Matthew 23
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
其時イエズス群衆と弟子とに語りて、
2 saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
曰ひけるは、律法學士とファリザイ人とはモイゼの講座に坐せり。
3 All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
然れば彼等の汝等に云ふ所は、悉く守りて行へ、然れど彼等の行に倣ひて行ふこと勿れ、彼等は言ひて而も行はざればなり。
4 For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
即彼等は、重く擔ひ難き荷を括りて人の肩に載すれど、己が指先にて之を動かす事をすら否む。
5 But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
其凡ての行は人に見られん為にして、即其経牌を闊くし、其繸を大くす。
6 and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
また宴席にては上席、會堂にては上座、
7 the grteetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
衢にては人の敬禮、又ラビと呼ばるる事を好む。
8 But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
汝等はラビと呼ばるる事勿れ、汝等の師は一個にして、汝等は皆兄弟なればなり。
9 Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
又地上の人を汝等の父と稱ふること勿れ、汝等の父は天に在す一個のみなればなり。
10 Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah.
又指導師と稱へらるること勿れ、汝等の指導師は一個にして、即キリストなればなり。
11 But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
汝等の中最大なる者は汝等の僕となるべし。
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
自驕る人は下げられ、自遜る人は上げらるべし。
13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you devour the houses of widows, and for show make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士、ファリザイ人等よ、其は人の前に天國を閉ぢ じて、己も入らず、入りつつある人々をも入らしめざればなり。
14 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、其は長き祈を唱へて、寡婦等の家を食盡せばなり。汝等は是に由りて最厳しき審判を受けん。
15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、其は一人の信者を作らんとて海陸を歴巡り、既に作れば、之を己に倍せる地獄の子と為せばなり。 (Geenna g1067)
16 "Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
禍なる哉汝等、瞽者なる手引よ、汝等は云ふ、「総て人[神]殿を指して誓ふは事にも非ず、[神]殿の黄金を指して誓はば果さざるべからず」と。
17 You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
愚にして瞽なる者ども哉、孰か大なるぞ、黄金か、将黄金を聖ならしむる[神]殿か。
18 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
[汝等は又云ふ]「総て人祭壇を指して誓ふは事にも非ず、其上なる供物を指して誓はば果さざるべからず」と。
19 You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
瞽者等よ、孰れか大なるぞ、供物か、将供物を聖ならしむる祭壇か。
20 He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
然れば祭壇を指して誓ふ人は、祭壇と総て其上なる物とを指して誓ふなり。
21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
又総て[神]殿を指して誓ふ人は、[神]殿と其中に住み給ふものとを指して誓ふなり。
22 He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
又天を指して誓ふ人は、神の玉座と其上に坐し給ふ者とを指して誓ふなり。
23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、汝等は薄荷茴香馬芹の十分の一を納めて、而も律法に於て尚重大なる、正義と慈悲と忠實とを遺せり、此事等を為してこそ彼の事をも怠らざるべかりしなれ。
24 You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
蝐蠉を濾出だして駱駝を呑む瞽者なる手引等よ。
25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、其は杯と盤との外を淨めて、内は貪と汚とに充ちたればなり。
26 You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
汝瞽者なるファリザイ人よ、先杯と盤との内を淨めよ、然らば外も淨くなるべし。
27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead people's bones, and of all uncleanness.
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、其は白く塗りたる墓に似たればなり。外は人に麗しく見ゆれども、内は死人の骨と諸の汚とに充てり。
28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
斯の如く、汝等も外は義人の如く人に見ゆれども、内は僞善と不義とに充てり。
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
禍なる哉汝等、僞善なる律法學士ファリザイ人等よ、汝等は預言者等の墓を建て、義人等の記念碑を飾りて、
30 and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
曰く、「我等若先祖の時代に在りしならば、預言者等の血[を流す]に與せざりしものを」と。
31 Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
斯て汝等は、預言者等を殺しし人の子孫たる事を自證するなり。
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
然らば汝等も先祖の量を盈たせよ。
蛇等よ、蝮の裔よ、汝等爭でか地獄の宣告を遁れん。 (Geenna g1067)
34 Therefore, look, I send to you prophets, wise people, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
然れば看よ、我汝等に預言者、智者、律法學士等を遣はせども、汝等は其或者を殺し、十字架に釘け、或者を汝等の會堂に鞭ちて、街より街に遂迫めん。
35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
斯て義人アベルの血より、汝等が[神]殿と祭壇との間にて殺ししパラキアの子ザカリアの血に至る迄、総て地上に流されたる義しき血は、汝等の上に歸すべし。
36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
我誠に汝等に告ぐ、此事皆現代の上に歸すべし。
37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.
エルザレムよ、エルザレムよ、預言者等を殺し、且汝に遣はされたる人々に石を擲つ者よ、我牝鶏の其雛を翼の下に集むる如く、汝の子等を集めんとせしこと幾度ぞや、然れど、汝之を否めり。
38 Look, your house is abandoned to you.
看よ、汝等の家は荒廃れて汝等に遺されん。
39 For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
我汝等に告ぐ、汝等「主の名によりて來る者は祝せられ給へ」と云ふ迄は、今より我を見ざるべし、[と語り給へり]。
