創世記 37
1 ヤコブはカナンの地に住り即ちその父が寄寓し地なり
Iaakob nowe dwelt in the lande, wherein his father was a stranger, in the lande of Canaan.
2 ヤコブの傳は左のごとしヨセフ十七歳にしてその兄弟と偕に羊を牧ふヨセフは童子にしてその父の妻ビルハの子およびジルパの子と侶たりしが彼等の惡き事を父につぐ
These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.
3 ヨセフは老年子なるが故にイスラエルその諸の兄弟よりも深くこれを愛しこれがために綵る衣を製れり
Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 その兄弟等父がその諸の兄弟よりも深く彼を愛するを見て彼を惡み穩和に彼にものいふことを得せざりき
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.
5 茲にヨセフ夢をみてその兄弟に告ければ彼等愈これを惡めり
And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは請ふわが夢たる此夢を聽け
For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 我等田の中に禾束をむすび居たるにわが禾束おき且立り而して汝等の禾束環りたちてわが禾束を拜せり
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 その兄弟等之にいひけるは汝眞にわれらの君となるや眞に我等ををさむるにいたるやとその夢とその言のために益これを惡めり
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 ヨセフ又一の夢をみて之をその兄弟に述ていひけるは我また夢をみたるに日と月と十一の星われを拜せりと
Againe hee dreamed an other dreame, and tolde it his brethren, and saide, Behold, I haue had one dreame more, and beholde, the Sunne and the Moone and eleuen starres did reuerence to me.
10 則ちこれをその父と兄弟に述ければ父かれを戒めて彼にいふ汝が夢しこの夢は何ぞや我と汝の母となんぢの兄弟と實にゆきて地に鞠て汝を拜するにいたらんやと
Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 斯しかばその兄弟かれを嫉めり然どその父はこの言をおぼえたり
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.
12 茲にその兄弟等シケムにゆきて父の羊を牧ゐたりしかば
Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.
13 イスラエル、ヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟はシケムにて羊を牧をるにあらずや來れ汝を彼等につかはさんヨセフ父にいふ我ここにあり
And Israel said vnto Ioseph, Doe not thy brethren keepe in Shechem? come and I will send thee to them.
14 父かれにいひけるは請ふ往て汝の兄弟と群の恙なきや否を見てかへりて我につげよと彼をヘブロンの谷より遣はしければ遂にシケムに至る。
And he answered him, I am here. Then he saide vnto him, Goe now, see whether it bee well with thy brethren, and how the flocks prosper, and bring me word againe. so hee sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 或人かれに遇ふに彼野にさまよひをりしかば其人かれに問て汝何をたづぬるやといひければ
Then a man found him: for lo, hee was wandring in the fielde, and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 彼いふ我はわが兄弟等をたづぬ請ふかれらが羊をかひをる所をわれに告よ
And he answered, I seeke my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they keepe sheepe.
17 その人いひけるは彼等は此をされり我かれらがドタンにゆかんといふを聞たりと是に於てヨセフその兄弟の後をおひゆきドタンにて之に遇ふ
And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18 ヨセフの彼等に近かざる前に彼ら之を遙に見てこれを殺さんと謀り
And when they sawe him a farre off, euen before he came at them, they conspired against him for to slay him.
19 互にいひけるは視よ作夢者きたる
For they sayd one to another, Behold, this dreamer commeth.
20 去來彼をころして阱に投いれ或惡き獸これを食たりと言ん而して彼の夢の如何になるかを觀るべし
Come now therefore, and let vs slay him, and cast him into some pitte, and wee will say, A wicked beast hath deuoured him: then wee shall see, what will come of his dreames.
21 ルベン聞てヨセフを彼等の手より拯ひださんとして言けるは我等これを殺すべからず
But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him.
22 ルベンまた彼らにいひけるは血をながすなかれ之を曠野の此阱に投いれて手をこれにつくるなかれと是は之を彼等の手よりすくひだして父に歸んとてなりき
Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe.
23 茲にヨセフ兄弟の許に到りければ彼等ヨセフの衣即ちその着たる綵る衣を褫ぎ
Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him.
24 彼を執て阱に投いれたり阱は空にしてその中に水あらざりき
And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
25 斯して彼等坐てパンを食ひ目をあげて見しに一群のイシマエル人駱駝に香物と乳香と沒藥をおはせてエジプトにくだりゆかんとてギレアデより來る
Then they sate them downe to eate bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, there came a companie of Ishmeelites from Gilead, and their camels laden with spicerie, and balme, and myrrhe, and were going to cary it downe into Egypt.
26 ユダその兄弟にいひけるは我儕弟をころしてその血を匿すも何の益かあらん
Then Iudah said vnto his brethren, What auaileth it, if we slay our brother, though wee keepe his blood secret?
27 去來彼をイシマエル人に賣ん彼は我等の兄弟われらの肉なればわれらの手をかれにつくべからずと兄弟等これを善とす
Come and let vs sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our handes be vpon him: for he is our brother and our flesh: and his brethren obeyed.
28 時にミデアンの商旅經過ければヨセフを阱よりひきあげ銀二十枚にてヨセフをイシマエル人に賣り彼等すなはちヨセフをエジプトにたづさへゆきぬ
Then the Midianites marchant men passed by, and they drewe foorth, and lift Ioseph out of the pit, and solde Ioseph vnto the Ishmeelites for twentie pieces of siluer: who brought Ioseph into Egypt.
29 茲にルベンかへりて阱にいたり見しにヨセフ阱にをらざりしかばその衣を裂き
Afterwarde Reuben returned to the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes,
30 兄弟の許にかへりて言ふ童子はをらず嗚呼我何處にゆくべきや
And returned to his brethren, and said, The childe is not yonder, and I, whither shall I goe?
31 斯て彼等ヨセフの衣をとり牡山羊の羔をころしてその衣を血に濡し
And they tooke Iosephs coate, and killed a kidde of the goates, and dipped the coate in the blood.
32 その綵る衣を父におくり遣していひけるは我等これを得たりなんぢの子の衣なるや否を知れと
So they sent that particoloured coat, and they brought it vnto their father, and saide, This haue we founde: see nowe, whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no.
33 父これを知りていふわが子の衣なり惡き獸彼をくらへりヨセフはかならずさかれしならんと
Then he knewe it and said, It is my sonnes coate: a wicked beast hath deuoured him: Ioseph is surely torne in pieces.
34 ヤコブその衣を裂き麻布を腰にまとひ久くその子のためになげけり
And Iaakob rent his clothes, and put sackecloth about his loynes, and sorowed for his sonne a long season.
Then all his sonnes and all his daughters rose vp to comfort him, but he woulde not be comforted, but said, Surely I will go downe into the graue vnto my sonne mourning: so his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 偖ミデアン人はエジプトにてパロの侍衞の長ポテパルにヨセフを賣り
And the Midianites solde him into Egypt vnto Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs, and his chiefe stewarde.
