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
After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “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
He said, “Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as 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
Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey; and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He 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
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far 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
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey. The boy and I will go over there. We will worship, and come back 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
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went 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
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Here is 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
Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they both went 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
They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, 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
Abraham stretched out his hand, and took the knife to kill 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
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”
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
He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since 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
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead 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
Abraham called the name of that place “The LORD Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On the LORD’s mountain, it will be provided.”
15 ヱホバの使者再天よりアブラハムを呼て
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,
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, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘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 I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will 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
All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, 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. Abraham lived 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
After these things, Abraham was told, “Behold, Milcah, she also has borne 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
Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, 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
Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, 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
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore 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
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
