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
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from 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 Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your 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
May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be 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 give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, 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
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, 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
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "You must not take a wife from 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 obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan 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
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please 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
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
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward 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
He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
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 look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending on 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 God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
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
Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will 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 look, I am with you, and will watch over you wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you."
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
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
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
He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, 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 up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on 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
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
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
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing 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
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will 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 as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
