Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
第一項 イエズスエルザレムに歓迎せられ給ふ イエズスの一行エルザレムに近づき、橄欖山の麓なるベトファゲに至りし時、イエズス二人の弟子を遣はさんとして、
2 Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
曰ひけるは、汝等向の邑に往け、然らば直に繋げる牝驢馬の其子と共に居るに遇はん、其を解きて我に牽來れ。
3 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
若人ありて汝等に語はば、主之を要すと云へ、然らば直に許すべし、と。
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
総て此事の成れるは、預言者によりて云はれし事の成就せん為なり、
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
曰く「シオンの女に云へ、看よ汝の王柔和にして、牝驢馬と其子なる小驢馬とに乗りて汝に來る」と。
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
弟子等往きてイエズスの命じ給ひし如くに為し、
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
牝驢馬と其子とを牽來り、己が衣服を其上に敷き、イエズスを是に乗せたるに、
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
群衆夥しく己が衣服を道に敷き、或人々は樹の枝を伐りて道に敷きたり。
9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
先に立ち後に從へる群衆呼はりて、ダヴィドの裔にホザンナ。主の名によりて來るものは祝せられ給へ。最高き處までホザンナと云ひ居れり。
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
斯てイエズスエルザレムに入り給ひしに、是は抑誰なるぞ、と町挙りて動揺きけるが、
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
人民は、是ガリレアのナザレトより出でたる預言者イエズスなり、と云ひ居れり。
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
第二項 エルザレムに於るイエズスの所業 イエズス神殿に入り給ひて、殿内にて売買する人を悉く遂出だし、兩替屋の案と鳩売る人々の腰掛とを倒して、
13 And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
彼等に曰ひけるは、録して「我家は祈の家と稱へらるべし」とあるに、汝等は之を強盗の巣窟と為せり、と。
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
斯て瞽者跛者等、神殿にてイエズスに近づきしかば、是等を醫し給へり。
15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
然るに司祭長律法學士等、イエズスの為し給へる奇蹟と、ダヴィドの裔にホザンナと殿内に呼はる兒等とを見て憤り、
16 And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
彼に向ひて云ひけるは、汝彼等の云ふ所を聞くや、と。イエズス是に曰ひけるは、然り「孩兒と乳兒との口に賛美を全うし給へり」とあるを汝等曾て読まざりしか、と。
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
斯て彼等を離れ、街を出でてベタニアに往き、其處に宿り給へり。
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
明朝街に返る時飢ゑ給ひしが、
19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
路傍に一本の無花果樹を見て其の下に至り給ひしに、葉の外に何物をも見ざりしかば、是に向ひて、汝何時までも果らざれ、と曰ひしに、無花果樹忽ち枯れたり。 (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
弟子等見て感嘆し、如何にして速に枯れたるぞ、と云ひしに、
21 And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、汝等若信仰ありて躊躇せずば、啻に之を無花果樹に為すべき耳ならず、假令此山に向ひて、汝自抜けて海に入れと云ふとも亦然成らん。
22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
総て祈りの中に信じて求むる事は、汝等悉く之を受けん、と。
23 And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
イエズス神殿に至りて教へつつ居給ひけるに、司祭長及民間の長老等、近づきて云ひけるは、汝何の権を以て是等の事を為すぞ、又誰か此権を汝に與へしぞ。
24 Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我も一言汝等に問はん、汝等之を語らば、我も亦何の権を以て之を行ふかを汝等に告げん。
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
ヨハネの洗禮は何處よりなりしぞ、天よりか将人よりか、と。彼等相共に慮りて、
26 If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
若天よりと云はば、何故に彼を信ぜざりしかと云はるべく、若人よりと云はば、人皆ヨハネを預言者とせると以て民衆に憚りありとし、
27 And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
終にイエズスに答へて、我等之を知らず、と云ひしかば、イエズス亦曰ひけるは、我も何の権を以て是等の事を行ふかを汝等に告げず。
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
汝等之を如何に思ふぞ。或人二人の子ありしが、長男に近づきて、子よ、今日我葡萄畑に往きて働け、と云ひけるに、
29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
彼答へて、否と云ひしも、遂に後悔して往きたり。
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
又次男に近づきて同じ様に云ひけるに、彼答へて、父よ我往く、と云ひしも遂に往かざりき。
31 Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
此二人の中孰か父の旨を成したるぞ、と。彼等長男なりと云ひしかば、イエズス曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、税吏と娼妓とは汝等よりも先に神の國に入らん。
32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
其はヨハネ義の道を以て汝等に來りしに、汝等彼を信ぜず、税吏と娼妓とは却て彼を信じたりしを、汝等之を見ても猶後悔せず、終に彼を信ぜざりければなり。
33 Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
又一の喩を聞け、或家父葡萄畑を作りて籬を繞らし、中に酪穴を堀り、物見台を建て、之を小作人等に貸して遠方へ旅立ちしが、
34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
果時近づきしかば、其果を受取らせんとて、僕等を小作人の許に遣はししに、
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
小作人其僕を捕へて、一人を殴ち、一人を殺し、一人に石を投付けたり。
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
更に他の僕等を先よりも多く遣はししに、彼等之をも同じ様に遇へり。
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
終に、我子をば敬ふならんとて、其子を遣はししに、
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
小作人此子を見て語合ひけるは、是相続人なり、來れかし之を殺さん、而して我等其家督を獲ん、と。
39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
斯て其子を捕へ、葡萄畑より逐出して殺せり。
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
然れば葡萄畑の主來らん時、此小作人等を如何に處置すべきか。
41 They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
彼等云ひけるは、惡人を容赦なく亡ぼし、季節に果を納むる他の小作人に其葡萄畑を貸さん。
42 Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等曾て聖書に於て読まざりしか、「家を建つるに棄てられたる石は隅の首石となれり、是主の為し給へる事にて、我等の目には不思議なり」とあり。
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
然れば我汝等に告ぐ、神の國は汝等より奪はれ、其果を結ぶ人民に與へらるべし。
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
凡此石の上に墜つる人は砕けん、又此石誰の上に隕つるも之を微塵にせん、と。
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
司祭長ファリザイ人等イエズスの喩を聞きて、其己等を斥して曰へるを暁り、
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
之を捕へんと謀りしが、群衆彼を預言者とせるを以て之を懼れたり。
