< Genesis 33 >

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
爰にヤコブ目をあげて視にエサウ四百人をひきゐて來しかば即ち子等を分ちてレアとラケルと二人の仕女とに付し
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
仕女とその子等を前におきレアとその子等を次におきラケルとヨセフを後におきて
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
自彼等の前に進み七度身を地にかがめて遂に兄に近づきけるに
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
エサウ趨てこれを迎へ抱きてその頸をかかへて之に接吻すしかして二人ともに啼泣り
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
エサウ目をあげて婦人と子等を見ていひけるは是等の汝とともなる者は誰なるやヤコブいひけるは神が僕に授たまひし子なりと
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
時に仕女等その子とともに近よりて拜し
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
レアも亦その子とともに近よりて拜す其後にヨセフとラケルちかよりて拜す
8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
エサウ又いひけるは我あへる此諸の群は何のためなるやヤコブいふ主の目の前に恩を獲んがためなり
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
エサウいひけるは弟よわが有ところの者は足り汝の所有は汝自ら之を有てよ
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
ヤコブいひけるは否我もし汝の目の前に恩をえたらんには請ふわが手よりこの禮物を受よ我汝の面をみるに神の面をみるがごとくなり汝また我をよろこぶ
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took [it].
神我をめぐみたまひて我が有ところの者足りされば請ふわが汝にたてまつる禮物を受よと彼に強ければ終に受たり
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
エサウいひけるは我等いでたちてゆかん我汝にさきだつべし
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
ヤコブ彼にいひけるは主のしりたまふごとく子等は幼弱し又子を持る羊と牛と我にしたがふ若一日これを驅すごさば群みな死ん
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
請ふわが主僕にさきだちて進みたまへ我はわが前にゆくところの家畜と子女に足にまかせて徐に導きすすみセイルにてわが主に詣らん
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk that [are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
エサウいひけるは然ば我わがひきゐる人數人を汝の所にのこさんヤコブいひけるは何ぞ此を須んや我をして主の目の前に恩を得せしめよ
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
是に於てエサウは此日その途にしたがひてセイルに還りぬ
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
斯てヤコブ、スコテに進みて己のために家を建て又家畜のために廬を作れり是によりて其處の名をスコテ(廬)といふ
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
ヤコブ、パダンアラムより來りて恙なくカナンの地にあるシケムの邑に至り邑の前にその天幕を張り
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
遂にその天幕をはりしところの野をシケムの父ハモルの子等の手により金百枚にて購とり
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
彼處に壇をきづきて之をエル、エロヘ、イスラエル(イスラエルの神なる神)となづけたり
