創世記 28
1 イサク、ヤコブを呼て之を祝し之に命じて言けるは汝カナンの女の中より妻を娶るなかれ
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 起てパダンアラムに往き汝の母の父ベトエルの家にいたり彼處にて汝の母の兄ラバンの女の中より妻を娶れ
Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
3 願くは全能の神汝を祝み汝をして子女を多く得せしめ且汝の子孫を増て汝をして多衆の民とならしめ
And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
4 又アブラハムに賜んと約束せし祝を汝および汝と共に汝の子孫に賜ひ汝をして神がアブラハムにあたへ給ひし此汝が寄寓る地を持たしめたまはんことをと
And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
5 斯てイサク、ヤコブを遣しければパダンアラムにゆきてラバンの所にいたれりラバンはスリア人ベトエルの子にしてヤコブとエサウの母なるリベカの兄なり
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 エサウはイサクがヤコブを祝して之をパダンアラムにつかはし彼處より妻を娶しめんとしたるを見又之を祝し汝はカナンの女の中より妻をめとるなかれといひて之に命じたることを見
And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 又ヤコブが其父母の言に順ひてパダンアラムに往しを見たり
and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
8 エサウまたカナンの女の其父イサクの心にかなはぬを見たり
And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
9 是においてエサウ、イシマエルの所にゆきて其有る妻の外に又アブラハムの子イシマエルの女ネバヨテの妹マハラテを妻にめとれり
And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 茲にヤコブ、ベエルシバより出たちてハランの方におもむきけるが
And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
11 一處にいたれる時日暮たれば即ち其處に宿り其處の石をとり枕となして其處に臥て寢たり
And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
12 時に彼夢て梯の地にたちゐて其巓の天に逹れるを見又神の使者の其にのぼりくだりするを見たり
And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
13 ヱホバ其上に立て言たまはく我は汝の祖父アブラハムの神イサクの神ヱホバなり汝が偃臥ところの地は我之を汝と汝の子孫に與へん
And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
14 汝の子孫は地の塵沙のごとくなりて西東北南に蔓るべし又天下の諸の族汝と汝の子孫によりて福祉をえん
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 また我汝とともにありて凡て汝が往ところにて汝をまもり汝を此地に率返るべし我はわが汝にかたりし事を行ふまで汝をはなれざるなり
And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
16 ヤコブ目をさまして言けるは誠にヱホバ此處にいますに我しらざりきと
And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
17 乃ち惶懼ていひけるは畏るべき哉此處是即ち神の殿の外ならず是天の門なり
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 かくてヤコブ朝夙に起き其枕となしたる石を取り之を立て柱となし膏を其上に沃ぎ
And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 其處を名をベテル（神殿）と名けたり其邑の名は初はルズといへり
And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
20 ヤコブ乃ち誓をたてていひけるは若神我とともにいまし此わがゆく途にて我をまもり食ふパンと衣る衣を我にあたへ
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
21 我をしてわが父の家に安然に歸ることを得せしめたまはばヱホバをわが神となさん
and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
22 又わが柱にたてたる此石を神の家となさん又汝がわれにたまふ者は皆必ず其十分の一を汝にささげん
And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
