創世記 26

1 アブラハムの時にありし最初の饑饉の外に又其國に饑饉ありければイサク、ゲラルに往てペリシテ人の王アビメレクの許にいたれり

And there was a famine in the land, besides the former famine, which was in the time of Abraam; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Phylistines to Gerara.

2 時にヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるはエジプトに下るなかれ吾汝に示すところの地にをれ

And the Lord appeared to him and said, Go not down to Egypt, but dwell in the land, which I shall tell thee of.

3 汝此地にとどまれ我汝と共にありて汝を祝まん我是等の國を盡く汝および汝の子孫に與へ汝の父アブラハムに誓ひたる誓言を行ふべし

And sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give to thee and to thy seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I swore to thy father Abraam.

4 われ汝の子孫を増て天の星のごとくなし汝の子孫に凡て是等の國を與へん汝の子孫によりて天下の國民皆福祉を獲べし

And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in thy seed.

5 是はアブラハムわが言に順ひわが職守とわが誡命とわが憲法とわが律法を守りしに因てなり

Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

6 イサク乃ちゲラルに居しが

And Isaac dwelt in Gerara.

7 處の人其妻の事をとへば我妹なりと言ふリベカは觀に美麗かりければ其處の人リベカの故をもて我を殺さんと謂て彼をわが妻と言をおそれたるなり

And the men of the place questioned him concerning Rebecca his wife, and he said, She is my sister, for he feared to say, She is my wife, lest at any time the men of the place should slay him because of Rebecca, because she was fair.

8 イサク久しく彼處にをりし後一日ペリシテ人の王アビメレク牖より望みてイサクが其妻リベカと嬉戲るを見たり

And he remained there a long time, and Abimelech the king of Gerara leaned to look through the window, and saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife.

9 是に於てアビメレク、イサクを召て言けるは彼は必ず汝の妻なり汝なんぞ吾妹といひしやイサク彼に言けるは恐くは我彼のために死るならんと思たればなり

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said to him, Is she then thy wife? why hast thou said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, [I did so], for I said, Lest at any time I die on her account.

10 アビメレクいひけるは汝なんぞ此事を我等になすや民の一人もし輕々しく汝の妻と寢ることあらんその時は汝罪を我等に蒙らしめんと

And Abimelech said to him, Why hast thou done this to us? one of my kindred within a little had lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought [a sin of] ignorance upon us.

11 アビメレク乃ちすべて民に皆命じて此人と其妻にさはるものは必ず死すべしと言り

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying Every man that touches this man and his wife shall be liable to death.

12 イサク彼地に種播て其年に百倍を獲たりヱホバ彼を祝みたまふ

And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found in that year barley and hundred-fold, and the Lord blessed him.

13 其人大になりゆきて進て盛になり遂に甚だ大なる者となれり

And the man was exalted, and advancing he increased, till he became very great.

14 即ち羊と牛と僕從を多く有しかばペリシテ人彼を嫉みたり

And he had cattle of sheep, and cattle of oxen, and many tilled lands, and the Phylistines envied him.

15 其父アブラハムの世に其父の僕從が掘たる諸の井はペリシテ人之をふさぎて土を之にみてたり

And all the wells which the servants of his father had dug in the time of his father, the Phylistines stopped them, and filled them with earth.

16 茲にアビメレク、イサクに言けるは汝は大に我等よりも強大ければ我等をはなれて去れと

And Abimelech said to Isaac, Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we.

17 イサク乃ち彼處をさりてゲラルの谷に天幕を張て其處に住り

And Isaac departed thence, and rested in the valley of Gerara, and dwelt there.

18 其父アブラハムの世に掘たる水井をイサク茲に復び鑿り其はアブラハムの死たる後ペリシテ人之を塞ぎたればなり斯してイサク其父が之に名けたる名をもて其名となせり

And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

19 イサクの僕谷に掘て其處に泉の湧出る井を得たり

And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley of Gerara, and they found there a well of living water.

20 ゲラルの牧者此水は我儕の所屬なりといひてイサクの僕と爭ひければイサク其井の名をエセク（競爭）と名けたり彼等が己と之を競爭たるによりてなり

And the shepherds of Gerara strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying that the water was theirs; and they called the name of the well, Injury, for they injured him.

21 是に於て又他の井を鑿しが彼等是をも爭ひければ其名をシテナ（敵）となづけたり

And having departed thence he dug another well, and they strove also for that; and he named the name of it, Enmity.

22 イサク乃ち彼處より遷りて他の井を鑿けるが彼等之をあらそはざりければ其名をレホボテ（廣塲）と名けて言けるは今ヱホバ我等の處所を廣くしたまへり我等此地を繁衍ん

And he departed thence and dug another well; and they did not strive about that; and he named the name of it, Room, saying, Because now the Lord has made room for us, and has increased us upon the earth.

23 斯て彼其處よりベエルシバにのぼりしが

And he went up thence to the well of the oath.

24 其夜ヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるは我は汝の父アブラハムの神なり懼るるなかれ我汝と偕にありて汝を祝み我僕アブラハムのために汝の子孫を増んと

And the Lord appeared to him in that night, and said, I am the God of Abraam thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of Abraam thy father.

25 是に於て彼處に壇を築きてヱホバの名を龥び天幕を彼處に張り彼處にてイサクの僕井を鑿り

And he built there an altar, and called on the name of the Lord, and there he pitched his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well in the valley of Gerara.

26 茲にアビメレク其友アホザテ及び其軍勢の長ピコルと共にゲラルよりイサクの許に來りければ

And Abimelech came to him from Gerara, and so did Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army.

27 イサク彼等に言ふ汝等は我を惡み我をして汝等をはなれて去らしめたるなるに何ぞ我許に來るや

And Isaac said to them, Wherefore have ye come to me? whereas ye hated me, and sent me away from you.

28 彼等いひけるは我等確然にヱホバが汝と偕にあるを見たれば我等の間即ち我等と汝の間に誓詞を立て汝と契約を結ばんと謂へり

And they said, We have surely seen that the Lord was with thee, and we said, Let there be an oath between us and thee, and we will make a covenant with thee,

29 汝我等に惡事をなすなかれ其は我等は汝を害せず只善事のみを汝になし且汝を安然に去しめたればなり汝はヱホバの祝みたまふ者なり

that thou shalt do no wrong by us, as we have not abhorred thee, and according as we have treated thee well, and have sent thee forth peaceably; and now thou art blessed of the Lord.

30 イサク乃ち彼等のために酒宴を設けたれば彼等食ひ且飮り

And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

31 斯て朝夙に起て互に相誓へり而してイサク彼等を去しめたれば彼等イサクをはなれて安然にかへりぬ

And they arose in the morning, and swore each to his neighbour; and Isaac sent them forth, and they departed from him in safety.

32 其日イサクの僕來りて其ほりたる井につきて之に告て我等水を得たりといへり

And it came to pass in that day, that the servants of Isaac came and told him of the well which they had dug; and they said, We have not found water.

33 即ち之をシバとなづく此故に其邑の名は今日までベエルシバ（誓詞の井）といふ

And he called it, Oath: therefore he called the name of that city, the Well of Oath, until this day.

34 エサウ四十歳の時ヘテ人の女ユデテとヘテ人エロンの女バスマテを妻に娶り

And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite.

35 彼等はイサクとリベカの心の愁煩となれり

And they were provoking to Isaac and Rebecca.
