Genesis 22
1 Several years later, God tested Abraham [to find out] whether Abraham [really trusted in him and would obey him]. He called out to Abraham, and Abraham replied, “I’m here.”
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
2 God said, “Your son, Isaac, whom you love very much, is the only son [who is still here with you]. But take him and go together to the Moriah region. Offer him as a sacrifice like a burnt offering, on a hill that I will show you.”
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
3 So Abraham got up early the next morning, put a saddle on his donkey, and took with him two of his servants along with his son, Isaac. He also chopped some wood to kindle a fire for a burnt offering. Then they started traveling to the place God told him about.
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
4 On the third day of their travels, Abraham looked up and saw in the distance the place where God wanted him to go.
三日におよびてアブラハム目を擧て遙に其處を見たり
5 Abraham said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there. We will worship God there, and then we will come back to you.”
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
6 Then Abraham took the wood to kindle a fire for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, for him to carry. Abraham carried in his hand a [pan containing burning coals to start a] fire, and a knife, and the two of them walked along together.
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
7 Then Isaac spoke to his father Abraham, saying, “My father!” Abraham replied, “Yes, my son, I’m here!” Isaac said, “Look, we have wood and [coals to light] a fire, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
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
8 Abraham replied, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering.” So the two of them continued walking along together.
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
9 They arrived at the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built a stone altar and arranged the wood on top of it. Then he tied his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood.
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
10 Then Abraham took the knife and reached out to kill his son.
斯してアブラハム手を舒べ刀を執りて其子を宰んとす
11 But an angel [who was really Yahweh] called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” Abraham replied, “I’m here!”
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
12 The angel said, “Do not harm the boy or do anything to injure him, because now I know that you respect and obey God. I know that because you have not refused to sacrifice your son, the only son [who is still with you].”
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
13 Then Abraham looked up and saw that a ram was nearby, whose horns had been caught in a (thicket/clump of bushes). So Abraham went over and grabbed the ram [and killed it], and sacrificed it on the altar as a burnt offering, instead of his son.
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
14 Abraham named that place ‘Yahweh will provide’. And to the present day, people say, “On Yahweh’s mountain, he will provide.”
アブラハム其處をヱホバエレ(ヱホバ預備たまはん)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
15 The angel [who was really Yahweh] called out to Abraham from heaven a second time.
ヱホバの使者再天よりアブラハムを呼て
16 He said, “I, Yahweh your Lord, am telling you that you did what I told you, and you have not refused to sacrifice your only son [that is with you]. So I say, ‘I solemnly swear, with myself as my witness,
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
17 that some day your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. And your descendants will defeat their enemies and capture their cities [SYN].’
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
18 You obeyed me, so by means of your descendants the people of all the nations on the earth will be blessed.”
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
19 Then Abraham and Isaac returned to where his servants were waiting, and they went back home together to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
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
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham, “Your brother Nahor’s wife, Milcah, has also given birth to children. She has eight sons.”
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
21 The oldest son was Uz. The next was Buz. After him was Kemuel, the father of Aram.
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
22 After Kemuel was Kesad, then Hazo, then Pildash, then Jidlaph, then Bethuel,
其次はケセデ、ハゾ、ピルダシ、ヱデラフ、ベトエル
23 who was the father of Rebekah, [who later became Isaac’s wife]. Those were the eight sons of Milcah, wife of Abraham’s brother, Nahor.
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
24 Nahor also had a (concubine/female slave whom he took as a wife), whose name was Beumah. She gave birth to four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
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
