Genesis 18
1 And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the day;
ヱホバ、マムレの橡林にてアブラハムに顯現たまへり彼は日の熱き時刻天幕の入口に坐しゐたりしが
2 and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth,
目を擧て見たるに視よ三人の人其前に立り彼見て天幕の入口より趨り行て之を迎へ
3 And he saith, 'My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant;
身を地に鞠めて言けるは我が主よ我若汝の目のまへに恩を得たるならば請ふ僕を通り過すなかれ
4 let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your feet, and recline under the tree;
請ふ少許の水を取きたらしめ汝等の足を濯ひて樹の下に休憇たまへ
5 and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart; afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your servant;' and they say, 'So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.'
我一口のパンを取來らん汝等心を慰めて然る後過ゆくべし汝等僕の所に來ればなり彼等言ふ汝が言るごとく爲せ
6 And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and saith, 'Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make cakes;'
是においてアブラハム天幕に急ぎいりてサラの許に至りて言けるは速に細麺三セヤを取り捏てパンを作るべしと
7 and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he hasteth to prepare it;
而してアブラハム牛の群に趨ゆき犢の柔にして善き者を取りきたりて少者に付しければ急ぎて之を調理ふ
8 and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is standing by them under the tree, and they do eat.
かくてアブラハム牛酪と牛乳および其調理へたる犢を取て彼等のまへに供へ樹の下にて其側に立り彼等乃ち食へり
9 And they say unto him, 'Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he saith, 'Lo — in the tent;'
彼等アブラハムに言けるは爾の妻サラは何處にあるや彼言ふ天幕にあり
10 and he saith, 'returning I return unto thee, about the time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.'
其一人言ふ明年の今頃我必ず爾に返るべし爾の妻サラに男子あらんサラ其後なる天幕の入口にありて聞ゐたり
11 And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which is behind him;
抑アブラハムとサラは年邁み老いたる者にしてサラには婦人の常の經已に息たり
12 and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days — the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;
是故にサラ心に哂ひて言けるは我は老衰へ吾が主も亦老たる後なれば我に樂あるべけんや
13 and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, 'After I have waxed old I have had pleasure! — my lord also [is] old!'
ヱホバ、アブラハムに言たまひけるは何故にサラは哂ひて我老たれば果して子を生ことあらんと言ふや
14 And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, 'Why [is] this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really — I bear — and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'
ヱホバに豈爲し難き事あらんや時至らば我定めたる期に爾に歸るべしサラに男子あらんと
15 And Sarah denieth, saying, 'I did not laugh;' for she hath been afraid; and He saith, 'Nay, but thou didst laugh.'
サラ懼れたれば承ずして我哂はずと言へりヱホバ言たまひけるは否汝哂へるなり
16 And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away;
斯て其人々彼處より起てソドムの方を望みければアブラハム彼等を送らんとて倶に行り
17 and Jehovah said, 'Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,
ヱホバ言ひ給けるは我爲んとする事をアブラハムに隱すべけんや
18 and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?
アブラハムは必ず大なる強き國民となりて天下の民皆彼に由て福を獲に至るべきに在ずや
19 for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.'
其は我彼をして其後の兒孫と家族とに命じヱホバの道を守りて公儀と公道を行しめん爲に彼をしれり是ヱホバ、アブラハムに其曾て彼に就て言し事を行はん爲なり
20 And Jehovah saith, 'The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah — because great; and their sin — because exceeding grievous:
ヱホバ又言給ふソドムとゴモラの號呼大なるに因り又其罪甚だ重に因て
21 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which is coming unto Me they have done completely — and if not — I know;'
我今下りて其號呼の我に逹れる如くかれら全く行ひたりしやを見んとす若しからずば我知るに至らんと
22 and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.
其人々其處より身を旋してソドムに赴むけりアブラハムは尚ほヱホバのまへに立り
23 And Abraham draweth nigh and saith, 'Dost Thou also consume righteous with wicked?
アブラハム近よりて言けるは爾は義者をも惡者と倶に滅ぼしたまふや
24 peradventure there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; dost Thou also consume, and not bear with the place for the sake of the fifty — the righteous who [are] in its midst?
若邑の中に五十人の義者あるも汝尚ほ其處を滅ぼし其中の五十人の義者のためにこれを恕したまはざるや
25 Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been — as the righteous so the wicked — far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'
なんぢ斯の如く爲て義者と惡者と倶に殺すが如きは是あるまじき事なり又義者と惡者を均等するが如きもあるまじき事なり天下を鞫く者は公儀を行ふ可にあらずや
26 And Jehovah saith, 'If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for their sake.'
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我若ソドムに於て邑の中に五十人の義者を看ば其人々のために其處を盡く恕さん
27 And Abraham answereth and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord, and I — dust and ashes;
アブラハム應へていひけるは我は塵と灰なれども敢て我主に言上す
28 peradventure there are lacking five of the fifty righteous — dost Thou destroy for five the whole of the city?' and He saith, 'I destroy [it] not, if I find there forty and five.'
若五十人の義者の中五人缺たらんに爾五人の缺たるために邑を盡く滅ぼしたまふやヱホバ言たまひけるは我若彼處に四十五人を看ば滅さざるべし
29 And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith, 'Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, because of the forty.'
アブラハム又重ねてヱホバに言上して曰けるは若彼處に四十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我四十人のために之をなさじ
30 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there thirty?' and He saith, 'I do [it] not, if I find there thirty.'
アブラハム曰ひけるは請ふわが主よ怒らずして言しめたまへ若彼處に三十人看えなば如何ヱホバいひたまふ我三十人を彼處に看ば之を爲じ
31 And he saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.'
アブラハム言ふ我あへてわが主に言上す若彼處に二十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我二十人のためにほろぼさじ
32 And he saith, 'Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are found there ten?' and He saith, 'I do not destroy [it], because of the ten.'
アブラハム言ふ請ふわが主怒らずして今一度言しめたまへ若かしこに十人看えなば如何ヱホバ言たまふ我十人のためにほろぼさじ
33 And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place.
ヱホバ、アブラハムと言ふことを終てゆきたまへりアブラハムおのれの所にかへりぬ
