創世記 33
1 爰にヤコブ目をあげて視にエサウ四百人をひきゐて來しかば即ち子等を分ちてレアとラケルと二人の仕女とに付し
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 仕女とその子等を前におきレアとその子等を次におきラケルとヨセフを後におきて
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 自彼等の前に進み七度身を地にかがめて遂に兄に近づきけるに
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 エサウ趨てこれを迎へ抱きてその頸をかかへて之に接吻すしかして二人ともに啼泣り
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 エサウ目をあげて婦人と子等を見ていひけるは是等の汝とともなる者は誰なるやヤコブいひけるは神が僕に授たまひし子なりと
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your servant.
6 時に仕女等その子とともに近よりて拜し
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 レアも亦その子とともに近よりて拜す其後にヨセフとラケルちかよりて拜す
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 エサウ又いひけるは我あへる此諸の群は何のためなるやヤコブいふ主の目の前に恩を獲んがためなり
And he said, What mean you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 エサウいひけるは弟よわが有ところの者は足り汝の所有は汝自ら之を有てよ
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have unto yourself.
10 ヤコブいひけるは否我もし汝の目の前に恩をえたらんには請ふわが手よりこの禮物を受よ我汝の面をみるに神の面をみるがごとくなり汝また我をよろこぶ
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray you, if now I have found grace in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11 神我をめぐみたまひて我が有ところの者足りされば請ふわが汝にたてまつる禮物を受よと彼に強ければ終に受たり
Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 エサウいひけるは我等いでたちてゆかん我汝にさきだつべし
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
13 ヤコブ彼にいひけるは主のしりたまふごとく子等は幼弱し又子を持る羊と牛と我にしたがふ若一日これを驅すごさば群みな死ん
And he said unto him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should beat them one day, all the flock will die.
14 請ふわが主僕にさきだちて進みたまへ我はわが前にゆくところの家畜と子女に足にまかせて徐に導きすすみセイルにてわが主に詣らん
Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goes before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 エサウいひけるは然ば我わがひきゐる人數人を汝の所にのこさんヤコブいひけるは何ぞ此を須んや我をして主の目の前に恩を得せしめよ
And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needs it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 是に於てエサウは此日その途にしたがひてセイルに還りぬ
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 斯てヤコブ、スコテに進みて己のために家を建て又家畜のために廬を作れり是によりて其處の名をスコテ(廬)といふ
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 ヤコブ、パダンアラムより來りて恙なくカナンの地にあるシケムの邑に至り邑の前にその天幕を張り
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 遂にその天幕をはりしところの野をシケムの父ハモルの子等の手により金百枚にて購とり
And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 彼處に壇をきづきて之をエル、エロヘ、イスラエル(イスラエルの神なる神)となづけたり
And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
