ルカの福音書 23
1 民衆みな起ちて、イエスをピラトの前に曳きゆき、
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 訴へ出でて言ふ『われら此の人が、わが國の民を惑し、貢をカイザルに納むるを禁じ、かつ自ら王なるキリストと稱ふるを認めたり』
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 ピラト、イエスに問ひて言ふ『なんぢはユダヤ人の王なるか』答へて言ひ給ふ『なんぢの言ふが如し』
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 ピラト祭司長らと群衆とに言ふ『われ此の人に愆あるを見ず』
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 彼 等ますます言ひ募り『かれはユダヤ全國に教をなして民を騷がし、ガリラヤより始めて、此處に至る』と言ふ。
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 ピラト之を聞き、そのガリラヤ人なるかを問ひて、
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 ヘロデの權下の者なるを知り、ヘロデ此の頃エルサレムに居たれば、イエスをその許に送れり。
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 ヘロデ、イエスを見て甚く喜ぶ。これは彼に就きて聞く所ありたれば、久しく逢はんことを欲し、何をか徴を行ふを見んと望み居たる故なり。
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 かくて多くの言をもて問ひたれど、イエス何をも答へ給はず。
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 祭司長・學者ら起ちて激甚くイエスを訴ふ。
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 ヘロデその兵卒と共にイエスを侮り、かつ嘲弄し、華美なる衣を著せて、ピラトに返す。
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 ヘロデとピラトと前には仇たりしが、此の日たがひに親しくなれり。
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 ピラト、祭司長らと司らと民とを呼び集めて言ふ、
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 『汝らこの人を民を惑す者として曳き來れり。視よ、われ汝らの前にて訊したれど、其の訴ふる所に就きて、この人に愆あるを見ず。
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 ヘロデも亦 然り、彼を我らに返したり。視よ、彼は死に當るべき業を爲さざりき。
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 されば懲しめて之を赦さん』
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 [なし]
18 民衆ともに叫びて言ふ『この人を除け、我らにバラバを赦せ』
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 此のバラバは、都に起りし一揆と殺人との故によりて、獄に入れられたる者なり。
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 ピラトはイエスを赦さんと欲して、再び彼らに告げたれど、
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 彼ら叫びて『十字架につけよ、十字架につけよ』と言ふ。
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 ピラト三度まで『彼は何の惡事を爲ししか、我その死に當るべき業を見ず、故に懲しめて赦さん』と言ふ。
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 されど人々、大聲をあげ迫りて、十字架につけんことを求めたれば、遂にその聲 勝てり。
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 ここにピラトその求の如くすべしと言渡し、
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 その求むるままに、かの一揆と殺人との故によりて獄に入れられたる者を赦し、イエスを付して彼らの心の隨ならしめたり。
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 人々イエスを曳きゆく時、シモンといふクレネ人の田舍より來るを執へ、十字架を負はせてイエスの後に從はしむ。
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 民の大なる群と、歎き悲しめる女たちの群と之に從ふ。
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 イエス振反りて女たちに言ひ給ふ『エルサレムの娘よ、わが爲に泣くな、ただ己がため、己が子のために泣け。
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 視よ「石婦、兒 産まぬ腹、哺ませぬ乳は幸福なり」と言ふ日きたらん。
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 その時ひとびと「山に向ひて我らの上に倒れよ、岡に向ひて我らを掩へ」と言ひ出でん。
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 もし青 樹に斯く爲さば、枯樹は如何にせられん』
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 また他に二人の惡人をも、死罪に行はんとてイエスと共に曳きゆく。
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 髑髏といふ處に到りて、イエスを十字架につけ、また惡人の一人をその右、一人をその左に十字架につく。
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 かくてイエス言ひたまふ『父よ、彼らを赦し給へ、その爲す所を知らざればなり』彼らイエスの衣を分ちて鬮取にせり、
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 民は立ちて見ゐたり。司たちも嘲りて言ふ『かれは他人を救へり、もし神の選び給ひしキリストならば、己をも救へかし』
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 兵卒どもも嘲弄しつつ、近よりて酸き葡萄酒をさし出して言ふ、
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 『なんぢ若しユダヤ人の王ならば、己を救へ』
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 又イエスの上には『これはユダヤ人の王なり』との罪標あり。
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 十字架に懸けられたる惡人の一人、イエスを譏りて言ふ『なんぢはキリストならずや、己と我らとを救へ』
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 他の者これに答へ禁めて言ふ『なんぢ同じく罪に定められながら、神を畏れぬか。
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 我らは爲しし事の報を受くるなれば當然なり。されど此の人は何の不 善をも爲さざりき』
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 また言ふ『イエスよ、御國に入り給ふとき、我を憶えたまえ』
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 イエス言ひ給ふ『われ誠に汝に告ぐ、今日なんぢは我と偕にパラダイスに在るべし』
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 晝の十二 時ごろ、日、光をうしなひ、地のうへ徧く暗くなりて、三時に及び、
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 聖所の幕、眞中より裂けたり。
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 イエス大聲に呼はりて言ひたまふ『父よ、わが靈を御手にゆだぬ』斯く言ひて息 絶えたまふ。
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 百卒長この有りし事を見て、神を崇めて言ふ『實にこの人は義人なりき』
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 これを見んとて集りたる群衆も、ありし事どもを見て、みな胸を打ちつつ歸れり。
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 凡てイエスの相識の者およびガリラヤより從ひ來れる女たちも、遙に立ちて此 等のことを見たり。
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 議員にして善かつ義なるヨセフといふ人あり。
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 ――この人はかの評議と仕業とに與せざりき――ユダヤの町なるアリマタヤの者にて、神の國を待ちのぞめり。
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 此の人ピラトの許にゆき、イエスの屍體を乞ひ、
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 これを取りおろし、亞麻 布にて包み、巖に鑿りたる未だ人を葬りし事なき墓に納めたり。
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 この日は準備 日なり、かつ安息 日 近づきぬ。
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 ガリラヤよりイエスと共に來りし女たち後に從ひ、その墓と屍體の納められたる樣とを見、
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 歸りて香料と香 油とを備ふ。かくて誡命に遵ひて、安息 日を休みたり。
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
