ルカの福音書 19
1 エリコに入りて過ぎゆき給ふとき、
Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
2 視よ、名をザアカイといふ人あり、取税人の長にて富める者なり。
There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
3 イエスの如何なる人なるかを見んと思へど、丈 矮うして群衆のために見ること能はず、
He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
4 前に走りゆき、桑の樹にのぼる。イエスその路を過ぎんとし給ふ故なり。
So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
5 イエス此處に至りしとき、仰ぎ見て言ひたまふ『ザアカイ、急ぎおりよ、今日われ汝の家に宿るべし』
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
6 ザアカイ急ぎおり、喜びてイエスを迎ふ。
So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
7 人々みな之を見て呟きて言ふ『かれは罪人の家に入りて客となれり』
The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
8 ザアカイ立ちて主に言ふ『主、視よ、わが所有の半を貧しき者に施さん、若しわれ誣ひ訴へて人より取りたる所あらば、四 倍にして償はん』
Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
9 イエス言ひ給ふ『けふ救はこの家に來れり、此の人もアブラハムの子なればなり。
Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
10 それ人の子の來れるは、失せたる者を尋ねて救はん爲なり』
Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
11 人々これらの事を聽きゐたるとき、譬を加へて言ひ給ふ。これはイエス、エルサレムに近づき給ひ、神の國たちどころに現るべしと彼らが思ふ故なり。
They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
12 乃ち言ひたまふ『或 貴人、王の權を受けて歸らんとて遠き國へ往くとき、
[So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
13 十 人の僕をよび、之に金 十ミナを付して言ふ「わが歸るまで商賣せよ」
[Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
14 然るに其の地の民かれを憎み、後より使を遣して「我らは此の人の我らの王となることを欲せず」と言はしむ。
But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
15 貴人、王の權をうけて歸り來りしとき、銀を付し置きたる僕どもの、如何に商賣せしかを知らんとて彼らを呼ばしむ。
But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
16 初のもの進み出でて言ふ「主よ、なんぢの一ミナは十ミナを贏けたり」
The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
17 王いふ「善いかな、良き僕、なんぢは小事に忠なりしゆゑ、十の町を司どるべし」
He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
18 次の者きたりて言ふ「主よ、なんぢの一ミナは五ミナを贏けたり」
Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
19 王また言ふ「なんぢも五つの町を司どるべし」
He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
20 また一人きたりて言ふ「主、視よ、なんぢの一ミナは此處に在り。我これを袱紗に包みて藏め置きたり。
Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
21 これ汝の嚴しき人なるを懼れたるに因る。なんぢは置かぬものを取り、播かぬものを刈るなり」
I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
22 王いふ「惡しき僕、われ汝の口によりて汝を審かん。我の嚴しき人にて、置かぬものを取り、播かぬものを刈るを知るか。
The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
23 何ぞわが金を銀行に預けざりし、さらば我きたりて元金と利子とを請求せしものを」
So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
24 かくて傍らに立つ者どもに言ふ「かれの一ミナを取りて十ミナを有てる人に付せ」
Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
25 彼 等いふ「主よ、かれは既に十ミナを有てり」
They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
26 「われ汝らに告ぐ、凡て有てる人はなほ與へられ、有たぬ人は有てるものをも取らるべし。
[But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
27 而して我が王たる事を欲せぬ、かの仇どもを此處に連れきたり、我が前にて殺せ」』
Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
28 イエス此 等のことを言ひてのち、先だち進みてエルサレムに上り給ふ。
After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
29 オリブといふ山の麓なるベテパゲ及びベタニヤに近づきし時、イエス二人の弟子を遣さんとして言ひ給ふ、
When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
30 『向の山にゆけ、其處に入らば、一度も人の乘りたる事なき驢馬の子の繋ぎあるを見ん、それを解きて牽ききたれ。
he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
31 誰かもし汝らに「なにゆゑ解くか」と問はば、斯く言ふべし「主の用なり」と』
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 遣されたる者ゆきたれば、果して言ひ給ひし如くなるを見る。
[So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
33 かれら驢馬の子をとく時、その持主ども言ふ『なにゆゑ驢馬の子を解くか』
As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
34 答へて言ふ『主の用なり』
They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
35 かくて驢馬の子をイエスの許に牽ききたり、己が衣をその上にかけて、イエスを乘せたり。
The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
36 その往き給ふとき、人々おのが衣を途に敷く。
Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
37 オリブ山の下りあたりまで近づき來り給へば、群れゐる弟子たち皆 喜びて、その見しところの能力ある御業につき、聲 高らかに神を讃美して言ひ始む、
As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
38 『讃むべきかな、主の名によりて來る王。天には平和、至高き處には榮光あれ』
They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
39 群衆のうちの或パリサイ人ら、イエスに言ふ『師よ、なんぢの弟子たちを禁めよ』
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
40 答へて言ひ給ふ『われ汝らに告ぐ、此のともがら默さば、石 叫ぶべし』
He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
41 既に近づきたるとき、都を見やり、之がために泣きて言ひ給ふ、
When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
42 『ああ汝、なんぢも若しこの日の間に、平和にかかはる事を知りたらんには――されど今なんぢの目に隱れたり。
He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
43 日きたりて敵なんぢの周圍に壘をきづき、汝を取圍みて四方より攻め、
I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
44 汝とその内にある子らとを地に打倒し、一つの石をも石の上に遺さざるべし。なんぢ眷顧の時を知らざりしに因る』
They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
45 かくて宮に入り、商ひする者どもを逐ひ出しはじめ、
[Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
46 之に言ひたまふ『「わが家は祈の家たるべし」と録されたるに、汝らは之を強盜の巣となせり』
and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
47 イエス日々 宮にて教へたまふ。祭司長・學者ら及び民の重立ちたる者ども、之を殺さんと思ひたれど、
Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
48 民みな耳を傾けてイエスに聽きたれば、爲すべき方を知らざりき。
But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
