Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
ヤコブはカナンの地に住り即ちその父が寄寓し地なり
2 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil unto their father.
ヤコブの傳は左のごとしヨセフ十七歳にしてその兄弟と偕に羊を牧ふヨセフは童子にしてその父の妻ビルハの子およびジルパの子と侶たりしが彼等の惡き事を父につぐ
3 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
ヨセフは老年子なるが故にイスラエルその諸の兄弟よりも深くこれを愛しこれがために綵る衣を製れり
4 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
その兄弟等父がその諸の兄弟よりも深く彼を愛するを見て彼を惡み穩和に彼にものいふことを得せざりき
5 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
茲にヨセフ夢をみてその兄弟に告ければ彼等愈これを惡めり
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは請ふわが夢たる此夢を聽け
7 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
我等田の中に禾束をむすび居たるにわが禾束おき且立り而して汝等の禾束環りたちてわが禾束を拜せり
8 And his brethren say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words.
その兄弟等之にいひけるは汝眞にわれらの君となるや眞に我等ををさむるにいたるやとその夢とその言のために益これを惡めり
9 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves to me.'
ヨセフ又一の夢をみて之をその兄弟に述ていひけるは我また夢をみたるに日と月と十一の星われを拜せりと
10 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves to thee, to the earth?'
則ちこれをその父と兄弟に述ければ父かれを戒めて彼にいふ汝が夢しこの夢は何ぞや我と汝の母となんぢの兄弟と實にゆきて地に鞠て汝を拜するにいたらんやと
11 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.
斯しかばその兄弟かれを嫉めり然どその父はこの言をおぼえたり
12 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
茲にその兄弟等シケムにゆきて父の羊を牧ゐたりしかば
13 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
イスラエル、ヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟はシケムにて羊を牧をるにあらずや來れ汝を彼等につかはさんヨセフ父にいふ我ここにあり
14 and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.
父かれにいひけるは請ふ往て汝の兄弟と群の恙なきや否を見てかへりて我につげよと彼をヘブロンの谷より遣はしければ遂にシケムに至る。
15 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh him, saying, 'What seekest thou?'
或人かれに遇ふに彼野にさまよひをりしかば其人かれに問て汝何をたづぬるやといひければ
16 and he saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
彼いふ我はわが兄弟等をたづぬ請ふかれらが羊をかひをる所をわれに告よ
17 And the man saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
その人いひけるは彼等は此をされり我かれらがドタンにゆかんといふを聞たりと是に於てヨセフその兄弟の後をおひゆきドタンにて之に遇ふ
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.
ヨセフの彼等に近かざる前に彼ら之を遙に見てこれを殺さんと謀り
19 And they say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
互にいひけるは視よ作夢者きたる
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
去來彼をころして阱に投いれ或惡き獸これを食たりと言ん而して彼の夢の如何になるかを觀るべし
21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;'
ルベン聞てヨセフを彼等の手より拯ひださんとして言けるは我等これを殺すべからず
22 and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.
ルベンまた彼らにいひけるは血をながすなかれ之を曠野の此阱に投いれて手をこれにつくるなかれと是は之を彼等の手よりすくひだして父に歸んとてなりき
23 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
茲にヨセフ兄弟の許に到りければ彼等ヨセフの衣即ちその着たる綵る衣を褫ぎ
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
彼を執て阱に投いれたり阱は空にしてその中に水あらざりき
25 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going to take [them] down to Egypt.
斯して彼等坐てパンを食ひ目をあげて見しに一群のイシマエル人駱駝に香物と乳香と沒藥をおはせてエジプトにくだりゆかんとてギレアデより來る
26 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed his blood?
ユダその兄弟にいひけるは我儕弟をころしてその血を匿すも何の益かあらん
27 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
去來彼をイシマエル人に賣ん彼は我等の兄弟われらの肉なればわれらの手をかれにつくべからずと兄弟等これを善とす
28 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into Egypt.
時にミデアンの商旅經過ければヨセフを阱よりひきあげ銀二十枚にてヨセフをイシマエル人に賣り彼等すなはちヨセフをエジプトにたづさへゆきぬ
29 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
茲にルベンかへりて阱にいたり見しにヨセフ阱にをらざりしかばその衣を裂き
30 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
兄弟の許にかへりて言ふ童子はをらず嗚呼我何處にゆくべきや
31 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
斯て彼等ヨセフの衣をとり牡山羊の羔をころしてその衣を血に濡し
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?'
その綵る衣を父におくり遣していひけるは我等これを得たりなんぢの子の衣なるや否を知れと
33 And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn is Joseph!'
父これを知りていふわが子の衣なり惡き獸彼をくらへりヨセフはかならずさかれしならんと
34 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,
ヤコブその衣を裂き麻布を腰にまとひ久くその子のためになげけり
35 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol h7585)
その子女みな起てかれを慰むれどもその慰謝をうけずして我は哀きつつ陰府にくだりて我子のもとにゆかんといふ斯その父かれのために哭ぬ (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
偖ミデアン人はエジプトにてパロの侍衞の長ポテパルにヨセフを賣り
