Genesis 50
1 Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and 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; and 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 Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for 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 for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of 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, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
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 said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like 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; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders 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 all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they 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 Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
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 They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
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 grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name 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 His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
ヤコブの子等その命ぜられたるごとく之になせり
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
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 Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried 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, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which 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 They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded 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 ‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of 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 fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, 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 Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for 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 evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening 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 Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
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, he, and his father’s house. Joseph 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. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
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 dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore 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 Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall 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, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put 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
