Genesis 33
1 Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
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 He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
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 He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached 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 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged 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 looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your 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 female servants came forward with 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 Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with 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 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor 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 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
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 Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted 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 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus 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 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
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 Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd 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 Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at 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 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, 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 the road to 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 But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. 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 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near 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 He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
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 He erected an altar there 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
