< Genesis 47 >

1 So then Joseph went in, and told Pharaoh, and said—My father and my brethren, and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, are come in from the land of Canaan, —and, here they are, in the land of Goshen.
茲にヨセフゆきてパロにつげていひけるはわが父と兄弟およびその羊と牛と諸の所有物カナンの地よりいたれり彼らはゴセンの地にをると
2 Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, —and set them before Pharaoh.
その兄弟の中より五人をとりてこれをパロにまみえしむ
3 And Pharaoh said unto the brethren of Joseph—What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh—Feeders of flocks, are thy servants, both we and our fathers.
パロ、ヨセフの兄弟等にいひけるは汝らの業は何なるか彼等パロにいふ僕等は牧者なりわれらも先祖等もともにしかりと
4 And they said unto Pharaoh—To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee in the land of Goshen.
かれら又パロにいひけるは此國に寓らんとて我等はきたる其はカナンの地に饑饉はげしくして僕等の群をやしなふ牧場なければなりされば請ふ僕等をしてゴセンの地にすましめたまへ
5 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, —Thy father and thy brethren, are come in unto thee.
パロ、ヨセフにかたりていふ汝の父と兄弟汝の所にきたれり
6 The land of Egypt, is, before thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, —let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.
エジプトの地はなんぢの前にあり地の善き處に汝の父と兄弟をすましめよすなはちゴセンの地にかれらをすましめよ汝もし彼等の中に才能ある者あるをしらば其人々をしてわが家畜をつかさどらしめよ
7 So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand before Pharaoh, —and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
ヨセフまた父ヤコブを引ていりパロの前にたたしむヤコブ、パロを祝す
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: About how many, have been the days of the years of thy life?
パロ、ヤコブにいふ汝の齡の日は幾何なるか
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings, have been a hundred and thirty years, —Few and evil, have been the days of the years of my life, neither have they attained unto the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.
ヤコブ、パロにいひけるはわが旅路の年月は百三十年にいたる我が齡の日は僅少にして且惡かり未だわが先祖等の齡の日と旅路の日にはおよばざるなり
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, —and came forth from the presence of Pharaoh.
ヤコブ、パロを祝しパロのまへよりいでさりぬ
11 So then Joseph fixed the dwelling of his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt in the best of the land. in the land of Rameses, —as Pharaoh had commanded.
ヨセフ、パロの命ぜしごとくその父と兄弟に居所を與へエジプトの國の中の善き地即ちラメセスの地をかれらにあたへて所有となさしむ
12 And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father’s house, —with bread, according to the need of their little ones.
ヨセフその父と兄弟と父の全家にその子の數にしたがひて食物をあたへて養へり
13 But, bread, was there none in all the land, —for the famine was, very severe, —so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine,
却説饑饉ははなはだはげしくして全國に食物なくエジプトの國とカナンの國饑饉のために弱れり
14 So Joseph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Egypt. and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which, they, were buying, —and Joseph brought the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
ヨセフ穀物を賣あたへてエジプトの地とカナンの地にありし金をことごとく斂む而してヨセフその金をパロの家にもちきたる
15 And the silver was spent out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, so all the Egyptians came in unto Joseph, saying—Do give us bread, for why should we die before thee, although, silver, hath failed?
エジプトの國とカナンの國に金つきたればエジプト人みなヨセフにいたりていふ我等に食物をあたへよ如何ぞなんぢの前に死べけんや金すでにたえたり
16 Then said Joseph: Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, —if silver hath failed.
ヨセフいひけるは汝等の家畜をいだせ金もしたえたらば我なんぢらの家畜にかへて與ふべしと
17 So they brought in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses and for the cattle of the flock and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses, —and he provided them with bread for all their cattle, throughout that year.
かれら乃ちその家畜をヨセフにひききたりければヨセフその馬と羊の群と牛の群および驢馬にかへて食物をかれらにあたへそのすべての家畜のために其年のあひだ食物をあたへてこれをやしなふ
18 When that year was ended, then came they unto him in the second year and said to him—We will not hide from my lord, how that the silver and the herds of beasts for my lord are come to an end, —there is nothing left before my lord, save only our bodies and our ground:
かくてその年暮けるが明年にいたりて人衆またヨセフにきたりて之にいふ我等主に隱すところなしわれらの金は竭たりまたわれらの畜の群は主に皈す主のまへにいだすべき者は何ものこりをらず唯われらの身體と田地あるのみ
19 Wherefore should we die before thine eyes both we, and our ground? Buy thou us and our ground, for bread, —and we and our ground will become servants to Pharaoh, and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and the ground, not lie waste.
われらいかんぞわれらの田地とともに汝の目のまへに死亡ぶべけんや我等とわれらの田地を食物に易て買とれ我等田地とともにパロの僕とならんまた我等に種をあたへよ然らばわれら生るをえて死るにいたらず田地も荒蕪にいたらじ
20 So Joseph bought all the ground of the Egyptians for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine had laid fast hold upon them, —so the land became Pharaoh’s.
是に於てヨセフ、エジプトの田地をことごとく購とりてパロに納る其はエジプト人饑饉にせまりて各人その田圃を賣たればなり是によりて地はパロの所有となれり
21 And as for the people, he brought them into bondage as servants, —from one end of the boundary of Egypt unto the other end thereof.
また民はエジプトのこの境の極よりかの堺の極の者までヨセフこれを邑々にうつせり
22 Only, the ground of the priests, bought he not, —for the priests had a statutory-portion, from Pharaoh and they had been eating their statutory-portion, which Pharaoh had given them, for which cause, they had not sold their ground.
但祭司の田地は購とらざりき祭司はパロより祿をたまはりをればパロの與る祿を食たるによりてその田地を賣ざればなり
23 And Joseph said unto the people, Lo! I have bought you this day, and your ground for Pharaoh, —see, here is seed for you, so shall ye sow the ground;
茲にヨセフ民にいひけるは視よ我今日汝等となんぢらの田地をかひてパロに納る視よこの種子を汝らに與ふ地に播べし
24 and it shall come to pass that, of the yield, ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, —but the four parts, shall be your own—for seed for the field, and for your food and for them who are in your households and for food for your little ones.
しかして收穫の五分の一をパロに輸し四分をなんぢらに取て田圃の種としなんぢらの食としなんぢらの家族と子女の食とせよ
25 And they said—Thou hast saved our lives! let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, so will we become Pharaoh’s servants.
人衆いひけるは汝われらの生命を拯ひたまへりわれら主のまへに恩をえんことをねがふ我等パロの僕となるべしと
26 And Joseph appointed it for a statute—until this day, regarding the ground of Egypt, that Pharaoh, should take a fifth, —only, the ground of the priests, was, theirs alone, it had not become Pharaoh’s.
ヨセフ、エジプトの田地に法をたてその五分の一をパロにをさめしむその事今日にいたる唯祭司の田地のみパロの有とならざりき
27 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, —and gained possessions therein, and became fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
イスラエル、エジプトの國に於てゴセンの地にすみ彼處に産業を獲その數増して大に殖たり
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, —so it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
ヤコブ、エジプトの國に十七年いきながらへたりヤコブの年齒の日は合て百四十七年なりき
29 And the days of Israel drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him—If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, —so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness—Do not I pray thee, bury me in Egypt.
イスラエル死る日ちかよりければその子ヨセフをよびて之にいひけるは我もし汝のまへに恩を得るならば請ふなんぢの手をわが髀の下にいれ懇に眞實をもて我をあつかへ我をエジプトに葬るなかれ
30 When I shall lie down with my fathers, then shalt thou carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said: I, will do according to thy word.
我は先祖等とともに偃んことをねがふ汝われをエジプトよ舁いだして先祖等の墓場にはうむれヨセフいふ我なんぢが言るごとくなすべしと
31 Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel bow himself down on the head of the couch.
ヤコブまた我に誓へといひければすなはち誓へりイスラエル床の頭にて拜をなせり
