Genesis 24
1 Forsothe Abraham was eld, and of many daies, and the Lord hadde blessid hym in alle thingis.
アブラハム年邁て老たりヱホバ萬の事に於てアブラハムを祝みたまへり
2 And he seide to the eldere seruaunt of his hows, that was souereyn on alle thingis that he hadde, Put thou thin hond vndur myn hipe,
茲にアブラハム其凡の所有を宰る其家の年邁なる僕に言けるは請ふ爾の手を吾髀の下に置よ
3 that Y coniure thee bi the Lord God of heuene and of erthe, that thou take not a wijf to my sone of the douytris of Chanaan, among whiche Y dwelle;
我爾をして天の神地の神ヱホバを指て誓はしめん即ち汝わが偕に居むカナン人の女の中より吾子に妻を娶るなかれ
4 but that thou go to my lond and kynrede, and therof take a wijf to my sone Ysaac.
汝わが故國に往き吾親族に到りて吾子イサクのために妻を娶れ
5 The seruaunt aunswerde, If the womman nyle come with me in to this lond, whether Y owe lede ayen thi sone to the place, fro which thou yedist out?
僕彼に言けるは倘女我に從ひて此地に來ることを好まざる事あらん時は我爾の子を彼汝が出來りし地に導き歸るべきか
6 Abraham seide, Be war, lest ony tyme thou lede ayen thidur my sone;
アブラハム彼に曰けるは汝愼みて吾子を彼處に携かへるなかれ
7 the Lord of heuene that took me fro the hows of my fadir, and fro the lond of my birthe, which spak to me, and swoor, and seide, Y schal yyue this lond to thi seed, he schal sende his aungel bifore thee, and thou schalt take fro thennus a wijf to my sone; forsothe if the womman nyle sue thee,
天の神ヱホバ我を導きて吾父の家とわが親族の地を離れしめ我に語り我に誓ひて汝の子孫に此地を與へんと言たまひし者其使を遣して汝に先たしめたまはん汝彼處より我子に妻を娶るべし
8 thou schalt not be holdun bi the ooth; netheles lede not ayen my sone thidur.
若女汝に從ひ來る事を好ざる時は汝吾此誓を解るべし唯我子を彼處に携へかへるなかれ
9 Therfore the seruaunt puttide his hond vndur the hipe of Abraham, his lord, and swoor to him on this word.
是に於て僕手を其主人アブラハムの髀の下に置て此事について彼に誓へり
10 And he took ten camels of the floc of his lord, and yede forth, and bar with him of alle the goodis of his lord; and he yede forth, and cam to Mesopotanye, to the citee of Nachor.
斯て僕其主人の駱駝の中より十頭の駱駝を取りて出たてり即ち其主人の諸の佳物を手にとりて起てメソポタミアに往きナホルの邑に至り
11 And whanne he hadde maad the camels to reste with out the citee, bisidis the pit of watir, in the euentid, in that tyme in which wymmen ben wont to go out to drawe watir,
其駱駝を邑の外にて井の傍に跪伏しめたり其時は黄昏にて婦女等の水汲にいづる時なりき
12 he seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, Y biseche, meete with me to dai, and do mersi with my lord Abraham.
斯して彼言けるは吾主人アブラハムの神ヱホバよ願くは今日我にその者を逢しめわが主人アブラハムに恩惠を施し給へ
13 Lo! Y stonde nyy the welle of watir, and the douytris of enhabiters of this citee schulen go out to drawe watir;
我この水井の傍に立ち邑の人の女等水を汲に出づ
14 therfor the damysel to which Y schal seie, Bowe doun thi watir pot that Y drynke, and schal answere, Drynke thou, but also Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels, thilke it is which thou hast maad redi to thi seruaunt Ysaac; and bi this Y schal vndirstonde that thou hast do mersi with my lord Abraham.
我童女に向ひて請ふ汝の瓶をかたむけて我に飮しめよと言んに彼答へて飮め我また汝の駱駝にも飮しめんと言ば彼は汝が僕イサクの爲に定め給ひし者なるべし然れば我汝の吾主人に恩惠を施し給ふを知らん
15 And he hadde not yit fillid the wordis with ynne hym silf, and lo! Rebecca, the douytir of Batuel, sone of Melcha, wijf of Nachor, brothir of Abraham, yede out, hauynge a watir pot in hir schuldre;
彼語ふことを終るまへに視よリベカ瓶を肩にのせて出きたる彼はアブラハムの兄弟ナホルの妻ミルカの子ベトエルに生れたる者なり
16 a damysel ful comeli, and faireste virgyn, and vnknowun of man. Sotheli sche cam doun to the welle, and fillide the watir pot, and turnide ayen.
其童女は觀に甚だ美しく且處女にして未だ人に適しことあらず彼井に下り其瓶に水を盈て上りしかば
17 And the seruaunt mette hir, and seide, Yyue thou to me a litil of the watir of thi pot to drynke.
僕はせゆきて之にあひ請ふ我をして汝の瓶より少許の水を飮しめよといひけるに
18 Which answerde, Drynke thou, my lord. And anoon sche dide doun the watir pot on hir schuldre, and yaf drynk to hym.
彼主よ飮たまへといひて乃ち急ぎ其瓶を手におろして之にのましめたりしが
19 And whanne he hadde drunke, sche addide, But also Y schal drawe watir to thi camelis, til alle drynken.
飮せをはりて言ふ汝の駱駝のためにも其飮をはるまで水を汲て飽しめん
20 And sche helde out the watir pot in trouyis, and ran ayen to the pit, to drawe watir, and sche yaf watir drawun to alle the camels.
急ぎて其瓶を水鉢にあけ又汲んとて井にはせゆき其諸の駱駝のために汲みたり
21 Sotheli he bihelde hir priueli, and wolde wite whether the Lord hadde sped his wei, ethir nay.
其人之を見つめヱホバが其途に幸福をくだしたまふや否やをしらんとして默し居たり
22 Therfor after that the camels drunken, the man brouyte forth goldun eere ryngis, weiynge twei siclis, and as many bies of the arm, in the weiyte of ten siclis.
茲に駱駝飮をはりしかば其人重半シケルの金の鼻環一箇と重十シケルの金の手釧二箇をとりて
23 And he seide to hir, Whos douyter art thou? schewe thou to me, is ony place in the hows of thi fadir to dwelle?
言けるは汝は誰の女なるや請ふ我に告よ汝の父の家に我等が宿る隙地ありや
24 Which answerde, Y am the douyter of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him.
女彼に曰けるは我はミルカがナホルに生みたる子ベトエルの女なり
25 And sche addide, seiynge, Also ful myche of prouendre and of hey is at vs, and a large place to dwelle.
又彼にいひけるは家には藁も飼草も多くあり且宿る隙地もあり
26 The man bowide hym silf,
是に於て其人伏てヱホバを拜み
27 and worschipide the Lord, and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God took not aweie his mersy and treuthe fro my lord, and ledde me bi riyt weie in to the hous of the brother of my lord.
言けるは吾主人アブラハムの神ヱホバは讃美べきかなわが主人に慈惠と眞實とを缺きたまはず我途にありしにヱホバ我を吾主人の兄弟の家にみちびきたまへり
28 And so the damesel ran, and telde in the hous of hir modir alle thingis whiche sche hadde herd.
茲に童女走行て其母の家に此等の事を告たり
29 Sotheli Rebecca hadde a brothir, Laban bi name, whiche yede out hastili to the man, where he was with out forth.
リベカに一人の兄あり其名をラバンといふラバンはせいで井にゆきて其人の許につく
30 And whanne he hadde seyn the eere ryngis and byes of the arm in the hondis of his sister, and hadde herd alle the wordis of hir tellynge, the man spak to me these thingis, he cam to the man that stood bisidis the camels, and nyy the welle of watir,
すなはち彼鼻環および其妹の手の手釧を見又其妹リベカが其人斯我に語りといふを聞て其人の所に到り見るに井の側らにて駱駝の傍にたちゐたれば
31 and seide to him, Entre thou, the blessid of the Lord; whi stondist thou with outforth? I haue maad redi the hows, and a place to thi camels.
之に言けるは汝ヱホバに祝るる者よ請ふ入れ奚ぞ外にたつや我家を備へ且駱駝のために所をそなへたり
32 And he brouyte hym in to the ynne, and unsadlide the camels, and yaf prouendre, and hey, and watir to waische the feet of camels, and of men that camen with hym.
是に於て其人家にいりぬラバン乃ち其駱駝の負を釋き藁と飼草を駱駝にあたへ又水をあたへて其人の足と其從者の足をあらはしめ
33 And breed was set forth in his siyt, which seide, Y schal not ete til Y speke my wordis. He answerde to the man, Speke thou.
斯して彼の前に食をそなへたるに彼言ふ我はわが事をのぶるまでは食はじとラバン語れといひければ
34 And the man seide, Y am the seruaunt of Abraham,
彼言ふわれはアブラハムの僕なり
35 and the Lord hath blessid my lord greetli, and he is maad greet; and God yaf to hym scheep, and oxun, siluer, and gold, seruauntis, and handmaides, camels, and assis.
ヱホバ大にわが主人をめぐみたまひて大なる者とならしめ又羊牛金銀僕婢駱駝驢馬をこれにたまへり
36 And Sare, `the wijf of my lord, childide a sone to my lord in his eelde, and he yaf alle thingis that he hadde to that sone.
わが主人の妻サラ年老てのちわが主人に男子をうみければ主人其所有を悉く之に與ふ
37 And my lord chargide me greetli, and seide, Thou schalt not take to my sone a wijf of the douytris of Canaan, in whos lond Y dwelle,
わが主人我を誓せて言ふ吾すめるカナンの地の人の女子の中よりわが子に妻を娶るなかれ
38 but thou schalt go to the hous of my fadir, and of myn kynrede thou schalt take a wijf to my sone.
汝わが父の家にゆきわが親族にいたりわが子のために妻をめとれと
39 Forsothe Y answerde to my lord, What if the womman nyle come with me?
我わが主人にいひけるは倘女我にしたがひて來ずば如何
40 He seide, The Lord in whose siyt Y go, schal sende his aungel with thee, and he schal dresse thi weie; and thou schalt take a wijf to my sone of my kynrede, and of my fadris hows.
彼我にいひけるは吾事ふるところのヱホバ其使者を汝とともに遣はして汝の途に幸福を降したまはん爾わが親族わが父の家より吾子に妻をめとるべし
41 Thou schalt be innocent fro my curs, whanne thou comest to my kynesmen, and thei yyuen not `the womman to thee.
汝わが親族に至れる時はわが誓を解さるべし若彼等汝にあたへずば汝はわが誓をゆるさるべしと
42 Therfor Y cam to day to the welle of watir, and Y seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, if thou hast dressid my weie in which Y go now, lo!
我今日井に至りて謂けらくわが主人アブラハムの神ヱホバねがはくはわがゆく途に幸福を降したまへ
43 Y stonde bisidis the welle of watir, and the maide that schal go out to drawe watir herith me, yyue thou to me a litil of water to drynke of thi pot,
我はこの井水の傍に立つ水を汲にいづる處女あらん時我彼にむかひて請ふ汝の瓶より少許の水を我にのましめよと言んに
44 and seith to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal drawe watir to thi camels, thilke is the womman which the Lord hath maad redi to the sone of my lord.
若我に答へて汝飮め我亦汝の駱駝のためにも汲んと言ば是ヱホバがわが主人の子のために定たまひし女なるべし
45 While Y turnede in thouyte these thingis with me, Rebecca apperide, comynge with a pot which sche bare in the schuldre; and sche yede doun to the welle, and drowe watir. And Y seide to hir, Yyue thou a litil to me to drynke; and sche hastide,
我心の中に語ふことを終るまへにリベカ其瓶を肩にのせて出來り井にくだりて水を汲みたるにより我彼に請ふ我にのましめよと言ければ
46 and dide doun the pot of the schuldre, and seide to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels; Y drank, and watride the camels.
彼急ぎ其瓶を肩よりおろしていひけるは飮めまた汝の駱駝にものましめんと是に於て我飮しが彼また駱駝にものましめたり
47 And Y axide hir, and seide, Whos douytir art thou? Which answerde, Y am the douytir of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him. And so Y hangide eere ryngis to ourne hir face, and Y puttide bies of the arm in hir hondis,
我彼に問て汝は誰の女なるやといひければミルカがナホルに生たる子ベトエルの女なりといふ是に於て我其鼻に環をつけ其手に手釧をつけたり
48 and lowliche Y worschipide the Lord, and Y blessid the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God ledde me bi riyt weie, that Y schulde take the douytir of the brothir of my lord to his sone.
而して我伏てヱホバを拜み吾主人アブラハムの神ヱホバを頌美たりヱホバ我を正き途に導きてわが主人の兄弟の女を其子のために娶しめんとしたまへばなり
49 Wherfor if ye don mercy and treuthe with `my lord, schewe ye to me; ellis if othir thing plesith, also seie ye this, that Y go to the riyt side ethir to the left side.
されば汝等若わが主人にむかひて慈惠と眞誠をもて事をなさんと思はば我に告よ然ざるも亦我に告よ然ば我右か左におもむくをえん
50 Laban and Batuel answeriden, The word is gon out of the Lord; we moun not speke ony other thing with thee without his plesaunce.
ラバンとベトエル答て言けるは此事はヱホバより出づ我等汝に善惡を言ふあたはず
51 Lo! Rebecca is bifore thee; take thou hir, and go forth, and be sche wijf of the sone of thi lord, as the Lord spak.
視よリベカ汝の前にをる携へてゆき彼をしてヱホバの言たまひし如く汝の主人の子の妻とならしめよ
52 And whanne the child of Abraham hadde herd this, he felde doun, and worschipide the Lord in erthe.
アブラハムの僕彼等の言を聞て地に伏てヱホバを拜めり
53 And whanne vessels of siluer, and of gold, and clothis weren brouyt forth, he yaf tho to Rebecca for yifte, and he yaf yiftis to hir britheren, and modir.
是に於て僕銀の飾品金の飾品および衣服をとりいだしてリベカに與へ亦其兄と母に寶物をあたへたり
54 And whanne a feeste was maad, thei eeten and drunken to gider, and dwelliden there. Forsothe the child roos eerli, and spak, Delyuere ye me, that Y go to my lord.
是に於て彼および其從者等食飮して宿りしが朝起たる時彼言我をして吾主人に還らしめよ
55 Hir britheren and modir answerden, The damesele dwelle nameli ten daies at vs, and aftirward sche schal go forth.
リベカの兄と母言けるは童女を數日の間少くも十日我等と偕にをらしめよしかるのち彼ゆくべし
56 The child seide, Nyle ye holde me, for the Lord hath dressid my weie; delyuere ye me, that I go to my lord.
彼人之に言ヱホバ吾途に福祉をくだしたまひたるなれば我を阻むるなかれ我を歸してわが主人に往しめよ
57 And thei seiden, Clepe we the damysele, and axe we hir wille.
彼等いひけるは童女をよびて其言を問んと
58 And whanne sche was clepid, and cam, thei axiden, Wolt thou go with this man?
即ちリベカを呼て之に言けるは汝此人と共に往や彼言ふ往ん
59 And sche seide, Y schal go. Therfor they delyueriden hir, and hir nurse, and the seruaunt of Abraham, and hise felowis, and wischiden prosperitees to her sister,
是に於て彼等妹リベカと其乳媼およびアブラハムの僕と其從者を遣り去しめたり
60 and seiden, Thou art oure sister, encreesse thou in to a thousand thousandis, and thi seed gete the yatis of hise enemyes.
即ち彼等リベカを祝して之にいひけるはわれらの妹よ汝千萬の人の母となれ汝の子孫をして其仇の門を獲しめよ
61 Therfor Rebecca and hir damesels stieden on the camels, and sueden the man, which turnede ayen hasteli to his lord.
是に於てリベカ起て其童女等とともに駱駝にのりて其人にしたがひ往く僕乃ちリベカを導きてさりぬ
62 In that tyme Ysaac walkide bi the weie that ledith to the pit, whos name is of hym that lyueth and seeth; for he dwellide in the south lond.
茲にイサク、ラハイロイの井の路より來れり南の國に住居たればなり
63 And he yede out to thenke in the feeld, for the dai was `bowid thanne; and whanne he hadde reisid the iyen, he seiy camels comynge afer.
しかしてイサク黄昏に野に出て默想をなしたりしが目を擧て見しに駱駝の來るあり
64 And whanne Ysaac was seyn, Rebecca liyte doun of the camel,
リベカ目をあげてイサクを見駱駝をおりて
65 and seide to the child, Who is that man that cometh bi the feeld in to the metyng of vs? And the child seide to hir, He is my lord. And sche took soone a mentil, and hilide hir.
僕にいひけるは野をあゆみて我等にむかひ來る者は何人なるぞ僕わが主人なりといひければリベカ覆衣をとりて身をおほへり
66 Forsothe the seruaunt tolde to his lord Ysaac alle thingis whiche he hadde do;
茲に僕其凡てなしたる事をイサクに告ぐ
67 which Ysaac ledde hir in to the tabernacle of Sare, his modir, and took hir to wijf; and so myche he louede hir, that he temperide the sorewe which bifelde of the deeth of the modir.
イサク、リベカを其母サラの天幕に携至りリベカを娶りて其妻となしてこれを愛したりイサクは母にわかれて後茲に慰籍を得たり
