Genesis 21
1 Yahweh was very kind to Sarah, just as he said he would be. He did for Sarah exactly what he promised to do.
ヱホバ其言し如くサラを眷顧みたまふ即ちヱホバ其語しごとくサラに行ひたまひしかば
2 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Abraham when he was very old, at the time God promised it would happen.
サラ遂に孕み神のアブラハムに語たまひし期日に及びて年老たるアブラハムに男子を生り
3 Abraham gave the name ‘Isaac’ (which means ‘he laughs’) to the son Sarah gave birth to.
アブラハム其生れたる子即ちサラが己に生る子の名をイサクと名けたり
4 Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when his son was eight days old, just as God commanded him to do.
アブラハム神の命じたまひし如く八日に其子イサクに割禮を行へり
5 Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born.
アブラハムは其子イサクの生れたる時百歳なりき
6 And Sarah said, “[Although I was sad before because I did not have any children], God has now enabled me to laugh, and everyone who hears about what God has done for me will laugh with me.”
サラ言けるは神我を笑はしめたまふ聞く者皆我とともに笑はん
7 Then she also said, “No one would have said to Abraham that some day Sarah would nurse a child, but I have given birth to a son when Abraham is very old.”
又曰けるは誰かアブラハムにサラ子女に乳を飮しむるにいたらんと言しものあらん然に彼が年老るに及びて男子を生たりと
8 The baby grew and was weaned [when he was about three years old]. On that day, Abraham prepared a large feast to celebrate.
偖其子長育ちて遂に乳を離るイサクの乳を離るる日にアブラハム大なる饗宴を設けたり
9 ([One day/During the feast)] Sarah noticed that Hagar’s son Ishmael was (making fun of/playing with) Isaac.
時にサラ、エジプト人ハガルがアブラハムに生たる子の笑ふを見て
10 So she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman from Egypt and her son! I do not want the son of that slave woman to be alone (OR, to be an heir along with) my son, Isaac!”
アブラハムに言けるは此婢と其子を遂出せ此婢の子は吾子イサクと共に嗣子となるべからざるなりと
11 Abraham was very distressed about the matter, because he was concerned about his son [Ishmael].
アブラハム其子のために甚く此事を憂たり
12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about your son, Ishmael, and about your maidservant, Hagar. Do everything that Sarah tells you to do. Listen to her, because Isaac is the one who will be considered the ancestor of the descendants I promised to give you.
神アブラハムに言たまひけるは童兒のため又汝の婢のために之を憂るなかれサラが汝に言ところの言は悉く之を聽け其はイサクより出る者汝の裔と稱らるべければなり
13 But I will also cause the son of your maidservant to be the ancestor of the people of a great nation [MTY], because he is also your son.”
又婢の子も汝の胤なれば我之を一の國となさん
14 So Abraham got up early the next morning. He got some food ready, put water in a container, and gave them to Hagar. He put them [in a bag] on her shoulder and sent them away. They wandered in the desert near Beersheba [town].
アブラハム朝夙に起てパンと水の革嚢とを取りハガルに與へて之を其肩に負せ其子を携へて去しめければ彼往てベエルシバの曠野に躑躅しが
15 After they had drunk all the water in the container, she put her son under one of the bushes there.
革嚢の水遂に罄たれば子を灌木の下に置き
16 Then she went and sat nearby, about (as far as someone can shoot an arrow/100 meters away), because she thought, “I cannot endure seeing my son die!” As she sat there, she began to cry [loudly] [MTY].
我子の死るを見るに忍ずといひて遙かに行き箭逹を隔てて之に對ひ坐しぬ斯相嚮ひて坐し聲をあげて泣く
17 [The boy was crying too.] And God heard the boy crying. So he caused one of his angels to call out from heaven to Hagar, saying, “Hagar, are you worried about something? Do not be afraid, because God has heard the boy crying there.
神其童兒の聲を聞たまふ神の使即ち天よりハガルを呼て之に言けるはハガルよ何事ぞや懼るるなかれ神彼處にをる童兒の聲を聞たまへり
18 Help your son up, and hold his hand as you leave, because I will cause his descendants to become a great nation.”
起て童兒を起し之を汝の手に抱くべし我之を大なる國となさんと
19 Then God showed her a well of water. So she went to the well and filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
神ハガルの目を開きたまひければ水の井あるを見ゆきて革嚢に水を充し童兒に飮しめたり
20 God helped the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became a good (archer/man who hunts with bow and arrows).
神童兒と偕に在す彼遂に成長り曠野に居りて射者となり
21 He lived in Paran Desert. While e was there, Hagar got a wife for him from Egypt.
パランの曠野に住り其母彼のためにエジプトの國より妻を迎へたり
22 At that time, [King] Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “It is clear that God helps you with everything that you do.
當時アビメレクと其軍勢の長ピコル、アブラハムに語て言けるは汝何事を爲にも神汝とともに在す
23 So now (solemnly promise/swear) to me here, as God is listening, that you will (not deceive/act fairly to) me and my children and my descendants, in return for my being kind to you. Be kind to me and to all the people here in the country where you are now living.”
然ば汝が我とわが子とわが孫に僞をなさざらんことを今此に神をさして我に誓へ我が厚情をもて汝をあつかふごとく汝我と此汝が寄留る地とに爲べし
24 So Abraham promised to do that.
アブラハム言ふ我誓はん
25 [Then] Abraham complained to Abimelech about one of Abraham’s wells that Abimelech’s servants had seized.
アブラハム、アビメレクの臣僕等が水の井を奪ひたる事につきてアビメレクを責ければ
26 But Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done that. You did not tell me previously, and I did not hear about it until today.”
アビメレク言ふ我誰が此事を爲しを知ず汝我に告しこと无く又我今日まで聞しことなし
27 So Abraham brought some sheep and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a (treaty/peace agreement).
アブラハム乃ち羊と牛を取て之をアビメレクに與ふ斯て二人契約を結べり
28 Abraham separated seven female lambs from his flock.
アブラハム牝の羔七を分ち置ければ
29 Abimelech asked Abraham, “What are these seven female lambs that you have separated from the rest of your flock?”
アビメレク、アブラハムに言ふ汝此七の牝の羔を分ちおくは何のためなるや
30 Abraham replied, “I want you truly to accept these female lambs from me [SYN], so that it may be a (public witness/proof) that this well belongs to me because I dug it.”
アブラハム言けるは汝わが手より此七の牝の羔を取りて我が此井を掘たる證據とならしめよと彼等二人彼處に誓ひしによりて
31 So Abimelech accepted the animals, and as a result they called that place Beersheba, [which means ‘Friendship Agreement Well’, ] because there the two of them made that agreement.
其處をベエルシバ(盟約の井)と名けたり
32 After they made the agreement at Beersheba, Abimelech and his army commander, Phicol, left, and returned to the land of the Philistine people-group.
斯彼等ベエルシバにて契約を結びアビメレクと其軍勢の長ピコルは起てペリシテ人の國に歸りぬ
33 Abraham planted a (tamarisk tree/kind of tree called esel) there, and he worshiped the eternal God there.
アブラハム、ベエルシバに柳を植ゑ永遠に在す神ヱホバの名を彼處に龥り
34 Abraham lived in the land of the Philistine people-group for a long time.
斯してアブラハム久くペリシテ人の地に留寄りぬ
