Genesis 37
1 And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land of Canaan.
ヤコブは父の寄留の地、すなわちカナンの地に住んだ。
2 These - [are] [the] accounts of Jacob Joseph [was] a son of seven-teen year[s] he was shepherding with brothers his the flock and he [was] a youth with [the] sons of Bilhah and with [the] sons of Zilpah [the] wives of father his and he brought Joseph report their bad to father their.
ヤコブの子孫は次のとおりである。ヨセフは十七歳の時、兄弟たちと共に羊の群れを飼っていた。彼はまだ子供で、父の妻たちビルハとジルパとの子らと共にいたが、ヨセフは彼らの悪いうわさを父に告げた。
3 And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
ヨセフは年寄り子であったから、イスラエルは他のどの子よりも彼を愛して、彼のために長そでの着物をつくった。
4 And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.
兄弟たちは父がどの兄弟よりも彼を愛するのを見て、彼を憎み、穏やかに彼に語ることができなかった。
5 And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
ある時、ヨセフは夢を見て、それを兄弟たちに話したので、彼らは、ますます彼を憎んだ。
6 And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.
ヨセフは彼らに言った、「どうぞわたしが見た夢を聞いてください。
7 And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.
わたしたちが畑の中で束を結わえていたとき、わたしの束が起きて立つと、あなたがたの束がまわりにきて、わたしの束を拝みました」。
8 And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.
すると兄弟たちは彼に向かって、「あなたはほんとうにわたしたちの王になるのか。あなたは実際わたしたちを治めるのか」と言って、彼の夢とその言葉のゆえにますます彼を憎んだ。
9 And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down to me.
ヨセフはまた一つの夢を見て、それを兄弟たちに語って言った、「わたしはまた夢を見ました。日と月と十一の星とがわたしを拝みました」。
10 And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.
彼はこれを父と兄弟たちに語ったので、父は彼をとがめて言った、「あなたが見たその夢はどういうのか。ほんとうにわたしとあなたの母と、兄弟たちとが行って地に伏し、あなたを拝むのか」。
11 And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
兄弟たちは彼をねたんだ。しかし父はこの言葉を心にとめた。
12 And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.
さて兄弟たちがシケムに行って、父の羊の群れを飼っていたとき、
13 And he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.
イスラエルはヨセフに言った、「あなたの兄弟たちはシケムで羊を飼っているではないか。さあ、あなたを彼らの所へつかわそう」。ヨセフは父に言った、「はい、行きます」。
14 And he said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.
父は彼に言った、「どうか、行って、あなたの兄弟たちは無事であるか、また群れは無事であるか見てきて、わたしに知らせてください」。父が彼をヘブロンの谷からつかわしたので、彼はシケムに行った。
15 And he found him a man and there! [he was] wandering in the open country and he asked him the man saying what? are you seeking.
ひとりの人が彼に会い、彼が野をさまよっていたので、その人は彼に尋ねて言った、「あなたは何を捜しているのですか」。
16 And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
彼は言った、「兄弟たちを捜しているのです。彼らが、どこで羊を飼っているのか、どうぞわたしに知らせてください」。
17 And he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.
その人は言った、「彼らはここを去りました。彼らが『ドタンへ行こう』と言うのをわたしは聞きました」。そこでヨセフは兄弟たちのあとを追って行って、ドタンで彼らに会った。
18 And they saw him from a distance and just before he drew near to them and they dealt deceptively with him to kill him.
ヨセフが彼らに近づかないうちに、彼らははるかにヨセフを見て、これを殺そうと計り、
19 And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
互に言った、「あの夢見る者がやって来る。
20 And now - come and let us kill him and let us throw him in one of the pits and we will say an animal wild it has eaten him and we may see what? will be dreams his.
さあ、彼を殺して穴に投げ入れ、悪い獣が彼を食ったと言おう。そして彼の夢がどうなるか見よう」。
21 And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.
ルベンはこれを聞いて、ヨセフを彼らの手から救い出そうとして言った、「われわれは彼の命を取ってはならない」。
22 And he said to them - Reuben may not you shed blood throw him into the pit this which [is] in the wilderness and a hand may not you stretch out on him so as to rescue him from hand their to restore him to father his.
ルベンはまた彼らに言った、「血を流してはいけない。彼を荒野のこの穴に投げ入れよう。彼に手をくだしてはならない」。これはヨセフを彼らの手から救いだして父に返すためであった。
23 And it was just when he came Joseph to brothers his and they stripped Joseph long garment his [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on him.
さて、ヨセフが兄弟たちのもとへ行くと、彼らはヨセフの着物、彼が着ていた長そでの着物をはぎとり、
24 And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.
彼を捕えて穴に投げ入れた。その穴はからで、その中に水はなかった。
25 And they sat down to eat bread and they lifted up eyes their and they saw and there! a caravan of Ishmaelites [was] coming from Gilead and camels their [were] carrying spice and balm and myrrh traveling to take [them] down Egypt towards.
こうして彼らはすわってパンを食べた。時に彼らが目をあげて見ると、イシマエルびとの隊商が、らくだに香料と、乳香と、もつやくとを負わせてエジプトへ下り行こうとギレアデからやってきた。
26 And he said Judah to brothers his what? [is the] profit if we will kill brother our and we will conceal blood his.
そこでユダは兄弟たちに言った、「われわれが弟を殺し、その血を隠して何の益があろう。
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and hand our may not it be on him for [is] brother our flesh our he and they listened brothers his.
さあ、われわれは彼をイシマエルびとに売ろう。彼はわれわれの兄弟、われわれの肉身だから、彼に手を下してはならない」。兄弟たちはこれを聞き入れた。
28 And they passed by men Midianite[s] traders and they drew and they brought up Joseph from the pit and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver and they brought Joseph Egypt towards.
時にミデアンびとの商人たちが通りかかったので、彼らはヨセフを穴から引き上げ、銀二十シケルでヨセフをイシマエルびとに売った。彼らはヨセフをエジプトへ連れて行った。
29 And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.
さてルベンは穴に帰って見たが、ヨセフが穴の中にいなかったので、彼は衣服を裂き、
30 And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.
兄弟たちのもとに帰って言った、「あの子はいない。ああ、わたしはどこへ行くことができよう」。
31 And they took [the] long garment of Joseph and they slaughtered a male goat of goats and they dipped the long garment in the blood.
彼らはヨセフの着物を取り、雄やぎを殺して、着物をその血に浸し、
32 And they sent [the] long garment of the palms and soles and they brought [it] to father their and they said this we have found investigate please ¿ [the] long garment of son your [is] it or? not.
その長そでの着物を父に持ち帰って言った、「わたしたちはこれを見つけましたが、これはあなたの子の着物か、どうか見さだめてください」。
33 And he recognized it and he said [it is] [the] long garment of son my an animal wild it has eaten him certainly he has been torn to pieces Joseph.
父はこれを見さだめて言った、「わが子の着物だ。悪い獣が彼を食ったのだ。確かにヨセフはかみ裂かれたのだ」。
34 And he tore Jacob clothes his and he put sackcloth on loins his and he mourned on son his days many.
そこでヤコブは衣服を裂き、荒布を腰にまとって、長い間その子のために嘆いた。
35 And they arose all sons his and all daughters his to comfort him and he refused to be comforted and he said that I will go down to son my mourning Sheol towards and he wept for him father his. (Sheol h7585)
子らと娘らとは皆立って彼を慰めようとしたが、彼は慰められるのを拒んで言った、「いや、わたしは嘆きながら陰府に下って、わが子のもとへ行こう」。こうして父は彼のために泣いた。 (Sheol h7585)
36 (And the Medanites *L(E)*) they sold him into Egypt to Potiphar an official of Pharaoh [the] commander of the bodyguards.
さて、かのミデアンびとらはエジプトでパロの役人、侍衛長ポテパルにヨセフを売った。
