創世記 50

1 ヨセフ父の面に俯し之をいだきて哭き之に接吻す

And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

2 而してヨセフその僕なる醫者に命じてその父に釁らしむ醫者イスラエルに釁れり

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 すなはち之がために四十日を用ふ其は尸に釁るにはこの日數を用ふべければなりエジプト人七十日の間之がために哭けり

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4 哀哭の日すぎし時ヨセフ、パロの家にかたりていひけるは我もし汝等の前に恩惠を得るならば請ふパロの耳にまうして言へ

And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 わが父我死ばカナンの地にわが掘おきたる墓に我をはうむれといひて我を誓はしめたり然ば請ふわれをして上りて父を葬らしめたまへまた歸りきたらんと

My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

6 パロいひけるは汝の父汝をちかはせしごとくのぼりて之を葬るべし

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 是に於てヨセフ父を葬らんとて上るパロの諸の臣パロの家の長老等エジプトの地の長老等

And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 およびヨセフの全家とその兄弟等およびその父の家之とともに上る只その子女と羊と牛はゴセンの地にのこせり

And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 また車と騎兵ヨセフにしたがひてのぼり其隊ははなはだ大なりき

And there went with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 彼等つひにヨルダンの外なるアタデの禾場に到り彼にて大に泣き痛く哀しむヨセフすなはち七日父のために哭きぬ

And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very grievous lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 その國の居人なるカナン人等アタデの禾場の哀哭を見て是はエジプト人の痛くなげくなりといへり是によりて其處の名をアベルミツライム(エジプト人の哀哭)と稱ふヨルダンの外にあり

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the threshingfloor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: therefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

12 ヤコブの子等その命ぜられたるごとく之になせり

And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:

13 すなはちヤコブの子等彼をカナンの地に舁ゆきて之をマクペラの田の洞穴にはうむれり是はアブラハムがヘテ人エフロンより田とともに購とりて所有の墓所となせし者にてマムレの前にあり

For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 ヨセフ父を葬りてのち其兄弟および凡て己とともにのぼりて父をはうむれる者とともにエジプトにかへりぬ

And Joseph returned to Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 ヨセフの兄弟等その父の死たるを見ていひけるはヨセフあるいはわれらを恨むることあらん又かならずわれらが彼になしたる諸の惡にむくゆるならんと

And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him.

16 すなはちヨセフにいひおくりけるはなんぢの父死るまへに命じて言けらく

And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,

17 汝ら斯ヨセフにいふべし汝の兄弟汝に惡をなしたれども冀はくはその罪咎をゆるせと然ば請ふ汝の父の神の僕等の咎をゆるせとヨセフその言を聞て啼泣り

So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

18 兄弟等もまた自らきたりヨセフの面の前に俯し我儕は汝の僕とならんといふ

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants.

19 ヨセフかれらに曰けるは懼るなかれ我あに神にかはらんや

And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

20 汝等は我を害せんとおもひたれども神はそれを善にかはらせ今日のごとく多の民の生命を救ふにいたらしめんとおもひたまへり

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

21 故に汝らおそるるなかれ我なんぢらと汝らの子女をやしなはんと彼等をなぐさめ懇に之にかたれり

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 ヨセフ父の家族とともにエジプトにすめりヨセフは百十歳いきながらへたり

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 ヨセフ、エフライムの三世の子女をみるにいたれりマナセの子マキルの子女もうまれてヨセフの膝にありき

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.

24 ヨセフその兄弟等にいひけるは我死ん神かならず汝等を眷顧みなんぢらを此地よりいだしてそのアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブに誓ひし地にいたらしめたまはんと

And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25 ヨセフ神かならず汝等をかへりみたまはん汝らわが骨をここよりたづさへのぼるべしといひてイスラエルの子孫を誓はしむ

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from here.

26 ヨセフ百十歳にして死たれば之に釁りて櫃にをさめてエジプトにおけり

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
