Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
アブラハムは再び妻をめとった。名をケトラという。
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
彼女はジムラン、ヨクシャン、メダン、ミデアン、イシバクおよびシュワを産んだ。
3 Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
ヨクシャンの子はシバとデダン。デダンの子孫はアシュリびと、レトシびと、レウミびとである。
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
ミデアンの子孫はエパ、エペル、ヘノク、アビダ、エルダアであって、これらは皆ケトラの子孫であった。
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
アブラハムはその所有をことごとくイサクに与えた。
6 But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
またそのそばめたちの子らにもアブラハムは物を与え、なお生きている間に彼らをその子イサクから離して、東の方、東の国に移らせた。
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
アブラハムの生きながらえた年は百七十五年である。
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
アブラハムは高齢に達し、老人となり、年が満ちて息絶え、死んでその民に加えられた。
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
その子イサクとイシマエルは彼をヘテびとゾハルの子エフロンの畑にあるマクペラのほら穴に葬った。これはマムレの向かいにあり、
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
アブラハムがヘテの人々から、買い取った畑であって、そこにアブラハムとその妻サラが葬られた。
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
アブラハムが死んだ後、神はその子イサクを祝福された。イサクはベエル・ラハイ・ロイのほとりに住んだ。
12 (These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
サラのつかえめエジプトびとハガルがアブラハムに産んだアブラハムの子イシマエルの系図は次のとおりである。
13 These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
イシマエルの子らの名を世代にしたがって、その名をいえば次のとおりである。すなわちイシマエルの長子はネバヨテ、次はケダル、アデビエル、ミブサム、
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
ミシマ、ドマ、マッサ、
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
ハダデ、テマ、エトル、ネフシ、ケデマ。
16 The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
これはイシマエルの子らであり、村と宿営とによる名であって、その氏族による十二人の君たちである。
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
イシマエルのよわいは百三十七年である。彼は息絶えて死に、その民に加えられた。
18 His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
イシマエルの子らはハビラからエジプトの東、シュルまでの間に住んで、アシュルに及んだ。イシマエルはすべての兄弟の東に住んだ。
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
アブラハムの子イサクの系図は次のとおりである。アブラハムの子はイサクであって、
20 and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
イサクは四十歳の時、パダンアラムのアラムびとベトエルの娘で、アラムびとラバンの妹リベカを妻にめとった。
21 Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
イサクは妻が子を産まなかったので、妻のために主に祈り願った。主はその願いを聞かれ、妻リベカはみごもった。
22 She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
ところがその子らが胎内で押し合ったので、リベカは言った、「こんなことでは、わたしはどうなるでしょう」。彼女は行って主に尋ねた。
23 Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
主は彼女に言われた、「二つの国民があなたの胎内にあり、二つの民があなたの腹から別れて出る。一つの民は他の民よりも強く、兄は弟に仕えるであろう」。
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
彼女の出産の日がきたとき、胎内にはふたごがあった。
25 The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
さきに出たのは赤くて全身毛ごろものようであった。それで名をエサウと名づけた。
26 Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
その後に弟が出た。その手はエサウのかかとをつかんでいた。それで名をヤコブと名づけた。リベカが彼らを産んだ時、イサクは六十歳であった。
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
さてその子らは成長し、エサウは巧みな狩猟者となり、野の人となったが、ヤコブは穏やかな人で、天幕に住んでいた。
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
イサクは、しかの肉が好きだったので、エサウを愛したが、リベカはヤコブを愛した。
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
ある日ヤコブが、あつものを煮ていた時、エサウは飢え疲れて野から帰ってきた。
30 He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
エサウはヤコブに言った、「わたしは飢え疲れた。お願いだ。赤いもの、その赤いものをわたしに食べさせてくれ」。彼が名をエドムと呼ばれたのはこのためである。
31 Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
ヤコブは言った、「まずあなたの長子の特権をわたしに売りなさい」。
32 Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
エサウは言った、「わたしは死にそうだ。長子の特権などわたしに何になろう」。
33 Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
ヤコブはまた言った、「まずわたしに誓いなさい」。彼は誓って長子の特権をヤコブに売った。
34 Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
そこでヤコブはパンとレンズ豆のあつものとをエサウに与えたので、彼は飲み食いして、立ち去った。このようにしてエサウは長子の特権を軽んじた。
