バイブルプロジェクト 創世記１４分15秒の後

4:15

From here, the story then spirals downward. Chapters 3-11, they trace the widening ripple effect　　　波紋・波及　　

4:21

of the rebellion and of human relationships fracturing at every level.　　破砕

4:26

So there's the story of two brothers, Cain and Abel. Cain is so jealous of his brother that he wants to murder him.

4:32

And God warns him not to give in to the temptation but he does anyway. He murders him in the field.

4:37

So Cain then goes on to build a city where violence and oppression reign. And this is all epitomized in this story　　弾圧・抑圧　　象徴

4:44

of Lamech. He's the first man in the Bible to have more than one wife. He's accumulating them like property.蓄積・ためる

4:50

And then he goes on to sing a short song about how he's more violent and vengeful than Cain ever was.　激しい・凶悪　　報復・復讐

4:57

After this we get an odd story about the "sons of God, " which could refer to evil, angelic beings,　言い及ぶ　　天使

5:04　

or it could refer to ancient kings who claimed that they descended from the gods.　古い　主張　　降りて　

5:10

And like Lamech, they acquired as many wives as they wanted and they produced the Nephilim, these great warriors of old.　取得・買収　戦士

5:17

Whichever view is right, the point is that humans are building kingdoms that fill God's world with violence and even more corruption.　堕落・不正

5:25

In response, we are told that God is broken with grief, humanity is ruining his good world and they're ruining each other.　台無し

5:32

And so out of a passion to protect the goodness of his world, he washes it clean of humanity's evil with a great flood.

5:39

But he protects one blameless human--Noah, and his family. And he commissions him as a new Adam.

5:46

He repeats the divine blessing and commissions him to go out into the world. And so our hopes are really high　神聖

5:52

but then Noah fails too. and also in a garden. He goes and he plants a vineyard and he gets drunk out of his mind.

5:59

And then one of his sons, Ham, does something shameful to his father in the tent. And so, here we have our new "adam," naked and ashamed,

6:08

just like the first. And the downward spiral begins again. It all leads to the foundation of the city of Babylon.

6:15

The people of ancient Mesopotamia, they come together around this new technology they have--the brick.　レンガ

6:21

And they can make cities and towers bigger and faster than anybody's ever done before. And they want to build

6:26

a new kind of tower that will reach up to the gods and they will make a great name for themselves.

6:32

It's an image of human rebellion and arrogance. It's the garden rebellion now writ large.　反乱・反逆　　　傲慢・横柄

6:39

And so God humbles their pride and scatters them. Now this is a diverse group of stories but you can see　異・反乱

6:47

they're all exploring the same basic point: God keeps giving humans the chance to do the right thing　探る

6:54

with his world and humans keep ruining it. These stories are making a claim that we live in a good world that we have turned bad--

7:03

that we've all chosen to define good and evil for ourselves and so we all contribute　定義　　貢献・寄与

7:08

to this world of broken relationships, leading to conflict, and violence, and ultimately death.　葛藤・紛争　　最終的・つまるところ

7:15

But there's hope. God promised that one day a descendant would come--

7:20

the wounded victor who will defeat evil at its source. And so despite humanity's evil, God is determined to bless and rescue his world.　倒す　　その源で

7:29

And so the big question is, of course, "What is God going to do?" And the next story, the hinge, offers the answer.蝶番・要

7:36

But for now, that's what Genesis 1-11 is all about.
