Genesis 25
1 [Some time after Sarah died], Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah.
アブラハム再妻を娶る其名をケトラといふ
2 She later gave birth to six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
彼ジムラン、ヨクシヤン、メダン、ミデアン、イシバク、シユワを生り
3 Jokshan became the father of two sons, Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Asshur people-group, the Letush people-group, and the Leum people-group.
ヨクシヤン、シバとデダンを生むデダンの子はアッシユリ族レトシ族リウミ族なり
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. They were all descendants of Keturah.
ミデアンの子はエパ、エペル、ヘノク、アビダ、エルダアなり是等は皆ケトラの子孫なり
5 Abraham declared that after he died, Isaac would inherit everything he owned.
アブラハム其所有を盡くイサクに與へたり
6 But while Abraham was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his (concubines/slaves that he had taken to be his secondary wives), and then he sent them away to live in a land to the east, to keep them far from his son Isaac.
アブラハムの妾等の子にはアブラハム其生る間の物をあたへて之をして其子イサクを離れて東にさりて東の國に至らしむ
7 Abraham lived until he was 175 years old.
アブラハムの生存へたる齡の日は即ち百七十五年なりき
8 He died at a very old age, joining his ancestors who had died previously [DOU].
アブラハム遐齡に及び老人となり年滿て氣たえ死て其民に加る
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried his body in the cave at Machpelah area, near Mamre, in the field that Abraham had previously bought from Ephron, one of the descendants of Heth.
其子イサクとイシマエル之をヘテ人ゾハルの子エフロンの野なるマクペラの洞穴に葬れり是はマムレの前にあり
10 Isaac and Ishmael buried his body there, where Abraham previously buried his wife Sarah.
即ちアブラハムがヘテの子孫より買たる野なり彼處にアブラハムと其妻サラ葬らる
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac moved to live near Beer-Lahai-Roi.
アブラハムの死たる後神其子イサクを祝みたまふイサクはベエルラハイロイの邊に住り
12 (These are/I will now give a list of) the descendants of Abraham’s son, Ishmael, to whom Sarah’s female slave, Hagar from Egypt, had given birth.
サラの侍婢なるエジプト人ハガルがアブラハムに生たる子イシマエルの傳は左のごとし
13 These are their names, in the order in which they were born: Ishmael’s oldest son was named Nebaioth. After him were born Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
イシマエルの子の名は其名氏と其世代に循ひて言ば是のごとしイシマエルの長子はネバヨテなり其次はケダル、アデビエル、ミブサム
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
ミシマ、ドマ、マツサ
15 Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
ハダデ、テマ、ヱトル、ネフシ、ケデマ
16 The twelve sons of Ishmael became the leaders/chiefs of people-groups that had those names. They each had their own settlement and campsite.
是等はイシマエルの子なり是等は其郷黨を其營にしたがひて言る者にして其國に循ひていへば十二の牧伯なり
17 Ishmael lived until he was 137 years old. Then he died, [EUP] joining his ancestors who had previously died.
イシマエルの齡は百三十七歳なりき彼いきたえ死て其民にくははる
18 His descendants (settled/went to live) in the area between Shur and Havilah, near the border of Egypt as a person travels toward Asshur. All of their camps were close to each other (OR, they all frequently attacked each other).
イシマエルの子等はハビラよりエジプトの前なるシユルまでの間に居住てアッスリヤまでにおよべりイシマエルは其すべての兄弟等のまへにすめり
19 (This is an account of/I will now tell you about) Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
アブラハムの子イサクの傳は左のごとしアブラハム、イサクを生り
20 and when Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel. Bethuel was one of the descendants of Aram from Paddan-Aram. Rebekah was the sister of Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group.
イサク四十歳にしてリベカを妻に娶れりリベカはパダンアラムのスリア人ベトエルの女にしてスリア人ラバンの妹なり
21 Almost 20 years after they were married, Rebekah still had no children. So Isaac prayed to Yahweh concerning his wife, and Yahweh answered his prayer. His wife Rebekah became pregnant.
イサク其妻の子なきに因て之がためにヱホバに祈願をたてければヱホバ其ねがひを聽たまへり遂に其妻リベカ孕みしが
22 She was carrying twins in her womb, and they kept jostling each other. So she said, “Why is it [that this is happening to me]?” So she asked Yahweh about it.
其子胎の内に爭そひければ然らば我いかで斯てあるべきと言て往てヱホバに問に
23 Yahweh said to her, “The older one of your twins will serve the younger one. The twins will be ancestors of two nations. And those two people-groups will separate from each other.” [CHI]
ヱホバ彼に言たまひけるは二の國民汝の胎にあり二の民汝の腹より出て別れん一の民は一の民よりも強かるべし大は小に事へんと
24 When Rebekah gave birth, it was true! Twin boys were born!
かくて臨月みちて見しに胎には孿ありき
25 The first one born was red, and his body had hair all over it, like a garment made of hair. So they named him Esau, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘hairy'].
先に出たる者は赤くして躰中裘の如し其名をエサウと名けたり
26 Then his brother was born, grasping Esau’s heel. So they named him Jacob, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘heel’]. Isaac was 60 years old when the twins were born.
其後に弟出たるが其手にエサウの踵を持り其名をヤコブとなづけたりリベカが彼等を生し時イサクは六十歳なりき
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He spent a lot of time out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed close to the campsite.
茲に童子人となりしがエサウは巧なる獵人にして野の人となりヤコブは質樸なる人にして天幕に居ものとなれり
28 Isaac liked Esau more, because he enjoyed the taste of the meat of the animals that Esau killed. But Rebekah liked Jacob more.
イサクは麆を嗜によりてエサウを愛したりしがリベカはヤコブを愛したり
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came home from the field, very hungry.
茲にヤコブ羹を煮たり時にエサウ野より來りて憊れ居り
30 He said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stew to eat right now, because I am very hungry!” [That is why Esau’s other name was Edom, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘red]’.]
エサウ、ヤコブにむかひ我憊れたれば請ふ其紅羹其處にある紅羹を我にのませよといふ是をもて彼の名はエドム(紅)と稱らる
31 Jacob said, “I will give you some if you sell me (your birthright/the privileges you have because you are the firstborn son).”
ヤコブ言けるは今日汝の家督の權を我に鬻れ
32 Esau replied, “Well, I am about to die [from being so hungry]. [If I die now], (my birthright will not benefit me./What good will my birthright be to me?)” [RHQ]
エサウいふ我は死んとして居る此家督の權我に何の益をなさんや
33 Jacob said, “(Swear to/Solemnly promise) me that you are giving me the privileges that you will have from being the firstborn son!” So that is what Esau did. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
ヤコブまた言けるは今日我に誓へと彼すなはち誓て其家督の權をヤコブに鬻ぬ
34 Then Jacob gave to Esau some bread and some stew made of lentils/beans. Esau ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing that, Esau showed that he (was not interested in/did not value) the privileges that would be his because of being the firstborn son.
是に於てヤコブ、パンと扁豆の羹とをエサウに與へければ食且飮て起て去り斯エサウ家督の權を藐視じたり
