Genesis 42

1 And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, 'Why do you look at each other?'

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 he saith also, 'Lo, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live and do not die;'

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 and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt,

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 Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob hath not sent with his brethren, for he said, 'Lest mischief meet him.'

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 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land 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 is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow themselves to him — face to the earth.

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 Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, 'From whence have ye come?' and they say, 'From the land of Canaan — to buy food.'

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 Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not discerned him,

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 Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, 'Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.'

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 And they say unto him, 'No, my lord, but thy servants have come to buy food;

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 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men; thy servants have not been spies;'

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 and he saith unto them, 'No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;'

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 they say, 'Thy servants [are] twelve brethren; we [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one [is] with our father to-day, and the one is not.'

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 And Joseph saith unto them, 'This [is] that which I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies,

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 by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from this — except by your young brother coming hither;

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 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye, remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be with you: and if not — Pharaoh liveth! surely ye [are] spies;'

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 and he removeth them unto charge three days.

彼等を皆ともに三日のあひだ幽囚おけり

18 And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, 'This do and live; God I fear!

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 [are] right men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn [for] the famine of your houses,

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 and your young brother ye bring unto me, and your words are established, and ye die not;' and they do so.

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 they say one unto another, 'Verily we [are] guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.'

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 And Reuben answereth them, saying, 'Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.'

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 And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the interpreter [is] between them;

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 turneth round from them, and weepeth, and turneth back unto them, and speaketh unto them, and taketh from them Simeon, and bindeth him before their eyes.

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 Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels [with] corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them 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 they lift up their corn upon their asses, and go from thence,

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 the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it [is] in the mouth of his bag,

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 he saith unto his brethren, 'My money hath been put back, and also, lo, in my bag:' and their heart goeth out, and they tremble, one to another saying, 'What [is] this God hath done 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 they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying,

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 man, the lord of the land, hath spoken with us sharp things, and maketh us as spies of the land;

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 and we say unto him, We [are] right men, we have not been spies,

我ら彼にいふ我等は篤實なる者なり間者にあらず

32 we [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is not, and the young one [is] to-day with our father in the land 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 the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this I know that ye [are] right men — one of your brethren leave with me, and [for] the famine of your houses take ye and go,

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 and bring your young brother unto me, and I know that ye [are] not spies, but ye [are] right men; your brother I give to you, and ye trade with the land.'

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 And it cometh to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and lo, the bundle of each man's silver [is] in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid;

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 and Jacob their father saith unto them, 'Me ye have bereaved; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin ye take — against me have been all these.'

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 And Reuben speaketh unto his father, saying, 'My two sons thou dost put to death, if I bring him not in unto thee; give him into my hand, and I — I bring him back unto 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 he saith, 'My son doth not go down with you, for his brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.' (Sheol h7585)

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 h7585)
