Matthew 21
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
彼らエルサレムに近づき、オリブ山の邊なるベテパゲに到りし時、イエス二人の弟子を遣さんとして言ひ給ふ、
2 saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.
『向の村にゆけ、やがて繋ぎたる驢馬のその子とともに在るを見ん、解きて我に牽ききたれ。
3 And if anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'Because the Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."
誰かもし汝らに何とか言はば「主の用なり」と言へ、さらば直ちに之を遣さん』
4 This took place that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
此の事の起りしは、預言者によりて云はれたる言の成就せん爲なり。曰く、
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, "Look, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
『シオンの娘に告げよ、「視よ、汝の王、なんぢに來り給ふ。柔和にして驢馬に乘り、軛を負ふ驢馬の子に乘りて」』
6 The disciples went, and did just as Jesus directed them,
弟子たち往きて、イエスの命じ給へる如くして、
7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and placed their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
驢馬とその子とを牽ききたり、己が衣をその上におきたれば、イエス之に乘りたまふ。
8 A very large crowd spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
群衆の多くはその衣を途にしき、或 者は樹の枝を伐りて途に敷く。
9 The crowds who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest."
かつ前にゆき後にしたがふ群衆よばはりて言ふ『ダビデの子にホサナ、讃むべきかな、主の御名によりて來る者。いと高き處にてホサナ』
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"
遂にエルサレムに入り給へば、都 擧りて騷 立ちて言ふ『これは誰なるぞ』
11 The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."
群衆いふ『これガリラヤのナザレより出でたる預言者イエスなり』
12 Jesus entered into the temple, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
イエス宮に入り、その内なる凡ての賣買する者を逐ひいだし、兩替する者の臺、鴿を賣る者の腰掛を倒して言ひ給ふ、
13 He said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."
『「わが家は祈の家と稱へらるべし」と録されたるに、汝らは之を強盜の巣となす』
14 The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
宮にて盲人・跛者ども御許に來りたれば、之を醫したまへり。
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,
祭司長・學者らイエスの爲し給へる不思議なる業と、宮にて呼はり『ダビデの子にホサナ』と言ひをる子 等とを見、憤ほりて、
16 and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise?'"
イエスに言ふ『なんぢ彼らの言ふところを聞くか』イエス言ひ給ふ『然り「嬰兒 乳兒の口に讃美を備へ給へり」とあるを未だ讀まぬか』
17 He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
遂に彼らを離れ、都を出でてベタニヤにゆき、そこに宿り給ふ。
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
朝 早く都にかへる時、イエス飢ゑたまふ。
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
路の傍なる一もとの無花果の樹を見て、その下に到り給ひしに、葉のほかに何をも見出さず、之に對ひて『今より後いつまでも果を結ばざれ』と言ひ給へば、無花果の樹たちどころに枯れたり。 (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"
弟子たち之を見、怪しみて言ふ『無花果の樹の斯く立刻に枯れたるは何ぞや』
21 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.
イエス答へて言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、もし汝ら信仰ありて疑はずば、啻に此の無花果の樹にありし如きことを爲し得るのみならず、此の山に「移りて海に入れ」と言ふとも亦 成るべし。
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
かつ祈のとき何にても信じて求めば、ことごとく得べし』
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"
宮に到りて教へ給ふとき、祭司長・民の長老ら御許に來りて言ふ『何の權威をもて此 等の事をなすか、誰がこの權威を授けしか』
24 Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
イエス答へて言ひたまふ『我も一言なんぢらに問はん、もし夫を告げなば、我もまた何の權威をもて此 等のことを爲すかを告げん。
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from people?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
ヨハネのバプテスマは何處よりぞ、天よりか、人よりか』かれら互に論じて言ふ『もし天よりと言はば「何 故かれを信ぜざりし」と言はん。
26 But if we say, 'From people,' we fear the crowd, for all hold John as a prophet."
もし人よりと言はんか、人みなヨハネを預言者と認むれば、我らは群衆を恐る』
27 They answered Jesus, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
遂に答へて『知らず』と言へり。イエスもまた言ひたまふ『我も何の權威をもて此 等のことを爲すか汝らに告げじ。
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
なんぢら如何に思ふか、或 人ふたりの子ありしが、その兄にゆきて言ふ「子よ、今日、葡萄園に往きて働け」
29 He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
答へて「主よ、我ゆかん」と言ひて終に往かず。
30 And he came to the other, and said the same thing. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.
また弟にゆきて同じやうに言ひしに、答へて「往かじ」と言ひたれど、後くいて往きたり。
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.
この二人のうち孰か父の意を爲しし』彼らいふ『後の者なり』イエス言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、取税人と遊女とは汝らに先だちて神の國に入るなり。
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
それヨハネ義の道をもて來りしに、汝らは彼を信ぜず、取税人と遊女とは信じたり。然るに汝らは之を見し後も、なほ悔改めずして信ぜざりき。
33 "Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
また一つの譬を聽け、ある家主、葡萄園をつくりて籬をめぐらし、中に酒槽を掘り、櫓を建て、農夫どもに貸して遠く旅立せり。
34 When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his fruit.
果期ちかづきたれば、その果を受取らんとて僕らを農夫どもの許に遣ししに、
35 The tenants took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
農夫どもその僕らを執へて、一人を打ちたたき、一人をころし、一人を石にて撃てり。
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
復ほかの僕らを前よりも多く遣ししに、之をも同じやうに遇へり。
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
「わが子は敬ふならん」と言ひて、遂にその子を遣ししに、
38 But the tenants, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance.'
農夫ども此の子を見て互に言ふ「これは世嗣なり、いざ殺して、その嗣業を取らん」
39 So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
かくて之をとらへ、葡萄園の外に逐ひ出して殺せり。
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"
さらば葡萄園の主人きたる時、この農夫どもに何を爲さんか』
41 They told him, "He will utterly destroy those evil men, and will lease out the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him the fruit in its season."
かれら言ふ『その惡人どもを飽くまで滅し、果期におよびて果を納むる他の農夫どもに葡萄園を貸し與ふべし』
42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'
イエス言ひたまふ『聖書に、「造家者らの棄てたる石は、これぞ隅の首石となれる、これ主によりて成れるにて、我らの目には奇しきなり」とあるを汝ら未だ讀まぬか。
43 "Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.
この故に汝らに告ぐ、汝らは神の國をとられ、其の果を結ぶ國人は、之を與へらるべし。
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it will fall, it will crush him."
この石の上に倒るる者はくだけ、又この石、人のうへに倒るれば、其の人を微塵とせん』
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
祭司長・パリサイ人ら、イエスの譬をきき、己らを指して語り給へるを悟り、
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they considered him to be a prophet.
イエスを執へんと思へど群衆を恐れたり、群衆かれを預言者とするに因る。
