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 Isaac, was old, and his eyes became too dim to see, so he called Esau his elder son and said unto him My son! And he said unto him, Behold me!
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 pray thee, 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 thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and catch for me game;
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 for me dainty meats, such as I love and bring in to me, that I may eat, —To the end my soul may bless thee, ere yet 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
Now, Rebekah, was hearkening, when Isaac spake unto Esau his son, and Esau went his way to the field, to catch game, to bring in.
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
Rebekah, therefore spake unto Jacob her son saying, —Lo! I heard thy father, speaking unto 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 in for me game and make for me dainty meats, that I may eat; and let me bless thee in the presence of Yahweh 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, hearken unto my voice, —in that which I am commanding 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
Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and fetch me from thence two kids of the goats, fine ones, —that I may make of them dainty meats for thy father such as he loveth:
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
Then shalt thou take them in unto thy father and he shall eat, —To the end he may bless thee 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 unto Rebekah his mother, Lo! Esau my brother, is a hairy man, whereas, 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
peradventure my father might feel me, then should I be in his eyes as one that mocketh, —and should bring upon myself a reproach, 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, Upon me, be thy reproach my son, —only hearken unto my voice and go fetch [them] for 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 fetched [them], and brought them in to his mother, and his mother made dainty meats, 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
Then took Rebekah the garments of Esau her elder son, the costly ones, 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 the, skins of the kids of the goats, put she upon his hands, —and on the smooth part 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
then placed she the dainty meats and the bread, which she had made ready, in the hand 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
So he went in unto his father, and said My father! And he said Behold me! who art, thou, 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 unto his father I, am Esau thy firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end 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
Then said Isaac unto his son. How is it thou hast been so quick in finding, my son? And he said, Because Yahweh thy God caused it so to fall out 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
Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son—whether, thou thyself, 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
So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he the voice is the voice of Jacob; 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
So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy, —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, Thou thyself, art 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
So he said, Bring it near to me., that I may eat of the game of my son, To the end my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought in to 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
Then Isaac his father said unto him, —Come thou near I pray thee 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
So he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him, —and said. See! the smell of my son, As the smell of a field, which Yahweh hath 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
Then, may God give thee of the dew of the heavens, And of the fatness of the earth, —And abundance of corn and new 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 peoples serve thee And races bow down to thee, Become thou lord to thy brethren, And let the sons of thy mother bow down to thee, —He that curseth thee, be accursed! And he that blesseth thee, be blessed!
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, —yea it came to pass when Jacob, had only just gone forth, 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
Then, he too, made dainty meats, and brought in to his father, —and said to his father, Let my father rise that he may eat of the game of his son, To the end 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 son thy 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
Then did Isaac tremble with an exceeding great trembling, and said Who then was it that caught game and brought in to me and I did eat of all ere yet thou didst come in and I blessed him? Yea blessed, shall he remain!
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
When Esau heard the words of his father, then cried he out with an outcry loud and bitter exceedingly, —and said to his father, Bless 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
Then he said, Thy brother came in with deceit, —and took away 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, Is it because his name, is called, Jacob, that he hath tricked me, now twice? My birthright, he took away, And lo! now, he hath taken away my blessing! And he said, Hast thou not reserved for me a blessing?
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
Then answered Isaac and said to Esau, —Lo a lord, have I appointed him unto thee, And, all his brethren, have I given to him as servants, And with corn and new wine, have I sustained him, —And for thee—now, what can I do, 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 unto his father, But one blessing, hast thou, O my father? Bless, 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
Then answered Isaac his father and said unto him, —Lo! of the fat parts of the earth, shall be thy dwelling, And of the dew of the heavens, 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 on thy sword, shalt thou live, And thy brother, shalt thou serve: But it shall come to pass when thou shalt rove at large, Then shalt thou break 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 lay in wait for Jacob, on account of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him, —and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, when I can slay Jacob my brother.
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
Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him—Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay 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, therefore, my son, hearken to my voice, —and rise flee thou 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 thou shalt dwell with him a few days, —until that the wrath of thy brother 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 the turning away of the anger of thy brother from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him, and I send and fetch thee from thence. Wherefore should I lose, 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
So then Rebekah said unto Isaac, I am disgusted with my life because of the daughters of Heth, —Should Jacob be taking a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these, of the daughters of the land, wherefore could I wish for life?
