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
Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
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
Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not towards him as before.
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
The LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
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
Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to 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 to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not towards me as before; but the God of my father has 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
You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
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
Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him 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, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
9 斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に輿へたまへり
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, 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
During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leapt on 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
The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
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
He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
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 Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
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
Rachel and Leah answered 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
Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.
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 has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, 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 on 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 took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to 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 had 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
Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
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. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face towards 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
Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had 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
He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. 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
God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak 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
Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped 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
Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like 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
Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine 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 didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you 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 hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak 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
Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you 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
Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your 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
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know 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
Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. 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, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them.
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
She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find 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
Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued 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
Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between 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 I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.
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 animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required 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
This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my 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 I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have 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
Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”
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
Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to 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
Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”
45 是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり
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
Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate 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
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
Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named 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 you, 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 you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
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
Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
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
May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to 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 between us.” Then 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
Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed 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
Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
