< 創世記 22 >
1 是等の事の後神アブラハムを試みんとて之をアブラハムよと呼たまふ彼言ふ我此にあり
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said to him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 ヱホバ言給ひけるは爾の子爾の愛する獨子即ちイサクを携てモリアの地に到りわが爾に示さんとする彼所の山に於て彼を燔祭として獻ぐべし
And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get you into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
3 アブラハム朝夙に起て其驢馬に鞍おき二人の少者と其子イサクを携へ且燔祭の柴薪を劈りて起て神の己に示したまへる處におもむきけるが
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
4 三日におよびてアブラハム目を擧て遙に其處を見たり
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 是に於てアブラハム其少者に言けるは爾等は驢馬とともに此に止れ我と童子は彼處にゆきて崇拜を爲し復爾等に歸ん
And Abraham said to his young men, Abide you here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 アブラハム乃ち燔祭の柴薪を取て其子イサクに負せ手に火と刀を執て二人ともに往り
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 イサク父アブラハムに語て父よと曰ふ彼答て子よ我此にありといひければイサク即ち言ふ火と柴薪は有り然ど燔祭の羔は何處にあるや
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 アブラハム言けるは子よ神自ら燔祭の羔を備へたまはんと二人偕に進みゆきて
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 遂に神の彼に示したまへる處に到れり是においてアブラハム彼處に壇を築き柴薪を臚列べ其子イサクを縛りて之を壇の柴薪の上に置せたり
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar on the wood.
10 斯してアブラハム手を舒べ刀を執りて其子を宰んとす
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 時にヱホバの使者天より彼を呼てアブラハムよアブラハムよと言へり彼言ふ我此にあり
And the angel of the LORD called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 使者言けるは汝の手を童子に按るなかれ亦何をも彼に爲べからず汝の子即ち汝の獨子をも我ために惜まざれば我今汝が神を畏るを知ると
And he said, Lay not your hand on the lad, neither do you any thing to him: for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.
13 茲にアブラハム目を擧て視れば後に牡綿羊ありて其角林叢に繋りたりアブラハム即ち往て其牡綿羊を執へ之を其子の代に燔祭として獻げたり
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 アブラハム其處をヱホバエレ(ヱホバ預備たまはん)と名く是に縁て今日もなほ人々山にヱホバ預備たまはんといふ
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 言けるはヱホバ諭したまふ我己を指て誓ふ汝是事を爲し汝の子即ち汝の獨子を惜まざりしに因て
And said, By myself have I sworn, says the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son:
17 我大に汝を祝み又大に汝の子孫を増して天の星の如く濱の沙の如くならしむべし汝の子孫は其敵の門を獲ん
That in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 又汝の子孫によりて天下の民皆福祉を得べし汝わが言に遵ひたるによりてなりと
And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
19 斯てアブラハム其少者の所に歸り皆たちて偕にベエルシバにいたれりアブラハムはベエルシバに住り
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelled at Beersheba.
20 是等の事の後アブラハムに告る者ありて言ふミルカ亦汝の兄弟ナホルにしたがひて子を生り
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she has also born children to your brother Nahor;
21 長子はウヅ其弟はブヅ其次はケムエル是はアラムの父なり
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 其次はケセデ、ハゾ、ピルダシ、ヱデラフ、ベトエル
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 ベトエルはリベカを生り是八人はミルカがアブラハムの兄弟ナホルに生たる者なり
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 ナホルの妾名はルマといふ者も亦テバ、ガハム、タハシおよびマアカを生り
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
