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, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his oldest son, and said to him, My son: and he said to him, Behold, here am I.
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 now, I am old, I 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 therefore take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me some 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 savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you 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 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
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 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your 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 make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.
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 therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
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
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for your father, such as he loves:
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 you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
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 Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am 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
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse on me, 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 your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
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
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
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 Rebekah took goodly raiment of her oldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them 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 the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth 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 savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
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 came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who are you, my 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 am Esau your first born; I have done according as you bade me: arise, I pray you, sit and eat of my venison, that your 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, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD your God brought it to 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, Come near, I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very 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 went near to Isaac his father; 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 discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so 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, Are you my very 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 it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: 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 his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my 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 came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a 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
Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty 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
Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
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, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce 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 savoury meat, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your 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 are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn 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 trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yes, 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 when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my 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, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your 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, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
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, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now to you, my 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, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, 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, your dwelling shall be 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 by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your 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 hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I 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 these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau, as touching you, does comfort himself, purposing to kill you.
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 therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee you to Laban my brother to Haran;
44 汝の兄の怒の釋るまで暫く彼とともに居れ
And tarry with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turn away;
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
Until your brother’s anger turn away from you, and he forget that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from there: why should I be deprived also 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 Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
