19 アブラハムの子イサクの傳は左のごとしアブラハム、イサクを生り
This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 イサク四十歳にしてリベカを妻に娶れりリベカはパダンアラムのスリア人ベトエルの女にしてスリア人ラバンの妹なり
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21 イサク其妻の子なきに因て之がためにヱホバに祈願をたてければヱホバ其ねがひを聽たまへり遂に其妻リベカ孕みしが
Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 其子胎の内に爭そひければ然らば我いかで斯てあるべきと言て往てヱホバに問に
The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to enquire of the LORD.
23 ヱホバ彼に言たまひけるは二の國民汝の胎にあり二の民汝の腹より出て別れん一の民は一の民よりも強かるべし大は小に事へんと
The LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24 かくて臨月みちて見しに胎には孿ありき
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 先に出たる者は赤くして躰中裘の如し其名をエサウと名けたり
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26 其後に弟出たるが其手にエサウの踵を持り其名をヤコブとなづけたりリベカが彼等を生し時イサクは六十歳なりき
After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 茲に童子人となりしがエサウは巧なる獵人にして野の人となりヤコブは質樸なる人にして天幕に居ものとなれり
The boys grew. Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 イサクは麆を嗜によりてエサウを愛したりしがリベカはヤコブを愛したり
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 茲にヤコブ羹を煮たり時にエサウ野より來りて憊れ居り
Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 エサウ、ヤコブにむかひ我憊れたれば請ふ其紅羹其處にある紅羹を我にのませよといふ是をもて彼の名はエドム(紅)と稱らる
Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31 ヤコブ言けるは今日汝の家督の權を我に鬻れ
Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 エサウいふ我は死んとして居る此家督の權我に何の益をなさんや
Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 ヤコブまた言けるは今日我に誓へと彼すなはち誓て其家督の權をヤコブに鬻ぬ
Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 是に於てヤコブ、パンと扁豆の羹とをエサウに與へければ食且飮て起て去り斯エサウ家督の權を藐視じたり
Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
