Genesis 37
1 And Jacob lived in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
ヤコブはカナンの地に住り即ちその父が寄寓し地なり
2 And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
ヤコブの傳は左のごとしヨセフ十七歳にしてその兄弟と偕に羊を牧ふヨセフは童子にしてその父の妻ビルハの子およびジルパの子と侶たりしが彼等の惡き事を父につぐ
3 And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colors.
ヨセフは老年子なるが故にイスラエルその諸の兄弟よりも深くこれを愛しこれがために綵る衣を製れり
4 And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceful to him.
その兄弟等父がその諸の兄弟よりも深く彼を愛するを見て彼を惡み穩和に彼にものいふことを得せざりき
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
茲にヨセフ夢をみてその兄弟に告ければ彼等愈これを惡めり
6 And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは請ふわが夢たる此夢を聽け
7 I thought you were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
我等田の中に禾束をむすび居たるにわが禾束おき且立り而して汝等の禾束環りたちてわが禾束を拜せり
8 And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us, or shall you indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
その兄弟等之にいひけるは汝眞にわれらの君となるや眞に我等ををさむるにいたるやとその夢とその言のために益これを惡めり
9 And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
ヨセフ又一の夢をみて之をその兄弟に述ていひけるは我まら夢をみたるに日と月と十一の星われを拜せりと
10 And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which you have dreamed? shall indeed both I and your mother and your brethren come and bow before you to the earth?
則ちこれをその父と兄弟に述ければ父かれを戒めて彼にいふ汝が夢しこの夢は何ぞや我と汝の母となんぢの兄弟と實にゆきて地に鞠て汝を拜するにいたらんやと
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
斯しかばその兄弟かれを嫉めり然どその父はこの言をおぼえたり
12 And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
茲にその兄弟等シケムにゆきて父の羊を牧ゐたりしかば
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
イスラエル、ヨセフにいひけるは汝の兄弟はシケムにて羊を牧をるにあらずや來れ汝を彼等につかはさんヨセフ父にいふ我ここにあり
14 And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
父かれにいひけるは請ふ往て汝の兄弟と群の恙なきや否を見てかへりて我につげよと彼をヘブロンの谷より遣はしければ遂にシケムに至る。
15 And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
或人かれに遇ふに彼野にさまよひをりしかば其人かれに問て汝何をたづぬるやといひければ
16 And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
彼いふ我はわが兄弟等をたづぬ請ふかれらが羊をかひをる所をわれに告よ
17 And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
その人いひけるは彼等は此をされり我かれらがドタンにゆかんといふを聞たりと是に於てヨセフその兄弟の後をおひゆきドタンにて之に遇ふ
18 And they spied him from a distance before he drew near to them, and they wickedly took counsel to kill him.
ヨセフの彼等に近かざる前に彼ら之を遙に見てこれを殺さんと謀り
19 And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
互にいひけるは視よ作夢者きたり
20 Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
去來彼をころして阱に投いれ或惡き獸これを食たりと言ん而して彼の夢の如何になるかを觀るべし
21 And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
ルベン聞てヨセフを彼等の手より拯ひださんとして言けるは我等これを殺すべからず
22 And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
ルベンまた彼らにいひけるは血をながすなかれ之を曠野の此阱に投いれて手をこれにつくるなかれと是は之を彼等の手よりすくひだして父に歸んとてなりき
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
茲にヨセフ兄弟の許に到りければ彼等ヨセフの衣即ちその着たる綵る衣を褫ぎ
24 And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
彼を執て阱に投いれたり阱は空にしてその中に水あらざりき
25 And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they saw, and behold, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
斯して彼等坐りてパンを食ひ目をあげて見しに一群のイシマエル人駱駝に香物と乳香と沒藥をおはせてエジプトにくだりゆかんとてギレアデより來る
26 And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
ユダその兄弟にいひけるは我儕弟をころしてその血を匿すも何の益かあらん
27 Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren listened.
去來彼をイシマエル人に賣ん彼は我等の兄弟われらの肉なればわれらの手をかれにつくべからずと兄弟等これを善とす
28 And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
時にミデアンの商旅經過ければヨセフを阱よりひきあげ銀二十枚にてヨセフをイシマエル人に賣り彼等すなはちヨセフをエジプトにたづさへゆきぬ
29 And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he tore his garments.
茲にルベンかへりて阱にいたり見しにヨセフ阱にをらざりしかばその衣を裂き
30 And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
兄弟の許にかへりて言ふ童子はをらず嗚呼我何處にゆくべきや
31 And having taken the coat of Joseph, they killed a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
斯て彼等ヨセフの衣をとり牡山羊の羔をころしてその衣を血に濡し
32 And they sent the coat of many colors; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be your son's coat or no. And he recognized it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
その綵る衣を父におくり遣していひけるは我等これを得たりなんぢの子の衣なるや否を知れと
父これを知りていふわが子の衣なり惡き獸彼をくらへりヨセフはかならずさかれしならんと
34 And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
ヤコブその衣を裂き麻布を腰にまとひ久しくその子のためになげけり
35 And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
その子女みな起てかれを慰むれどもその慰謝をうけずして我は哀きつつ陰府にくだりて我子のもとにゆかんといふ斯その父かれのために哭ぬ (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
偖ミデアン人はエジプトにてパロの侍衞の長ポテパルにヨセフを賣り
