Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
茲にヨセフその側にたてる人々のまへに自ら禁ぶあたはざるに至りければ人皆われを離ていでよと呼はれり是をもてヨセフが己を兄弟にあかしたる時一人も之とともにたつものなかりき
2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
ヨセフ聲をあげて泣りエジプト人これを聞きパロの家またこれを聞く
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
ヨセフすなはちその兄弟にいひけるは我はヨセフなりわが父はなほ生ながらへをるやと兄弟等その前に愕き懼れて之にこたふるをえざりき
4 Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
ヨセフ兄弟にいひけるは請ふ我にちかよれとかれらすなはち近よりければ言ふ我はなんぢらの弟ヨセフなんぢらがエジプトにうりたる者なり
5 Now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
されど汝等我をここに賣しをもて憂ふるなかれ身を恨るなかれ神生命をすくはしめんとて我を汝等の前につかはしたまへるなり
6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
この二年のあひだ饑饉國の中にありしが尚五年の間耕すことも穫こともなかるべし
7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
神汝等の後を地につたへんため又大なる救をもて汝らの生命を救はんために我を汝等の前に遣したまへり
8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
然ば我を此につかはしたる者は汝等にはあらず神なり神われをもてパロの父となしその全家の主となしエジプト全國の宰となしたまへり
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not wait.
汝等いそぎ父の許にのぼりゆきて之にいへ汝の子ヨセフかく言ふ神われをエジプト全國の主となしたまへりわが所にくだれ遲疑なかれ
10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
汝ゴセンの地に住べし斯汝と汝の子と汝の子の子およびなんぢの羊と牛並に汝のすべて有ところの者われの近方にあるべし
11 There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
なほ五年の饑饉あるにより我其處にてなんぢを養はん恐くは汝となんぢの家族およびなんぢの凡て有ところの者匱乏ならん
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
汝等の目とわが弟ベニヤミンの目の視るごとく汝等にこれをいふ者はわが口なり
13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
汝等わがエジプトにて亨る顯榮となんぢらが見たる所とを皆悉く父につげよ汝ら急ぎて父を此にみちびき下るべし
14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
而してヨセフその弟ベニヤミンの頸を抱へて哭にベニヤミンもヨセフの頸をかかへて哭く
15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
ヨセフ亦その諸の兄弟に接吻し之をいだきて哭く是のち兄弟等ヨセフと言ふ
16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
茲にヨセフの兄弟等きたれりといふ聲パロの家にきこえければパロとその臣僕これを悦ぶ
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
パロすなはちヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟に言べし汝等かく爲せ汝等の畜に物を負せ往てカナンの地に至り
18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
なんぢらの父となんぢらの家族を携へて我にきたれ我なんぢらにエジプトの地の嘉物をあたへん汝等國の膏腴を食ふことをうべしと
19 Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
今汝命をうく汝等かく爲せ汝等エジプトの地より車を取ゆきてなんぢらの子女と妻等を載せ汝等の父を導きて來れ
20 Also, do not concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
また汝等の器を惜み視るなかれエジプト全國の嘉物は汝らの所屬なればなり
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
イスラエルの子等すなはち斯なせりヨセフ、パロの命にしたがひて彼等に車をあたへかつ途の餱糧をかれらにあたへたり
22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
又かれらに皆おのおの衣一襲を與へたりしがベニヤミンには銀三百と衣五襲をあたへたり
23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
彼また斯のごとく父に餽れり即ち驢馬十疋にエジプトの嘉物をおはせ牝の驢馬十疋に父の途の用に供ふる穀物と糧と肉をおはせて餽れり
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the way.”
斯して兄弟をかへして去しめ之にいふ汝等途にて相あらそふなかれと
25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
かれらエジプトより上りてカナンの地にゆきその父ヤコブにいたり
26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
之につげてヨセフは尚いきてをりエジプト全國の宰となりをるといふしかるにヤコブの心なほ寒冷なりき其はこれを信ぜざればなり
27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
彼等またヨセフの己にいひたる言をことごとく之につげたりその父ヤコブ、ヨセフがおのれを載んとておくりし車をみるにおよびて其氣おのれにかへれり
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
イスラエルすなはちいふ足りわが子ヨセフなほ生をるわれ死ざるまへに往て之を視ん
