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 when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Palestines 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 into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.
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 it, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfill the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
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 like the stars of heaven: and I will give to thy posterity all these countries: and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
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 Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my precepts and commandments, and observed my ceremonies and laws.
6 イサク乃ちゲラルに居しが
So Isaac abode 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 when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister; for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty.
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 when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech king of the Palestines looking out through a window, saw him playing 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 calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake.
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: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying:
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
He that shall touch this man’s wife, shall surely be put 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 that same year a hundredfold: 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 enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding 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 possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying 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
Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father Abraham had digged, filling them up 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
Insomuch that Abimelech himself 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
So he departed and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell 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 he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father Abraham had digged, and which, after his death, the Palestines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names by which his father before had called 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 they digged in the torrent, and found 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
But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny.
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 they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called 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
Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not: therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase 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 from that place to Bersabee,
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
Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father; do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
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 upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent: and commanded his servants to dig a well.
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
To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers came from Gerara,
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
Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out 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 answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant,
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 do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee: but with peace have sent thee away increased with the blessing 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 them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk:
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
Arising in the morning, they swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away peaceably to their own home.
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 behold the same day the servants of Isaac came, telling him of a well which they had digged, and saying: We have 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
Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to 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 being forty years old, married wives, Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon of the same place.
35 彼等はイサクとリベカの心の愁煩となれり
And they both offended the mind of Isaac and Rebecca.
