Luke 16
1 Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
イエズス又弟子等に曰ひけるは、或富豪に一人の家令ありしが、主人の財産を浪費せりとて、訟出でられしかば、
2 So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
主人彼を召び、我が汝に就きて聞く所は是何事ぞや、汝最早家令たるを得ざれば、家令たりし時の會計を差出せ、と云ひしに、
3 The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
家令心の中に謂ひけるは、我主人家令の職を我より褫へる上は、我何を為すべきぞ、耕す事は叶はず、乞食するは羞し、
4 I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
家令を罷められたる後、人々の家に承けられん為には、為すべき様こそあれ、とて、
5 And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
主人に負債ある人々を呼集めて、初の一人に云ひけるは、我主人に對する汝の負債は幾許ぞ、と。
6 ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
彼、油百樽なり、と云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取り、早く坐して五十と書け、と。
7 Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
又次の者に云ひけるは、汝の負債は幾許ぞと、彼、麦百石なりと云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取りて八十と書け、と。
8 The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
然るに主人、此不正なる家令を誉めて、其手段を巧なりとせり。蓋此世の子等は互に光の子等よりも巧なればなり。 (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
我も亦汝等に告ぐ、汝等不正の富を以て友人を作り、息絶えし後、汝等に永遠の住處に承入れしむべく為よ。 (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
抑小事に忠なる人は大事にも亦忠なり、小事に不正なる人は大事にも亦不正なり。
11 So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
然れば汝等若し不正の富に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か眞の富を汝等に托せん。
12 And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
又他人の物に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か汝等の物を汝等に與へん。
13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
一人の僕は二人の主に兼事ふること能はず、或は一人を憎みて一人を愛し、或は一人に從ひて一人を疎むべければなり。汝等は神と富とに兼事ふること能はず、[と宣へり]。
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
然るに貪欲なるファリザイ人等、此始終の事を聞きて嘲りければ、
15 So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等は人の前に自ら義とする者なり、然れど神は汝等の心を知り給ふ、蓋人に取りて高き者は、神の御前に憎むべき者なり。
16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
律法と預言者等とはヨハネを限とす、其時より神の國は宣傳へられ、人皆力を盡して之に到らんとす。
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
総て妻を出して他に娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり、又夫より出されたる婦を娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり。
19 Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
曾て一人の富豪あり、緋色の布と亜麻布とを纏ひ、日々奢り暮らしたるに、
20 And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
又ラザルと云へる一人の乞食あり、全身腫縻れて富豪の門前に偃し、
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
其食卓より落つる屑に飽足らん事を欲すれども與ふる人なく、而も犬等來りて其腫物を舐り居たり。
22 One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
然るに乞食死にければ、天使に携へられてアブラハムの懐に至りたるに、富豪も亦死して地獄に葬られしが、 (Hadēs g86)
23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. (Hadēs g86)
苦痛の中に在りて、目を翹げて、遥にアブラハムと其懐なるラザルとを見、
24 So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
叫びて云ひけるは、父アブラハムよ、我を憫みてラザルを遣はし、其指先を水に浸して我舌を冷させ給へ、我は此焔の中に甚く苦しめるを、と。
25 But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
アブラハム之に云ひけるは、子よ、汝が存命の間善き物を受け、ラザルが同じ間に惡き物を受けしを記憶せよ、然ればこそ今彼は慰められて汝は苦しむなれ。
26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
加之、我等と汝等との間には大いなる淵の定置かれたれば、此處より汝等の處へ渡らんと欲するも叶はず、其處より此處に移る事も叶はざるなり、と。
27 ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
富豪又云ひけるは、然らば父よ、希はくはラザルを我父の家に遣はし、
28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
我に兄弟五人あれば、彼等も亦此苦悩の處に來らざる様、之に證明せしめ給へ、と。
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
アブラハム之に云ひけるは、モイゼと預言者等とあれば、彼等は之に聴くべきなり、と。
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
富豪、否父アブラハムよ、然れど若死者の中より至る者あらば、彼等改心すべし、と云ひければ、
31 Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
アブラハム之に向ひて、若モイゼと預言者等とに聴かざる彼等ならば、假令死者の中より復活すとも信ぜざるべし、と云へり、と。
