創世記 30

1 ラケル己がヤコブに子を生ざるを見て其姉を夢みヤコブに言けるは我に子を與へよ然らずば我死んと

And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

2 ヤコブ、ラケルにむかひて怒を發して言ふ汝の胎に子をやどらしめざる者は神なり我神に代るをえんや

And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of the womb?

3 ラケルいふ吾婢ビルハを視よ彼の處に入れ彼子を生てわが膝に置ん然ば我もまた彼によりて子をうるにいたらんと

And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

4 其仕女ビルハを彼にあたへて妻となさしめたりヤコブ即ち彼の處にいる

And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.

5 ビルハ遂にはらみてヤコブに子を生ければ

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 ラケルいひけるは神我を監み亦わが聲を聽いれて吾に子をたまへりと是によりて其名をダンと名けたり

And Rachel said, God has given judgement for me, and listened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.

7 ラケルの仕女ビルハ再び姙みて次の子をヤコブに生ければ

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.

8 ラケル我神の爭をもて姉と爭ひて勝ぬといひて其名をナフタリと名けたり

And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.

9 茲にレア產ことの止たるを見しかば其仕女ジルパをとりて之をヤコブにあたへて妻となさしむ

And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.

10 レアの仕女ジルパ、ヤコブに子を產ければ

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

11 レア福來れりといひて其名をガドと名けたり

And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.

12 レアの仕女ジルパ次子をヤコブに生ければ

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.

13 レアいふ我は幸なり女等我を幸なる者となさんと其名をアセルとなづけたり

And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.

14 茲に麥苅の日にルベン出ゆきて野にて戀茄を獲これを母レアの許にもちきたりければラケル、レアにいひけるは請ふ我に汝の子の戀茄をあたへよ

And Ruben went in the day of barley harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of your son's mandrakes.

15 レア彼にいひけるは汝のわが夫を奪しは微き事ならんや然るに汝またわが子の戀茄をも奪んとするやラケルいふ然ば汝の子の戀茄のために夫是夜汝と寢べし

And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for you that you have taken my husband, will you also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.

16 晩におよびてヤコブ野より來りければレア之をいでむかへて言けるは我誠にわが子の戀茄をもて汝を雇ひたれば汝我の所にいらざるべからずヤコブ即ち其夜彼といねたり

And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, You shall come in to me this day, for I have hired you for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.

17 神レアに聽たまひければ彼妊みて第五の子をヤコブに生り

And God listened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 レアいひけるは我わが仕女を夫に與へたれば神我に其値をたまへりと其名をイツサカルと名けたり

And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.

19 レア復妊みて第六の子をヤコブに生り

And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.

20 レアいひけるは神我に嘉賚を貺ふ我六人の男子を生たれば夫今より我と偕にすまんと其名をゼブルンとなづけたり

And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

21 其後彼女子を生み其名をデナと名けたり

And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.

22 茲に神ラケルを念ひ神彼に聽て其胎を開きたまひければ

And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb.

23 彼妊みて男子を生て曰ふ神わが恥辱を洒ぎたまへりと

And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.

24 乃ち其名をヨセフと名けて言ふヱホバ又他の子を我に加へたまはん

And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

25 茲にラケルのヨセフを生むに及びてヤコブ、ラバンに言けるは我を歸して故郷に我國に往しめよ

And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

26 わが汝に事て得たる所の妻子を我に與へて我を去しめよわが汝になしたる役事は汝之を知るなり

Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, that I may depart, for you know the service wherewith I have served you.

27 ラバン彼にいひけるは若なんぢの意にかなはばねがはくは留れ我ヱホバが汝のために我を祝みしを卜ひ得たり

And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in your sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at your coming in.

28 又言ふ汝の望む値をのべよ我之を與ふべし

Appoint me your wages, and I will give [them].

29 ヤコブ彼にいひけるは汝は如何にわが汝に事しか如何に汝の家畜を牧しかを知る

And Jacob said, You know in what things I have served you, and how many cattle of your are with me.

30 わが來れる前に汝の有たる者は鮮少なりしが増て遂に群をなすに至る吾來りてよりヱホバ汝を祝みたまへり然ども我は何時吾家を成にいたらんや

For it was little you had before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed you since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

31 彼言ふ我何を汝に與へんかヤコブいひけるは汝何者をも我に與ふるに及ばず汝若此事を我になさば我復汝の群を牧守らん

And Laban said to him, What shall I give you? and Jacob said to him, You shall not give me anything; if you will do this thing for me, I will again tend your flocks and keep them.

32 即ち我今日徧く汝の群をゆきめぐりて其中より凡て斑なる者點なる者を移し綿羊の中の凡て黑き者を移し山羊の中の點なる者と斑なる者を移さん是わが値なるべし

Let all your sheep pass by today, and separate thence every grey sheep amongst the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted amongst the goats—[this] shall be my reward.

33 後に汝來りてわが傭値をしらぶる時わが義我にかはりて應をなすべし若わが所に山羊の斑ならざる者點ならざる者あり綿羊の黑からざる者あらば皆盜る者となすべし

And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before you: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled amongst the goats, and grey amongst the rams, shall be stolen with me.

34 ラバンいふ汝の言の如くなさんことを願ふ

And Laban said to him, Let it be according to your word.

35 是に於て彼其日牡山羊の斑入なる者斑點なる者を移し凡て牝山羊の斑駮なる者斑點なる者都て身に白色ある者を移し又綿羊の中の凡て黑き者を移して其子等の手に付せり

And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey amongst the rams, and every one that was white amongst them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 而して彼己とヤコブの間に三日程の隔をたてたりヤコブはラバンの餘の群を牧ふ

And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.

37 茲にヤコブ楊柳と楓と桑の靑枝を執り皮を剥て白紋理を成り枝の白き所をあらはし

And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.

38 其皮をはぎたる枝を群の來りて飮むところの水槽と水鉢に立て群に向はしめ群をして水のみの來る時に孕ましむ

And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whenever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.

39 群すなはち枝の前に孕みて斑入の者斑駮なる者斑點なる者を產しかば

So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].

40 ヤコブ其羔羊を區分ちラバンの群の面を其群の斑入なる者と黑き者に對はしめたりしが己の群をば一所に置てラバンの群の中にいれざりき

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one amongst the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.

41 又家畜の壯健き者孕みたる時はヤコブ水槽の中にて其家畜の目の前に彼枝を置き枝の傍において孕ましむ

And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.

42 然ど家畜の羸弱かる時は之を置ず是に因て羸弱者はラバンのとなり壯健者はヤコブのとなれり

But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's.

43 是に於て其人大に富饒になりて多の家畜と婢僕および駱駝驢馬を有にいたれり

And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
