6:1人が地のおもてにふえ始めて、娘たちが彼らに生れた時、6:1 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
6:2神の子たちは人の娘たちの美しいのを見て、自分の好む者を妻にめとった。6:2 that God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.
6:3そこで主は言われた、「わたしの霊はながく人の中にとどまらない。彼は肉にすぎないのだ。しかし、彼の年は百二十年であろう」。6:3 Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years.”
6:4そのころ、またその後にも、地にネピリムがいた。これは神の子たちが人の娘たちのところにはいって、娘たちに産ませたものである。彼らは昔の勇士であり、有名な人々であった。6:4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
6:5主は人の悪が地にはびこり、すべてその心に思いはかることが、いつも悪い事ばかりであるのを見られた。6:5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6主は地の上に人を造ったのを悔いて、心を痛め、6:6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
6:7「わたしが創造した人を地のおもてからぬぐい去ろう。人も獣も、這うものも、空の鳥までも。わたしは、これらを造ったことを悔いる」と言われた。6:7 Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”
6:8しかし、ノアは主の前に恵みを得た。6:8 But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
6:9ノアの系図は次のとおりである。ノアはその時代の人々の中で正しく、かつ全き人であった。ノアは神とともに歩んだ。6:9 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
6:10ノアはセム、ハム、ヤペテの三人の子を生んだ。6:10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
6:11時に世は神の前に乱れて、暴虐が地に満ちた。6:11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
6:12神が地を見られると、それは乱れていた。すべての人が地の上でその道を乱したからである。6:12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
6:13そこで神はノアに言われた、「わたしは、すべての人を絶やそうと決心した。彼らは地を暴虐で満たしたから、わたしは彼らを地とともに滅ぼそう。6:13 God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
6:14あなたは、いとすぎの木で箱舟を造り、箱舟の中にへやを設け、アスファルトでそのうちそとを塗りなさい。6:14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
6:15その造り方は次のとおりである。すなわち箱舟の長さは三百キュビト、幅は五十キュビト、高さは三十キュビトとし、6:15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
6:16箱舟に屋根を造り、上へ一キュビトにそれを仕上げ、また箱舟の戸口をその横に設けて、一階と二階と三階のある箱舟を造りなさい。6:16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
6:17わたしは地の上に洪水を送って、命の息のある肉なるものを、みな天の下から滅ぼし去る。地にあるものは、みな死に絶えるであろう。6:17 I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.
6:18ただし、わたしはあなたと契約を結ぼう。あなたは子らと、妻と、子らの妻たちと共に箱舟にはいりなさい。6:18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
6:19またすべての生き物、すべての肉なるものの中から、それぞれ二つずつを箱舟に入れて、あなたと共にその命を保たせなさい。それらは雄と雌とでなければならない。6:19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
6:20すなわち、鳥はその種類にしたがい獣はその種類にしたがい、また地のすべての這うものも、その種類にしたがって、それぞれ二つずつ、あなたのところに入れて、命を保たせなさい。6:20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
6:21また、すべての食物となるものをとって、あなたのところにたくわえ、あなたとこれらのものとの食物としなさい」。6:21 Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
6:22ノアはすべて神の命じられたようにした。6:22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
7:1主はノアに言われた、「あなたと家族とはみな箱舟にはいりなさい。あなたがこの時代の人々の中で、わたしの前に正しい人であるとわたしは認めたからである。7:1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
7:2あなたはすべての清い獣の中から雄と雌とを七つずつ取り、清くない獣の中から雄と雌とを二つずつ取り、7:2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
7:3また空の鳥の中から雄と雌とを七つずつ取って、その種類が全地のおもてに生き残るようにしなさい。7:3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
7:4七日の後、わたしは四十日四十夜、地に雨を降らせて、わたしの造ったすべての生き物を、地のおもてからぬぐい去ります」。7:4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground.”
7:5ノアはすべて主が命じられたようにした。7:5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.
7:6さて洪水が地に起った時、ノアは六百歳であった。7:6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
7:7ノアは子らと、妻と、子らの妻たちと共に洪水を避けて箱舟にはいった。7:7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the waters of the flood.
7:8また清い獣と、清くない獣と、鳥と、地に這うすべてのものとの、7:8 Clean animals, animals that are not clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
7:9雄と雌とが、二つずつノアのもとにきて、神がノアに命じられたように箱舟にはいった。7:9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
7:10こうして七日の後、洪水が地に起った。7:10 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.
7:11それはノアの六百歳の二月十七日であって、その日に大いなる淵の源は、ことごとく破れ、天の窓が開けて、7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky’s windows were opened.
7:12雨は四十日四十夜、地に降り注いだ。7:12 The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
7:13その同じ日に、ノアと、ノアの子セム、ハム、ヤペテと、ノアの妻と、その子らの三人の妻とは共に箱舟にはいった。7:13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;
7:14またすべての種類の獣も、すべての種類の家畜も、地のすべての種類の這うものも、すべての種類の鳥も、すべての翼あるものも、皆はいった。7:14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
7:15すなわち命の息のあるすべての肉なるものが、二つずつノアのもとにきて、箱舟にはいった。7:15 They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.
7:16そのはいったものは、すべて肉なるものの雄と雌とであって、神が彼に命じられたようにはいった。そこで主は彼のうしろの戸を閉ざされた。7:16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.
7:17洪水は四十日のあいだ地上にあった。水が増して箱舟を浮べたので、箱舟は地から高く上がった。7:17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
7:18また水がみなぎり、地に増したので、箱舟は水のおもてに漂った。7:18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
7:19水はまた、ますます地にみなぎり、天の下の高い山々は皆おおわれた。7:19 The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
7:20水はその上、さらに十五キュビトみなぎって、山々は全くおおわれた。7:20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
7:21地の上に動くすべて肉なるものは、鳥も家畜も獣も、地に群がるすべての這うものも、すべての人もみな滅びた。7:21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
7:22すなわち鼻に命の息のあるすべてのもの、陸にいたすべてのものは死んだ。7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
7:23地のおもてにいたすべての生き物は、人も家畜も、這うものも、空の鳥もみな地からぬぐい去られて、ただノアと、彼と共に箱舟にいたものだけが残った。7:23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
7:24水は百五十日のあいだ地上にみなぎった。7:24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
8:1神はノアと、箱舟の中にいたすべての生き物と、すべての家畜とを心にとめられた。神が風を地の上に吹かせられたので、水は退いた。8:1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
8:2また淵の源と、天の窓とは閉ざされて、天から雨が降らなくなった。8:2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
8:3それで水はしだいに地の上から引いて、百五十日の後には水が減り、8:3 The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.
8:4箱舟は七月十七日にアララテの山にとどまった。8:4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
8:5水はしだいに減って、十月になり、十月一日に山々の頂が現れた。8:5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
8:6四十日たって、ノアはその造った箱舟の窓を開いて、8:6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
8:7からすを放ったところ、からすは地の上から水がかわききるまで、あちらこちらへ飛びまわった。8:7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8:8ノアはまた地のおもてから、水がひいたかどうかを見ようと、彼の所から、はとを放ったが、8:8 He sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
8:9はとは足の裏をとどめる所が見つからなかったので、箱舟のノアのもとに帰ってきた。水がまだ全地のおもてにあったからである。彼は手を伸べて、これを捕え、箱舟の中の彼のもとに引き入れた。8:9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
8:10それから七日待って再びはとを箱舟から放った。8:10 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
8:11はとは夕方になって彼のもとに帰ってきた。見ると、そのくちばしには、オリブの若葉があった。ノアは地から水がひいたのを知った。8:11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
8:12さらに七日待ってまた、はとを放ったところ、もはや彼のもとには帰ってこなかった。8:12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
8:13六百一歳の一月一日になって、地の上の水はかれた。ノアが箱舟のおおいを取り除いて見ると、土のおもては、かわいていた。8:13 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.
8:14二月二十七日になって、地は全くかわいた。8:14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
8:15この時、神はノアに言われた、8:15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
8:16「あなたは妻と、子らと、子らの妻たちと共に箱舟を出なさい。8:16 “Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
8:17あなたは、共にいる肉なるすべての生き物、すなわち鳥と家畜と、地のすべての這うものとを連れて出て、これらのものが地に群がり、地の上にふえ広がるようにしなさい」。8:17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
8:18ノアは共にいた子らと、妻と、子らの妻たちとを連れて出た。8:18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
8:19またすべての獣、すべての這うもの、すべての鳥、すべて地の上に動くものは皆、種類にしたがって箱舟を出た。8:19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
8:20ノアは主に祭壇を築いて、すべての清い獣と、すべての清い鳥とのうちから取って、燔祭を祭壇の上にささげた。8:20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
8:21主はその香ばしいかおりをかいで、心に言われた、「わたしはもはや二度と人のゆえに地をのろわない。人が心に思い図ることは、幼い時から悪いからである。わたしは、このたびしたように、もう二度と、すべての生きたものを滅ぼさない。8:21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.
8:22地のある限り、種まきの時も、刈入れの時も、暑さ寒さも、夏冬も、昼も夜もやむことはないであろう」。8:22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
9:1神はノアとその子らとを祝福して彼らに言われた、「生めよ、ふえよ、地に満ちよ。9:1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
9:2地のすべての獣、空のすべての鳥、地に這うすべてのもの、海のすべての魚は恐れおののいて、あなたがたの支配に服し、9:2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.
9:3すべて生きて動くものはあなたがたの食物となるであろう。さきに青草をあなたがたに与えたように、わたしはこれらのものを皆あなたがたに与える。9:3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.
9:4しかし肉を、その命である血のままで、食べてはならない。9:4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
9:5あなたがたの命の血を流すものには、わたしは必ず報復するであろう。いかなる獣にも報復する。兄弟である人にも、わたしは人の命のために、報復するであろう。9:5 I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
9:6人の血を流すものは、人に血を流される、神が自分のかたちに人を造られたゆえに。9:6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.
9:7あなたがたは、生めよ、ふえよ、地に群がり、地の上にふえよ」。9:7 Be fruitful and multiply. Increase abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.”
9:8神はノアおよび共にいる子らに言われた、9:8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9「わたしはあなたがた及びあなたがたの後の子孫と契約を立てる。9:9 “As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
9:10またあなたがたと共にいるすべての生き物、あなたがたと共にいる鳥、家畜、地のすべての獣、すなわち、すべて箱舟から出たものは、地のすべての獣にいたるまで、わたしはそれと契約を立てよう。9:10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.
9:11わたしがあなたがたと立てるこの契約により、すべて肉なる者は、もはや洪水によって滅ぼされることはなく、また地を滅ぼす洪水は、再び起らないであろう」。9:11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
9:12さらに神は言われた、「これはわたしと、あなたがた及びあなたがたと共にいるすべての生き物との間に代々かぎりなく、わたしが立てる契約のしるしである。9:12 God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
9:13すなわち、わたしは雲の中に、にじを置く。これがわたしと地との間の契約のしるしとなる。9:13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.
9:14わたしが雲を地の上に起すとき、にじは雲の中に現れる。9:14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
9:15こうして、わたしは、わたしとあなたがた、及びすべて肉なるあらゆる生き物との間に立てた契約を思いおこすゆえ、水はふたたび、すべて肉なる者を滅ぼす洪水とはならない。9:15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16にじが雲の中に現れるとき、わたしはこれを見て、神が地上にあるすべて肉なるあらゆる生き物との間に立てた永遠の契約を思いおこすであろう」。9:16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
9:17そして神はノアに言われた、「これがわたしと地にあるすべて肉なるものとの間に、わたしが立てた契約のしるしである」。9:17 God said to Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
9:18箱舟から出たノアの子らはセム、ハム、ヤペテであった。ハムはカナンの父である。9:18 The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
9:19この三人はノアの子らで、全地の民は彼らから出て、広がったのである。9:19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.
9:20さてノアは農夫となり、ぶどう畑をつくり始めたが、9:20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
9:21彼はぶどう酒を飲んで酔い、天幕の中で裸になっていた。9:21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
9:22カナンの父ハムは父の裸を見て、外にいるふたりの兄弟に告げた。9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
9:23セムとヤペテとは着物を取って、肩にかけ、うしろ向きに歩み寄って、父の裸をおおい、顔をそむけて父の裸を見なかった。9:23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
9:24やがてノアは酔いがさめて、末の子が彼にした事を知ったとき、9:24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
9:25彼は言った、「カナンはのろわれよ。彼はしもべのしもべとなって、その兄弟たちに仕える」。9:25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers.”
9:26また言った、「セムの神、主はほむべきかな、カナンはそのしもべとなれ。9:26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
9:27神はヤペテを大いならしめ、セムの天幕に彼を住まわせられるように。カナンはそのしもべとなれ」。9:27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”
9:28ノアは洪水の後、なお三百五十年生きた。9:28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
9:29ノアの年は合わせて九百五十歳であった。そして彼は死んだ。9:29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
10:::1ノアの子セム、ハム、ヤペテの系図は次のとおりである。洪水の後、彼らに子が生れた。10:1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
10::2ヤペテの子孫はゴメル、マゴグ、マダイ、ヤワン、トバル、メセク、テラスであった。　　10:2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
10::3ゴメルの子孫はアシケナズ、リパテ、トガルマ。10:3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
10::4ヤワンの子孫はエリシャ、タルシシ、キッテム、ドダニムであった。10:4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
10::5これらから海沿いの地の国民が分れて、おのおのその土地におり、その言語にしたがい、その氏族にしたがって、その国々に住んだ。10:5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.
10::6ハムの子孫はクシ、ミツライム、プテ、カナンであった。10:6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
10::7クシの子孫はセバ、ハビラ、サブタ、ラアマ、サブテカであり、ラアマの子孫はシバとデダンであった。10:7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
10::8クシの子はニムロデであって、このニムロデは世の権力者となった最初の人である。10:8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.
10::9彼は主の前に力ある狩猟者であった。これから「主の前に力ある狩猟者ニムロデのごとし」ということわざが起った。10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh.”
10::10彼の国は最初シナルの地にあるバベル、エレク、アカデ、カルネであった。10:10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
10::11彼はその地からアッスリヤに出て、ニネベ、レホボテイリ、カラ、10:11 Out of that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
10::12およびニネベとカラとの間にある大いなる町レセンを建てた。10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).
10::13ミツライムからルデ族、アナミ族、レハビ族、ナフト族、10:13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
10::14パテロス族、カスル族、カフトリ族が出た。カフトリ族からペリシテ族が出た。10:14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.
10::15カナンからその長子シドンが出て、またヘテが出た。10:15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,
10::16その他エブスびと、アモリびと、ギルガシびと、10:16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,
10::17ヒビびと、アルキびと、セニびと、10:17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,
10::18アルワデびと、ゼマリびと、ハマテびとが出た。後になってカナンびとの氏族がひろがった。10:18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.
10::19カナンびとの境はシドンからゲラルを経てガザに至り、ソドム、ゴモラ、アデマ、ゼボイムを経て、レシャに及んだ。10:19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
10::20これらはハムの子孫であって、その氏族とその言語とにしたがって、その土地と、その国々にいた。10:20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
10::21セムにも子が生れた。セムはエベルのすべての子孫の先祖であって、ヤペテの兄であった。10:21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
10::22セムの子孫はエラム、アシュル、アルパクサデ、ルデ、アラムであった。10:22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.
10::23アラムの子孫はウヅ、ホル、ゲテル、マシであった。10:23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.
10::24アルパクサデの子はシラ、シラの子はエベルである。10:24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.
10::25エベルにふたりの子が生れた。そのひとりの名をペレグといった。これは彼の代に地の民が分れたからである。その弟の名をヨクタンといった。10:25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother’s name was Joktan.
10::26ヨクタンにアルモダデ、シャレフ、ハザルマウテ、エラ、10:26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
10::27ハドラム、ウザル、デクラ、10:27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
10::28オバル、アビマエル、シバ、10:28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
10::29オフル、ハビラ、ヨバブが生れた。これらは皆ヨクタンの子であった。10:29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
10::30彼らが住んだ所はメシャから東の山地セパルに及んだ。10:30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
10::31これらはセムの子孫であって、その氏族とその言語とにしたがって、その土地と、その国々にいた。10:31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.
10::32これらはノアの子らの氏族であって、血統にしたがって国々に住んでいたが、洪水の後、これらから地上の諸国民が分れたのである。10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
11::1全地は同じ発音、同じ言葉であった。11:1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
11::2時に人々は東に移り、シナルの地に平野を得て、そこに住んだ。11:2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
11::3彼らは互に言った、「さあ、れんがを造って、よく焼こう」。こうして彼らは石の代りに、れんがを得、しっくいの代りに、アスファルトを得た。11:3 They said one to another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
11::4彼らはまた言った、「さあ、町と塔とを建てて、その頂を天に届かせよう。そしてわれわれは名を上げて、全地のおもてに散るのを免れよう」。11:4 They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
11::5時に主は下って、人の子たちの建てる町と塔とを見て、11:5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
11::6言われた、「民は一つで、みな同じ言葉である。彼らはすでにこの事をしはじめた。彼らがしようとする事は、もはや何事もとどめ得ないであろう。11:6 Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
11::7さあ、われわれは下って行って、そこで彼らの言葉を乱し、互に言葉が通じないようにしよう」。11:7 Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
11::8こうして主が彼らをそこから全地のおもてに散らされたので、彼らは町を建てるのをやめた。11:8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
11::9これによってその町の名はバベルと呼ばれた。主がそこで全地の言葉を乱されたからである。主はそこから彼らを全地のおもてに散らされた。11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
