Genesis 43
1 Now great famine was in the land.
饑饉その地にはげしかりき
2 And when they had eaten vp the vitaile, which they had brought from Egypt, their father sayd vnto them, Turne againe, and bye vs a little foode.
茲に彼等エジプトよりもちきたりし穀物を食つくせし時父かられらに再びゆきて少許の糧食を買きたれといひければ
3 And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.
ユダ父にかたりていひけるは彼人かたく我等をいましめていふ汝らの弟汝らとともにあるにあらざれば汝らはわが面をみるべからずと
4 If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
汝もし弟をわれらとともに遣さば我等下て汝のために糧食を買ふべし
5 But if thou wilt not send him, we wil not go downe: for the man said vnto vs, Looke me not in the face, except your brother be with you.
されど汝もし彼をつかはさずば我等くだらざるべし其はかの人われらにむかひ汝等の弟なんぢらとともにあるにあらざれば汝ら吾面をみるべからずといひたればなりと
6 And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
イスラエルいひけるは汝等なにゆゑに汝等に尚弟のあることを彼人につげて我を惡くなすや
7 And they answered, The man asked straitly of our selues and of our kinred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue ye any brother? And wee tolde him according to these wordes: could we knowe certainely that he would say, Bring your brother downe?
彼等いふ其人われらの模樣とわれらの親族を問ただして汝らの父は尚生存へをるや汝等は弟をもつやといひしにより其言の條々にしたがひて彼につげたるなり我等いかでか彼が汝等の弟をつれくだれといふならんとしるをえん
8 Then sayde Iudah to Israel his father, Send the boy with mee, that we may rise and goe, and that we may liue and not dye, both we, and thou, and our children.
ユダ父イスラエルにいひけるは童子をわれとともに遣はせ我等たちて往ん然らば我儕と汝およびわれらの子女生ることを得て死をまぬかるべし
9 I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.
我彼の身を保はん汝わが手にかれを問へ我もし彼を汝につれかへりて汝のまへに置ずば我永遠に罪をおはん
10 For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.
我儕もし濡滯ことなかりしならば必ずすでにゆきて再びかへりしならん
11 Then their father Israel sayd vnto them, If it must needes be so now, do thus: take of the best fruites of the lande in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosen, and a little hony, spices and myrrhe, nuttes, and almondes:
父イスラエル彼等にいひけるは然ば斯なせ汝等國の名物を器にいれ携へくだりて彼人に禮物とせよ乳香少許、蜜少許、香物、沒藥、胡桃および巴旦杏
12 And take double money in your hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.
又手に一倍の金を取りゆけ汝等の嚢の口に返してありし彼金を再び手にたづさへ行べし恐くは差謬にてありしならん
13 Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.
且また汝らの弟を挈へ起てふたたたび其人の所にゆけ
14 And God almightie giue you mercie in the sight of the man, that hee may deliuer you your other brother, and Beniamin: but I shall be robbed of my childe, as I haue bene.
ねがはくは全能の神その人のまへにて汝等を矜恤みその人をして汝等の他の兄弟とベニヤミンを放ちかへさしめたまはんことを若われ子に別るべくあらば別れんと
15 Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.
是に於てかの人々その禮物を執り一倍の金を手に執りベニヤミンを携へて起てエジプトにくだりヨセフの前に立つ
16 And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.
ヨセフ、ベニヤミンの彼らと偕なるを見てその家宰にいひけるはこの人々を家に導き畜を屠りて備へよこの人々卓午に我とともに食をなすべければなり
17 And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.
其人ヨセフのいひしごとくなし其人この人々をヨセフの家に導けり
18 Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.
人々ヨセフの家に導かれたるによりて懼れいひけるは初めにわれらの嚢にかへりてありし金の事のために我等はひきいれらる是われらを抑留へて我等にせまり執へて奴隸となし且われらの驢馬を取んとするなりと
19 Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
彼等すなはちヨセフの家宰に進みよりて家の入口にて之にかたりて
20 And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
いひけるは主よ我等實に最初くだりて糧食を買たり
21 And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.
しかるに我等旅邸に至りて嚢を啓き見るに各人の金その嚢の口にありて其金の量全かりし然ば我等これを手にもちかへれり
22 Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
又糧食を買ふ他の金をも手にもちくだる我等の金を嚢にいれたる者は誰なるかわれらは知ざるなり
23 And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.
彼いひけるは汝ら安ぜよ懼るなかれ汝らの神汝らの父の神財寶を汝等の嚢におきて汝らに賜ひしなり汝らの金は我にとどけりと遂にシメオンを彼等の所にたづさへいだせり
24 So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
かくて其人この人々をヨセフの家に導き水をあたへてその足を濯はしめ又その驢馬に飼草をあたふ
25 And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
彼等其處にて食をなすなりと聞しかば禮物を調へてヨセフの日午に來るをまつ
26 When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which was in their handes, and bowed downe to the grounde before him.
茲にヨセフ家にかへりしかば彼等その手の禮物を家にもちきたりてヨセフの許にいたり地に伏てこれを拜す
27 And he asked them of their prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?
ヨセフかれらの安否をとふていふ汝等の父汝らが初にかたりしその老人は恙なきや尚いきながらへをるや
28 Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
彼等こたへてわれらの父汝の僕は恙なくしてなほ生ながらへをるといひ身をかがめ禮をなす
29 And he lifting vp his eyes, beheld his brother Beniamin his mothers sonne, and sayde, Is this your yonger brother, of whome ye tolde me? And he said, God be merciful vnto thee, my sone.
ヨセフ目をあげてその母の子なる己の弟ベニヤミンを見ていひけるは是は汝らが初に我にかたりし汝らの若き兄弟なるや又いふわが子よ願はくは神汝をめぐみたまはんことをと
30 And Ioseph made haste (for his affection was inflamed towarde his brother, and sought where to weepe) and entred into his chamber, and wept there.
ヨセフその弟のために心焚るがごとくなりしかば急ぎてその泣べきところを尋ね室にいりて其處に泣り
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
而して面をあらひて出で自から抑へて食をそなへよといふ
32 And they prepared for him by himselfe, and for them by themselues, and for the Egyptians, which did eate with him, by themselues, because the Egyptians might not eate bread with the Ebrewes: for that was an abomination vnto the Egyptians.
すなはちヨセフはヨセフ彼等は彼等陪食するエジプト人はエジプト人と別々に之を供ふ是はエジプト人ヘブル人と共に食することをえざるによる其事エジプト人の穢はしとするところなればなり
33 So they sate before him: the eldest according vnto his age, and the yongest according vnto his youth. and the men marueiled among themselues.
かくて彼等ヨセフの前に坐るに長子をばその長たるにしたがひて坐らせ若き者をばその幼少にしたがひてすわらせければその人々駭きあへり
34 And they tooke meases from before him, and sent to them: but Beniamins mease was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and had of the best drinke with him.
ヨセフ己の前より皿を彼等に供ふベニヤミンの皿は他の人のよりも五倍おほかりきかれら飮てヨセフとともに樂めり
