創世記 35

1 茲に神ヤコブに言たまひけるは起てベテルにのぼりて彼處に居り汝が昔に兄エサウの面をさけて逃る時に汝にあらはれし神に彼處にて壇をきづけと

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

2 ヤコブ乃ちその家人および凡て己とともなる者にいふ汝等の中にある異神を棄て身を清めて衣服を易よ

So Jacob told his household and all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves and change your garments.

3 我等起てベテルにのぼらん彼處にて我わが苦患の日に我に應へわが往ところの途にて我とともに在せし神に壇をきづくべし

Then let us arise and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

4 是に於て彼等その手にある異神およびその耳にある耳環を盡くヤコブに與へしかばヤコブこれをシケムの邊なる橡樹の下に埋たり

So they gave Jacob all their foreign gods and all their earrings, and Jacob buried them under the oak near Shechem.

5 斯て彼等いでたちしが神其四周の邑々をして懼れしめたまひければヤコブの子の後を追ふ者なかりき

As they set out, a terror from God fell over the surrounding cities, so that they did not pursue Jacob’s sons.

6 ヤコブ及び之と共なる諸の人遂にカナンの地にあるルズに至る是即ちベテルなり

So Jacob and everyone with him arrived in Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.

7 彼かしこに壇をきづき其處をエルベテルと名けたり是は兄の面をさけて逃る時に神此にて己にあらはれ給しによりてなり

There Jacob built an altar, and he called that place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed Himself to Jacob as he fled from his brother.

8 時にリベカの乳媼デボラ死たれば之をベテルの下にて橡樹の下に葬れり是によりてその樹の名をアロンバクテ（哀哭の橡）といふ

Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried under the oak below Bethel. So Jacob named it Allon-bachuth.

9 ヤコブ、パダンアラムより歸りし時神復これにあらはれて之を祝したまふ

After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.

10 神かれに言たまはく汝の名はヤコブといふ汝の名は重てヤコブとよぶべからずイスラエルを汝の名となすべしとその名をイスラエルと稱たまふ

And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.

11 神また彼にいひたまふ我は全能の神なり生よ殖よ國民および多の國民汝よりいで又王等なんぢの腰よりいでん

And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation—even a company of nations—shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.

12 わがアブラハムおよびイサクに與し地は我これを汝にあたへん我なんぢの後の子孫にその地をあたふべしと

The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.”

13 神かれと言たまひし處より彼をはなれて昇りたまふ

Then God went up from the place where He had spoken with him.

14 是に於てヤコブ神の己と言いひたまひし處に柱すなはち石の柱を立て其上に酒を灌ぎまた其上に膏を沃げり

So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken with him—a stone marker—and he poured out a drink offering on it and anointed it with oil.

15 而してヤコブ神の己にものいひたまひし處の名をベテルとなづけたり

Jacob called the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

16 かくてヤコブ等ベテルよりいでたちしがエフラタに至るまでは尚路の隔ある處にてラケル産にのぞみその産おもかりき

Later, they set out from Bethel, and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult.

17 彼難産にのぞめる時産婆之にいひけるは懼るなかれ汝また此男の子を得たり

During her severe labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for you are having another son.”

18 彼死にのぞみてその魂さらんとする時その子の名をベノニ（吾苦痛の子）と呼たり然ど其父これをベニヤミン（右手の子）となづけたり

And with her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni. But his father called him Benjamin.

19 ラケル死てエフラタの途に葬らる是即ちベテレヘムなり

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

20 ヤコブその墓に柱を立たり是はラケルの墓の柱といひて今日まで在り

Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day.

21 イスラエル復いでたちてエダルの塔の外にその天幕を張り

Israel again set out and pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.

22 イスラエルかの地に住る時にルベン往て父の妾ビルハと寢たりイスラエルこれを聞く夫ヤコブの子は十二人なり

While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Jacob had twelve sons:

23 即ちレアの子はヤコブの長子ルベンおよびシメオン、レビ、ユダ、イッサカル、ゼブルンなり

The sons of Leah were Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 ラケルの子はヨセフとベニヤミンなり

The sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

25 ラケルの仕女ビルハの子はダンとナフタリなり

The sons of Rachel’s maidservant Bilhah were Dan and Naphtali.

26 レアの仕女ジルパの子はガドとアセルなり是等はヤコブの子にしてパダンアラムにて彼に生れたる者なり

And the sons of Leah’s maidservant Zilpah were Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

27 ヤコブ、キリアテアルバのマムレにゆきてその父イサクに至れり是すなはちヘブロンなり彼處はアブラハムとイサクの寄寓しところなり

Jacob returned to his father Isaac at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

28 イサクの齡は百八十歳なりき

And Isaac lived 180 years.

29 イサク老て年滿ち氣息たえ死にて其民にくははれりその子エサウとヤコブ之をはうむる

Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
