創世記 28
1 イサク、ヤコブを呼て之を祝し之に命じて言けるは汝カナンの女の中より妻を娶るなかれ
And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
2 起てパダンアラムに往き汝の母の父ベトエルの家にいたり彼處にて汝の母の兄ラバンの女の中より妻を娶れ
Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
3 願くは全能の神汝を祝み汝をして子女を多く得せしめ且汝の子孫を増て汝をして多衆の民とならしめ
And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
4 又アブラハムに賜んと約束せし祝を汝および汝と共に汝の子孫に賜ひ汝をして神がアブラハムにあたへ給ひし此汝が寄寓る地を持たしめたまはんことをと
And may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
5 斯てイサク、ヤコブを遣しければパダンアラムにゆきてラバンの所にいたれりラバンはスリア人ベトエルの子にしてヤコブとエサウの母なるリベカの兄なり
So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 エサウはイサクがヤコブを祝して之をパダンアラムにつかはし彼處より妻を娶しめんとしたるを見又之を祝し汝はカナンの女の中より妻をめとるなかれといひて之に命じたることを見
And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
7 又ヤコブが其父母の言に順ひてパダンアラムに往しを見たり
and [that] Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
8 エサウまたカナンの女の其父イサクの心にかなはぬを見たり
And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
9 是においてエサウ、イシマエルの所にゆきて其有る妻の外に又アブラハムの子イシマエルの女ネバヨテの妹マハラテを妻にめとれり
Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
10 茲にヤコブ、ベエルシバより出たちてハランの方におもむきけるが
And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
11 一處にいたれる時日暮たれば即ち其處に宿り其處の石をとり枕となして其處に臥て寢たり
And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
12 時に彼夢て梯の地にたちゐて其巓の天に逹れるを見又神の使者の其にのぼりくだりするを見たり
and dreamt, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
13 ヱホバ其上に立て言たまはく我は汝の祖父アブラハムの神イサクの神ヱホバなり汝が偃臥ところの地は我之を汝と汝の子孫に與へん
And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.
14 汝の子孫は地の塵沙のごとくなりて西東北南に蔓るべし又天下の諸の族汝と汝の子孫によりて福祉をえん
And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
15 また我汝とともにありて凡て汝が往ところにて汝をまもり汝を此地に率返るべし我はわが汝にかたりし事を行ふまで汝をはなれざるなり
And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said to you.
16 ヤコブ目をさまして言けるは誠にヱホバ此處にいますに我しらざりきと
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
17 乃ち惶懼ていひけるは畏るべき哉此處是即ち神の殿の外ならず是天の門なり
And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 かくてヤコブ朝夙に起き其枕となしたる石を取り之を立て柱となし膏を其上に沃ぎ
And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 其處を名をベテル(神殿)と名けたり其邑の名は初はルズといへり
And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
20 ヤコブ乃ち誓をたてていひけるは若神我とともにいまし此わがゆく途にて我をまもり食ふパンと衣る衣を我にあたへ
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 我をしてわが父の家に安然に歸ることを得せしめたまはばヱホバをわが神となさん
and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
22 又わが柱にたてたる此石を神の家となさん又汝がわれにたまふ者は皆必ず其十分の一を汝にささげん
And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatever you shall give me, I will tithe a tenth for you.
