< Genesis 42 >
1 Forsothe Jacob herde that foodis weren seeld in Egipt, and he seide to hise sones, Whi ben ye necgligent?
ヤコブ、エジプトに穀物あるを見しかばその子等にいひけるは汝等なんぞたがひに面を見あはするや
2 Y herde that wheete is seeld in Egipt, go ye doun, and bie ye necessaries to vs, that we moun lyue, and be not wastid bi nedynesse.
ヤコブまたいふ我エジプトに穀物ありと聞り彼處にくだりて彼處より我等のために買きたれ然らばわれら生るを得て死をまぬかれんと
3 Therfor ten britheren of Joseph yeden doun to bie wheete in Egipt,
ヨセフの十人の兄弟エジプトにて穀物をかはんとて下りゆけり
4 and Beniamyn was withholdun of Jacob at hoome, that seide to hise britheren, Lest perauenture in the weie he suffre ony yuel.
されどヨセフの弟ベニヤミンはヤコブこれをその兄弟とともに遣さざりきおそらくは災難かれの身にのぞむことあらんと思たればなり
5 Sotheli thei entriden in to the lond of Egipt, with othere men that yeden to bie; forsothe hungur was in the lond of Canaan.
イスラエルの子等穀物を買んとて來る者とともに來る其はカナンの地に饑饉ありたればなり
6 And Joseph was prince of Egipt, and at his wille whetis weren seeld to puplis. And whanne hise britheren hadden worschipid hym,
時にヨセフは國の總督にして國の凡の人に賣ことをなせりヨセフの兄弟等來りてその前に地に伏て拜す
7 and he hadde knowe hem, he spak hardere as to aliens, and axide hem, Fro whennus camen ye? Whiche answeriden, Fro the lond of Canaan, that we bie necessaries to lyiflode.
ヨセフその兄弟を見てこれを知たれども知ざる者のごとくして荒々しく之にものいふ即ち彼等に汝等は何處より來れるやといへば彼等いふ糧食を買んためにカナンの地より來れりと
8 And netheles he knewe the britheren, and he was not knowun of hem,
ヨセフはその兄弟をしりたれども彼等はヨセフをしらざりき
9 and he bithouyte on the dremys whiche he seiy sumtyme. And he seide to hem, Ye ben aspieris, ye camen to se the feblere thingis of the lond.
ヨセフその昔に彼等の事を夢たる夢をを憶いだし彼等に言けるは汝等は間者にして此國の隙を窺んとて來れるなり
10 Whiche seiden, Lord, it is not so, but thi seruauntis camen to bie metis;
彼等之にいひけるはわが主よ然らず唯糧食をかはんとて僕等は來れるなり
11 alle we ben the sones of o man, we comen pesible, and thi seruauntis ymaginen not ony yuel.
我等はみな一箇の人の子にして篤實なる者なり僕等は間者にあらず
12 To `whiche he answeride, It is in other maner, ye camen to se the feble thingis of the lond.
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは否汝等は此地の隙を窺んとて來れるなり
13 And thei seiden, `We twelue britheren, thi seruauntis, ben sones of o man in the lond of Canaan; the leeste is with oure fadir, an other is not `on erthe.
彼等いひけるは僕等は十二人の兄弟にしてカナンの地の一箇の人の子なり季子は今日父とともにをる又一人はをらずなりぬ
14 This it is, he seide, that Y spak to you,
ヨセフかれらにいひけるはわが汝等につげて汝等は間者なりといひしはこの事なり
15 ye ben aspieris, riyt now Y schal take experience of you, bi the helthe of Farao ye schulen not go fro hennus, til youre leeste brother come; sende ye oon of you,
汝等斯してその眞實をあかすべしパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等の末弟ここに來るにあらざれば汝等は此をいづるをえじ
16 that he brynge hym, forsothe ye schulen be in boondis, til tho thingis that ye seiden ben preued, whether tho ben false ether trewe; ellis, bi the helthe of Farao, ye ben aspieris.
汝等の一人をやりて汝等の弟をつれきたらしめよ汝等をば繋ぎおきて汝等の言をためし汝らの中に眞實あるや否をみんパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等はかならず間者なりと
17 Therfor he bitook hem to kepyng thre daies; sotheli in the thridde dai,
彼等を皆ともに三日のあひだ幽囚おけり
18 whanne thei weren led out of prisoun, he seide, Do ye that that Y seide, and ye schulen lyue, for Y drede God;
三日におよびてヨセフ彼等にいひけるは我神を畏る汝等是なして生命をえよ
19 if ye ben pesible, o brother of you be boundun in prisoun; forsothe go ye, and bere wheetis, whiche ye bouyten,
汝等もし篤實なる者ならば汝らの兄弟の一人をしてこの獄に繋れしめ汝等は穀物をたづさへゆきてなんぢらの家々の饑をすくへ
20 in to youre housis, and brynge ye youre leeste brother to me, that Y may preue youre wordis, and ye die not. Thei diden as he seide,
但し汝らの末弟を我につれきたるべしさすればなんぢらの言の眞實あらはれて汝等死をまぬかるべし彼等すなはち斯なせり
21 and thei spaken togidere, Skilfuli we suffren these thingis, for we synneden ayens oure brother, and we seiyen the anguysch of his soule, while he preiede vs, and we herden not; herfore this tribulacioun cometh on vs.
茲に彼らたがひに言けるは我等は弟の事によりて信に罪あり彼等は彼が我らに只管にねがひし時にその心の苦を見ながら之を聽ざりき故にこの苦われらにのぞめるなり
22 Of which oon, Ruben, seide, Whether Y seide not to yow, Nyle ye do synne ayens the child, and ye herden not me? lo! his blood is souyt.
ルベンかれらに對ていひけるは我なんぢらにいひて童子に罪ををかすなかれといひしにあらずや然るに汝等きかざりき是故に視よ亦彼の血をながせし罪をたださると
23 Sotheli thei wisten not that Joseph vndirstood, for he spak to hem by interpretour.
彼等はヨセフが之を解するをしらざりき其は互に通辨をもちひたればなり
24 And he turnede awei hym silf a litil and wepte; and he turnede ayen, and spak to hem.
ヨセフ彼等を離れゆきて哭き復かれらにかへりて之とかたり遂にシメオンを彼らの中より取りその目のまへにて之を縛れり
25 And he took Symeon, and boond hym, while thei weren present; and he comaundide the mynystris, that thei schulden fille her sackis with wheete, and that thei schulden putte the money `of alle in her baggis, and ouer this yyue metis in the weie; whiche diden so.
而してヨセフ命じてその器に穀物をみたしめ其人々の金を嚢に返さしめ又途の食を之にあたへしむヨセフ斯かれらになせり
26 And thei `baren wetis on her assis, and yeden forth,
彼等すなはち穀物を驢馬におはせて其處をさりしが
27 and whanne the sak of oon was opened that he schulde yyue meete to the werk beeste in the yn, he bihelde the money in the mouth of the bagge,
其一人旅邸にて驢馬に糧を與んとて嚢をひらき其金を見たり其は嚢の口にありければなり
28 and seide to his britheren, My monei is yoldun to me, lo! it is had in the bagge; and thei weren astonyed, and troblid, and seiden togidere, What thing is this that God hath doon to us.
彼その兄弟にいひけるは吾金は返してあり視よ嚢の中にありと是において彼等膽を消し懼れてたがひに神の我らになしたまふ此事は何ぞやといへり
29 And thei camen to Jacob, her fadir, in the loond of Canaan, and telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden,
かくて彼等カナンの地にかへりて父ヤコブの所にいたり其身にありし事等を悉く之につげていひけるは
30 The lord of the lond spak harde to vs, and gesside that we weren aspieris of the prouynce;
彼國の主荒々しく我等にものいひ我らをもて國を偵ふ者となせり
31 to whom we answeriden, We ben pesible, nether we purposen ony tresouns;
我ら彼にいふ我等は篤實なる者なり間者にあらず
32 we ben twelue britheren, gendrid of o fadir, oon is not `on erthe, the leeste dwellith with the fadir in the lond of Canaan.
我らは十二人の兄弟にして同じ父の子なり一人はをらずなり季のは今日父とともにカナンの地にありと
33 And he seide to vs, Thus Y schal preue that ye ben pesible; leeffe ye o brother of you with me, and take ye metis nedeful to youre housis, and go ye, and brynge ye to me youre leeste brother,
國の主なるその人われらにいひけるは我かくして汝等の篤實なるをしらん汝等の兄弟の一人を吾もとにのこし糧食をたづさへゆきて汝らの家々の饑をすくへ
34 that Y wite that ye ben not aspieris, and that ye moun resseyue this brother which is holdun in boondis, and that fro thennus forth ye haue licence to bie what thingis ye wolen.
しかして汝らの季の弟をわが許につれきたれ然れば我なんぢらが間者にあらずして篤實なる者たるをしらん我なんぢらの兄弟を汝等に返し汝等をしてこの國にて交易をなさしむべしと
35 While these thingis weren seide, whanne alle schedden out wheetis, thei founden money boundun in `the mouth of sackis. And whanne alle togidere weren aferd,
茲に彼等その嚢を傾たるに視よ各人の金包その嚢のなかにあり彼等とその父金包を見ておそれたり
36 the fadir Jacob seide, Ye han maad me to be with out children; Joseph is not alyue, Symeon is holdun in bondis, ye schulen take a wey fro me Beniamyn; alle these yuels felden in me.
その父ヤコブ彼等にいひけるは汝等は我をして子を喪はしむヨセフはをらずなりシメオンもをらずなりたるにまたベニヤミンを取んとす是みなわが身にかかるなり
37 To whom Ruben answeride, Sle thou my twei sones, if Y shal not brynge hym ayen to thee; take thou hym in myn hond, and Y schal restore hym to thee.
ルベン父に告ていふ我もし彼を汝につれかへらずば吾ふたりの子を殺せ彼をわが手にわたせ我之をなんぢにつれかへらん
38 And Jacob seide, My sone schal not go doun with you; his brother is deed, he aloone is left; if ony aduersite schal bifalle `to hym in the lond to which ye schulen go, ye schulen lede forth myn hoore heeris with sorewe to hellis. (Sheol )
ヤコブいひけるはわが子はなんぢらとともに下るべからず彼の兄は死て彼ひとり遺たればなり若なんぢらが行ところの途にて災難かれの身におよばば汝等はわが白髮をして悲みて墓にくだらしむるにいたらん (Sheol )
