創世記 31
1 茲にヤコブ、ラバンの子等がヤコブわが父の所有を盡く奪ひ吾父の所有によりて此凡の榮光を獲たりといふを聞り
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.
2 亦ヤコブ、ラバンの面を見るに己に對すること疇昔の如くならず
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.
3 時にヱホバ、ヤコブに言たまへるは汝の父の國にかへり汝の親族に至れ我汝と偕にをらんと
And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
4 是に於てヤコブ人をやりてラケルとレアを野に招きて群の所に至らしめ
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
5 之にいひけるは我汝等の父の面を見るに其我に對すること疇昔の如くならず然どわが父の神は我と偕にいますなり
and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 汝等がしるごとく我力を竭して汝らの父に事へたるに
And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 汝等の父我を欺きて十次もわが値を易たり然ども神彼の我を害するを容したまはず
And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 彼斑駮なる者は汝の傭値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑駮なり斑入の者は汝の値なるべしといへば群の生ところ皆斑入なり
If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
9 斯神汝らの父の家畜を奪て我に與へたまへり
And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
10 群の孕む時に當りて我夢に目をあげて見しに群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なりき
And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
11 時に神の使者夢の中に我に言ふヤコブよと我此にありと對へければ
And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
12 乃ち言ふ汝の目をあげて見よ群の上に乗る牡羊は皆斑入の者斑駮なる者白點なる者なり我ラバンが凡て汝に爲すところを鑒みる
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
13 我はベテルの神なり汝彼處にて柱に膏を沃ぎ彼處にて我に誓を立たり今起て斯地を出て汝の親族の國に歸れと
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
14 ラケルとレア對て彼にいひけるは我等の父の家に尚われらの分あらんや我等の產業あらんや
And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 我等は父に他人のごとくせらるるにあらずや其は父我等を賣り亦我等の金を蝕减したればなり
Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.
16 神がわが父より取たまひし財寶は我等とわれらの子女の所屬なり然ば都て神の汝に言たまひし事を爲せ
For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
17 是に於てヤコブ起て子等と妻等を駱駝に乗せ
And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
18 其獲たる凡の家畜と凡の所有即ちパダンアラムにてみづから獲たるところの家畜を携へ去てカナンの地に居所の其父イサクの所におもむけり
and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
19 時にラバンは羊の毛を剪んとて往てありラケル其父のテラピムを竊めり
And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
20 ヤコブは其去ことをスリア人ラバンに告ずして潛に忍びいでたり
And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
21 即ち彼その凡の所有を挈へて逃去り起て河を渡りギレアデの山にむかふ
And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
22 ヤコブの逃去しこと三日におよびてラバンに聞えければ
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 彼兄弟を率てその後を追ひしが七日路をへてギレアデの山にて之に追及ぬ
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
24 神夜の夢にスリア人ラバンに臨みて汝愼みて善も惡もヤコブに道なかれと之に告たまへり
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 ラバン遂にヤコブに追及しがヤコブは山に天幕を張ゐたればラバンもその兄弟と共にギレアデの山に天幕をはれり
And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
26 而してラバン、ヤコブに言けるは汝我に知しめずして忍びいで吾女等を劍をもて執たる者のごとくにひき往り何ぞかかる事をなすや
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
27 何故に汝潛に逃さり我をはなれて忍いで我につげざりしや我歡喜と歌謠と鼗と琴をもて汝を送りしならんを
Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;
28 何ぞ我をしてわが孫と女に接吻するを得ざらしめしや汝愚妄なる事をなせり
and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
29 汝等に害をくはふるの能わが手にあり然ど汝等の父の神昨夜我に告て汝つつしみて善も惡もヤコブに語べからずといへり
It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 汝今父の家を甚く戀て歸んと願ふは善れども何ぞわが神を竊みたるや
And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?
31 ヤコブ答へてラバンにいひけるは恐くは汝強て女を我より奪ならんと思ひて懼れたればなり
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32 汝の神を持る者を見ば之を生しおくなかれ我等の兄弟等の前にて汝の何物我の許にあるかをみわけて之を汝に取れと其はヤコブ、ラケルが之を竊しを知ざればなり
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 是に於てラバン、ヤコブの天幕に入りレアの天幕に入りまた二人の婢の天幕にいりしが視いださざればレアの天幕を出てラケルの天幕にいる
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 ラケル已にテラピムを執て之を駱駝の鞍の下にいれて其上に坐しければラバン遍く天幕の中をさぐりたれども見いださざりき
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
35 時にラケル父にいひけるは婦女の經の習例の事わが身にあれば父の前に起あたはず願くは主之を怒り給ふなかれと是をもて彼さがしたれども遂にテラピムを見いださざりき
And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
36 是に於てヤコブ怒てラバンを謫即ちヤコブ應てラバンに言けるは我何の愆あり何の罪ありてか汝火急く我をおふや
And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
37 汝わが物を盡く索たるが汝の家の何物を見いだしたるや此にわが兄弟と汝の兄弟の前に其を置て我等二人の間をさばかしめよ
Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
38 我この二十年汝とともにありしが汝の牝綿羊と牝山羊其胎を殰ねしことなし又汝の群の牡綿羊は我食はざりき
These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
39 又噛裂れたる者は我これを汝の所に持きたらずして自ら之を補へり又晝竊るるも夜竊るるも汝わが手より之を要めたり
What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 我は是ありつ晝は暑に夜は寒に犯されて目も寐るの遑なく
Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
41 此二十年汝の家にありたり汝の二人の女の爲に十四年汝の群のために六年汝に事たり然に汝は十次もわが値を易たり
I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 若わが父の神アブラハムの神イサクのの畏む者我とともにいますにあらざれば汝今必ず我を空手にて去しめしならん神わが苦難とわが手の勞苦をかへりみて昨夜汝を責たまへるなり
Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
43 ラバン應てヤコブに言けるは女等はわが女子等はわが子群はわが群汝が見る者は皆わが所屬なり我今日此わが女等とその生たる子等に何をなすをえんや
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
44 然ば來れ我と汝二人契約をむすび之を我と汝の間の證憑となすべし
And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
45 是に於てヤコブ石を執りこれを建て柱となせり
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
46 ヤコブ又その兄弟等に石をあつめよといひければ即ち石をとりて垤を成れり斯て彼等彼處にて垤の上に食す
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
47 ラバン之をエガルサハドタ(證憑の垤)と名けヤコブ之をギレアデ(證憑の垤)と名けたり
And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 ラバン此垤今日われとなんぢの間の證憑たりといひしによりて其名はギレアデとと稱らる
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
49 又ミヅパ(觀望樓)と稱らる其は彼我等が互にわかるるに及べる時ねがはくはヱホバ我と汝の間を監みたまへといひたればなり
— and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
50 彼又いふ汝もしわが女をなやまし或はわが女のほかに妻をめとらば人の我らと偕なる者なきも神と汝のあひだにいまして證をなしたまふ
if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
51 ラバン又ヤコブにいふ我われとなんぢの間にたてたる此垤を視よ柱をみよ
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
52 此垤證とならん柱證とならん我この垤を越て汝を害せじ汝この垤この柱を越て我を害せざれ
[let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
53 アブラハムの神ナホルの神彼等の父の神われらの間を鞫きたまへとヤコブ乃ちその父イサクの畏む者をさして誓へり
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 斯てヤコブ山にて犧牲をささげその兄弟を招きてパンを食しむ彼等パンを食ひて山に宿れり
And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
55 ラバン朝蚤に起き其孫と女に接吻して之を祝せりしかしてラバンゆきて其所にかへりぬ
And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
