創世記 26
1 アブラハムの時にありし最初の饑饉の外に又其國に饑饉ありければイサク、ゲラルに往てペリシテ人の王アビメレクの許にいたれり
There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 時にヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるはエジプトに下るなかれ吾汝に示すところの地にをれ
And God appeared to him, and said, "Do not go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.
3 汝此地にとどまれ我汝と共にありて汝を祝まん我是等の國を盡く汝および汝の子孫に與へ汝の父アブラハムに誓ひたる誓言を行ふべし
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
4 われ汝の子孫を増て天の星のごとくなし汝の子孫に凡て是等の國を與へん汝の子孫によりて天下の國民皆福祉を獲べし
I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the sky, and will give to your descendants all these lands, and by your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed,
5 是はアブラハムわが言に順ひわが職守とわが誡命とわが憲法とわが律法を守りしに因てなり
because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
6 イサク乃ちゲラルに居しが
So Isaac settled in Gerar.
7 處の人其妻の事をとへば我妹なりと言ふリベカは觀に美麗かりければ其處の人リベカの故をもて我を殺さんと謂て彼をわが妻と言をおそれたるなり
The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."
8 イサク久しく彼處にをりし後一日ペリシテ人の王アビメレク牖より望みてイサクが其妻リベカと嬉戲るを見たり
It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and look, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.
9 是に於てアビメレク、イサクを召て言けるは彼は必ず汝の妻なり汝なんぞ吾妹といひしやイサク彼に言けるは恐くは我彼のために死るならんと思たればなり
Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Look, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'"
10 アビメレクいひけるは汝なんぞ此事を我等になすや民の一人もし輕々しく汝の妻と寢ることあらんその時は汝罪を我等に蒙らしめんと
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."
11 アビメレク乃ちすべて民に皆命じて此人と其妻にさはるものは必ず死すべしと言り
Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
12 イサク彼地に種播て其年に百倍を獲たりヱホバ彼を祝みたまふ
Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. And God blessed him.
13 其人大になりゆきて進て盛になり遂に甚だ大なる者となれり
The man became wealthy, and prospered more and more until he became very wealthy.
14 即ち羊と牛と僕從を多く有しかばペリシテ人彼を嫉みたり
He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.
15 其父アブラハムの世に其父の僕從が掘たる諸の井はペリシテ人之をふさぎて土を之にみてたり
Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
16 茲にアビメレク、イサクに言けるは汝は大に我等よりも強大ければ我等をはなれて去れと
Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."
17 イサク乃ち彼處をさりてゲラルの谷に天幕を張て其處に住り
Isaac departed from there, camped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.
18 其父アブラハムの世に掘たる水井をイサク茲に復び鑿り其はアブラハムの死たる後ペリシテ人之を塞ぎたればなり斯してイサク其父が之に名けたる名をもて其名となせり
Isaac dug again the wells which the servants of his father Abraham had dug. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
19 イサクの僕谷に掘て其處に泉の湧出る井を得たり
Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of flowing water.
20 ゲラルの牧者此水は我儕の所屬なりといひてイサクの僕と爭ひければイサク其井の名をエセク（競爭）と名けたり彼等が己と之を競爭たるによりてなり
The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
21 是に於て又他の井を鑿しが彼等是をも爭ひければ其名をシテナ（敵）となづけたり
They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.
22 イサク乃ち彼處より遷りて他の井を鑿けるが彼等之をあらそはざりければ其名をレホボテ（廣塲）と名けて言けるは今ヱホバ我等の處所を廣くしたまへり我等此地を繁衍ん
He left that place, and dug another well. They did not argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now God has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."
23 斯て彼其處よりベエルシバにのぼりしが
He went up from there to Beersheba.
24 其夜ヱホバ彼にあらはれて言たまひけるは我は汝の父アブラハムの神なり懼るるなかれ我汝と偕にありて汝を祝み我僕アブラハムのために汝の子孫を増んと
And God appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
25 是に於て彼處に壇を築きてヱホバの名を龥び天幕を彼處に張り彼處にてイサクの僕井を鑿り
He built an altar there, and called on the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.
26 茲にアビメレク其友アホザテ及び其軍勢の長ピコルと共にゲラルよりイサクの許に來りければ
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
27 イサク彼等に言ふ汝等は我を惡み我をして汝等をはなれて去らしめたるなるに何ぞ我許に來るや
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
28 彼等いひけるは我等確然にヱホバが汝と偕にあるを見たれば我等の間即ち我等と汝の間に誓詞を立て汝と契約を結ばんと謂へり
They said, "We saw plainly that God was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
29 汝我等に惡事をなすなかれ其は我等は汝を害せず只善事のみを汝になし且汝を安然に去しめたればなり汝はヱホバの祝みたまふ者なり
that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of God."
30 イサク乃ち彼等のために酒宴を設けたれば彼等食ひ且飮り
He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
31 斯て朝夙に起て互に相誓へり而してイサク彼等を去しめたれば彼等イサクをはなれて安然にかへりぬ
They rose up some time in the morning, and swore an oath to each other. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
32 其日イサクの僕來りて其ほりたる井につきて之に告て我等水を得たりといへり
It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
33 即ち之をシバとなづく此故に其邑の名は今日までベエルシバ（誓詞の井）といふ
He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.
34 エサウ四十歳の時ヘテ人の女ユデテとヘテ人エロンの女バスマテを妻に娶り
When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hethite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hethite.
35 彼等はイサクとリベカの心の愁煩となれり
They brought grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
