創世記 27
1 イサク老て目くもりて見るあたはざるに及びて其長子エサウを召て之に吾子よといひければ答へて我此にありといふ
And it came to pass after Isaac was old, that his eyes were dimmed so that he could not see; and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him, My son; and he said, Behold, I [am here].
2 イサクいひけるは視よ我は今老て何時死るやを知ず
And he said, Behold, I am grown old, and know not the day of my death.
3 然ば請ふ汝の器汝の弓矢を執て野に出でわがために麆を獵て
Now then take the weapons, both thy quiver and thy bow, and go into the plain, and get me venison,
4 わが好む美味を作り我にもちきたりて食はしめよ我死るまへに心に汝を祝せん
and make me meats, as I like them, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee, before I die.
5 イサクが其子エサウに語る時にリベカ聞ゐたりエサウは麆を獵て携きたらんとて野に往り
And Rebecca heard Isaac speaking to Esau his son; and Esau went to the plain to procure venison for his father.
6 是に於てリベカ其子ヤコブに語りていひけるは我聞ゐたるに汝の父汝の兄エサウに語りて言けらく
And Rebecca said to Jacob her younger son, Behold, I heard thy father speaking to Esau thy brother, saying,
7 吾ために麆をとりきたり美味を製りて我にくはせよ死るまへに我ヱホバの前にて汝を祝せんと
Bring me venison, and prepare me meats, that I may eat and bless thee before the Lord before I die.
8 然ば吾子よ吾言にしたがひわが汝に命ずるごとくせよ
Now then, my son, hearken to me, as I command thee.
9 汝群畜の所にゆきて彼處より山羊の二箇の善き羔を我にとりきたれ我之をもて汝の父のために其好む美味を製らん
And go to the cattle and take for me thence two kids, tender and good, and I will make them meats for thy father, as he likes.
10 汝之を父にもちゆきて食しめ其死る前に汝を祝せしめよ
And thou shalt bring them in to thy father, and he shall eat, that thy father may bless thee before he dies.
11 ヤコブ其母リベカに言けるは兄エサウは毛深き人にして我は滑澤なる人なり
And Jacob said to his mother Rebecca, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I a smooth man.
12 恐くは父我に捫ることあらん然らば我は欺く者と父に見えんされば祝をえずして返て呪詛をまねかん
Peradventure my father may feel me, and I shall be before him as one ill-intentioned, and I shall bring upon me a curse, and not a blessing.
13 其母彼にいひけるは我子よ汝の詛はるる所は我に歸せん只わが言にしたがひ往て取來れと
And his mother said to him, On me be thy curse, son; only hearken to my voice, and go and bring [them] me.
14 是において彼往て取り母の所にもちきたりければ母すなはち父の好むところの美味を製れり
So he went and took and brought them to his mother; and his mother made meats, as his father liked [them].
15 而してリベカ家の中に己の所にある長子エサウの美服をとりて之を季子ヤコブに衣せ
And Rebecca having taken the fine raiment of her elder son Esau which was with her in the house, put it on Jacob her younger son.
16 又山羊の羔の皮をもて其手と其頸の滑澤なる處とを掩ひ
And she put on his arms the skins of the kids, and on the bare parts of his neck.
17 其製りたる美味とパンを子ヤコブの手にわたせり
And she gave the meats, and the loaves which she had prepared, into the hands of Jacob her son.
18 彼乃ち父の許にいたりて我父よといひければ我此にありわが子よ汝は誰なると曰ふ
And he brought [them] to his father, and said, Father; and he said, Behold I [am here]; who art thou, son?
19 ヤコブ父にいひけるは我は汝の長子エサウなり我汝が我に命じたるごとくなせり請ふ起て坐しわが麆の肉をくらひて汝の心に我を祝せよ
And Jacob said to his father, I, Esau thy first-born, have done as thou toldest me; rise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20 イサク其子に言けるは吾子よ汝いかにして斯速に獲たるや彼言ふ汝の神ヱホバ之を我にあはせたまひしが故なり
And Isaac said to his son, What is this which thou hast quickly found? And he said, That which the Lord thy God presented before me.
21 イサク、ヤコブにいひけるはわが子よ請ふ近くよれ我汝に捫て汝がまことに吾子エサウなるや否やをしらん
And Isaac said to Jacob, Draw night to me, and I will feel thee, son, if thou art my son Esau or not.
22 ヤコブ父イサクに近よりければイサク之にさはりていひけるは聲はヤコブの聲なれども手はエサウの手なりと
And Jacob drew nigh to his father Isaac, and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
23 彼の手其兄エサウの手のごとく毛深かりしに因て之を辨別へずして遂に之を祝したり
And he knew him not, for his hands were as the hands of his brother Esau, hairy; and he blessed him,
24 即ちイサクいひけるは汝はまことに吾子エサウなるや彼然りといひければ
and he said, Art thou my son Esau? and he said, I [am].
25 イサクいひけるは我に持きたれ吾子の麆を食ひてわが心に汝を祝せんと是に於てヤコブ彼の許にもちきたりければ食へり又酒をもちきたりければ飮り
And he said, Bring hither, and I will eat of thy venison, son, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought [it] near to him, and he ate, and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 かくて父イサク彼にいひけるは吾子よ近くよりて我に接吻せよと
And Isaac his father said to him, Draw nigh to me, and kiss me, son.
27 彼すなはち近よりて之に接吻しければ其衣の馨香をかぎて彼を祝していひけるは嗚呼吾子の香はヱホバの祝たまへる野の馨香のごとし
And he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field, which the Lord has blessed.
28 ねがはくは神天の露と地の腴および饒多の穀と酒を汝にたまへ
And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine.
29 諸の民汝につかへ諸の邦汝に躬を鞠ん汝兄弟等の主となり汝の母の子等汝に身をかがめん汝を詛ふ者はのろはれ汝を祝す者は祝せらるべし
And let nations serve thee, and princes bow down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that blesses thee.
30 イサク、ヤコブを祝することを終てヤコブ父イサクの前より出さりし時にあたりて兄エサウ獵より歸り來り
And it came to pass after Isaac had ceased blessing his son Jacob, it even came to pass, just when Jacob had gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 己も亦美味をつくりて之を其父の許にもちゆき父にいひけるは父よ起て其子の麆を食ひて心に我を祝せよ
And he also had made meats and brought them to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32 父イサク彼にいひけるは汝は誰なるや彼いふ我は汝の子汝の長子エサウなり
And Isaac his father said to him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy first-born son Esau.
33 イサク甚大に戰兢ていひけるは然ば彼麆を獵て之を我にもちきたりし者は誰ぞや我汝がきたるまへに諸の物を食ひて彼を祝したれば彼まことに祝福をうべし
And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
34 エサウ父の言を聞て大に哭き痛く泣て父にいひけるは父よ我を祝せよ我をも祝せよ
And it came to pass when Esau heard the words of his father Isaac, he cried out with a great and very bitter cry, and said, Bless, I pray thee, me also, father.
35 イサク言けるは汝の弟僞りて來り汝の祝を奪ひたり
And he said to him, Thy brother has come with subtlety, and taken thy blessing.
36 エサウいひけるは彼をヤコブ(推除者)となづくるは宜ならずや彼が我をおしのくる事此にて二次なり昔にはわが家督の權を奪ひ今はわが祝を奪ひたり又言ふ汝は祝をわがために殘しおかざりしや
And he said, Rightly was his name called Jacob, for lo! this second time has he supplanted me; he has both taken my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing; and Esau said to his father, Hast thou not left a blessing for me, father?
37 イサク對てエサウにいひけるは我彼を汝の主となし其兄弟を悉く僕として彼にあたへたり又穀と酒とを彼に授けたり然ば吾子よ我何を汝になすをえん
And Isaac answered and said to Esau, If I have made him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants, and have strengthened him with corn and wine, what then shall I do for thee, son?
38 エサウ父に言けるは父よ父の祝唯一ならんや父よ我を祝せよ我をも祝せよと聲をあげて哭ぬ
And Esau said to his father, Hast thou [only] one blessing, father? Bless, I pray thee, me also, father. And Isaac being troubled, Esau cried aloud and wept.
39 父イサク答て彼にいひけるは汝の住所は地の膏腴にはなれ上よりの天の露にはなるべし
And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40 汝は劍をもて世をわたり汝の弟に事ん然ど汝繋を離るる時は其軛を汝の頸より振ひおとすを得ん
And thou shalt live by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be [a time] when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.
41 エサウ父のヤコブを祝したる其祝の爲にヤコブを惡めり即ちエサウ心に謂けるは父の喪の日近ければ其時我弟ヤコブを殺さんと
And Esau was angry with Jacob because of the blessing, with which his father blessed him; and Esau said in his mind, Let the days of my father's mourning draw nigh, that I may slay my brother Jacob.
42 長子エサウの此言リベカに聞えければ季子ヤコブを呼よせて之に言けるは汝の兄エサウ汝を殺さんとおもひて自ら慰む
And the words of Esau her elder son were reported to Rebecca, and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau thy brother threatens thee to kill thee.
43 されば吾子よ我言にしたがひ起てハランにゆきわが兄ラバンの許にのがれ
Now then, my son, hear my voice, and rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia to Laban my brother into Charran.
44 汝の兄の怒の釋るまで暫く彼とともに居れ
And dwell with him certain days, until thy brother's anger
45 汝の兄の鬱憤釋て汝をはなれ汝彼になしたる事を忘るるにいたらば我人をやりて汝を彼處よりむかへん我何ぞ一日のうちに汝等二人を喪ふべけんや
and rage depart from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; and I will send and fetch thee thence, lest at any time I should be bereaved of you both in one day.
46 リベカ、イサクに言けるは我はヘテの女等のために世を厭ふにいたるヤコブ若此地の彼女等の如きヘテの女の中より妻を娶らば我身生るも何の利益あらんや
And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life, because of the daughters of the sons of Chet; if Jacob shall take a wife of the daughters of this land, wherefore should I live?
