Matthew 11
1 And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities.
第五款 イエズス及洗者ヨハネ 斯てイエズス十二の弟子に命じ畢り給ひて、彼等の町々に教へ且説教せんとて、其處を去り給ひしが、
2 And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,
ヨハネは監獄に在りてキリストの業を聞きしかば、其弟子の二人を遣はして、
3 Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?
彼に云はしめけるは、來るべき者は汝なるか、或は我等の待てる者尚他に在るか、と。
4 And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.
イエズス彼等に答へて曰ひけるは、往きて汝等の聞き且見し所をヨハネに告げよ、
5 The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
瞽者は見え、跛者は歩み、癩病者は潔くなり、聾者は聞え、死者は蘇り、貧者は福音を聞かせらる、
6 And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.
斯て我に就きて躓かざる人は福なり、と。
7 And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
彼等の去るや、イエズスヨハネの事を群衆に語り出で給ひけるは、汝等何を見んとて荒野に出しぞ、風に動かさるる葦か。
8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses.
然らば何を見んとて出しぞ、柔き物を着たる人か、看よ、柔き物を着たる人々は帝王の家に在り。
9 But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
然らば何を見んとて出しぞ、預言者か、我汝等に告ぐ、然り、預言者よりも優れる者なり。
10 For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
録して「看よ、我使を汝の面前に遣はさん、彼汝に先ちて汝の道を備ふべし」とあるは、彼が事なり。
11 Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.
我誠に汝等に告ぐ、婦より生れたる者の中に、洗者ヨハネより大なる者は未曾て起らず、然れど天國にて最小き人も、彼よりは大なり。
12 And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
洗者ヨハネの日より今に至りて、天國は暴力に襲はれ、暴力の者之を奪ふ、
13 For all the Prophetes and the Lawe prophecied vnto Iohn.
其は諸の預言者と律法との預言したるは、ヨハネに至る迄なればなり。
14 And if ye will receiue it, this is that Elias, which was to come.
汝等若暁らんと欲せば、彼は來るべきエリアなり。
15 He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
聴く耳を持てる人は聴け。
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes,
現代を誰に比へんか、恰も衢に坐せる童が友等に叫びて、
17 And say, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced, we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented.
我等汝等の為に笛吹きたれども汝等踊らず、我等嘆きたれども汝等悲しまざりき、と云ふに似たり。
18 For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a deuill.
蓋ヨハネ來りて飲食せざれば、惡魔に憑かれたりと云はれ、
19 The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Beholde a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend vnto Publicanes and sinners: but wisedome is iustified of her children.
人の子來りて飲食すれば、看よ彼は食を貪り酒を飲む人にて、税吏及罪人の友なり、と云はる。然りながら智恵は其子等に義しとせられたり、と。
20 Then began he to vpbraide the cities, wherein most of his great workes were done, because they repented not.
第六款 不信仰の報と信仰の報 然てイエズス、奇蹟の多く行はれたる町々の改心せざるによりて、之を責め始め給ひけるは、
21 Woe be to thee, Chorazin: Woe be to thee, Bethsaida: for if ye great workes, which were done in you, had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, they had repented long agone in sackecloth and ashes.
禍なる哉汝コロザイン、禍なる哉汝ベッサイダ。蓋汝等の中に行はれし奇蹟、若チロとシドンとの中に行はれしならば、彼等は夙に改心して、荒き毛衣を纏ひ灰を蒙りしならん。
22 But I say to you, It shalbe easier for Tyrus and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you.
然れば我汝等に告ぐ、審判の日に於て、チロとシドンとは汝等よりも忍び易からん。
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art lifted vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: for if the great workes, which haue bin done in thee, had bene done among them of Sodom, they had remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
カファルナウムよ、汝も何ぞ天にまで上げられんや、當に地獄にまでも陥るべし。蓋汝の中に行はれし奇蹟、若ソドマに行はれしならば、彼は必ず今日まで猶遺りしならん。 (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say vnto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of iudgement, then for thee.
然れば我汝等に告ぐ、審判の日に於て、ソドマの地は汝よりも忍び易からん、と。
25 At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes.
其時イエズス復曰ひけるは、天地の主なる父よ、我汝を稱賛す、其は是等の事を學者智者に隠して、小き人々に顕し給ひたればなり。
26 It is so, O Father, because thy good pleasure was such.
然り父よ、斯の如きは御意に適ひし故なり。
27 All things are giuen vnto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Sonne, but ye Father: neither knoweth any man ye Father, but the Sonne, and he to whom ye Sonne will reueile him.
一切の物は我父より我に賜はれり、父の外に子を知る者なく、子及子より肯て示されたらん者の外に、父を知る者なし。
28 Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you.
我に來れ、総て勞苦して重荷を負へる者よ、我は汝等を回復せしめん。
29 Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules.
我は柔和にして心謙遜なるが故に、汝等自我軛を取りて我に學べ、然らば汝等の魂に安息を得べし。
30 For my yoke is easie, and my burden light.
其は我が[負はする]軛は快く、荷は軽ければなり。
