創世記 32
1 茲にヤコブその途に進みしが神の使者これにあふ
And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come upon him;
2 ヤコブこれを見て是は神の陣營なりといひてその處の名をマハナイム(二營)となづけたり
and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, 'This [is] the camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place 'Two Camps.'
3 かくてヤコブ己より前に使者をつかはしてセイルの地エドムの野にをる其兄エサウの所にいたらしむ
And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,
4 即ち之に命じて言ふ汝等かくわが主エサウにいふべし汝の僕ヤコブ斯いふ我ラバンの所に寄寓て今までとどまれり
and commandeth them, saying, 'Thus do ye say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and I tarry until now;
5 我牛驢馬羊僕婢あり人をつかはしてわが主に告ぐ汝の前に恩をえんことを願ふなりと
and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.'
6 使者ヤコブにかへりて言けるは我等汝の兄エサウの許に至れり彼四百人をしたがへて汝をむかへんとて來ると
And the messengers turn back unto Jacob, saying, 'We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him;'
7 是によりヤコブ大におそれ且くるしみ己とともにある人衆および羊と牛と駱駝を二隊にわかちて
and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, and the camels, into two camps,
8 言けるはエサウもし一の隊に來りて之をうたば遺れるところの一隊逃るべし
and saith, 'If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have smitten it — then the camp which is left hath been for an escape.'
9 ヤコブまた言けるはわが父アブラハムの神わが父イサクの神ヱホバよ汝甞て我につげて汝の國にかへり汝の親族に到れ我なんぢを善せんといひたまへり
And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee:
10 我はなんぢが僕にほどこしたまひし恩惠と眞實を一も受るにたらざるなり我わが杖のみを持てこのヨルダンを濟りしが今は二隊とも成にいたれり
I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant — for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
11 願くはわが兄の手よりエサウの手より我をすくひいだしたまへ我彼をおそる恐くは彼きたりて我をうち母と子とに及ばん
'Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me — mother beside sons;
12 汝は甞て我かならず汝を惠み汝の子孫を濱の沙の多して數ふべからざるが如くなさんといひたまへりと
and Thou — Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'
13 彼その夜彼處に宿りその手にいりし物の中より兄エサウへの禮物をえらべり
And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother:
14 即ち牝山羊二百牡山羊二十牝羊二百牡羊二十
she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
15 乳駱駝と其子三十牝牛四十牡牛十牝の驢馬二十驢馬の子十
suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;
16 而して其群と群とをわかちて之を僕の手に授し僕にいひけるは吾に先ちて進み群と群との間を隔ておくべし
and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.'
17 又その前者に命じて言けるはわが兄エサウ汝にあひ汝に問て汝は誰の人にして何處にゆくや是汝のまへなる者は誰の所有なるやといはば
And he commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
18 汝の僕ヤコブの所有にしてわが主エサウにたてまつる禮物なり視よ彼もわれらの後にをるといふべしと
then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind us.'
19 彼かく第二の者第三の者および凡て群々にしたがひゆく者に命じていふ汝等エサウにあふ時はかくの如く之にいふべし
And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him,
20 且汝等いへ視よなんぢの僕ヤコブわれらの後にをるとヤコブおもへらく我わが前におくる禮物をもて彼を和めて然るのち其面を觀ん然ば彼われを接遇ることあらんと
and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'
21 是によりて禮物かれに先ちて行く彼は其夜陣營の中に宿りしが
and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
22 其夜おきいでて二人の妻と二人の仕女および十一人の子を導きてヤボクの渡をわたれり
And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of Jabbok;
23 即ち彼等をみちびきて川を渉らしめ又その有る物を渡せり
and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
24 而してヤコブ一人遺りしが人ありて夜の明るまで之と角力す
And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
25 其人己のヤコブに勝ざるを見てヤコブの髀の樞骨に觸しかばヤコブの髀の樞骨其人と角力する時挫離たり
and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with him;
26 其人夜明んとすれば我をさらしめよといひければヤコブいふ汝われを祝せずばさらしめずと
and he saith, 'Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:' and he saith, 'I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.'
27 是に於て其人かれにいふ汝の名は何なるや彼いふヤコブなり
And he saith unto him, 'What [is] thy name?' and he saith, 'Jacob.'
28 其人いひけるは汝の名は重てヤコブととなふべからずイスラエルととなふべし其は汝神と人とに力をあらそひて勝たればなりと
And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'
29 ヤコブ問て請ふ汝の名を告よといひければ其人何故にわが名をとふやといひて乃ち其處にて之を祝せり
And Jacob asketh, and saith, 'Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, 'Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth him there.
30 是を以てヤコブその處の名をベニエル(神の面)となづけて曰ふ我面と面をあはせて神とあひ見てわが生命なほ存るなりと
And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for 'I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;'
31 斯て彼日のいづる時にベニエルを過たりしが其髀のために歩行はかどらざりき
and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
32 是故にイスラエルの子孫は今日にいたるまで髀の樞の巨筋を食はず是彼人がヤコブの髀の巨筋に觸たるによりてなり
therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
