Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
斯てヤコブ其途にすすみて東の民の地にいたりて
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
見るに野に井ありて羊の群三其傍に臥ゐたり此井より群に飮へばなり大なる石井の口にあり
3 And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
羊の群皆其處に集る時に井の口より石をまろばして羊に水飼ひ復故のごとく井の口に石をのせおくなり
4 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
ヤコブ人々に言けるは兄弟よ奚よりきたれるや彼等いふ我等はハランより來る
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
ヤコブ彼等にいひけるは汝等ナホルの子ラバンをしるや彼等識といふ
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
ヤコブ又かれらにいひけるは彼は安きや彼等いふ安し視よ彼の女ラケル羊と偕に來ると
7 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
ヤコブ言ふ視よ日尚高し家畜を聚むべき時にあらず羊に飮ひて往て牧せよ
8 And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
彼等いふ我等しかする能はず群の皆聚るに及て井の口より石をまろばして羊に飮ふべきなり
9 While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
ヤコブ尚彼等と語れる時にラケル父の羊とともに來る其は之を牧居たればなり
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
ヤコブ其母の兄ラバンの女ラケルおよび其母の兄ラバンの羊を見しかばヤコブ進みよりて井の口より石をまろばし母の兄ラバンの羊に飮ひたり
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
而してヤコブ、ラケルに接吻して聲をあげて啼哭ぬ
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
即ちヤコブ、ラケルに己はその父の兄弟にしてリベカの子なることを告ければ彼はしりゆきて父に告たり
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
ラバン其妹の子ヤコブの事を聞しかば趨ゆきて之を迎へ之を抱きて接吻し之を家に導きいたれりヤコブすなはち此等の事を悉くラバンに述たり
14 And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
ラバン彼にいひけるは汝は誠にわが骨肉なりとヤコブ一月の間彼とともに居る
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
茲にラバン、ヤコブにいひけるは汝はわが兄弟なればとて空く我に役事べけんや何の報酬を望むや我に告よ
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
ラバン二人の女子を有り姉の名はレアといひ妹の名はラケルといふ
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
レアは目弱かりしがラケルは美しくして姝し
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
ヤコブ、ラケルを愛したれば言ふ我汝の季女ラケルのために七年汝に亊ん
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
ラバンいひけるは彼を他の人にあたふるよりも汝にあたふるは善し我と偕に居れ
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
ヤコブ七年の間ラケルのために勤たりしが彼を愛するが爲に此を數日の如く見做り
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
茲にヤコブ、ラバンに言けるはわが期滿たればわが妻をあたへて我をしてかれの處にいることを得せしめよ
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
是に於てラバン處の人を盡く集めて酒宴を設けたりしが
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
晩に及びて其女レアを携へて此をヤコブにつれ來れりヤコブ即ち彼の處にいりぬ
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
ラバンまた其侍婢ジルパを娘レアに與へて侍婢となさしめたり
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
朝にいたりて見るにレアなりしかばヤコブ、ラバンに言けるは汝なんぞ此事を我になしたるや我ラケルのために汝に役事しにあらずや汝なんぞ我を欺くや
26 And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
ラバンいひけるは姉より先に妹を嫁しむる事は我國にて爲ざるところなり
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other years.
其七日を過せ我等是をも汝に與へん然ば汝是がために尚七年我に事へて勤むべし
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
ヤコブ即ち斯なして其七日をすごせしかばラバン其女ラケルをも之にあたへて妻となさしむ
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
またラバン其侍婢ビルハを女ラケルにあたへて侍婢となさしむ
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
ヤコブまたラケルの所にいりぬ彼レアよりもラケルを愛し尚七年ラバンに事たり
31 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
ヱホバ、レアの嫌はるるを見て其胎をひらきたまへり然どラケルは姙なきものなりき
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
レア孕みて子を生み其名をルベンと名けていひけるはヱホバ誠にわが艱苦を顧みたまへりされば今夫我を愛せんと
33 And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
彼ふたたび孕みて子を産みヱホバわが嫌はるるを聞たまひしによりて我に是をもたまへりと言て其名をシメオンと名けたり
34 And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
彼また孕みて子を生み我三人の子を生たれば夫今より我に膠漆んといへり是によりてレビと名けたり
35 And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
彼復姙みて子を生み我今ヱホバを讚美んといへり是によりて其名をユダと名けたり是にいたりて産ことやみぬ
