< Luke 23 >

1 And the whole assemblage of them arose, and carried him before Pilate.
第五款 イエズスピラトの前に出廷し給ふ 斯て群衆一同に立上りて、イエズスをピラトの許に引行き、
2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Christ, the king.
之を訟へて云出しけるは、我等此人の我國民を惑はし、セザルに税を納むる事を禁じ、己を王たるキリストなりと云へるを認めたり、と。
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And he answering said to him, I am.
ピラトイエズスに問ひて、汝はユデア人の王なるか、と云ひしかば、答へて、汝の云へるが如し、と曰へり。
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing criminal in this man.
ピラト司祭長等と群衆とに向ひ、我は此人に罪を認めず、と云ひしかど、
5 But they were the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.
彼等益言張りて、彼はガリレアを始め此地に至る迄、ユデアの全國に教へつつ、人民を煽動す、と云へり。
6 And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.
ピラトガリレアと聞きて、此人はガリレア人なるかと問ひ、
7 And on learning that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time.
其ヘロデが権下の者なるを知るや、彼も當時エルザレムに居りければ、イエズスをヘロデの許に送れり。
8 Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him.
ヘロデはイエズスを見て大いに喜べり、是曾て彼に就きて多く聞く所ありて、久しく之に遇はん事を冀ひ、彼によりて行はるる不思議を見んことを望み居たればなり。
9 And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer.
斯て多くの言を以て問ひしかど、イエズス何をも答へ給はず、
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him.
司祭長、律法學士等、傍に立ちて頻に之を訟へければ、
11 And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate.
ヘロデ其兵士等と共に侮辱を加へ、白き衣服を着せて之を調戯り、終にピラトに送還せり。
12 And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity.
ヘロデとピラトとは曾て相讐敵たりしが、此日よりして朋友となれり。
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
ピラト、司祭長と官吏と人民とを呼集めて
14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him.
云ひけるは、汝等此人を、人民を惑はす者として、我に差出せり。然れども看よ、我之を汝等の前に審問すれども、汝等の訟ふる諸件に就きては、毫も之に罪を見出さず、
15 No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
ヘロデも亦然り、即ち我汝等を彼の許に差廻したりしに、死に當るべき何等の處分もなかりしなり、
16 I will therefore chastise, and release him.
故に我懲らして之を免さんとす、と。
17 Now it was necessary for him to release to them one at the feast.
然て祭日に當りては一人を人民に免さざるを得ざりければ、
18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas;
群衆一同に叫びて、此人を除きて、我等にバラバを免せ、と云へり。
19 who, for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, had been cast into prison.
バラバとは、市中に起りし一揆と人殺との為に、監獄に入れられたる者なり。
20 But Pilate again spoke to them, wishing to release Jesus.
ピラトはイエズスを免さんと欲して、再び彼等に語りしかども、
21 But they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify him!
彼等又々叫びて、之を十字架に釘けよ、十字架に釘けよ、と云ひ居たり。
22 And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found him guilty of nothing deserving death; I will therefore chastise, and release him.
ピラト三度目に彼等に向ひて、此人何の惡事をか為したる、我は毫も死罪を認めざれば、懲して之を免さんとす、と云ひたるに、
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should he crucified; and their voices prevailed.
彼等聲高く、頻に十字架に釘けん事を求め、其聲愈激しければ、
24 And Pilate gave sentence that what they demanded should be done.
ピラト彼等の求に應ぜんと決し、
25 And he released him who for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will.
其求むる儘に、彼人殺と一揆の為に監獄に入れられたる者を免し、イエズスをば、彼等の意に任せたり。
26 And when they had led him away, they laid hold on one Simon a Cyrenaean, coming out of the country, and laid on him the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
第六款 十字架上の犠牲 彼等イエズスを引行く時、田舎より來懸れるシモンと云へるシレネ人を執へ、強ひてイエズスに後に跟きて十字架を擔はせたり。
27 And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were bewailing and lamenting him.
然て夥しき人民、及びイエズスの御身上を泣唧てる婦人等、其後に從ひければ、
28 But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me; but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
イエズス此等を顧みて曰ひけるは、エルザレムの女等よ、我身上を泣くこと勿れ、己を己が子等との身上を泣け。
29 For lo! the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave nourishment.
看よ、日は将に來らんとす、其時人々は云はん、石女なる者、未だ産まざる腹、未だ哺ませざる乳房は福なりと、
30 Then will they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
其時又山に向ひては、我等の上に墜ちよと言ひ、岡に向ひては、我等を覆へと言出さん、
31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?
蓋生木すら斯く為らるれば、枯木は如何にか為らるるべき、と。
32 And two others, who were malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.
然て二人の罪人、殺さるべきにて、イエズスと共に引かれつつありしが、
33 And when they had come to the place which is called the Skull, they there crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
髑髏(カルヴァリオ)と云へる處に至りて、イエズスを十字架に釘け、彼強盗をも、一人は右に、一人は左に、磔にしたり。
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them! for they know not what they do. And they divided his garments, casting lots.
斯てイエズスは、父よ、彼等は為す所を知らざる者なれば、之を赦し給へ、と曰ひけるに、彼等はイエズスの衣服を分ちて鬮取にせり。
35 And the people stood looking on; and the rulers sneered, saying, Others he saved; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, the chosen one.
人民は立ちて眺め居たりしが、長等は彼等と共にイエズスを嘲りて、彼は他人を救へり、果して神より選まれたるキリストならば、己を救ふべし、と云ひ、
36 And the soldiers also came up to him and made sport of him, offering him vinegar,
兵卒等も亦之を嘲りつつ、近づきて醋を差出し、
37 and saying, If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself.
汝若ユデア人の王ならば己を救へ、と云ひ居たり。
38 There was also an inscription over him: “This is the king of the Jews.”
イエズスの上には、ギリシア、ラテン及びヘブレオの文字にて書きたる罪標ありて、「是ユデア人の王なり」とありき。
39 And one of the crucified malefactors railed at him, saying, Art thou not the Christ? save thyself and us.
彼吊られたる強盗の中、一人は冒涜して、汝キリストならば、己と我等とを救へ、と云へるに、
40 But the other answering said, rebuking him, Dost not thou fear God, since thou art in the same condemnation?
一人は答へて之を咎め、汝は同じ刑罰を受けながら、尚神を畏れざるか、
41 And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.
我等は己が所為に當る酬を受くるものなれば當然なれども、此人は何の惡をも為したる事なし、と云ひて、
42 And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.
又イエズスに向ひ、主よ、御國に至り給はん時、我を記憶し給へ、と云ひけれは、
43 And he said to him, Truly do I say to thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.
イエズス曰ひけるは、我誠に汝に告ぐ、今日汝我と共に樂園に在るべし、と。
44 And it was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,
時は殆十二時なりしが、三時に至るまで、地上徧く暗黒と成り、
45 the sun having failed; and the veil of the temple was rent in two.
日暗みて、神殿の幕中より裂けたり。
46 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit! And having said this, he expired.
イエズス聲高く呼はりて、父よ、我霊を御手に托し奉る、と曰ひしが、斯く曰ひつつ息絶え給へり。
47 And the centurion, seeing what was done, gave glory to God, saying, Surely this was a righteous man.
百夫長事の顛末を見て、神に光榮を歸し、實に此人は義人なりき、と云ひしが、
48 And all the multitudes that had come together to that sight, when they had seen the things which were done, returned, beating their breasts.
此惨状に立會ひて、事の次第を見たる群衆も、皆己が胸を打ちつつ歸りたり。
49 And all his acquaintances stood at a distance, and women that came with him from Galilee, beholding these things.
然れどイエズスの知人、及ガリレアより從ひたりし婦人等は遥に立ちて事の様を眺め居たり。
50 And lo! a man named Joseph, of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, being a councilor, and a good and righteous man,
折しも、議員の一人にユデアの町なるアリマラアのヨゼフと名くる人あり、義しき善人にして、
51 who was not consenting to their purpose and deed, and was waiting for the kingdom of God, —
彼等の決議及處分に同意せず、己も神の國を待ち居りしが、
52 this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.
ピラトの許に至りてイエズスの御屍を求め、
53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock; wherein no one had yet lain.
取下して布に包み、石を鑿穿ちて作りたる墓の、未だ誰をも葬りし事なきに納めたり。
54 And it was the day of preparation, and the sabbath was now coming on.
恰も用意日にして安息日の暁なりしが、
55 And the women also, who had come with him from Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
ガリレアよりイエズスに伴ひ來りし婦人等後に從ひて、其墓とイエズスの御屍の置かれたる状態とを見、
56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and on the sabbath they rested, according to the commandment.
歸りて香料及香油を支度せしかと、安息日の間は掟に循ひて息めり。
