち河の濱にたちて
2 and lo! from the river, were coming up seven heifers, comely in appearance and fat in flesh, —and they fed among the rushes.
視るに七の美しき肥たる牝牛河よりのぼりて葦を食ふ
3 And lo! seven heifers more coming up after them out of the river, uncomely in appearance and lean in flesh, —and they came and stood beside the heifers, by the lip of the river.
その後また七の醜き痩たる牛河よりのぼり河の畔にて彼牛の側にたちしが
4 Then did the heifers that were uncomely in appearance, and lean in flesh, eat up, the seven heifers that were comely in appearance and fat. So Pharaoh awoke.
その醜き痩たる牛かの美しき肥たる七の牛を食ひつくせりパロ是にいたりて寤む
5 And he fell asleep, and dreamed a second time, when lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk fat and good;
彼また寢て再び夢るに一の莖に七の肥たる佳き穗いできたる
6 and lo! seven ears, lean and shrivelled by an east wind, coming up after them.
其のちに又しなびて東風に燒たる七の穗いできたりしが
7 Then did the lean ears swallow up the seven fat and full ears. So Pharaoh awoke and lo! it was a dream.
その七のしなびたる穗かの七の肥實りたる穗を呑盡せりパロ寤て見に夢なりき
8 And it came to pass in the morning, that his spirit became restless, so he sent and called for all the sacred scribes of Egypt and all her wise men, —and Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one that could interpret them. to Pharaoh.
パロ朝におよびてその心安からず人をつかはしてエジプトの法術士とその博士を皆ことごとく召し之にその夢を述たり然ど之をパロに解うる者なかりき
9 Then spake the chief of the butlers with Pharaoh saying, My faults, would, I, mention this day.
時に酒人の長パロに告ていふ我今日わが過をおもひいづ
10 Pharaoh, was wroth with his servants, —and put them in the ward of the house of the chief of the royal executioners, me, and the chief of the bakers.
甞てパロその僕を怒て我と膳夫の長を侍衞の長の家に幽囚へたまひし時
11 Then must we needs dream, a dream in one night, I and he, —each man, according to the interpretation of his dream, did we dream.
我と彼ともに一夜のうちに夢み各その解明にかなふ夢をみたりしが
12 And, there with us, was a young man, a Hebrew servant to the chief of the royal executioners, and we related to him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, —to each man—according to his dream, did he interpret,
彼處に侍衞の長の僕なる若きヘブル人我らと偕にあり我等これにのべたれば彼われらの夢を解その夢にしたがひて各人に解明をなせり
13 And it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so, it happened, —me, he restored to mine office but him, he hanged.
しかして其事かれが解たるごとくなりて我はわが職にかへり彼は木に懸らる
14 Then sent Pharaoh and summoned Joseph, and they hastened him out of the dungeon, —so he shaved himself and changed his garments, and came in unto Pharaoh.
是に於てパロ人をやりてヨセフを召しければ急ぎてこれを獄より出せりヨセフすなはち髭を薙り衣をかへてパロの許にいり來る
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, A dream, have I dreamed, but none can interpret it, —but, I, have heard say concerning thee, that on hearing a dream, thou canst interpret it.
パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは我夢をみたれど之をとく者なし聞に汝は夢をききて之を解くことをうると云ふ
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, Not to me, doth it pertain! May, God grant in answer, the prosperity of Pharaoh!
ヨセフ、パロにこたへていひけるは我によるにあらず神パロの平安を告たまはん
17 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph, —In my dream, there was I, standing on the lip of the river;
パロ、ヨセフにいふ我夢に河の岸にたちて見るに
18 When lo! out of the river, were coming up seven heifers, fat in flesh and comely in form, —and they fed among the rushes.
河より七の肥たる美しき牝牛のぼりて葦を食ふ
19 And lo! seven other heifers, coming up after them, poor and very uncomely in form and lean in flesh, —I had never seen such in all the land of Egypt, for uncomeliness.
後また弱く甚だ醜き瘠たる七の牝牛のぼりきたる其惡き事エジプト全國にわが未だ見ざるほどなり
20 Then did the lean and uncomely heifers eat up the first seven fat heifers;
その瘠たる醜き牛初の七の肥たる牛を食ひつくしたりしが
21 and they passed into their stomach yet could it not be known that they had passed into them, their appearance, being uncomely, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
已に腹にいりても其腹にいりし事しれず尚前のごとく醜かりき我是にいたりて寤めたり
22 Then looked I in my dream, —And lo! seven ears, coming up on one stalk, full and good;
我また夢に見るに七の實たる佳き穗一の莖にいできたる
23 And lo! seven ears, withered lean shrivelled by an east wind growing up after them.
その後にまたいぢけ萎びて東風にやけたる七の穗生じたりしが
24 Then did the lean ears swallow up, the seven good ears. So I told [these things] unto the sacred scribes, but there was none that could explain [them] to me.
そのしなびたる穗かの七の佳穗を呑つくせり我これを法術士に告たれどもわれにこれをしめすものなし
25 Then said Joseph unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh, is, one. What God is about to do hath he announced to Pharaoh.
ヨセフ、パロにいひけるはパロの夢は一なり神その爲んとする所をパロに示したまへるなり
26 The seven good heifers, are, seven years, and, the seven good ears are, seven years, —the dream, is, one.
七の美牝牛は七年七の佳穗も七年にして夢は一なり
27 And the seven lean and uncomely heifers that were coming up after them, are seven years, and the seven lean ears, shrivelled by an east wind, will turn out to be—seven years of famine.
其後にのぼりし七の瘠たる醜き牛は七年にしてその東風にやけたる七の空穗は七年の饑饉なり
28 The very word that I spake unto Pharaoh, what, God, is about to do, hath he showed unto Pharaoh.
是はわがパロに申すところなり神そのなさんとするところをパロにしめしたまふ
29 Lo! seven years, coming in, —of great plenty, in all the land of Egypt.
エジプトの全地に七年の大なる豐年あるべし
30 Then shall arise seven years of famine, after them, so shall be forgotten all the plenty in the land of Egypt, —and the famine shall consume the land;
その後に七年の凶年おこらん而してエジプトの地にありし豐作を皆忘るにいたるべし饑饉國を滅さん
31 neither shall the plenty in the land be discernible, because of that famine coming after, —for it shall be, very severe.
後にいたるその饑饉はなはだはげしきにより前の豐作國の中に知れざるにいたらん
32 And for that there was a repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh, twice, it is because the thing, is established, from God, and God is hastening to do it.
パロのふたたび夢をかさね見たまひしは神がこの事をさだめて速に之をなさんとしたまふなり
33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, —and set him over the land of Egypt.
さればパロ慧く賢き人をえらみて之にエジプトの國を治めしめたまふべし
34 Let Pharaoh do this, that he may appoint overseers over the land, —so shall he take up a fifth of the land of Egypt, during the seven years of plenty.
パロこれをなし國中に官吏を置てその七年の豐年の中にエジプトの國の五分の一を取たまふべし
35 And let them gather up all the food of these seven good years that are coming in, —and let them heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh as food in cities so shall they keep it.
而して其官吏をして來らんとするその善き年の諸の糧食を斂めてその穀物をパロの手に蓄へしめ糧食を邑々にかこはしめたまふべし
36 So shall the food become a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which shall come about in the land of Egypt, —and the land shall not be cut off in the famine.
その糧食を國のために畜藏へおきてエジプトの國にのぞむ七年の饑饉に備へ國をして饑饉のために滅ざらしむべし
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, —and in the eyes of all his servants;
パロとその諸の臣僕此事を善とす
38 and Pharaoh said unto his servants, —Can we find such a one, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?
是に於てパロその臣僕にいふ我等神の靈のやどれる是のごとき人を看いだすをえんやと
39 So Pharaoh said unto Joseph, After God hath made known unto thee all this, there is no one discreet and wise like thee.
しかしてパロ、ヨセフにいひけるは神是を盡く汝にしめしたまひたれば汝のごとく慧く賢き者なかるべし
40 Thou, shalt be over my house, and on thy mouth, shall all my people kiss, —only as to the throne, will I be greater than thou.
汝わが家を宰るべしわが民みな汝の口にしたがはん唯位においてのみ我は汝より大なるべし
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, —See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは視よ我汝をエジプト全國の冢宰となすと
42 So Pharaoh took his ring from off his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, —and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the chain of gold upon his neck;
パロすなはち指環をその手より脱して之をヨセフの手にはめ之を白布を衣せ金の索をその項にかけ
43 and made him ride in the second chariot which belonged to him, and they cried out before him. Bow the knee! thus setting him over all the land of Egypt.
之をして己のもてる次の輅に乗しめ下にゐよと其前に呼しむ是彼をエジプト全國の冢宰となせり
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph. I, am Pharaoh, Without thee, therefore shall no man raise his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは我はパロなりエジプト全國に汝の允准をえずして手足をあぐる者なかるべしと
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah, and gave him Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, to wife, —and Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.
パロ、ヨセフの名をザフナテパネアと名けまたオンの祭司ポテパルの女アセナテを之にあたへて妻となさしむヨセフいでてエジプトの地をめぐる
46 Now, Joseph, was thirty years old, when he took his station, before Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Joseph went forth from before Pharaoh, and passed along through all the land of Egypt.
ヨセフはエジプトの王パロのまへに立し時三十歳なりきヨセフ、パロのまへを出て遍くエジプトの地を巡れり
47 And the land produced, in the seven years of plenty, by handfuls,
七年の豐年の中に地山なして物を生ず
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years in which there was plenty in the land of Egypt, and laid up food in cities—the food of the fields of the city. which were round about it, laid he up within it.
ヨセフすなはちエジプトの地にありしその七年の糧食を斂めてその糧食を邑々に藏む即ち邑の周圍の田圃の糧食を其邑の中に藏む
49 Thus did Joseph heap up corn like the sand of the sea making it exceeding abundant, —until one hath left off reckoning, because it cannot be reckoned.
ヨセフ海隅の沙のごとく甚だ多く穀物を儲へ遂に數ふることをやむるに至る其は數かぎり無ればなり
50 Now to Joseph, were born two sons, ere yet came in the year of famine, —whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare to him.
饑饉の歳のいたらざる前にヨセフに二人の子うまる是はオンの祭司ポテパルの女アセナテの生たる者なり
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, —For God hath made me forget all my trouble, and all the house of my father.
ヨセフその冢子の名をマナセ(忘)となづけて言ふ神我をしてわが諸の苦難とわが父の家の凡の事をわすれしめたまふと
52 And, the name of the second, called he Ephraim, For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my humiliation.
又次の子の名をエフライム(多く生る)となづけていふ神われをしてわが艱難の地にて多くの子をえせしめたまふと
53 Then came to an end the seven years of the plenty, —which was in the land of Egypt;
爰にエジプトの國の七年の豐年をはり
54 and the seven years of famine began to come in, according as Joseph had said, —and it came to pass that there was a famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt, there was bread.
ヨセフの言しごとく七年の凶年きたりはじむその饑饉は諸の國にあり然どエジプト全國には食物ありき
55 Yet was famine felt in all the land of Egypt, and the people made outcry; unto Pharaoh for bread, —and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, —Go ye unto Joseph, that which he saith to you, shall ye do.
エジプト全國饑し時民さけびてパロに食物を乞ふパロ、エジプトの諸の人にいひけるはヨセフに往け彼が汝等にいふところをなせと
56 Now, the famine, was over all the face of the land, —so Joseph opened all [places] wherein it was and sold corn to the Egyptians, and the famine laid fast hold of the land of Egypt.
饑饉全地の面にありヨセフすなはち諸の倉廩をひらきてエジプト人に賣わたせり饑饉ますますエジプトの國にはげしくなる
57 All the earth also, came in to Egypt to buy corn, unto Joseph, —because the famine had laid fast hold on all the earth.
饑饉諸の國にはげしくなりしかば諸國の人エジプトにきたりヨセフにいたりて穀物を買ふ
