創世記 22
1 是等の事の後神アブラハムを試みんとて之をアブラハムよと呼たまふ彼言ふ我此にあり
After these things occurred, God tested Abraham, and he said to him, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
2 ヱホバ言給ひけるは爾の子爾の愛する獨子即ちイサクを携てモリアの地に到りわが爾に示さんとする彼所の山に於て彼を燔祭として獻ぐべし
He said to him: “Take your only begotten son Isaac, whom you love, and go into the land of vision. And there you shall offer him as a holocaust upon one of the mountains, which I will show to you.”
3 アブラハム朝夙に起て其驢馬に鞍おき二人の少者と其子イサクを携へ且燔祭の柴薪を劈りて起て神の己に示したまへる處におもむきけるが
And so Abraham, getting up in the night, harnessed his donkey, taking with him two youths, and his son Isaac. And when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he traveled toward the place, as God had instructed him.
4 三日におよびてアブラハム目を擧て遙に其處を見たり
Then, on the third day, lifting up his eyes, he saw the place at a distance.
5 是に於てアブラハム其少者に言けるは爾等は驢馬とともに此に止れ我と童子は彼處にゆきて崇拜を爲し復爾等に歸ん
And he said to his servants: “Wait here with the donkey. I and the boy will hurry further ahead to that place. After we have worshipped, will return to you.”
6 アブラハム乃ち燔祭の柴薪を取て其子イサクに負せ手に火と刀を執て二人ともに往り
He also took the wood for the holocaust, and he imposed it upon his son Isaac. And he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as the two continued on together,
7 イサク父アブラハムに語て父よと曰ふ彼答て子よ我此にありといひければイサク即ち言ふ火と柴薪は有り然ど燔祭の羔は何處にあるや
Isaac said to his father, “My father.” And he answered, “What do you want, son?” “Behold,” he said, “fire and wood. Where is the victim for the holocaust?”
8 アブラハム言けるは子よ神自ら燔祭の羔を備へたまはんと二人偕に進みゆきて
But Abraham said, “God himself will provide the victim for the holocaust, my son.” Thus they continued on together.
9 遂に神の彼に示したまへる處に到れり是においてアブラハム彼處に壇を築き柴薪を臚列べ其子イサクを縛りて之を壇の柴薪の上に置せたり
And they came to the place that God had shown to him. There he built an altar, and he set the wood in order upon it. And when he had bound his son Isaac, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
10 斯してアブラハム手を舒べ刀を執りて其子を宰んとす
And he reached out his hand and took hold of the sword, in order to sacrifice his son.
11 時にヱホバの使者天より彼を呼てアブラハムよアブラハムよと言へり彼言ふ我此にあり
And behold, an Angel of the Lord called out from heaven, saying, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he answered, “Here I am.”
12 使者言けるは汝の手を童子に按るなかれ亦何をも彼に爲べからず汝の子即ち汝の獨子をも我ために惜まざれば我今汝が神を畏るを知ると
And he said to him, “Do not extend your hand over the boy, and do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, since you have not spared your only begotten son for my sake.”
13 茲にアブラハム目を擧て視れば後に牡綿羊ありて其角林叢に繋りたりアブラハム即ち往て其牡綿羊を執へ之を其子の代に燔祭として獻げたり
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw behind his back a ram among the thorns, caught by the horns, which he took and offered as a holocaust, instead of his son.
14 アブラハム其處をエホバエレ（エホバ預備たまはん）と名く是に縁て今日もなほ人々山にヱホバ預備たまはんといふ
And he called the name of that place: ‘The Lord Sees.’ Thus, even to this day, it is said: ‘On the mountain, the Lord will see.’
15 ヱホバの使者再天よりアブラハムを呼て
Then the Angel of the Lord called out to Abraham a second time from heaven, saying:
16 言けるはヱホバ諭したまふ我己を指て誓ふ汝是事を爲し汝の子即ち汝の獨子を惜まざりしに因て
“By my own self, I have sworn, says the Lord. Because you have done this thing, and have not spared your only begotten son for my sake,
17 我大に汝を祝み又大に汝の子孫を増して天の星の如く濱の沙の如くならしむべし汝の子孫は其敵の門を獲ん
I will bless you, and I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 又汝の子孫によりて天下の民皆福祉を得べし汝わが言に遵ひたるによりてなりと
And in your offspring, all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed my voice.”
19 斯てアブラハム其少者の所に歸り皆たちて偕にベエルシバにいたれりアブラハムはベエルシバに住り
Abraham returned to his servants, and they went to Beersheba together, and he lived there.
20 是等の事の後アブラハムに告る者ありて言ふミルカ亦汝の兄弟ナホルにしたがひて子を生り
After these things occurred, it was reported to Abraham that Milcah, likewise, had borne sons for his brother Nahor:
21 長子はウヅ其弟はブヅ其次はケムエル是はアラムの父なり
Uz, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Kemuel, the father of the Syrians,
22 其次はケセデ、ハゾ、ピルダシ、ヱデラフ、ベトエル
and Chesed, and Hazo, likewise Pildash, and Jidlaph,
23 ベトエルはリベカを生り是八人はミルカがアブラハムの兄弟ナホルに生たる者なり
as well as Bethuel, of whom was born Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore for Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
24 ナホルの妾名はルマといふ者も亦テバ、ガハム、タハシおよびマアカを生り
In truth, his concubine, named Reumah, bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
