創世記 41
1 二年の後パロ夢ることあり即ち河の濱にたちて
And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River,
2 視るに七の美しき肥たる牝牛河よりのぼりて葦を食ふ
and lo, from the River coming up are seven kine, of fair appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds;
3 その後また七の醜き痩たる牛河よりのぼり河の畔にて彼牛の側にたちしが
and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them out of the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they stand near the kine on the edge of the River,
4 その醜き痩たる牛かの美しき肥たる七の牛を食ひつくせりパロ是にいたりて寤む
and the kine of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat — and Pharaoh awaketh.
5 彼また寢て再び夢るに一の莖に七の肥たる佳き穗いできたる
And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good,
6 其のちに又しなびて東風に燒たる七の穗いできたりしが
and lo, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
7 その七のしなびたる穗かの七の肥實りたる穗を呑盡せりパロ寤て見に夢なりき
and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears — and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream.
8 パロ朝におよびてその心安からず人をつかはしてエジプトの法術士とその博士を皆ことごとく召し之にその夢を述たり然ど之をパロに解うる者なかりき
And it cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh.
9 時に酒人の長パロに告ていふ我今日わが過をおもひいづ
And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying, 'My sin I mention this day:
10 甞てパロその僕を怒て我と膳夫の長を侍衞の長の家に幽囚へたまひし時
Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers;
11 我と彼ともに一夜のうちに夢み各その解明にかなふ夢をみたりしが
and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed.
12 彼處に侍衞の長の僕なる若きヘブル人我らと偕にあり我等これにのべたれば彼われらの夢を解その夢にしたがひて各人に解明をなせり
And there [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he interpreteth to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream hath he interpreted,
13 しかして其事かれが解たるごとくなりて我はわが職にかへり彼は木に懸らる
and it cometh to pass, as he hath interpreted to us so it hath been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.'
14 是に於てパロ人をやりてヨセフを召しければ急ぎてこれを獄より出せりヨセフすなはち髭を薙り衣をかへてパロの許にいり來る
And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh.
15 パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは我夢をみたれど之をとく者なし聞に汝は夢をききて之を解くことをうると云ふ
And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I — I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,'
16 ヨセフ、パロにこたへていひけるは我によるにあらず神パロの平安を告たまはん
and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, 'Without me — God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.'
17 パロ、ヨセフにいふ我夢に河の岸にたちて見るに
And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: 'In my dream, lo, I am standing by the edge of the River,
18 河より七の肥たる美しき牝牛のぼりて葦を食ふ
and lo, out of the River coming up are seven kine, fat [in] flesh, and of fair form, and they feed among the reeds;
19 後また弱く甚だ醜き瘠たる七の牝牛のぼりきたる其惡き事エジプト全國にわが未だ見ざるほどなり
and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20 その瘠たる醜き牛初の七の肥たる牛を食ひつくしたりしが
'And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat kine,
21 已に腹にいりても其腹にいりし事しれず尚前のごとく醜かりき我是にいたりて寤めたり
and they come in unto their midst, and it hath not been known that they have come in unto their midst, and their appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake.
22 我また夢に見るに七の實たる佳き穗一の莖にいできたる
'And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up on one stalk, full and good;
23 その後にまたいぢけ萎びて東風にやけたる七の穗生じたりしが
and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east wind, are springing up after them;
24 そのしなびたる穗かの七の佳穗を呑つくせり我これを法術士に告たれどもわれにこれをしめすものなし
and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.'
25 ヨセフ、パロにいひけるはパロの夢は一なり神その爲んとする所をパロに示したまへるなり
And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, 'The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh;
26 七の美牝牛は七年七の佳穗も七年にして夢は一なり
the seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one;
27 其後にのぼりし七の瘠たる醜き牛は七年にしてその東風にやけたる七の空穗は七年の饑饉なり
and the seven thin and bad kine which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine;
28 是はわがパロに申すところなり神そのなさんとするところをパロにしめしたまふ
this [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh.
29 エジプトの全地に七年の大なる豐年あるべし
'Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt,
30 その後に七年の凶年おこらん而してエジプトの地にありし豐作を皆忘るにいたるべし饑饉國を滅さん
and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine hath finished the land,
31 後にいたるその饑饉はなはだはげしきにより前の豐作國の中に知れざるにいたらん
and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterwards, for it [is] very grievous.
32 パロのふたたび夢をかさね見たまひしは神がこの事をさだめて速に之をなさんとしたまふなり
'And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it.
33 さればパロ慧く賢き人をえらみて之にエジプトの國を治めしめたまふべし
'And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt;
34 パロこれをなし國中に官吏を置てその七年の豐年の中にエジプトの國の五分の一を取たまふべし
let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty,
35 而して其官吏をして來らんとするその善き年の諸の糧食を斂めてその穀物をパロの手に蓄へしめ糧食を邑々にかこはしめたまふべし
and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh — food in the cities; and they have kept [it],
36 その糧食を國のために畜藏へおきてエジプトの國にのぞむ七年の饑饉に備へ國をして饑饉のために滅ざらしむべし
and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.'
37 パロとその諸の臣僕此事を善とす
And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants,
38 是に於てパロその臣僕にいふ我等神の靈のやどれる是のごとき人を看いだすをえんやと
and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, 'Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God [is]?'
39 しかしてパロ、ヨセフにいひけるは神是を盡く汝にしめしたまひたれば汝のごとく慧く賢き者なかるべし
and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;
40 汝わが家を宰るべしわが民みな汝の口にしたがはん唯位においてのみ我は汝より大なるべし
thou — thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.'
41 パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは視よ我汝をエジプト全國の冢宰となすと
And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'See, I have put thee over all the land of Egypt.'
42 パロすなはち指環をその手より脱して之をヨセフの手にはめ之を白布を衣せ金の索をその項にかけ
And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him [with] garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,
43 之をして己のもてる次の輅に乗しめ下にゐよと其前に呼しむ是彼をエジプト全國の冢宰となせり
and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he hath, and they proclaim before him, 'Bow the knee!' and — to put him over all the land of Egypt.
44 パロ、ヨセフにいひけるは我はパロなりエジプト全國に汝の允准をえずして手足をあぐる者なかるべしと
And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'I [am] Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;'
45 パロ、ヨセフの名をザフナテパネアと名けまたオンの祭司ポテパルの女アセナテを之にあたへて妻となさしむヨセフいでてエジプトの地をめぐる
and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt.
46 ヨセフはエジプトの王パロのまへに立し時三十歳なりきヨセフ、パロのまへを出て遍くエジプトの地を巡れり
And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt;
47 七年の豐年の中に地山なして物を生ず
and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls.
48 ヨセフすなはちエジプトの地にありしその七年の糧食を斂めてその糧食を邑々に藏む即ち邑の周圍の田圃の糧食を其邑の中に藏む
And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which [is] round about [each] city hath he put in its midst;
49 ヨセフ海隅の沙のごとく甚だ多く穀物を儲へ遂に數ふることをやむるに至る其は數かぎり無ればなり
and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number.
50 饑饉の歳のいたらざる前にヨセフに二人の子うまる是はオンの祭司ポテパルの女アセナテの生たる者なり
And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him,
51 ヨセフその冢子の名をマナセ(忘)となづけて言ふ神我をしてわが諸の苦難とわが父の家の凡の事をわすれしめたまふと
and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: 'for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;'
52 又次の子の名をエフライム(多く生る)となづけていふ神われをしてわが艱難の地にて多くの子をえせしめたまふと
and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: 'for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.'
53 爰にエジプトの國の七年の豐年をはり
And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt,
54 ヨセフの言しごとく七年の凶年きたりはじむその饑饉は諸の國にあり然どエジプト全國には食物ありき
and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread;
55 エジプト全國饑し時民さけびてパロに食物を乞ふパロ、エジプトの諸の人にいひけるはヨセフに往け彼が汝等にいふところをなせと
and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, 'Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you — do.'
56 饑饉全地の面にありヨセフすなはち諸の倉廩をひらきてエジプト人に賣わたせり饑饉ますますエジプトの國にはげしくなる
And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph openeth all [places] which have [corn] in them, and selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt,
57 饑饉諸の國にはげしくなりしかば諸國の人エジプトにきたりヨセフにいたりて穀物を買ふ
and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph, for the famine was severe in all the earth.
