Genesis 42
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do all of you look one upon another?
ヤコブ、エジプトに穀物あるを見しかばその子等にいひけるは汝等なんぞたがひに面を見あはするや
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
ヤコブまたいふ我エジプトに穀物ありと聞り彼處にくだりて彼處より我等のために買きたれ然らばわれら生るを得て死をまぬかれんと
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
ヨセフの十人の兄弟エジプトにて穀物をかはんとて下りゆけり
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest possibly mischief befall him.
されどヨセフの弟ベニヤミンはヤコブこれをその兄弟とともに遣さざりきおそらくは災難かれの身にのぞむことあらんと思たればなり
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
イスラエルの子等穀物を買んとて來る者とともに來る其はカナンの地に饑饉ありたればなり
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
時にヨセフは國の總督にして國の凡の人に賣ことをなせりヨセフの兄弟等來りてその前に地に伏て拜す
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come all of you? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
ヨセフその兄弟を見てこれを知たれども知ざる者のごとくして荒々しく之にものいふ即ち彼等に汝等は何處より來れるやといへば彼等いふ糧食を買んためにカナンの地より來れりと
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
ヨセフはその兄弟をしりたれども彼等はヨセフをしらざりき
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, All of you are spies; to see the nakedness of the land all of you are come.
ヨセフその昔に彼等の事を夢たる夢をを憶いだし彼等に言けるは汝等は間者にして此國の隙を窺はんとて來れるなり
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are your servants come.
彼等之にいひけるはわが主よ然らず唯糧食をかはんとて僕等は來れるなり
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, your servants are no spies.
我等はみな一箇の人の子にして篤實なる者なり僕等は間者にあらず
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land all of you are come.
ヨセフ彼等にいひけるは否汝等は此地の隙を窺はんとて來れるなり
13 And they said, Your servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
彼等いひけるは僕等は十二人の兄弟にしてカナンの地の一箇の人の子なり季子は今日父とともにをる又一人はをらずなりぬ
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spoke unto you, saying, All of you are spies:
ヨセフかれらにいひけるはわが汝等につげて汝等は間者なりといひしはこの事なり
15 Hereby all of you shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh all of you shall not go forth behind, except your youngest brother come here.
汝等斯してその眞實をあかすべしパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等の末弟ここに來るにあらざれば汝等は此をいづるをえじ
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and all of you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely all of you are spies.
汝等の一人をやりて汝等の弟をつれきたらしめよ汝等をば繋ぎおきて汝等の言をためし汝らの中に眞實あるや否をみんパロの生命をさして誓ふ汝等はかならず間者なりと
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
彼等を皆ともに三日のあひだ幽囚おけり
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
三日におよびてヨセフ彼等にいひけるは我神を畏る汝等是なして生命をえよ
19 If all of you be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go all of you, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
汝等もし篤實なる者ならば汝らの兄弟の一人をしてこの獄に繋がれしめ汝等は穀物をたづさへゆきてなんぢらの家々の饑をすくへ
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and all of you shall not die. And they did so.
但し汝らの末弟を我につれきたるべしさすればなんぢらの言の眞實あらはれて汝等死をまぬかるべし彼等すなはち斯なせり
21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
茲に彼らたがひに言けるは我等は弟の事によりて信に罪あり彼等は彼が我らに只管にねがひし時にその心の苦を見ながら之を聽ざりき故にこの苦われらにのぞめるなり
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spoke I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and all of you would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
ルベンかれらに對ていひけるは我なんぢらにいひて童子に罪ををかすなかれといひしにあらずや然るに汝等きかざりき是故に視よ亦彼の血をながせし罪をたださると
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke unto them by an interpreter.
彼等はヨセフが之を解するをしらざりき其は互に通辨をもちひたればなり
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
ヨセフ彼等を離れゆきて哭き復かれらにかへりて之とかたり遂にシメオンを彼らの中より取りその目のまへにて之を縛れり
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
而してヨセフ命じてその器に穀物をみたしめ其人々の金を嚢に返さしめ又途の食を之にあたへしむヨセフ斯かれらになせり
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
彼等すなはち穀物を驢馬におはせて其處をさりしが
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass animal food in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
其一人旅邸にて驢馬に糧を與んとて嚢をひらき其金を見たり其は嚢の口にありければなり
28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God has done unto us?
彼その兄弟にいひけるは吾金は返してあり視よ嚢の中にありと是において彼等膽を消し懼れてたがひに神の我らになしたまふ此事は何ぞやといへり
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
かくて彼等カナンの地にかへりて父ヤコブの所にいたり其身にありし事等を悉く之につげていひけるは
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
彼國の主荒々しく我等にものいひ我らをもて國を偵ふ者となせり
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
我ら彼にいふ我等は篤實なる者なり間者にあらず
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
我らは十二人の兄弟にして同じ父の子なり一人はをらずなり季のは今日父とともにカナンの地にありと
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that all of you are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
國の主なるその人われらにいひけるは我かくして汝等の篤實なるをしらん汝等の兄弟の一人を吾もとにのこし糧食をたづさへゆきて汝らの家々の饑をすくへ
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that all of you are no spies, but that all of you are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and all of you shall trade in the land.
しかして汝らの季の弟をわが許につれきたれ然れば我なんぢらが間者にあらずして篤實なる者たるをしらん我なんぢらの兄弟を汝等に返し汝等をしてこの國にて交易をなさしむべしと
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
茲に彼等その嚢を傾たるに視よ各人の金包その嚢のなかにあり彼等とその父金包を見ておそれたり
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have all of you bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and all of you will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
その父ヤコブ彼等にいひけるは汝等は我をして子を喪はしむヨセフはをらずなりシメオンもをらずなりたるにまたベニヤミンを取んとす是みなわが身にかかるなり
37 And Reuben spoke unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to you again.
ルベン父に告ていふ我もし彼を汝につれかへらずば吾ふたりの子を殺せ彼をわが手にわたせ我之をなんぢにつれかへらん
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which all of you go, then shall all of you bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
ヤコブいひけるはわが子はなんぢらとともに下るべからず彼の兄は死て彼ひとり遺たればなり若なんぢらが行ところの途にて災難かれの身におよばば汝等はわが白髮をして悲みて墓にくだらしむるにいたらん (Sheol h7585)
