ルカの福音書 12
1 その時、無數の人あつまりて、群衆ふみ合ふばかりなり。イエスまづ弟子たちに言ひ出で給ふ『なんぢら、パリサイ人のパンだねに心せよ、これ僞善なり。
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his talmidim first of all, "Beware of the hametz of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 蔽はれたるものに露れぬはなく、隱れたるものに知られぬはなし。
But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
3 この故に汝らが暗きにて言ふことは、明るきにて聞え、部屋の内にて耳によりて語りしことは、屋の上にて宣べらるべし。
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 我が友たる汝らに告ぐ。身を殺して後に何をも爲し得ぬ者どもを懼るな。
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehinnom. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 五 羽の雀は二錢にて賣るにあらずや、然るに其の一 羽だに神の前に忘れらるる事なし。
"Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 汝らの頭の髮までもみな數へらる。懼るな、汝らは多くの雀よりも優るるなり。
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
8 われ汝らに告ぐ、凡そ人の前に我を言ひあらはす者を、人の子もまた神の使たちの前にて言ひあらはさん。
"I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
9 されど人の前にて我を否む者は、神の使たちの前にて否まれん。
but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 凡そ言をもて人の子に逆ふ者は赦されん。されど聖 靈を瀆すものは赦されじ。
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Ruach ha-Kodesh will not be forgiven.
11 人なんぢらを會堂、或は司、あるひは權威ある者の前に引きゆかん時、いかに何を答へ、または何を言はんと思ひ煩ふな。
When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
12 聖 靈そのとき言ふべきことを教へ給はん』
for the Ruach ha-Kodesh will teach you in that same hour what you must say."
13 群衆のうちの或 人いふ『師よ、わが兄弟に命じて、嗣業を我に分たしめ給へ』
And someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14 之に言ひたまふ『人よ、誰が我を立てて汝らの裁判人また分配 者とせしぞ』
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15 かくて人々に言ひたまふ『愼みて凡ての慳貪をふせげ、人の生命は所有の豐なるには因らぬなり』
He said to them, "Beware. Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16 また譬を語りて言ひ給ふ『ある富める人、その畑 豐に實りたれば、
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 心の中に議りて言ふ「われ如何にせん、我が作物を藏めおく處なし」
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have room to store my crops?'
18 遂に言ふ「われ斯く爲さん、わが倉を毀ち、更に大なるものを建てて、其處にわが穀物および善き物をことごとく藏めん。
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 かくてわが靈魂に言はん、靈魂よ、多年を過すに足る多くの善き物を貯へたれば、安んぜよ、飮食せよ、樂しめよ」
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'
20 然るに神かれに「愚なる者よ、今宵なんぢの靈魂とらるべし、さらば汝の備へたる物は、誰がものとなるべきぞ」と言ひ給へり。
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?'
21 己のために財を貯へ、神に對して富まぬ者は斯くのごとし』
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
22 また弟子たちに言ひ給ふ『この故にわれ汝らに告ぐ、何を食はんと生命のことを思ひ煩ひ、何を著んと體のことを思ひ煩ふな。
He said to his talmidim, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
23 生命は糧にまさり、體は衣に勝るなり。
Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 鴉を思ひ見よ、播かず、刈らず、納屋も倉もなし。然るに神は之を養ひたまふ、汝ら鳥に優るること幾許ぞや。
Consider the ravens: they do not sow, they do not reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds.
25 汝らの中たれか思ひ煩ひて、身の長 一尺を加へ得んや。
Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
26 されば最 小き事すら能はぬに、何ぞ他のことを思ひ煩ふか。
If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 百合を思ひ見よ、紡がず、織らざるなり。されど我なんぢらに告ぐ、榮華を極めたるソロモンだに、其の服裝この花の一つにも及かざりき。
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They do not toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 今日ありて、明日 爐に投げ入れらるる野の草をも、神は斯く裝ひ給へば、況て汝らをや、ああ信仰うすき者よ、
But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 なんぢら何を食ひ何を飮まんと求むな、また心を動かすな。
Do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
30 是みな世の異邦人の切に求むる所なれど、汝らの父は、此 等の物のなんぢらに必要なるを知り給へばなり。
For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
31 ただ父の御國を求めよ。さらば此 等の物は、なんぢらに加へらるべし。
But seek his Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 懼るな、小き群よ、なんぢらに御國を賜ふことは、汝らの父の御意なり。
Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
33 汝らの所有を賣りて施濟をなせ。己がために舊びぬ財布をつくり、盡きぬ財寶を天に貯へよ。かしこは盜人も近づかず、蟲も壞らぬなり、
Sell that which you have, and do tzedakah. Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
34 汝らの財寶のある所には、汝らの心もあるべし。
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 なんぢら腰に帶し、燈火をともして居れ。
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning.
36 主人、婚筵より歸り來りて戸を叩かば、直ちに開くために待つ人のごとくなれ。
Be like people watching for their lord, when he returns from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
37 主人の來るとき、目を覺しをるを見らるる僕どもは幸福なるかな。われ誠に汝らに告ぐ、主人 帶して其の僕どもを食事の席に就かせ、進みて給仕すべし。
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
38 主人、夜の半ごろ若くは夜の明くる頃に來るとも、かくの如くなるを見らるる僕どもは幸福なり。
And if he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are they.
39 なんぢら之を知れ、家主もし盜人いづれの時 來るかを知らば、その家を穿たすまじ。
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 汝らも備へをれ。人の子は思はぬ時に來ればなり』
Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you do not expect him."
41 ペテロ言ふ『主よ、この譬を言ひ給ふは我らにか、また凡ての人にか』
And Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?"
42 主いひ給ふ『主人が時に及びて僕どもに定の糧を與へさする爲に、その僕どもの上に立つる忠實にして慧き支配人は誰なるか、
The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 主人のきたる時、かく爲し居るを見らるる僕は幸福なるかな。
Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
44 われ實をもて汝らに告ぐ、主人すべての所有を彼に掌どらすべし。
Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
45 若しその僕、心のうちに、主人の來るは遲しと思ひ、僕・婢女をたたき、飮食して醉ひ始めなば、
But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk,
46 その僕の主人、おもはぬ日 知らぬ時に來りて、之を烈しく笞うち、その報を不 忠 者と同じうせん。
then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
47 主人の意を知りながら用意せず、又その意に從はぬ僕は、笞うたるること多からん。
That servant, who knew his lord's will, and did not prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 されど知らずして打たるべき事をなす者は、笞うたるること少からん。多く與へらるる者は、多く求められん。多く人に托くれば、更に多くその人より請ひ求むべし。
but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
49 我は火を地に投ぜんとて來れり。此の火すでに燃えたらんには、我また何をか望まん。
"I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
50 されど我には受くべきバプテスマあり。その成し遂げらるるまでは、思ひ逼ること如何ばかりぞや。
But I have a immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.
51 われ地に平和を與へんために來ると思ふか。われ汝らに告ぐ、然らず、反つて分爭なり。
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 今よりのち一家に五 人あらば、三人は二人に、二人は三人に分れ爭はん。
For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 父は子に、子は父に、母は娘に、娘は母に、姑姆は嫁に、嫁は姑姆に分れ爭はん』
They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
54 イエスまた群衆に言ひ給ふ『なんぢら雲の西より起るを見れば、直ちに言ふ「急雨きたらん」と、果して然り。
He said to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
55 また南 風ふけば、汝 等いふ「強き暑あらん」と、果して然り。
When a south wind blows, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
56 僞善者よ、汝ら天 地の氣色を辨ふることを知りて、今の時を辨ふること能はぬは何ぞや。
Hypocrites. You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not know how to interpret this time?
57 また何 故みづから正しき事を定めぬか。
Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
58 なんぢ訴ふる者とともに司に往くとき、途にて和解せんことを力めよ。恐らくは訴ふる者なんぢを審判 人に引きゆき、審判 人なんぢを下役にわたし、下役なんぢを獄に投げ入れん。
For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 われ汝に告ぐ、一レプタも殘りなく償はずば、其處に出づること能はじ』
I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny."
