創世記 22
1 これらの事の後、神はアブラハムを試みて彼に言われた、「アブラハムよ」。彼は言った、「ここにおります」。
It came about after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” Abraham said, “Here I am.”
2 神は言われた、「あなたの子、あなたの愛するひとり子イサクを連れてモリヤの地に行き、わたしが示す山で彼を燔祭としてささげなさい」。
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains there, which I will tell you about.”
3 アブラハムは朝はやく起きて、ろばにくらを置き、ふたりの若者と、その子イサクとを連れ、また燔祭のたきぎを割り、立って神が示された所に出かけた。
So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, along with Isaac his son. He cut the wood for the burnt offering, then set out on his journey to the place that God had told him about.
4 三日目に、アブラハムは目をあげて、はるかにその場所を見た。
On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place afar off.
5 そこでアブラハムは若者たちに言った、「あなたがたは、ろばと一緒にここにいなさい。わたしとわらべは向こうへ行って礼拝し、そののち、あなたがたの所に帰ってきます」。
Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there. We will worship and come again to you.”
6 アブラハムは燔祭のたきぎを取って、その子イサクに負わせ、手に火と刃物とを執って、ふたり一緒に行った。
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. He took in his own hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together.
7 やがてイサクは父アブラハムに言った、「父よ」。彼は答えた、「子よ、わたしはここにいます」。イサクは言った、「火とたきぎとはありますが、燔祭の小羊はどこにありますか」。
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father,” and he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “See, here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8 アブラハムは言った、「子よ、神みずから燔祭の小羊を備えてくださるであろう」。こうしてふたりは一緒に行った。
Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So they went on, both of them together.
9 彼らが神の示された場所にきたとき、アブラハムはそこに祭壇を築き、たきぎを並べ、その子イサクを縛って祭壇のたきぎの上に載せた。
When they came to the place that God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood on it. Then he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10 そしてアブラハムが手を差し伸べ、刃物を執ってその子を殺そうとした時、
Abraham reached out with his hand and took up the knife to kill his son.
11 主の使が天から彼を呼んで言った、「アブラハムよ、アブラハムよ」。彼は答えた、「はい、ここにおります」。
Then the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.”
12 み使が言った、「わらべを手にかけてはならない。また何も彼にしてはならない。あなたの子、あなたのひとり子をさえ、わたしのために惜しまないので、あなたが神を恐れる者であることをわたしは今知った」。
He said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to harm him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
13 この時アブラハムが目をあげて見ると、うしろに、角をやぶに掛けている一頭の雄羊がいた。アブラハムは行ってその雄羊を捕え、それをその子のかわりに燔祭としてささげた。
Abraham looked up and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 それでアブラハムはその所の名をアドナイ・エレと呼んだ。これにより、人々は今日もなお「主の山に備えあり」と言う。
So Abraham called that place, “Yahweh will provide,” and it is said to this day, “On the mountain of Yahweh it will be provided.”
15 主の使は再び天からアブラハムを呼んで、
The angel of Yahweh called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 言った、「主は言われた、『わたしは自分をさして誓う。あなたがこの事をし、あなたの子、あなたのひとり子をも惜しまなかったので、
and said—this is Yahweh's declaration—by myself I have sworn that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 わたしは大いにあなたを祝福し、大いにあなたの子孫をふやして、天の星のように、浜べの砂のようにする。あなたの子孫は敵の門を打ち取り、
I will surely bless you and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies.
18 また地のもろもろの国民はあなたの子孫によって祝福を得るであろう。あなたがわたしの言葉に従ったからである』」。
Through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
19 アブラハムは若者たちの所に帰り、みな立って、共にベエルシバへ行った。そしてアブラハムはベエルシバに住んだ。
So Abraham returned to his young men, and they departed and went together to Beersheba, and he lived at Beersheba.
20 これらの事の後、ある人がアブラハムに告げて言った、「ミルカもまたあなたの兄弟ナホルに子どもを産みました。
It came about after these things that Abraham was told, “Milkah has borne children, as well, to your brother Nahor.”
21 長男はウヅ、弟はブズ、次はアラムの父ケムエル、
They were Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 次はケセデ、ハゾ、ピルダシ、エデラフ、ベトエルです」。
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 ベトエルの子はリベカであって、これら八人はミルカがアブラハムの兄弟ナホルに産んだのである。
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These were the eight children that Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24 ナホルのそばめで、名をルマという女もまたテバ、ガハム、タハシおよびマアカを産んだ。
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
