ヨハネの福音書 18
1 此 等のことを言ひ終へて、イエス弟子たちと偕にケデロンの小川の彼方に出でたまふ。彼処に園あり、イエス弟子たちとともども入り給ふ。
After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
2 ここは弟子たちと屡々あつまり給ふ處なれば、イエスを賣るユダもこの處を知れり。
Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
3 かくてユダは一組の兵隊と祭司長・パリサイ人 等よりの下役どもとを受けて、炬火・燈火・武器を携へて此處にきたる。
So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
4 イエス己に臨まんとする事をことごとく知り、進みいでて彼らに言ひたまふ『誰を尋ぬるか』
Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
5 答ふ『ナザレのイエスを』イエス言ひたまふ『我はそれなり』イエスを賣るユダも彼らと共に立てり。
They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
6 『我はそれなり』と言ひ給ひし時、かれら後退して地に倒れたり。
When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
7 ここに再び『たれを尋ぬるか』と問ひ給へば『ナザレのイエスを』と言ふ。
He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
8 イエス答へ給ふ『われは夫なりと既に告げたり、我を尋ぬるならば此の人々の去るを容せ』
Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
9 これさきに『なんぢの我に賜ひし者の中より、われ一人をも失はず』と言ひ給ひし言の成就せん爲なり。
[This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
10 シモン・ペテロ劍をもちたるが、之を拔き大 祭司の僕を撃ちて、その右の耳を斬り落す、僕の名はマルコスと云ふ。
Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11 イエス、ペテロに言ひたまふ『劍を鞘に收めよ、父の我に賜ひたる酒杯は、われ飮まざらんや』
Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
12 ここにかの兵隊・千卒長・ユダヤ人の下役ども、イエスを捕へて縛り、
Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
13 先づアンナスの許に曳き往く、アンナスはその年の大 祭司なるカヤパの舅なり。
Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
14 カヤパはさきにユダヤ人に、一人、民のために死ぬるは益なる事を勸めし者なり。
Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
15 シモン・ペテロ及び他の一人の弟子、イエスに從ふ。この弟子は大 祭司に知られたる者なれば、イエスと共に大 祭司の庭に入りしが、
Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
16 ペテロは門の外に立てり。ここに大 祭司に知られたる彼の弟子いでて、門を守る女に物 言ひてペテロを連れ入れしに、
But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
17 門を守る婢女、ペテロに言ふ『なんぢも彼の人の弟子の一人なるか』かれ言ふ『然らず』
The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
18 時 寒くして僕・下役ども炭火を熾し、その傍らに立ちて煖まり居りしに、ペテロも共に立ちて煖まりゐたり。
It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
19 ここに大 祭司、イエスにその弟子とその教とにつきて問ひたれば、
[While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
20 イエス答へ給ふ『われ公然に世に語れり、凡てのユダヤ人の相 集ふ會堂と宮とにて常に教へ、密には何をも語りし事なし。
Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
21 何ゆゑ我に問ふか、我が語れることは聽きたる人々に問へ。視よ、彼らは我が言ひしことを知るなり』
[So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
22 かく言ひ給ふとき、傍らに立つ下役の一人、手掌にてイエスを打ちて言ふ『かくも大 祭司に答ふるか』
After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
23 イエス答へ給ふ『わが語りし言もし惡しくば、その惡しき故を證せよ。善くば何とて打つぞ』
Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
24 ここにアンナス、イエスを縛りたるままにて、大 祭司カヤパの許に送れり。
Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 シモン・ペテロ立ちて煖まり居たるに、人々いふ『なんぢも彼が弟子の一人なるか』否みて言ふ『然らず』
As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
26 大 祭司の僕の一人にて、ペテロに耳を斬り落されし者の親族なるが言ふ『われ汝が園にて彼と偕なるを見しならずや』
[Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
27 ペテロまた否む折しも鷄 鳴きぬ。
Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
28 かくて人々イエスをカヤパの許より官邸にひきゆく、時は夜明なり。彼ら過越の食をなさんために、汚穢を受けじとて己らは官邸に入らず。
Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
29 ここにピラト彼らの前に出でゆきて言ふ『この人に對して如何なる訴訟をなすか』
So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
30 答へて言ふ『もし惡をなしたる者ならずば汝に付さじ』
[They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
31 ピラト言ふ『なんぢら彼を引取り、おのが律法に循ひて審け』ユダヤ人いふ『我らに人を殺す權威なし』
Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
32 これイエス、己が如何なる死にて死ぬるかを示して、言ひ給ひし御言の成就せん爲なり。
[The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
33 ここにピラトまた官邸に入り、イエスを呼び出して言ふ『なんぢはユダヤ人の王なるか』
Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 イエス答へ給ふ『これは汝おのれより言ふか、將わが事を人の汝に告げたるか』
Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
35 ピラト答ふ『我はユダヤ人ならんや、汝の國人・祭司長ら汝を我に付したり、汝なにを爲ししぞ』
Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
36 イエス答へ給ふ『わが國はこの世のものならず、若し我が國この世のものならば、我が僕ら我をユダヤ人に付さじと戰ひしならん。然れど我が國は此の世よりのものならず』
Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
37 ここにピラト言ふ『されば汝は王なるか』イエス答へ給ふ『われの王たることは汝の言へるごとし。我は之がために生れ、之がために世に來れり、即ち眞理につきて證せん爲なり。凡て眞理に屬する者は我が聲をきく』
Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
38 ピラト言ふ『眞理とは何ぞ』かく言ひて再びユダヤ人の前に出でて言ふ『我この人に何の罪あるをも見ず。
Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
39 過越のとき我なんぢらに一人の囚人を赦す例あり、されば汝らユダヤ人の王をわが赦さんことを望むか』
But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
40 彼らまた叫びて『この人ならず、バラバを』と言ふ、バラバは強盜なり。
They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
