創世記 27
1 イサク老て目くもりて見るあたはざるに及びて其長子エサウを召て之に吾子よといひければ答へて我此にありといふ
When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”
2 イサクいひけるは視よ我は今老て何時死るやを知ず
He said, “See now, I am old. I don’t know the day of my death.
3 然ば請ふ汝の器汝の弓矢を執て野に出でわがために麆を獵て
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and get me venison.
4 わが好む美味を作り我にもちきたりて食はしめよ我死るまへに心に汝を祝せん
Make me savoury food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die.”
5 イサクが其子エサウに語る時にリベカ聞ゐたりエサウは麆を獵て携きたらんとて野に往り
Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 是に於てリベカ其子ヤコブに語りていひけるは我聞ゐたるに汝の父汝の兄エサウに語りて言けらく
Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
7 吾ために麆をとりきたり美味を製りて我にくはせよ死るまへに我ヱホバの前にて汝を祝せんと
‘Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, that I may eat, and bless you before the LORD before my death.’
8 然ば吾子よ吾言にしたがひわが汝に命ずるごとくせよ
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 汝群畜の所にゆきて彼處より山羊の二箇の善き羔を我にとりきたれ我之をもて汝の父のために其好む美味を製らん
Go now to the flock and get me two good young goats from there. I will make them savoury food for your father, such as he loves.
10 汝之を父にもちゆきて食しめ其死る前に汝を祝せしめよ
You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.”
11 ヤコブ其母リベカに言けるは兄エサウは毛深き人にして我は滑澤なる人なり
Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
12 恐くは父我に捫ることあらん然らば我は欺く者と父に見えんされば祝をえずして返て呪詛をまねかん
What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing.”
13 其母彼にいひけるは我子よ汝の詛はるる所は我に歸せん只わが言にしたがひ往て取來れと
His mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me.”
14 是において彼往て取り母の所にもちきたりければ母すなはち父の好むところの美味を製れり
He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savoury food, such as his father loved.
15 而してリベカ家の中に己の所にある長子エサウの美服をとりて之を季子ヤコブに衣せ
Rebekah took the good clothes of Esau, her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob, her younger son.
16 又山羊の羔の皮をもて其手と其頸の滑澤なる處とを掩ひ
She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.
17 其製りたる美味とパンを子ヤコブの手にわたせり
She gave the savoury food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 彼乃ち父の許にいたりて我父よといひければ我此にありわが子よ汝は誰なると曰ふ
He came to his father, and said, “My father?” He said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 ヤコブ父にいひけるは我は汝の長子エサウなり我汝が我に命じたるごとくなせり請ふ起て坐しわが麆の肉をくらひて汝の心に我を祝せよ
Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me.”
20 イサク其子に言けるは吾子よ汝いかにして斯速に獲たるや彼言ふ汝の神ヱホバ之を我にあはせたまひしが故なり
Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” He said, “Because the LORD your God gave me success.”
21 イサク、ヤコブにいひけるはわが子よ請ふ近くよれ我汝に捫て汝がまことに吾子エサウなるや否やをしらん
Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
22 ヤコブ父イサクに近よりければイサク之にさはりていひけるは聲はヤコブの聲なれども手はエサウの手なりと
Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
23 彼の手其兄エサウの手のごとく毛深かりしに因て之を辨別へずして遂に之を祝したり
He didn’t recognise him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother Esau’s hands. So he blessed him.
24 即ちイサクいひけるは汝はまことに吾子エサウなるや彼然りといひければ
He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”
25 イサクいひけるは我に持きたれ吾子の麆を食ひてわが心に汝を祝せんと是に於てヤコブ彼の許にもちきたりければ食へり又酒をもちきたりければ飮り
He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless you.” He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.
26 かくて父イサク彼にいひけるは吾子よ近くよりて我に接吻せよと
His father Isaac said to him, “Come near now, and kiss me, my son.”
27 彼すなはち近よりて之に接吻しければ其衣の馨香をかぎて彼を祝していひけるは嗚呼吾子の香はヱホバの祝たまへる野の馨香のごとし
He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed.
28 ねがはくは神天の露と地の腴および饒多の穀と酒を汝にたまへ
God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
29 諸の民汝につかへ諸の邦汝に躬を鞠ん汝兄弟等の主となり汝の母の子等汝に身をかがめん汝を詛ふ者はのろはれ汝を祝す者は祝せらるべし
Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.”
30 イサク、ヤコブを祝することを終てヤコブ父イサクの前より出さりし時にあたりて兄エサウ獵より歸り來り
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31 己も亦美味をつくりて之を其父の許にもちゆき父にいひけるは父よ起て其子の麆を食ひて心に我を祝せよ
He also made savoury food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that your soul may bless me.”
32 父イサク彼にいひけるは汝は誰なるや彼いふ我は汝の子汝の長子エサウなり
Isaac his father said to him, “Who are you?” He said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 イサク甚大に戰兢ていひけるは然ば彼麆を獵て之を我にもちきたりし者は誰ぞや我汝がきたるまへに諸の物を食ひて彼を祝したれば彼まことに祝福をうべし
Isaac trembled violently, and said, “Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed.”
34 エサウ父の言を聞て大に哭き痛く泣て父にいひけるは父よ我を祝せよ我をも祝せよ
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me, even me also, my father.”
35 イサク言けるは汝の弟僞りて來り汝の祝を奪ひたり
He said, “Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.”
36 エサウいひけるは彼をヤコブ(推除者)となづくるは宜ならずや彼が我をおしのくる事此にて二次なり昔にはわが家督の權を奪ひ今はわが祝を奪ひたり又言ふ汝は祝をわがために殘しおかざりしや
He said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing.” He said, “Haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?”
37 イサク對てエサウにいひけるは我彼を汝の主となし其兄弟を悉く僕として彼にあたへたり又穀と酒とを彼に授けたり然ば吾子よ我何を汝になすをえん
Isaac answered Esau, “Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants. I have sustained him with grain and new wine. What then will I do for you, my son?”
38 エサウ父に言けるは父よ父の祝唯一ならんや父よ我を祝せよ我をも祝せよと聲をあげて哭ぬ
Esau said to his father, “Do you have just one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father.” Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 父イサク答て彼にいひけるは汝の住所は地の膏腴にはなれ上よりの天の露にはなるべし
Isaac his father answered him, “Behold, your dwelling will be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the sky from above.
40 汝は劍をもて世をわたり汝の弟に事ん然ど汝繋を離るる時は其軛を汝の頸より振ひおとすを得ん
You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you will shake his yoke from off your neck.”
41 エサウ父のヤコブを祝したる其祝の爲にヤコブを惡めり即ちエサウ心に謂けるは父の喪の日近ければ其時我弟ヤコブを殺さんと
Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 長子エサウの此言リベカに聞えければ季子ヤコブを呼よせて之に言けるは汝の兄エサウ汝を殺さんとおもひて自ら慰む
The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, “Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.
43 されば吾子よ我言にしたがひ起てハランにゆきわが兄ラバンの許にのがれ
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.
44 汝の兄の怒の釋るまで暫く彼とともに居れ
Stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away—
45 汝の兄の鬱憤釋て汝をはなれ汝彼になしたる事を忘るるにいたらば我人をやりて汝を彼處よりむかへん我何ぞ一日のうちに汝等二人を喪ふべけんや
until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?”
46 リベカ、イサクに言けるは我はヘテの女等のために世を厭ふにいたるヤコブ若此地の彼女等の如きヘテの女の中より妻を娶らば我身生るも何の利益あらんや
Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?”
