創世記 12
1 爰にヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは汝の國を出で汝の親族に別れ汝の父の家を離れて我が汝に示さん其地に至れ
For the Lord had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house vnto the land that I will shewe thee.
2 我汝を大なる國民と成し汝を祝み汝の名を大ならしめん汝は祉福の基となるべし
And I will make of thee a great nation, and will blesse thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing.
3 我は汝を祝する者を祝し汝を詛ふ者を詛はん天下の諸の宗族汝によりて福禔を獲と
I will also blesse them that blesse thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 アブラム乃ちヱホバの自己に言たまひし言に從て出たりロト彼と共に行りアブラムはハランを出たる時七十五歳なりき
So Abram departed, euen as ye Lord spake vnto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeere olde, when he departed out of Haran)
5 アブラム其妻サライと其弟の子ロトおよび其集めたる總の所有とハランにて獲たる人衆を携へてカナンの地に往んとて出で遂にカナンの地に至れり
Then Abram tooke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, and all their substance that they possessed, and the soules that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed, to goe to the land of Canaan: and to the land of Canaan they came.
6 アブラム其地を經過てシケムの處に及びモレの橡樹に至れり其時にカナン人其地に住り
So Abram passed through the land vnto the place of Shechem, and vnto the plaine of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in ye land)
7 茲にヱホバ、アブラムに顯現れて我汝の苗裔に此地に與へんといひたまへり彼處にて彼己に顯現れたまひしヱホバに壇を築けり
And the Lord appeared vnto Abram, and said, Vnto thy seede will I giue this land. And there builded he an altar vnto the Lord, which appeared vnto him.
8 彼其處よりベテルの東の山に移りて其天幕を張り西にベテル東にアイありき彼處にて彼ヱホバに壇を築きヱホバの名を龥り
Afterward remouing thence vnto a moutaine Eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the Westside, and Haai on the East: and there he built an altar vnto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord.
9 アブラム尚進て南に遷れり
Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South.
10 茲に饑饉其地にありければアブラム、エジプトに寄寓らんとて彼處に下れり其は饑饉其地に甚しかりければなり
Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went downe into Egypt to soiourne there: for there was a great famine in the lande.
11 彼近く來りてエジプトに入んとする時其妻サライに言けるは視よ我汝を觀て美麗き婦人なるを知る
And when he drewe neere to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Beholde nowe, I know that thou art a faire woman to looke vpon:
12 是故にエジプト人汝を見る時是は彼の妻なりと言て我を殺さん然ど汝をば生存かん
Therefore it will come to passe, that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keepe thee aliue.
13 請ふ汝わが妹なりと言へ然ば我汝の故によりて安にしてわが命汝のために生存ん
Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that I may fare well for thy sake, and that my life may be preserued by thee.
14 アブラム、エジプトに至りし時エジプト人此婦を見て甚だ美麗となせり
Nowe when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians behelde the woman: for she was very faire.
15 またパロの大臣等彼を視て彼をパロの前に譽めければ婦遂にパロの家に召入れられたり
And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house:
16 是に於てパロ彼のために厚くアブラムを待ひてアブラム遂に羊牛僕婢牝牡の驢馬および駱駝を多く獲るに至れり
Who intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheepe, and beeues, and hee asses, and men seruants and maide seruants, and shee asses, and camelles.
17 時にヱホバ、アブラムの妻サライの故によりて大なる災を以てパロと其家を惱したまへり
But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife.
18 パロ、アブラムを召て言けるは汝が我になしたる此事は何ぞや汝何故に彼が汝の妻なるを我に告ざりしや
Then Pharaoh called Abram, and saide, Why hast thou done this vnto me? Wherefore diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife?
19 汝何故に彼はわが妹なりといひしや我幾彼をわが妻にめとらんとせり然ば汝の妻は此にあり挈去るべしと
Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Nowe therefore beholde thy wife, take her and goe thy way.
20 パロ即ち彼の事を人々に命じければ彼と其妻および其有る諸の物を送りさらしめたり
And Pharaoh gaue men commandement concerning him: and they conueyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had.
