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 seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, 'Give me sons, and if there is none — I 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's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, 'Am I in stead of God who hath withheld from thee 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 she saith, 'Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from 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 giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth in unto her;

5 ビルハ遂にはらみてヤコブに子を生ければ

and Bilhah conceiveth, and beareth to 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 saith, 'God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath 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 Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant, conceiveth again, and beareth 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 saith, 'With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his name Napthali.

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 Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a wife;

10 レアの仕女ジルパ、ヤコブに子を產ければ

and Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth to 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 Leah saith, 'A troop is coming;' and she calleth his name Gad.

12 レアの仕女ジルパ次子をヤコブに生ければ

And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth a second son to Jacob,

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 Leah saith, 'Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth his name Asher.

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 Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, 'Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples of thy son.'

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 she saith to her, 'Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, 'Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'

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 cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, 'Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during 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 hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,

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 Leah saith, 'God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name Issachar.

19 レア復妊みて第六の子をヤコブに生り

And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,

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 Leah saith, 'God hath endowed me — a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;

21 其後彼女子を生み其名をデナと名けたり

and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.

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 remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth 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 conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, 'God hath gathered up 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 calleth his name Joseph, saying, 'Jehovah is adding 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 cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Send me away, and I go unto 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

give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou — thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'

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 saith unto him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes — I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'

28 又言ふ汝の望む値をのべよ我之を與ふべし

He saith also, 'Define thy hire to me, and I give.'

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 he saith unto him, 'Thou — thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was 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 is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine 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 he saith, 'What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, 'Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;

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

I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats — and it hath been my hire;

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 hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; — every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs — it is 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 saith, 'Lo, O that it were according to thy 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 turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth 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 setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.

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 taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] 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 setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;

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

and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.

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 the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.

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 hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to 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

and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones 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 increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
