< 創世記 35 >
1 茲に神ヤコブに言たまひけるは起てベテルにのぼりて彼處に居り汝が昔に兄エサウの面をさけて逃る時に汝にあらはれし神に彼處にて壇をきづけと
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 ヤコブ乃ちその家人および凡て己とともなる者にいふ汝等の中にある異神を棄て身を清めて衣服を易よ
Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3 我等起てベテルにのぼらん彼處にて我わが苦患の日に我に應へわが往ところの途にて我とともに在せし神に壇をきづくべし
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 是に於て彼等その手にある異神およびその耳にある耳環を盡くヤコブに與へしかばヤコブこれをシケムの邊なる橡樹の下に埋たり
And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 斯て彼等いでたちしが神其四周の邑々をして懼れしめたまひければヤコブの子の後を追ふ者なかりき
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 ヤコブ及び之と共なる諸の人遂にカナンの地にあるルズに至る是即ちベテルなり
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 彼かしこに壇をきづき其處をエルベテルと名けたり是は兄の面をさけて逃る時に神此にて己にあらはれ給しによりてなり
And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 時にリベカの乳媼デボラ死たれば之をベテルの下にて橡樹の下に葬れり是によりてその樹の名をアロンバクテ(哀哭の橡)といふ
But Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
9 ヤコブ、パダンアラムより歸りし時神復これにあらはれて之を祝したまふ
And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
10 神かれに言たまはく汝の名はヤコブといふ汝の名は重てヤコブとよぶべからずイスラエルを汝の名となすべしとその名をイスラエルと稱たまふ
And God said to him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 神また彼にいひたまふ我は全能の神なり生よ殖よ國民および多の國民汝よりいで又王等なんぢの腰よりいでん
And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 わがアブラハムおよびイサクに與し地は我これを汝にあたへん我なんぢの後の子孫にその地をあたふべしと
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
13 神かれと言たまひし處より彼をはなれて昇りたまふ
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
14 是に於てヤコブ神の己と言いひたまひし處に柱すなはち石の柱を立て其上に酒を灌ぎまた其上に膏を沃げり
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
15 而してヤコブ神の己にものいひたまひし處の名をベテルとなづけたり
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
16 かくてヤコブ等ベテルよりいでたちしがエフラタに至るまでは尚路の隔ある處にてラケル產にのぞみその產おもかりき
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
17 彼難產にのぞめる時產婆之にいひけるは懼るなかれ汝また此男の子を得たり
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 彼死にのぞみてその魂さらんとする時その子の名をベノニ(吾苦痛の子)と呼たり然ど其父これをベニヤミン(右手の子)となづけたり
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died ) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19 ラケル死てエフラタの途に葬らる是即ちベテレヘムなり
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 ヤコブその墓に柱を立たり是はラケルの墓の柱といひて今日まで在り
And Jacob set a pillar on her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
21 イスラエル復いでたちてエダルの塔の外にその天幕を張り
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22 イスラエルかの地に住る時にルベン往て父の妾ビルハと寢たりイスラエルこれを聞く夫ヤコブの子は十二人なり
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 即ちレアの子はヤコブの長子ルベンおよびシメオン、レビ、ユダ、イッサカル、ゼブルンなり
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 レアの仕女ジルパの子はガドとアセルなり是等はヤコブの子にしてパダンアラムにて彼に生れたる者なり
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Padanaram.
27 ヤコブ、キリアテアルバのマムレにゆきてその父イサクに至れり是すなはちヘブロンなり彼處はアブラハムとイサクの寄寓しところなり
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and eighty years.
29 イサク老て年滿ち氣息たえ死にて其民にくははれりその子エサウとヤコブ之をはうむる
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
