Genesis 50
1 Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
ヨセフ父の面に俯し之をいだきて哭き之に接吻す
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
而してヨセフその僕なる醫者に命じてその父に釁らしむ醫者イスラエルに釁れり
3 They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. The Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
すなはち之がために四十日を用ふ其は尸に釁るにはこの日數を用ふべければなりエジプト人七十日の間之がために哭けり
4 When the days of weeping were over, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak to Pharaoh, saying,
哀哭の日すぎし時ヨセフ、パロの家にかたりていひけるは我もし汝等の前に恩惠を得るならば請ふパロの耳にまうして言へ
5 'My father made me swear, saying, “See, I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. There you will bury me.” Now let me go up and bury my father, and then I will return.'”
わが父我死ばカナンの地にわが掘おきたる墓に我をはうむれといひて我を誓はしめたり然ば請ふわれをして上りて父を葬らしめたまへまた歸りきたらんと
6 Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
パロいひけるは汝の父汝をちかはせしごとくのぼりて之を葬るべし
7 Joseph went up to bury his father. All the officials of Pharaoh went with him—the elders of his household, all the senior officials of the land of Egypt,
是に於てヨセフ父を葬らんとて上るパロの諸の臣パロの家の長老等エジプトの地の長老等
8 with all Joseph's household and his brothers, and his father's household. But their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.
およびヨセフの全家とその兄弟等およびその父の家之とともに上る只その子女と羊と牛はゴセンの地にのこせり
9 Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
また車と騎兵ヨセフにしたがひてのぼり其隊ははなはだ大なりき
10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned with very great and grievous sorrow. There Joseph made a seven-day mourning for his father.
彼等つひにヨルダンの外なるアタデの禾場に到り彼にて大に泣き痛く哀しむヨセフすなはち七日父のために哭きぬ
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why the place was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
その國の居人なるカナン人等アタデの禾場の哀哭を見て是はエジプト人の痛くなげくなりといへり是によりて其處の名をアベルミツライム(エジプト人の哀哭)と稱ふヨルダンの外にあり
12 So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed them.
ヤコブの子等その命ぜられたるごとく之になせり
13 His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave with the field for a burial place. He had bought it from Ephron the Hittite.
すなはちヤコブの子等彼をカナンの地に舁ゆきて之をマクペラの田の洞穴にはうむれり是はアブラハムがヘテ人エフロンより田とともに購とりて所有の墓所となせし者にてマムレの前にあり
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph returned into Egypt, he, along with his brothers, and all who had accompanied him to bury his father.
ヨセフ父を葬りてのち其兄弟および凡て己とともにのぼりて父をはうむれる者とともにエジプトにかへりぬ
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds on to anger against us and wants to repay us in full for all the evil we did to him?”
ヨセフの兄弟等その父の死たるを見ていひけるはヨセフあるいはわれらを恨むることあらん又かならずわれらが彼になしたる諸の惡にむくゆるならんと
16 So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions before he died, saying,
すなはちヨセフにいひおくりけるはなんぢの父死るまへに命じて言けらく
17 'Tell Joseph this, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin when they did evil to you.”' Now please forgive the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
汝ら斯ヨセフにいふべし汝の兄弟汝に惡をなしたれども冀はくはその罪咎をゆるせと然ば請ふ汝の父の神の僕等の咎をゆるせとヨセフその言を聞て啼泣り
18 His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
兄弟等もまた自らきたりヨセフの面の前に俯し我儕は汝の僕とならんといふ
19 But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
ヨセフかれらに曰けるは懼るなかれ我あに神にかはらんや
20 As for you, you meant to harm me, but God meant it for good, to preserve the lives of many people, as you see today.
汝等は我を害せんとおもひたれども神はそれを善にかはらせ今日のごとく多の民の生命を救ふにいたらしめんとおもひたまへり
21 So now do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” He comforted them in this way and spoke kindly to their hearts.
故に汝らおそるるなかれ我なんぢらと汝らの子女をやしなはんと彼等をなぐさめ懇に之にかたれり
22 Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred ten years.
ヨセフ父の家族とともにエジプトにすめりヨセフは百十歳いきながらへたり
23 Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. He also saw the children of Machir son of Manasseh, who were placed on the knees of Joseph.
ヨセフ、エフライムの三世の子女をみるにいたれりマナセの子マキルの子女もうまれてヨセフの膝にありき
24 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die; but God will surely come to you and lead you up out of this land to the land which he swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
ヨセフその兄弟等にいひけるは我死ん神かならず汝等を眷顧みなんぢらを此地よりいだしてそのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひし地にいたらしめたまはんと
25 Then Joseph made the people of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. At that time you must carry up my bones from here.”
ヨセフ神かならず汝等をかへりみたまはん汝らわが骨をここよりたづさへのぼるべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を誓はしむ
26 So Joseph died, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
ヨセフ百十歳にして死たれば之に釁りて櫃にをさめてエジプトにおけり
