創世記 21
1 ヱホバ其言し如くサラを眷顧みたまふ即ちヱホバ其語しごとくサラに行ひたまひしかば
The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.
2 サラ遂に孕み神のアブラハムに語たまひし期日に及びて年老たるアブラハムに男子を生り
Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3 アブラハム其生れたる子即ちサラが己に生る子の名をイサクと名けたり
Abraham called his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
4 アブラハム神の命じたまひし如く八日に其子イサクに割禮を行へり
Abraham circumcised his son, Isaac, when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 アブラハムは其子イサクの生れたる時百歳なりき
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
6 サラ言けるは神我を笑はしめたまふ聞く者皆我とともに笑はん
Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”
7 又曰けるは誰かアブラハムにサラ子女に乳を飮しむるにいたらんと言しものあらん然に彼が年老るに及びて男子を生たりと
She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”
8 偖其子長育ちて遂に乳を離るイサクの乳を離るる日にアブラハム大なる饗宴を設けたり
The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9 時にサラ、エジプト人ハガルがアブラハムに生たる子の笑ふを見て
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10 アブラハムに言けるは此婢と其子を遂出せ此婢の子は吾子イサクと共に嗣子となるべからざるなりと
Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”
11 アブラハム其子のために甚く此事を憂たり
The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
12 神アブラハムに言たまひけるは童兒のため又汝の婢のために之を憂るなかれサラが汝に言ところの言は悉く之を聽け其はイサクより出る者汝の裔と稱らるべければなり
God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
13 又婢の子も汝の胤なれば我之を一の國となさん
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”
14 アブラハム朝夙に起てパンと水の革嚢とを取りハガルに與へて之を其肩に負せ其子を携へて去しめければ彼往てベエルシバの曠野に躑躅しが
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 革嚢の水遂に罄たれば子を灌木の下に置き
The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
16 我子の死るを見るに忍ずといひて遙かに行き箭逹を隔てて之に對ひ坐しぬ斯相嚮ひて坐し聲をあげて泣く
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17 神其童兒の聲を聞たまふ神の使即ち天よりハガルを呼て之に言けるはハガルよ何事ぞや懼るるなかれ神彼處にをる童兒の聲を聞たまへり
God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18 起て童兒を起し之を汝の手に抱くべし我之を大なる國となさんと
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”
19 神ハガルの目を開きたまひければ水の井あるを見ゆきて革嚢に水を充し童兒に飮しめたり
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20 神童兒と偕に在す彼遂に成長り曠野に居りて射者となり
God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.
21 パランの曠野に住り其母彼のためにエジプトの國より妻を迎へたり
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
22 當時アビメレクと其軍勢の長ピコル、アブラハムに語て言けるは汝何事を爲にも神汝とともに在す
At that time, Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do.
23 然ば汝が我とわが子とわが孫に僞をなさざらんことを今此に神をさして我に誓へ我が厚情をもて汝をあつかふごとく汝我と此汝が寄留る地とに爲べし
Now, therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son. But according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have lived as a foreigner.”
24 アブラハム言ふ我誓はん
Abraham said, “I will swear.”
25 アブラハム、アビメレクの臣僕等が水の井を奪ひたる事につきてアビメレクを責ければ
Abraham complained to Abimelech because of a water well, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
26 アビメレク言ふ我誰が此事を爲しを知ず汝我に告しこと无く又我今日まで聞しことなし
Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”
27 アブラハム乃ち羊と牛を取て之をアビメレクに與ふ斯て二人契約を結べり
Abraham took sheep and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech. Those two made a covenant.
28 アブラハム牝の羔七を分ち置ければ
Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 アビメレク、アブラハムに言ふ汝此七の牝の羔を分ちおくは何のためなるや
Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs, which you have set by themselves, mean?”
30 アブラハム言けるは汝わが手より此七の牝の羔を取りて我が此井を掘たる證據とならしめよと彼等二人彼處に誓ひしによりて
He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.”
31 其處をベエルシバ(盟約の井)と名けたり
Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because they both swore an oath there.
32 斯彼等ベエルシバにて契約を結びアビメレクと其軍勢の長ピコルは起てペリシテ人の國に歸りぬ
So they made a covenant at Beersheba. Abimelech rose up with Phicol, the captain of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 アブラハム、ベエルシバに柳を植ゑ永遠に在す神ヱホバの名を彼處に龥り
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.
34 斯してアブラハム久くペリシテ人の地に留寄りぬ
Abraham lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines many days.
