< Genesis 48 >
1 And it was after the things these and someone said to Joseph there! father your [is] sick and he took [the] two sons his with him Manasseh and Ephraim.
是等の事の後汝の父病にかかるとヨセフに告る者ありければヨセフ二人の子マナセとエフライムをともなひて至る
2 And someone told to Jacob and he said here! son your Joseph he has come to you and he strengthened himself Israel and he sat on the bed.
人ヤコブに告て汝の子ヨセフなんぢの許にきたるといひければイスラエル強て床に坐す
3 And he said Jacob to Joseph God Almighty he appeared to me at Luz in [the] land of Canaan and he blessed me.
しかしてヤコブ、ヨセフにいひけるは昔に全能の神カナンの地のルズにて我にあらはれて我を祝し
4 And he said to me here I [am] about to make fruitful you and I will multiply you and I will make you a company of peoples and I will give the land this to offspring your after you a possession of perpetuity.
我にいひたまひけらく我なんぢをして多く子をえせしめ汝をふやし汝を衆多の民となさん我この地を汝の後の子孫にあたへて永久の所有となさしめんと
5 And now [the] two sons your who were born to you in [the] land of Egypt until came I to you Egypt towards [belong] to me they Ephraim and Manasseh like Reuben and Simeon they will be[long] to me.
わがエジプトにきたりて汝に就まへにエジプトにて汝に生れたる二人の子エフライムとマナセ是等はわが子となるべしルベンとシメオンのごとく是等はわが子とならん
6 And offspring your whom you have fathered after them to you they will be[long] on [the] name of brothers their they will be called in inheritance their.
是等の後になんぢが得たる子は汝のものとすべし又その産業はその兄弟の名をもて稱らるべし
7 And I - when came I from Paddan she died on me Rachel in [the] land of Canaan on the journey at yet a distance of land to go Ephrathah and I buried her there on [the] journey of Ephrath that [is] Beth-lehem.
我事をいはんに我昔パダンより來れる時ラケル我にしたがひをりて途にてカナンの地に死り其處はエフラタまで尚途の隔あるところなりわれ彼處にて彼をエフラタの途にはうむれり(エフラタはすなはちベテレヘムなり)
8 And he saw Israel [the] sons of Joseph and he said who? [are] these.
斯てイスラエル、ヨセフの子等を見て是等は誰なるやといひければ
9 And he said Joseph to father his [are] sons my they whom he has given to me God in this [place] and he said fetch them please to me so I may bless them.
ヨセフ父にいふ是は神の此にて我にたまひし子等なりと父すなはちいふ請ふ彼らを我所につれきたれ我これを祝せんと
10 And [the] eyes of Israel they were heavy from old age not he was able to see and he brought near them to him and he kissed them and he embraced them.
イスラエルの目は年壽のために眯て見るをえざりしがヨセフかれらをその許につれきたりければ之に接吻してこれを抱けり
11 And he said Israel to Joseph to see face your not I judged and here! he has shown me God also offspring your.
しかしてイスラエル、ヨセフにいひけるは我なんぢの面を見るあらんとは思はざりしに視よ神なんぢの子をもわれにしめしたまふと
12 And he took Joseph them from with knees his and he bowed down to face his [the] ground towards.
ヨセフかれらをその膝の間よりいだし地に俯て拜せり
13 And he took Joseph [the] two of them Ephraim at right [hand] his from [the] left of Israel and Manasseh at left [hand] his from [the] right of Israel and he brought [them] near to him.
しかしてヨセフ、エフライムを右の手に執てヤコブに左の手にむかはしめマナセを左の手に執てヤコブの右の手にむかはしめ二人をみちびきてかれに就ければ
14 And he stretched out Israel right [hand] his and he put [it] on [the] head of Ephraim and he [was] the young and left [hand] his on [the] head of Manasseh he laid cross-wise hands his for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.
イスラエル右の手をのべて季子エフライムの頭に按き左の手をのべてマナセの頭におけりマナセは長子なれども故にかくその手をおけるなり
15 And he blessed Joseph and he said God whom they walked about fathers my before him Abraham and Isaac God who shepherded me from duration my until the day this.
斯してヨセフを祝していふわが父アブラハム、イサクの事へし神わが生れてより今日まで我をやしなひたまひし神
16 The angel who has redeemed me from all harm may he bless the lads and may it be called in them name my and [the] name of fathers my Abraham and Isaac and may they multiply to abundance in [the] midst of the earth.
我をして諸の災禍を贖はしめたまひし天使ねがはくは是童子等を祝たまへねがはくは是等の者わが名とわが父アブラハム、イサクの名をもて稱られんことをねがはくは是等地の中に繁殖がるにいたれ
17 And he saw Joseph that he will put father his [the] hand of right his on [the] head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in view his and he grasped [the] hand of father his to remove it from on [the] head of Ephraim on [the] head of Manasseh.
ヨセフ父が右の手をエフライムの頭に按るを見てよろこばず父の手をあげて之をエフライムの頭よりマナセの頭にうつさんとす
18 And he said Joseph to father his not thus O father my for this [is] the firstborn put right [hand] your on head his.
ヨセフすなはち父にいひけるは然にあらず父よ是長子なれば右の手をその頭に按たまへ
19 And he refused father his and he said I know O son my I know also he he will become a people and also he he will become great and but brother his young he will become great more than him and offspring his it will be [the] fullness of the nations.
父こばみていひけるは我知るわが子よわれしる彼も一の民となり彼も大なる者とならん然れどもその弟は彼よりも大なる者となりてその子孫は多衆の國民となるべしと
20 And he blessed them on the day that saying by you it will bless Israel saying may he make you God like Ephraim and like Manasseh and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
此日彼等を祝していふイスラエル汝を指て人を祝し願くは神汝をしてエフライムのごとくマナセのごとくならしめたまへといふにいたらんとすなはちエフライムをマナセの先にたてたり
21 And he said Israel to Joseph here! I [am] about to die and he will be God with you and he will bring back you to [the] land of fathers your.
イスラエルまたヨセフにいひけるは視よわれは死んされど神なんぢらとともにいまして汝等を先祖等の國にみちびきかへりたまふべし
22 And I I give to you a shoulder one over brothers your which I took from [the] hand of the Amorite[s] by sword my and by bow my.
且われ一の分をなんぢの兄弟よりもおほく汝にあたふ是わが刀と弓を以てアモリ人の手より取たる者なり
