Genesis 47

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

茲にヨセフゆきてパロにつげていひけるはわが父と兄弟およびその羊と牛と諸の所有物カナンの地よりいたれり彼らはゴセンの地にをると

2 And from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

その兄弟の中より五人をとりてこれをパロにまみえしむ

3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.

パロ、ヨセフの兄弟等にいひけるは汝らの業は何なるか彼等パロにいふ僕等は牧者なりわれらも先祖等もともにしかりと

4 And they said unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants’ flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

かれら又パロにいひけるは此國に寓らんとて我等はきたる其はカナンの地に饑饉はげしくして僕等の群をやしなふ牧場なければなりされば請ふ僕等をしてゴセンの地にすましめたまへ

5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:

パロ、ヨセフにかたりていふ汝の父と兄弟汝の所にきたれり

6 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

エジプトの地はなんぢの前にあり地の善き處に汝の父と兄弟をすましめよすなはちゴセンの地にかれらをすましめよ汝もし彼等の中に才能ある者あるをしらば其人々をしてわが家畜をつかさどらしめよ

7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

ヨセフまた父ヤコブを引ていりパロの前にたたしむヤコブ、パロを祝す

8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?

パロ、ヤコブにいふ汝の齡の日は幾何なるか

9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

ヤコブ、パロにいひけるはわが旅路の年月は百三十年にいたる我が齡の日は僅少にして且惡かり未だわが先祖等の齡の日と旅路の日にはおよばざるなり

10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

ヤコブ、パロを祝しパロのまへよりいでさりぬ

11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

ヨセフ、パロの命ぜしごとくその父と兄弟に居所を與へエジプトの國の中の善き地即ちラメセスの地をかれらにあたへて所有となさしむ

12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.

ヨセフその父と兄弟と父の全家にその子の數にしたがひて食物をあたへて養へり

13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

却説饑饉ははなはだはげしくして全國に食物なくエジプトの國とカナンの國饑饉のために弱れり

14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

ヨセフ穀物を賣あたへてエジプトの地とカナンの地にありし金をことごとく斂む而してヨセフその金をパロの家にもちきたる

15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for [our] money faileth.

エジプトの國とカナンの國に金つきたればエジプト人みなヨセフにいたりていふ我等に食物をあたへよ如何ぞなんぢの前に死べけんや金すでにたえたり

16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

ヨセフいひけるは汝等の家畜をいだせ金もしたえたらば我なんぢらの家畜にかへて與ふべしと

17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.

かれら乃ちその家畜をヨセフにひききたりければヨセフその馬と羊の群と牛の群および驢馬にかへて食物をかれらにあたへそのすべての家畜のために其年のあひだ食物をあたへてこれをやしなふ

18 And when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord’s; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

かくてその年暮けるが明年にいたりて人衆またヨセフにきたりて之にいふ我等主に隱すところなしわれらの金は竭たりまたわれらの畜の群は主に皈す主のまへにいだすべき者は何ものこりをらず唯われらの身體と田地あるのみ

19 wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.

われらいかんぞわれらの田地とともに汝の目のまへに死亡ぶべけんや我等とわれらの田地を食物に易て買とれ我等田地とともにパロの僕とならんまた我等に種をあたへよ然らばわれら生るをえて死るにいたらず田地も荒蕪にいたらじ

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them: and the land became Pharaoh’s.

是に於てヨセフ、エジプトの田地をことごとく購とりてパロに納る其はエジプト人饑饉にせまりて各人その田圃を賣たればなり是によりて地はパロの所有となれり

21 And as for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

また民はエジプトのこの境の極よりかの堺の極の者までヨセフこれを邑々にうつせり

22 Only the land of the priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land.

但祭司の田地は購とらざりき祭司はパロより祿をたまはりをればパロの與る祿を食たるによりてその田地を賣ざればなり

23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.

茲にヨセフ民にいひけるは視よ我今日汝等となんぢらの田地をかひてパロに納る視よこの種子を汝らに與ふ地に播べし

24 And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

しかして收穫の五分の一をパロに輸し四分をなんぢらに取て田圃の種としなんぢらの食としなんぢらの家族と子女の食とせよ

25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.

人衆いひけるは汝われらの生命を拯ひたまへりわれら主のまへに恩をえんことをねがふ我等パロの僕となるべしと

26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh’s.

ヨセフ、エジプトの田地に法をたてその五分の一をパロにをさめしむその事今日にいたる唯祭司の田地のみパロの有とならざりき

27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gat them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

イスラエル、エジプトの國に於てゴセンの地にすみ彼處に産業を獲その數増して大に殖たり

28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were an hundred forty and seven years.

ヤコブ、エジプトの國に十七年いきながらへたりヤコブの年齒の日は合て百四十七年なりき

29 And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

イスラエル死る日ちかよりければその子ヨセフをよびて之にいひけるは我もし汝のまへに恩を得るならば請ふなんぢの手をわが髀の下にいれ懇に眞實をもて我をあつかへ我をエジプトに葬るなかれ

30 but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

我は先祖等とともに偃んことをねがふ汝われをエジプトよ舁いだして先祖等の墓場にはうむれヨセフいふ我なんぢが言るごとくなすべしと

31 And he said, Swear unto me: and he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.

ヤコブまた我に誓へといひければすなはち誓へりイスラエル床の頭にて拜をなせり
