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、
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting 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」
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
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 manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. 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 management, they may receive me into their houses.’
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」
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
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」
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and 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, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (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 in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in 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 therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the 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。
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is 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 the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
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。
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
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。
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted amongst 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 Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his 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 tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.
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。
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a 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, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
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、
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of 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。
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked 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、
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (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」
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
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 you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
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」
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
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。
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him 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—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into 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」
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them 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 one 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」』
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
