< 創世記 34 >

1 レアのヤコブに生たる女デナその國の婦女を見んとていでゆきしが
And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she has borne to Jacob, goes out to look on the daughters of the land,
2 その國の君主なるヒビ人ハモルの子シケムこれを見て之をひきいれこれと寢てこれを辱しむ
and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, sees her, and takes her, and lies with her, and humbles her;
3 而してその心ふかくヤコブの女デナを戀ひて彼此女を愛しこの女の心をいひなだむ
and his soul cleaves to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loves the young person, and speaks to the heart of the young person.
4 斯てシケムその父ハモルに語り此少き女をわが妻に獲よといへり
And Shechem speaks to his father Hamor, saying, “Take for me this girl for a wife.”
5 ヤコブ彼がその女子デナを汚したることを聞しかどもその子等家畜を牧て野にをりしによりて其かへるまでヤコブ默しゐたり
And Jacob has heard that he has defiled his daughter Dinah, and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob kept silent until their coming.
6 シケムの父ハモル、ヤコブの許にいできたりて之と語らふ
And Hamor, father of Shechem, goes out to Jacob to speak with him;
7 茲にヤコブの子等野より來りしが之を聞しかば其人々憂へかつ甚く怒れり是はシケムがヤコブの女と寢てイスラエルに愚なる事をなしたるに因り是のごとき事はなすべからざる者なればなり
and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he has done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob—and so it is not done.
8 ハモル彼等に語りていひけるはわが子シケム心になんぢの女を戀ふねがはくは彼をシケムにあたへて妻となさしめよ
And Hamor speaks with them, saying, “Shechem, my son, his soul has cleaved to your daughter; please give her to him for a wife,
9 汝ら我らと婚姻をなし汝らの女を我らにあたへ我らの女汝らに娶れ
and join in marriage with us; you give your daughters to us, and you take our daughters for yourselves,
10 かくして汝等われらとともに居るべし地は汝等の前にあり此に住て貿易をなし此にて産業を獲よ
and you dwell with us, and the land is before you; dwell and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.”
11 シケム又デナの父と兄弟等にいひけるは我をして汝等の目のまへに恩を獲せしめよ汝らが我にいふところの者は我あたへん
And Shechem says to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which you say to me, I give;
12 いかに大なる聘物と禮物を要るも汝らがわれに言ふごとくあたへん唯この女を我にあたへて妻となさしめよ
multiply on me dowry and gift exceedingly, and I give as you say to me, and give to me the young person for a wife.”
13 ヤコブの子等シケムとその父ハモルに詭りて答へたり即ちシケムがその妹デナを汚したるによりて
And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled their sister Dinah),
14 彼等これに語りていひけるは我等この事を爲あたはず割禮をうけざる者にわれらの妹をあたふるあたはず是われらの恥辱なればなり
and say to them, “We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who has a foreskin, for it [is] a reproach to us.
15 然ど斯せば我等汝らに允さん若し汝らの中の男子みな割禮をうけてわれらの如くならば
Only for this we consent to you: if you are as we, to have every male of you circumcised,
16 我等の女子を汝等にあたへ汝らの女子をわれらに娶り汝らと偕にをりて一の民とならん
then we have given our daughters to you, and we take your daughters for ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;
17 汝等もし我等に聽ずして割禮をうけずば我等女子をとりて去べしと
and if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.”
18 彼等の言ハモルとハモルの子シケムの心にかなへり
And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son;
19 此若き人ヤコブの女を愛するによりて其事をなすを遲せざりき彼はその父の家の中にて最も貴れたる者なり
and the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he is honorable above all the house of his father.
20 ハモルとその子シケム乃ちその邑の門にいたり邑の人々に語りていひけるは
And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying,
21 是人々は我等と睦し彼等をして此地に住て此に貿易をなさしめよ地は廣くして彼らを容るにたるなり我ら彼らの女を妻にめとり我らの女をかれらに與へん
“These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, behold, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.
22 若唯われらの中の男子みな彼らが割礼をうくるごとく割禮を受なば此人々われらに聽て我等と偕にをり一の民となるべし
Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;
23 然ばかれらの家畜と財産と其諸の畜は我等が所有となるにあらずや只かれらに聽んしからば彼らわれらとともにをるべしと
their livestock, and their substance, and all their beasts—are they not ours? Only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.”
24 邑の門に出入する者みなハモルとその子シケムに聽したがひ邑の門に出入する男子皆割禮を受たり
And to Hamor, and to his son Shechem, do all those going out of the gate of his city listen, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
25 斯て三日におよび彼等その痛をおぼゆる時ヤコブの子二人即ちデナの兄弟なるシメオンとレビ各劍をとり往て思よらざる時に邑を襲ひ男子を悉く殺し
And it comes to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;
26 利刄をもてハモルとその子シケムをころしシケムの家よりデナを携へいでたり
and Hamor, and his son Shechem, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and go out.
27 而してヤコブの子等ゆきて其殺されし者を剥ぎ其邑をかすめたり是彼等がその妹を汚したるによりてなり
Jacob’s sons have come in on the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;
28 またその羊と牛と驢馬およびその邑にある者と野にある者
their flock and their herd, and their donkeys, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;
29 並にその諸の貨財を奪ひその子女と妻等を悉く擄にし家の中なる物を悉く掠めたり
and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.
30 ヤコブ、シメオンとレビに言けるは汝等我を累はし我をして此國の人即ちカナン人とベリジ人の中に避嫌れしむ我は數すくなければ彼ら集りて我をせめ我をころさん然ば我とわが家滅さるべし
And Jacob says to Simeon and to Levi, “You have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have struck me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.”
31 彼らいふ彼豈われらの妹を娼妓のごとくしてよからんや
And they say, “Does he make our sister as a harlot?”
