創世記 26

1 アブラハムの時にありし最初の饑饉の外に又其國に饑饉ありければイサク、ゲラルに往てペリシテ人の王アビメレクの許にいたれり

And there was a famine in the lande besides the first famine that was in the dayes of Abraham. Wherefore Izhak went to Abimelech King of the Philistims vnto Gerar.

2 時にヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるはエジプトに下るなかれ吾汝に示すところの地にをれ

For the Lord appeared vnto him, and sayde, Goe not downe into Egypt, but abide in the land which I shall shewe vnto thee.

3 汝此地にとどまれ我汝と共にありて汝を祝まん我是等の國を盡く汝および汝の子孫に與へ汝の父アブラハムに誓ひたる誓言を行ふべし

Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father.

4 われ汝の子孫を増て天の星のごとくなし汝の子孫に凡て是等の國を與へん汝の子孫によりて天下の國民皆福祉を獲べし

Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,

5 是はアブラハムわが言に順ひわが職守とわが誡命とわが憲法とわが律法を守りしに因てなり

Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes.

6 イサク乃ちゲラルに居しが

So Izhak dwelt in Gerar.

7 處の人其妻の事をとへば我妹なりと言ふリベカは觀に美麗かりければ其處の人リベカの故をもて我を殺さんと謂て彼をわが妻と言をおそれたるなり

And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye.

8 イサク久しく彼處にをりし後一日ペリシテ人の王アビメレク\牖より望みてイサクが其妻リベカと嬉戲るを見たり

So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife.

9 是に於てアビメレク、イサクを召て言けるは彼は必ず汝の妻なり汝なんぞ吾妹といひしやイサク彼に言けるは恐くは我彼のために死るならんと思たればなり

Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.

10 アビメレクいひけるは汝なんぞ此事を我等になすや民の一人もし輕々しく汝の妻と寢ることあらんその時は汝罪を我等に蒙らしめんと

Then Abimelech said, Why hast thou done this vnto vs? one of the people had almost lien by thy wife, so shouldest thou haue brought sinne vpon vs.

11 アビメレク乃ちすべて民に皆命じて此人と其妻にさはるものは必ず死すべしと言り

Then Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man, or his wife, shall die the death.

12 イサク彼地に種播て其年に百倍を獲たりヱホバ彼を祝みたまふ

Afterwarde Izhak sowed in that lande, and founde in the same yeere an hundreth folde by estimation: and so the Lord blessed him.

13 其人大になりゆきて進て盛になり遂に甚だ大なる者となれり

And the man waxed mightie, and stil increased, till he was exceeding great,

14 即ち羊と牛と僕從を多く有しかばペリシテ人彼を嫉みたり

For he had flockes of sheepe, and heards of cattell, and a mightie housholde: therefore the Philistims had enuy at him.

15 其父アブラハムの世に其父の僕從が掘たる諸の井はペリシテ人之をふさぎて土を之にみてたり

In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time.

16 茲にアビメレク、イサクに言けるは汝は大に我等よりも強大ければ我等をはなれて去れと

Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale.

17 イサク乃ち彼處をさりてゲラルの谷に天幕を張て其處に住り

Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

18 其父アブラハムの世に掘たる水井をイサク茲に復び鑿り其はアブラハムの死たる後ペリシテ人之を塞ぎたればなり斯してイサク其父が之に名けたる名をもて其名となせり

And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them.

19 イサクの僕谷に掘て其處に泉の湧出る井を得たり

Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water.

20 ゲラルの牧者此水は我儕の所屬なりといひてイサクの僕と爭ひければイサク其井の名をエセク(競爭)と名けたり彼等が己と之を競爭たるによりてなり

But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him.

21 是に於て又他の井を鑿しが彼等是をも爭ひければ其名をシテナ(敵)となづけたり

Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah.

22 イサク乃ち彼處より遷りて他の井を鑿けるが彼等之をあらそはざりければ其名をレホボテ(廣塲)と名けて言けるは今ヱホバ我等の處所を廣くしたまへり我等此地を繁衍ん

Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth.

23 斯て彼其處よりベエルシバにのぼりしが

So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba.

24 其夜ヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるは我は汝の父アブラハムの神なり懼るるなかれ我汝と偕にありて汝を祝み我僕アブラハムのために汝の子孫を増んと

And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake.

25 是に於て彼處に壇を築きてヱホバの名を龥び天幕を彼處に張り彼處にてイサクの僕井を鑿り

Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well.

26 茲にアビメレク其友アホザテ及び其軍勢の長ピコルと共にゲラルよりイサクの許に來りければ

Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie.

27 イサク彼等に言ふ汝等は我を惡み我をして汝等をはなれて去らしめたるなるに何ぞ我許に來るや

To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you?

28 彼等いひけるは我等確然にヱホバが汝と偕にあるを見たれば我等の間即ち我等と汝の間に誓詞を立て汝と契約を結ばんと謂へり

Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee.

29 汝我等に惡事をなすなかれ其は我等は汝を害せず只善事のみを汝になし且汝を安然に去しめたればなり汝はヱホバの祝みたまふ者なり

If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.

30 イサク乃ち彼等のために酒宴を設けたれば彼等食ひ且飮り

Then hee made them a feast, and they dyd eate and drinke.

31 斯て朝夙に起て互に相誓へり而してイサク彼等を去しめたれば彼等イサクをはなれて安然にかへりぬ

And they rose vp betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: then Izhak let them go, and they departed from him in peace.

32 其日イサクの僕來りて其ほりたる井につきて之に告て我等水を得たりといへり

And that same day Izhaks seruantes came and tolde him of a well, which they had digged, and said vnto him, We haue found water.

33 即ち之をシバとなづく此故に其邑の名は今日までベエルシバ(誓詞の井)といふ

So hee called it Shibah: therefore the name of the citie is called Beer-sheba vnto this day.

34 エサウ四十歳の時ヘテ人の女ユデテとヘテ人エロンの女バスマテを妻に娶り

Nowe when Esau was fourtie yeere olde, he tooke to wife Iudith, the daughter of Beeri an Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon an Hittite also.

35 彼等はイサクとリベカの心の愁煩となれり

And they were a griefe of minde to Izhak and to Rebekah.
