創世記 31

1 茲にヤコブ、ラバンの子等がヤコブわが父の所有を盡く奪ひ吾父の所有によりて此凡の榮光を獲たりといふを聞り

And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying: 'Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.'

2 亦ヤコブ、ラバンの面を見るに己に對すること疇昔の如くならず

And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.

3 時にヱホバ、ヤコブに言たまへるは汝の父の國にかへり汝の親族に至れ我汝と偕にをらんと

And the LORD said unto Jacob: 'Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.'

4 是に於てヤコブ人をやりてラケルとレアを野に招きて群の所に至らしめ

And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

5 之にいひけるは我汝等の父の面を見るに其我に對すること疇昔の如くならず然どわが父の神は我と偕にいますなり

and said unto them: 'I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.

6 汝等がしるごとく我力を竭して汝らの父に事へたるに

And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.

7 汝等の父我を欺きて十次もわが値を易たり然ども神彼の我を害するを容したまはず

And your father hath mocked me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

8 彼斑駮なる者は汝の傭値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑駮なり斑入の者は汝の値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑入なり

If he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said thus: The streaked shall be thy wages; then bore all the flock streaked.

9 斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に輿へたまへり

Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

10 群の孕む時に當りて我夢に目をあげて見しに群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なりき

And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

11 時に神の使者夢の中に我に言ふヤコブよと我此にありと對へければ

And the angel of God said unto me in the dream: Jacob; and I said: Here am I.

12 乃ち言ふ汝の目をあげて見よ群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なり我ラバンが凡て汝に爲すところを鑒みる

And he said: Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.

13 我はベテルの神なり汝彼處にて柱に膏を沃ぎ彼處にて我に誓を立たり今起て斯地を出で汝の親族の國に歸れと

I am the God of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow a vow unto Me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.'

14 ラケルとレア對て彼にいひけるは我等の父の家に尚われらの分あらんや我等の産業あらんや

And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15 我等は父に他人のごとくせらるるにあらずや其は父我等を賣り亦我等の金を蝕减したればなり

Are we not accounted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our price.

16 神がわが父より取たまひし財寶は我等とわれらの子女の所屬なり然ば都て神の汝に言たまひし事を爲せ

For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.'

17 是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ

Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;

18 其獲たる凡の家畜と凡の所有即ちパダンアラムにてみづから獲たるところの家畜を携へ去てカナンの地に居る所の其父イサクの所におもむけり

and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.

19 時にラバンは羊の毛を剪んとて往てありラケル其父のテラピムを竊めり

Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.

20 ヤコブは其去ことをスリア人ラバンに告ずして潛に忍びいでたり

And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.

21 即ち彼その凡の所有を挈へて逃去り起て河を渡りギレアデの山にむかふ

So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

22 ヤコブの逃去しこと三日におよびてラバンに聞えければ

And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

23 彼兄弟を率てその後を追ひしが七日路をへてギレアデの山にて之に追及ぬ

And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

24 神夜の夢にスリア人ラバンに臨みて汝愼みて善も惡もヤコブに道なかれと之に告たまへり

And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night, and said unto him: 'Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.'

25 ラバン遂にヤコブに追及しがヤコブは山に天幕を張ゐたればラバンもその兄弟と共にギレアデの山に天幕をはれり

And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.

26 而してラバン、ヤコブに言けるは汝我に知しめずして忍びいで吾女等を劍をもて執たる者のごとくにひき往り何ぞかかる事をなすや

And Laban said to Jacob: 'What hast thou done, that thou hast outwitted me, and carried away my daughters as though captives of the sword?

27 何故に汝潛に逃さり我をはなれて忍いで我につげざりしや我歡喜と歌謠と鼗と琴をもて汝を送りしならんを

Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;

28 何ぞ我をしてわが孫と女に接吻するを得ざらしめしや汝愚妄なる事をなせり

and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.

29 汝等に害をくはふるの能わが手にあり然ど汝等の父の神昨夜我に告て汝つつしみて善も惡もヤコブに語べからずといへり

It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

30 汝今父の家を甚く戀て歸んと願ふは善れども何ぞわが神を竊みたるや

And now that thou art surely gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'

31 ヤコブ答へてラバンにいひけるは恐くは汝強て女を我より奪ならんと思ひて懼れたればなり

And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'Because I was afraid; for I said: Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.

32 汝の神を持る者を見ば之を生しおくなかれ我等の兄弟等の前にて汝の何物我の許にあるかをみわけて之を汝に取れと其はヤコブ、ラケルが之を竊しを知ざればなり

With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' — For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. —

33 是に於てラバン、ヤコブの天幕に入りレアの天幕に入りまた二人の婢の天幕にいりしが視いださざればレアの天幕を出てラケルの天幕にいる

And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

34 ラケル已にテラピムを執て之を駱駝の鞍の下にいれて其上に坐しければラバン遍く天幕の中をさぐりたれども見いださざりき

Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.

35 時にラケル父にいひけるは婦女の經の習例の事わが身にあれば父の前に起あたはず願くは主之を怒り給ふなかれと是をもて彼さがしたれども遂にテラピムを見いださざりき

And she said to her father: 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me.' And he searched, but found not the teraphim.

36 是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應へてラバンに言けるは我何の愆あり何の罪ありてか汝火急く我をおふや

And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?

37 汝わが物を盡く索たるが汝の家の何物を見いだしたるや此にわが兄弟と汝の兄弟の前に其を置て我等二人の間をさばかしめよ

Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.

38 我この二十年汝とともにありしが汝の牝綿羊と牝山羊其胎を殰ねしことなし又汝の群の雄綿羊は我食はざりき

These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.

39 又噛裂れたる者は我これを汝の所に持きたらずして自ら之を補へり又晝竊るるも夜竊るるも汝わが手より之を要めたり

That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40 我は是ありつ晝は暑に夜は寒に犯されて目も寐るの遑なく

Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

41 此二十年汝の家にありたり汝の二人の女の爲に十四年汝の群のために六年汝に事たり然に汝は十次もわが値を易たり

These twenty years have I been in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

42 若わが父の神アブラハムの神イサクのの畏む者我とともにいますにあらざれば汝今必ず我を空手にて去しめしならん神わが苦難とわが手の勞苦をかへりみて昨夜汝を責たまへるなり

Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'

43 ラバン應てヤコブに言けるは女等はわが女子等はわが子群はわが群汝が見る者は皆わが所屬なり我今日此わが女等とその生たる子等に何をなすをえんや

And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?

44 然ば來れ我と汝二人契約をむすび之を我と汝の間の證憑となすべし

And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'

45 是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり

And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

46 ヤコブ又その兄弟等に石をあつめよといひければ即ち石をとりて垤を成れり斯て彼等彼處にて垤の上に食す

And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.

47 ラバン之をエガルサハドタ（證憑の垤）と名けヤコブ之をギレアデ（證憑の垤）と名けたり

And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.

48 ラバン此垤今日われとなんぢの間の證憑たりといひしによりて其名はギレアデとと稱らる

And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;

49 又ミヅパ（觀望樓）と稱らる其は彼我等が互にわかるるに及べる時ねがはくはヱホバ我と汝の間を監みたまへといひたればなり

and Mizpah, for he said: 'The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

50 彼又いふ汝もしわが女をなやまし或はわが女のほかに妻をめとらば人の我らと偕なる者なきも神と汝のあひだにいまして證をなしたまふ

If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.'

51 ラバン又ヤコブにいふ我われとなんぢの間にたてたる此垤を視よ柱をみよ

And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.

52 此垤證とならん柱證とならん我この垤を越て汝を害せじ汝この垤この柱を越て我を害せざれ

This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

53 アブラハムの神ナホルの神彼等の父の神われらの間を鞫きたまへとヤコブ乃ちその父イサクの畏む者をさして誓へり

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 斯てヤコブ山にて犧牲をささげその兄弟を招きてパンを食はしむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり

And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.

55 ラバン朝夙に起き其孫と女に接吻して之を祝せりしかしてラバンゆきて其所にかへりぬ

And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
