ルカの福音書 16
1 イエスまた弟子たちに言ひ給ふ『或 富める人に一人の支配人あり、主人の所有を費しをりと訴へられたれば、
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “There was a rich man whose steward was accused of squandering his possessions.
2 主人かれを呼びて言ふ「わが汝につきて聞く所は、これ何事ぞ、務の報告をいだせ、汝こののち支配人たるを得じ」
So he called the steward in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about yoʋ? Give an account of yoʋr stewardship, for yoʋ can no longer be steward.’
3 支配人 心のうちに言ふ「如何にせん、主人わが職を奪ふ。われ土 掘るには力なく、物 乞ふは恥かし。
The steward said to himself, ‘What should I do, now that my master is taking my stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 我なすべき事こそ知りたれ、斯く爲ば職を罷めらるるとき、人々その家に我を迎ふるならん」とて、
I know what I will do so that, when I am removed from my stewardship, people will receive me into their homes.’
5 主人の負債者を一人 一人 呼びよせて、初の者に言ふ「なんぢ我が主人より負ふところ何 程あるか」
So he summoned each one of his master's debtors. He said to the first, ‘How much do yoʋ owe my master?’
6 答へて言ふ「油、百 樽」支配人いふ「なんぢの證書をとり、早く坐して五 十と書け」
The man said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ The steward said to him, ‘Take yoʋr bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7 又ほかの者に言ふ「負ふところ何 程あるか」答へて言ふ「麥、百 石」支配人いふ「なんぢの證書をとりて八 十と書け」
Then he said to another, ‘And how much do yoʋ owe?’ The man said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ The steward said to him, ‘Take yoʋr bill and write eighty.’
So the master commended the unrighteous steward because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the people of the light. (aiōn g165)
And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth so that when you die, those friends will receive you into eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 小事に忠なる者は大事にも忠なり。小事に不 忠なる者は大事にも不 忠なり。
“He who is faithful with very little is also faithful with much, and he who is dishonest with very little is also dishonest with much.
11 さらば汝 等もし不義の富に忠ならずば、誰か眞の富を汝らに任すべき。
If then you have not been faithful with unrighteous wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12 また汝 等もし人のものに忠ならずば、誰か汝 等のものを汝らに與ふべき。
And if you have not been faithful with the property of another, who will give you property of your own?
13 僕は二人の主に兼ね事ふること能はず、或は之を憎み彼を愛し、或は之に親しみ彼を輕しむべければなり。汝ら神と富とに兼ね事ふること能はず』
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
14 ここに慾 深きパリサイ人ら、この凡ての事を聞きてイエスを嘲笑ふ。
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things and began ridiculing Jesus.
15 イエス彼らに言ひ給ふ『なんぢらは人のまへに己を義とする者なり。されど神は汝らの心を知りたまふ。人のなかに尊ばるる者は、神のまへに憎まるる者なり。
So he said to them, “You present yourselves as righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 律法と預言者とはヨハネまでなり、その時より神の國は宣傳へられ、人みな烈しく攻めて之に入る。
“The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone tries to force their way into it.
17 されど律法の一畫の落つるよりも、天 地の過ぎ往くは易し。
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter to be dropped from the law.
18 凡てその妻を出して、他に娶る者は、姦淫を行ふなり。また夫より出されたる女を娶る者も、姦淫を行ふなり。
“For example, any man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and any man who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 或 富める人あり、紫色の衣と細布とを著て、日々 奢り樂しめり。
“Now there was a certain rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself each day as he lived lavishly.
20 又ラザロといふ貧しき者あり、腫物にて腫れただれ、富める人の門に置かれ、
There was also a poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at the rich man's gate, covered with sores.
21 その食卓より落つる物にて飽かんと思ふ。而して犬ども來りて其の腫物を舐れり。
He longed to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, but instead the dogs would come and lick his sores.
22 遂にこの貧しきもの死に、御使たちに携へられてアブラハムの懷裏に入れり。富める人もまた死にて葬られしが、
Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side, and the rich man also died and was buried.
As he was in torment in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 乃ち呼びて言ふ「父アブラハムよ、我を憐みて、ラザロを遣し、その指の先を水に浸して我が舌を冷させ給へ、我はこの焔のなかに悶ゆるなり」
So he called out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in these flames.’
25 アブラハム言ふ「子よ、憶へ、なんぢは生ける間なんぢの善き物を受け、ラザロは惡しき物を受けたり。今ここにて彼は慰められ、汝は悶ゆるなり。
But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in yoʋr lifetime yoʋ received yoʋr good things, and in the same way Lazarus received bad things, but now he is here being comforted, while yoʋ are in agony.
26 然のみならず、此處より汝らに渡り往かんとすとも得ず、其處より我らに來り得ぬために、我らと汝らとの間に大なる淵 定めおかれたり」
And besides all this, a great chasm has been set in place between you and us, so that those who want to cross over to you from here cannot do so, nor can anyone cross over to us from there.’
27 富める人また言ふ「さらば父よ、願はくは我が父の家にラザロを遣したまへ。
The rich man said, ‘Then I beg yoʋ, father, to send Lazarus to my father's house,
28 我に五 人の兄弟あり、この苦痛のところに來らぬよう、彼らに證せしめ給へ」
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 アブラハム言ふ「彼らにはモーセと預言者とあり、之に聽くべし」
Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; they can listen to them.’
30 富める人いふ「いな、父アブラハムよ、もし死人の中より彼らに往く者あらば、悔改めん」
He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 アブラハム言ふ「もしモーセと預言者とに聽かずば、たとひ死人の中より甦へる者ありとも、其の勸を納れざるべし」』
But Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
