< Genesis 30 >

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
ラケル己がヤコブに子を生ざるを見て其姉を夢みヤコブに言けるは我に子を與へよ然らずば我死んと
2 Jacob’s anger burnt against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
ヤコブ、ラケルにむかひて怒を發して言ふ汝の胎に子をやどらしめざる者は神なり我神に代るをえんや
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
ラケルいふ吾婢ビルハを視よ彼の處に入れ彼子を生てわが膝に置ん然ば我もまた彼によりて子をうるにいたらんと
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
其仕女ビルハを彼にあたへて妻となさしめたりヤコブ即ち彼の處にいる
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
ビルハ遂にはらみてヤコブに子を生ければ
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
ラケルいひけるは神我を監み亦わが聲を聽いれて吾に子をたまへりと是によりて其名をダンと名けたり
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
ラケルの仕女ビルハ再び姙みて次の子をヤコブに生ければ
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
ラケル我神の爭をもて姉と爭ひて勝ぬといひて其名をナフタリと名けたり
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
茲にレア產ことの止たるを見しかば其仕女ジルパをとりて之をヤコブにあたへて妻となさしむ
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
レアの仕女ジルパ、ヤコブに子を產ければ
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
レア福來れりといひて其名をガドと名けたり
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
レアの仕女ジルパ次子をヤコブに生ければ
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
レアいふ我は幸なり女等我を幸なる者となさんと其名をアセルとなづけたり
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
茲に麥苅の日にルベン出ゆきて野にて戀茄を獲これを母レアの許にもちきたりければラケル、レアにいひけるは請ふ我に汝の子の戀茄をあたへよ
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
レア彼にいひけるは汝のわが夫を奪しは微き事ならんや然るに汝またわが子の戀茄をも奪んとするやラケルいふ然ば汝の子の戀茄のために夫是夜汝と寢べし
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
晩におよびてヤコブ野より來りければレア之をいでむかへて言けるは我誠にわが子の戀茄をもて汝を雇ひたれば汝我の所にいらざるべからずヤコブ即ち其夜彼といねたり
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
神レアに聽たまひければ彼妊みて第五の子をヤコブに生り
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
レアいひけるは我わが仕女を夫に與へたれば神我に其値をたまへりと其名をイツサカルと名けたり
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
レア復妊みて第六の子をヤコブに生り
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
レアいひけるは神我に嘉賚を貺ふ我六人の男子を生たれば夫今より我と偕にすまんと其名をゼブルンとなづけたり
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
其後彼女子を生み其名をデナと名けたり
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
茲に神ラケルを念ひ神彼に聽て其胎を開きたまひければ
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
彼妊みて男子を生て曰ふ神わが恥辱を洒ぎたまへりと
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
乃ち其名をヨセフと名けて言ふヱホバ又他の子を我に加へたまはん
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
茲にラケルのヨセフを生むに及びてヤコブ、ラバンに言けるは我を歸して故郷に我國に往しめよ
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
わが汝に事て得たる所の妻子を我に與へて我を去しめよわが汝になしたる役事は汝之を知るなり
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
ラバン彼にいひけるは若なんぢの意にかなはばねがはくは留れ我ヱホバが汝のために我を祝みしを卜ひ得たり
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
又言ふ汝の望む値をのべよ我之を與ふべし
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
ヤコブ彼にいひけるは汝は如何にわが汝に事しか如何に汝の家畜を牧しかを知る
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
わが來れる前に汝の有たる者は鮮少なりしが増て遂に群をなすに至る吾來りてよりヱホバ汝を祝みたまへり然ども我は何時吾家を成にいたらんや
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
彼言ふ我何を汝に與へんかヤコブいひけるは汝何者をも我に與ふるに及ばず汝若此事を我になさば我復汝の群を牧守らん
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one amongst the sheep, and the spotted and speckled amongst the goats. This will be my hire.
即ち我今日徧く汝の群をゆきめぐりて其中より凡て斑なる者點なる者を移し綿羊の中の凡て黑き者を移し山羊の中の點なる者と斑なる者を移さん是わが値なるべし
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted amongst the goats, and black amongst the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
後に汝來りてわが傭値をしらぶる時わが義我にかはりて應をなすべし若わが所に山羊の斑ならざる者點ならざる者あり綿羊の黑からざる者あらば皆盜る者となすべし
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
ラバンいふ汝の言の如くなさんことを願ふ
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones amongst the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
是に於て彼其日牡山羊の斑入なる者斑點なる者を移し凡て牝山羊の斑駮なる者斑點なる者都て身に白色ある者を移し又綿羊の中の凡て黑き者を移して其子等の手に付せり
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
而して彼己とヤコブの間に三日程の隔をたてたりヤコブはラバンの餘の群を牧ふ
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
茲にヤコブ楊柳と楓と桑の靑枝を執り皮を剥て白紋理を成り枝の白き所をあらはし
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
其皮をはぎたる枝を群の來りて飮むところの水槽と水鉢に立て群に向はしめ群をして水のみの來る時に孕ましむ
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
群すなはち枝の前に孕みて斑入の者斑駮なる者斑點なる者を產しかば
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
ヤコブ其羔羊を區分ちラバンの群の面を其群の斑入なる者と黑き者に對はしめたりしが己の群をば一所に置てラバンの群の中にいれざりき
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive amongst the rods;
又家畜の壯健き者孕みたる時はヤコブ水槽の中にて其家畜の目の前に彼枝を置き枝の傍において孕ましむ
42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
然ど家畜の羸弱かる時は之を置ず是に因て羸弱者はラバンのとなり壯健者はヤコブのとなれり
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
是に於て其人大に富饒になりて多の家畜と婢僕および駱駝驢馬を有にいたれり
