創世記 12
1 爰にヱホバ、アブラムに言たまひけるは汝の國を出で汝の親族に別れ汝の父の家を離れて我が汝に示さん其地に至れ
And Jehovah saith unto Abram, 'Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.
2 我汝を大なる國民と成し汝を祝み汝の名を大ならしめん汝は祉福の基となるべし
And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
3 我は汝を祝する者を祝し汝を詛ふ者を詛はん天下の諸の宗族汝によりて福禔を獲と
And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
4 アブラム乃ちヱホバの自己に言たまひし言に從て出たりロト彼と共に行りアブラムはハランを出たる時七十五歳なりき
And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.
5 アブラム其妻サライと其弟の子ロトおよび其集めたる總の所有とハランにて獲たる人衆を携へてカナンの地に往んとて出で遂にカナンの地に至れり
And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.
6 アブラム其地を經過てシケムの處に及びモレの橡樹に至れり其時にカナン人其地に住り
And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land.
7 茲にヱホバ、アブラムに顯現れて我汝の苗裔に此地に與へんといひたまへり彼處にて彼己に顯現れたまひしヱホバに壇を築けり
And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, 'To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.
8 彼其處よりベテルの東の山に移りて其天幕を張り西にベテル東にアイありき彼處にて彼ヱホバに壇を築きヱホバの名を龥り
And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.
9 アブラム尚進て南に遷れり
And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.
10 茲に饑饉其地にありければアブラム、エジプトに寄寓らんとて彼處に下れり其は饑饉其地に甚しかりければなり
And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land;
11 彼近く來りてエジプトに入んとする時其妻サライに言けるは視よ我汝を觀て美麗き婦人なるを知る
and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance;
12 是故にエジプト人汝を見る時是は彼の妻なりと言て我を殺さん然ど汝をば生存かん
and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, 'This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:
13 請ふ汝わが妹なりと言へ然ば我汝の故によりて安にしてわが命汝のために生存ん
say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'
14 アブラム、エジプトに至りし時エジプト人此婦を見て甚だ美麗となせり
And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair;
15 またパロの大臣等彼を視て彼をパロの前に譽めければ婦遂にパロの家に召入れられたり
and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house;
16 是に於てパロ彼のために厚くアブラムを待ひてアブラム遂に羊牛僕婢牝牡の驢馬および駱駝を多く獲るに至れり
and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.
17 時にヱホバ、アブラムの妻サライの故によりて大なる災を以てパロと其家を惱したまへり
And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house — great plagues — for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 パロ、アブラムを召て言けるは汝が我になしたる此事は何ぞや汝何故に彼が汝の妻なるを我に告ざりしや
And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife?
19 汝何故に彼はわが妹なりといひしや我幾彼をわが妻にめとらんとせり然ば汝の妻は此にあり挈去るべしと
Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'
20 パロ即ち彼の事を人々に命じければ彼と其妻および其有る諸の物を送りさらしめたり
And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
