Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
イエスは弟子たちに言われた、「罪の誘惑が来ることは避けられない。しかし、それをきたらせる者は、わざわいである。
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
これらの小さい者のひとりを罪に誘惑するよりは、むしろ、ひきうすを首にかけられて海に投げ入れられた方が、ましである。
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
あなたがたは、自分で注意していなさい。もしあなたの兄弟が罪を犯すなら、彼をいさめなさい。そして悔い改めたら、ゆるしてやりなさい。
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
もしあなたに対して一日に七度罪を犯し、そして七度『悔い改めます』と言ってあなたのところへ帰ってくれば、ゆるしてやるがよい」。
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
使徒たちは主に「わたしたちの信仰を増してください」と言った。
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
そこで主が言われた、「もし、からし種一粒ほどの信仰があるなら、この桑の木に、『抜け出して海に植われ』と言ったとしても、その言葉どおりになるであろう。
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
あなたがたのうちのだれかに、耕作か牧畜かをする僕があるとする。その僕が畑から帰って来たとき、彼に『すぐきて、食卓につきなさい』と言うだろうか。
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
かえって、『夕食の用意をしてくれ。そしてわたしが飲み食いをするあいだ、帯をしめて給仕をしなさい。そのあとで、飲み食いをするがよい』と、言うではないか。
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
僕が命じられたことをしたからといって、主人は彼に感謝するだろうか。
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
同様にあなたがたも、命じられたことを皆してしまったとき、『わたしたちはふつつかな僕です。すべき事をしたに過ぎません』と言いなさい」。
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
イエスはエルサレムへ行かれるとき、サマリヤとガリラヤとの間を通られた。
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
そして、ある村にはいられると、十人のらい病人に出会われたが、彼らは遠くの方で立ちとどまり、
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
声を張りあげて、「イエスさま、わたしたちをあわれんでください」と言った。
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
イエスは彼らをごらんになって、「祭司たちのところに行って、からだを見せなさい」と言われた。そして、行く途中で彼らはきよめられた。
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
そのうちのひとりは、自分がいやされたことを知り、大声で神をほめたたえながら帰ってきて、
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
イエスの足もとにひれ伏して感謝した。これはサマリヤ人であった。
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
イエスは彼にむかって言われた、「きよめられたのは、十人ではなかったか。ほかの九人は、どこにいるのか。
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
神をほめたたえるために帰ってきたものは、この他国人のほかにはいないのか」。
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
それから、その人に言われた、「立って行きなさい。あなたの信仰があなたを救ったのだ」。
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
神の国はいつ来るのかと、パリサイ人が尋ねたので、イエスは答えて言われた、「神の国は、見られるかたちで来るものではない。
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
また『見よ、ここにある』『あそこにある』などとも言えない。神の国は、実にあなたがたのただ中にあるのだ」。
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
それから弟子たちに言われた、「あなたがたは、人の子の日を一日でも見たいと願っても見ることができない時が来るであろう。
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
人々はあなたがたに、『見よ、あそこに』『見よ、ここに』と言うだろう。しかし、そちらへ行くな、彼らのあとを追うな。
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
いなずまが天の端からひかり出て天の端へとひらめき渡るように、人の子もその日には同じようであるだろう。
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
しかし、彼はまず多くの苦しみを受け、またこの時代の人々に捨てられねばならない。
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
そして、ノアの時にあったように、人の子の時にも同様なことが起るであろう。
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
ノアが箱舟にはいる日まで、人々は食い、飲み、めとり、とつぎなどしていたが、そこへ洪水が襲ってきて、彼らをことごとく滅ぼした。
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
ロトの時にも同じようなことが起った。人々は食い、飲み、買い、売り、植え、建てなどしていたが、
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
ロトがソドムから出て行った日に、天から火と硫黄とが降ってきて、彼らをことごとく滅ぼした。
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
人の子が現れる日も、ちょうどそれと同様であろう。
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
その日には、屋上にいる者は、自分の持ち物が家の中にあっても、取りにおりるな。畑にいる者も同じように、あとへもどるな。
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
ロトの妻のことを思い出しなさい。
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
自分の命を救おうとするものは、それを失い、それを失うものは、保つのである。
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
あなたがたに言っておく。その夜、ふたりの男が一つ寝床にいるならば、ひとりは取り去られ、他のひとりは残されるであろう。
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
ふたりの女が一緒にうすをひいているならば、ひとりは取り去られ、他のひとりは残されるであろう。〔
ふたりの男が畑におれば、ひとりは取り去られ、他のひとりは残されるであろう〕」。
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
弟子たちは「主よ、それはどこであるのですか」と尋ねた。するとイエスは言われた、「死体のある所には、またはげたかが集まるものである」。
