| 41-1 |
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. |
二年の後パロは夢を見た。夢に、彼はナイル川のほとりに立っていた。 |
| 41-2 |
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass. |
すると、その川から美しい、肥え太った七頭の雌牛が上がってきて葦を食っていた。 |
| 41-3 |
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river. |
その後、また醜い、やせ細った他の七頭の雌牛が川から上がってきて、川の岸にいた雌牛のそばに立ち、 |
| 41-4 |
And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. |
その醜い、やせ細った雌牛が、あの美しい、肥えた七頭の雌牛を食いつくした。ここでパロは目が覚めた。 |
| 41-5 |
And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good. |
彼はまた眠って、再び夢を見た。夢に、一本の茎に太った良い七つの穂が出てきた。 |
| 41-6 |
And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them. |
その後また、やせて、東風に焼けた七つの穂が出てきて、 |
| 41-7 |
And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. |
そのやせた穂が、あの太って実った七つの穂をのみつくした。ここでパロは目が覚めたが、それは夢であった。 |
| 41-8 |
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. |
朝になって、パロは心が騒ぎ、人をつかわして、エジプトのすべての魔術師とすべての知者とを呼び寄せ、彼らに夢を告げたが、これをパロに解き明かしうる者がなかった。 |
| 41-9 |
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: |
そのとき給仕役の長はパロに告げて言った、「わたしはきょう、自分のあやまちを思い出しました。 |
| 41-10 |
Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker: |
かつてパロがしもべらに向かって憤り、わたしと料理役の長とを侍衛長の家の監禁所にお入れになった時 |
| 41-11 |
and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. |
わたしも彼も一夜のうちに夢を見、それぞれ意味のある夢を見ましたが、 |
| 41-12 |
And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret. |
そこに侍衛長のしもべで、ひとりの若いヘブルびとがわれわれと共にいたので、彼に話したところ、彼はわれわれの夢を解き明かし、その夢によって、それぞれ解き明かしをしました。 |
| 41-13 |
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. |
そして彼が解き明かしたとおりになって、パロはわたしを職に返し、彼を木に掛けられました」。 |
| 41-14 |
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. |
そこでパロは人をつかわしてヨセフを呼んだ。人々は急いで彼を地下の獄屋から出した。ヨセフは、ひげをそり、着物を着替えてパロのもとに行った。 |
| 41-15 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it. |
パロはヨセフに言った、「わたしは夢を見たが、これを解き明かす者がない。聞くところによると、あなたは夢を聞いて、解き明かしができるそうだ」。 |
| 41-16 |
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. |
ヨセフはパロに答えて言った、「いいえ、わたしではありません。神がパロに平安をお告げになりましょう」。 |
| 41-17 |
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river: |
パロはヨセフに言った、「夢にわたしは川の岸に立っていた。 |
| 41-18 |
and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass: |
その川から肥え太った、美しい七頭の雌牛が上がってきて葦を食っていた。 |
| 41-19 |
and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: |
その後、弱く、非常に醜い、やせ細った他の七頭の雌牛がまた上がってきた。わたしはエジプト全国で、このような醜いものをまだ見たことがない。 |
| 41-20 |
and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: |
ところがそのやせた醜い雌牛が、初めの七頭の肥えた雌牛を食いつくしたが、 |
| 41-21 |
and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke. |
腹にはいっても、腹にはいった事が知れず、やはり初めのように醜かった。ここでわたしは目が覚めた。 |
| 41-22 |
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good: |
わたしはまた夢をみた。一本の茎に七つの実った良い穂が出てきた。 |
| 41-23 |
and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: |
その後、やせ衰えて、東風に焼けた七つの穂が出てきたが、 |
| 41-24 |
and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me. |
そのやせた穂が、あの七つの良い穂をのみつくした。わたしは魔術師に話したが、わたしにそのわけを示しうる者はなかった」。 |
| 41-25 |
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh. |
ヨセフはパロに言った、「パロの夢は一つです。神がこれからしようとすることをパロに示されたのです。 |
| 41-26 |
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. |
七頭の良い雌牛は七年です。七つの良い穂も七年で、夢は一つです。 |
| 41-27 |
And the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine. |
あとに続いて、上がってきた七頭のやせた醜い雌牛は七年で、東風に焼けた実の入らない七つの穂は七年のききんです。 |
| 41-28 |
That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh. |
わたしがパロに申し上げたように、神がこれからしようとすることをパロに示されたのです。 |
| 41-29 |
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: |
エジプト全国に七年の大豊作があり、 |
| 41-30 |
and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; |
その後七年のききんが起り、その豊作はみなエジプトの国で忘れられて、そのききんは国を滅ぼすでしょう。 |
| 41-31 |
and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous. |
後に来るそのききんが、非常に激しいから、その豊作は国のうちで記憶されなくなるでしょう。 |
| 41-32 |
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. |
パロが二度重ねて夢を見られたのは、この事が神によって定められ、神がすみやかにこれをされるからです。 |
| 41-33 |
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. |
それゆえパロは今、さとく、かつ賢い人を尋ね出してエジプトの国を治めさせなさい。 |
| 41-34 |
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. |
パロはこうして国中に監督を置き、その七年の豊作のうちに、エジプトの国の産物の五分の一を取り、 |
| 41-35 |
And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. |
続いて来る良い年々のすべての食糧を彼らに集めさせ、穀物を食糧として、パロの手で町々にたくわえ守らせなさい。 |
| 41-36 |
And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. |
こうすれば食糧は、エジプトの国に臨む七年のききんに備えて、この国のためにたくわえとなり、この国はききんによって滅びることがないでしょう」。 |
| 41-37 |
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. |
この事はパロとそのすべての家来たちの目にかなった。 |
| 41-38 |
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is? |
そこでパロは家来たちに言った、「われわれは神の霊をもつこのような人を、ほかに見いだし得ようか」。 |
| 41-39 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all of
this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou: |
またパロはヨセフに言った、「神がこれを皆あなたに示された。あなたのようにさとく賢い者はない。 |
| 41-40 |
thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. |
あなたはわたしの家を治めてください。わたしの民はみなあなたの言葉に従うでしょう。わたしはただ王の位でだけあなたにまさる」。 |
| 41-41 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. |
パロは更にヨセフに言った、「わたしはあなたをエジプト全国のつかさとする」。 |
| 41-42 |
And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; |
そしてパロは指輪を手からはずして、ヨセフの手にはめ、亜麻布の衣服を着せ、金の鎖をくびにかけ、 |
| 41-43 |
and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried
before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt. |
自分の第二の車に彼を乗せ、「ひざまずけ」とその前に呼ばわらせ、こうして彼をエジプト全国のつかさとした。 |
| 41-44 |
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt. |
ついでパロはヨセフに言った、「わたしはパロである。あなたの許しがなければエジプト全国で、だれも手足を上げることはできない」。 |
| 41-45 |
And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. |
パロはヨセフの名をザフナテ・パネアと呼び、オンの祭司ポテペラの娘アセナテを妻として彼に与えた。ヨセフはエジプトの国を巡った。 |
| 41-46 |
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. |
ヨセフがエジプトの王パロの前に立った時は三十歳であった。ヨセフはパロの前を出て、エジプト全国をあまねく巡った。 |
| 41-47 |
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. |
さて七年の豊作のうちに地は豊かに物を産した。 |
| 41-48 |
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. |
そこでヨセフはエジプトの国にできたその七年間の食糧をことごとく集め、その食糧を町々に納めさせた。すなわち町の周囲にある畑の食糧をその町の中に納めさせた。 |
| 41-49 |
And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number. |
ヨセフは穀物を海の砂のように、非常に多くたくわえ、量りきれなくなったので、ついに量ることをやめた。 |
| 41-50 |
And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bare unto him. |
ききんの年の来る前にヨセフにふたりの子が生れた。これらはオンの祭司ポテペラの娘アセナテが産んだのである。 |
| 41-51 |
And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For, said he, God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house. |
ヨセフは長子の名をマナセと名づけて言った、「神がわたしにすべての苦難と父の家のすべての事を忘れさせられた」。 |
| 41-52 |
And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction. |
また次の子の名をエフライムと名づけて言った、「神がわたしを悩みの地で豊かにせられた」。 |
| 41-53 |
And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end. |
エジプトの国にあった七年の豊作が終り、 |
| 41-54 |
And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. |
ヨセフの言ったように七年のききんが始まった。そのききんはすべての国にあったが、エジプト全国には食物があった。 |
| 41-55 |
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. |
やがてエジプト全国が飢えた時、民はパロに食物を叫び求めた。そこでパロはすべてのエジプトびとに言った、「ヨセフのもとに行き、彼の言うようにせよ」。 |
| 41-56 |
And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt. |
ききんが地の全面にあったので、ヨセフはすべての穀倉を開いて、エジプトびとに売った。ききんはますますエジプトの国に激しくなった。 |
| 41-57 |
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth. |
ききんが全地に激しくなったので、諸国の人々がエジプトのヨセフのもとに穀物を買うためにきた。 |
