ルカの福音書 7
1 イエス凡て此らの言を民に聞かせ終へて後、カペナウムに入り給ふ。
When he had finished his discourse in the audience of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 時に或 百卒長、その重んずる僕やみて死ぬばかりなりしかば、
And a centurion's servant, who was dear to his master, was sick, and in danger of dying.
3 イエスの事を聽きて、ユダヤ人の長老たちを遣し、來りて僕を救ひ給はんことを願ふ。
And the centurion, having heard concerning Jesus, sent to him Jewish elders, to entreat him to come and save his servant.
4 彼らイエスの許にいたり、切に請ひて言ふ『かの人は此の事を爲らるるに相應し。
When they came to Jesus, they earnestly besought him, saying, He is worthy of this favor;
5 わが國人を愛し、我らのために會堂を建てたり』
for he loves our nations; and it was he who built our synagogue.
6 イエス共に往き給ひて、その家はや程 近くなりしとき、百卒長、數人の友を遣して言はしむ『主よ、自らを煩はし給ふな。我は汝をわが屋根の下に入れまつるに足らぬ者なり。
Then Jesus went with them; and when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, to say, Master, trouble not yourself; for I have not deserved that you should come under my roof;
7 されば御前に出づるにも相應しからずと思へり、ただ御言を賜ひて我が僕をいやし給へ。
wherefore neither thought I myself fit to come into your presence; say but the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 我みづから權威の下に置かるる者なるに、我が下にまた兵卒ありて、此に「往け」と言へば往き、彼に「來れ」と言へば來り、わが僕に「これを爲せ」と言へば爲すなり』
For even I, who am under the authority of others, having soldiers under me, say to one, Go, and he goes; to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
9 イエス聞きて彼を怪しみ、振反りて從ふ群衆に言ひ給ふ『われ汝らに告ぐ、イスラエルの中にだに斯かるあつき信仰は見しことなし』
Jesus hearing these things, admired him, and turning, said to the multitude which followed, I assure you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel.
10 遣されたる者ども家に歸りて僕を見れば、既に健康となれり。
And they who had been sent, having returned to the house, found the servant well, who had been sick.
11 その後イエス、ナインといふ町にゆき給ひしに、弟子たち及び大なる群衆も共に往く。
The day following, he went into a city called Nain, accompanied by his disciples, and a great crowd.
12 町の門に近づき給ふとき、視よ、舁き出さるる死人あり。これは獨 息子にて母は寡婦なり、町の多くの人々これに伴ふ。
As he approached the gate of the city, the people were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, who was a widow; and many of the citizens were with her.
13 主、寡婦を見て憫み『泣くな』と言ひて、
When the Lord saw her, he had pity upon her, and said to her, Weep not.
14 近より、柩に手をつけ給へば、舁くもの立ち止る。イエス言ひたまふ『若者よ、我なんぢに言ふ、起きよ』
Then he advanced and touched the bier, (the bearers stopping, ) and said, Young man, arise, I command you.
15 死人、起きかへりて物 言ひ始む。イエス之を母に付したまふ。
Then he who had been dead, sat up, and began to speak, and he delivered him to his mother.
16 人々みな懼をいだき、神を崇めて言ふ『大なる預言者われらの中に興れり』また言ふ『神その民を顧み給へり』
And all present were struck with awe, and glorified God, saying, A great prophet has arisen among us; and God has visited his people.
17 この事ユダヤ全國および最寄の地に徧くひろまりぬ。
And this report, concerning him, spread throughout Judea, and all the neighboring country.
18 偖ヨハネの弟子たち、凡て此 等のことを告げたれば、
Now John's disciples had informed him of all these things,
19 ヨハネ兩 三人の弟子を呼び、主に遣して言はしむ『來るべき者は汝なるか、或は他に待つべきか』
and he called two of them, whom he sent to Jesus, to ask him, Are you He who comes, or must we expect another?
20 彼ら御許に到りて言ふ『バプテスマのヨハネ、我らを遣して言はしむ「來るべき者は汝なるか、或は他に待つべきか」』
Being come to him, they said, John the Immerser has sent us to ask you, Are you He who comes, or must we expect another?
21 この時イエス多くの者の病・疾患を醫し、惡しき靈を逐ひいだし、又おほくの盲人に見ることを得しめ給ひしが、
At that very time Jesus was delivering man from diseases and maladies, and evil spirits, and giving sight to many, who were blind.
22 答へて言ひたまふ『往きて汝らが見 聞せし所をヨハネに告げよ。盲人は見、跛者はあゆみ、癩病人は潔められ、聾者はきき、死人は甦へらせられ、貧しき者は福音を聞かせらる。
And he returned this answer, Go, and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind are made to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear; the leprous are cleansed, the dead are raised, glad tidings are brought to the poor.
23 おほよそ我に躓かぬ者は幸福なり』
And happy is he to whom I shall not prove a stumbling block.
24 ヨハネの使の去りたる後、ヨハネの事を群衆に言ひいで給ふ『なんぢら何を眺めんとて野に出でし、風にそよぐ葦なるか。
When John's messengers were departed, Jesus said to the multitude, concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 さらば何を見んとて出でし、柔かき衣を著たる人なるか。視よ、華美なる衣をきて奢り暮す者は王宮に在り。
But what did you go out to see? A man effeminately dressed? It is in royal palaces that they who wear splendid apparel, and live in luxury, are found.
26 さらば何を見んとて出でし、預言者なるか。然り、我なんぢらに告ぐ、預言者よりも勝る者なり。
What then did you go to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and something superior to a prophet.
27 「視よ、わが使を汝の顏の前につかはす。かれは汝の前になんじの道をそなへん」と録されたるは此の人なり。
For this is he, concerning whom it is written, "Behold, I send my messenger before you, who shall prepare your way."
28 われ汝らに告ぐ、女の産みたる者の中、ヨハネより大なる者はなし。されど神の國にて小き者も、彼よりは大なり。
For I declare to you, among those who are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Immerser; yet, the least in the Reign of God is greater than he.
29 （凡ての民これを聞きて、取税人までも神を正しとせり。ヨハネのバプテスマを受けたるによる。
All the people, even the publicans, who heard John, have, by receiving immersion from him, honored God;
30 されどパリサイ人・教法師らは、其のバプテスマを受けざりしにより、各自にかかはる神の御旨をこばみたり）
whereas, the Pharisees and the lawyers, in not being immersed by him, have rejected the counsel of God with regard to themselves.
31 さればわれ今の代の人を何に比へん。彼らは何に似たるか。
To what shall I compare the men of this generation? Whom are they like?
32 彼らは、童 市場に坐し、たがひに呼びて「われら汝らの爲に笛 吹きたれど、汝ら躍らず。歎きたれど、汝ら泣かざりき」と云ふに似たり。
They are like children in the market place, of whom their companions complain, and say, We have played to you upon the pipe, but you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs to you, but you have not wept.
33 それはバプテスマのヨハネ來りて、パンをも食はず葡萄酒をも飮まねば、「惡鬼に憑かれたる者なり」と汝ら言ひ、
For John the Immerser is come, abstaining from bread and wine, an associate of publicans and sinners; and you say, He has a demon.
34 人の子きたりて飮食すれば「視よ、食を貪り、酒を好む人、また取税人・罪人の友なり」と汝ら言ふなり。
The Son of Man is come, using both; and you say, He is a lover of banquets, and wine, an associate of publicans and sinners.
35 されど智慧は己が凡ての子によりて正しとせらる』
But wisdom is justified by all her children.
36 ここに或パリサイ人ともに食せん事をイエスに請ひたれば、パリサイ人の家に入りて、席につき給ふ。
Now one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him: and he went into the Pharisee's house, and placed himself at table.
37 視よ、この町に罪ある一人の女あり。イエスのパリサイ人の家にて食事の席にゐ給ふを知り、香 油の入りたる石膏の壺を持ちきたり、
And behold, a woman of the city who was a sinner, knowing that he eat at the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of balsam,
38 泣きつつ御足 近く後にたち、涙にて御足をうるほし、頭の髮にて之を拭ひ、また御足に接吻して香 油を抹れり。
and standing behind at his feet weeping, bathed them with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the balsam.
39 イエスを招きたるパリサイ人これを見て、心のうちに言ふ『この人もし預言者ならば、觸る者の誰、如何なる女なるかを知らん、彼は罪人なるに』
The Pharisee, who had invited him, observing this, said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is that touches him, and of what character, for she is a sinner.
40 イエス答へて言ひ給ふ『シモン、我なんぢに言ふことあり』シモンいふ『師よ、言ひたまへ』
Then Jesus said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. He answered, Say it, Rabbi.
41 『或 債主に二人の負債者ありて、一人はデナリ五 百、一人は五 十の負債せしに、
A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, the other fifty.
42 償ひかたなければ、債主この二人を共に免せり。されば二人のうち債主を愛すること孰か多き』
But not having the means to pay, he freely forgave them both. Say, then, which of them will love him most?
43 シモン答へて言ふ『われ思ふに、多く免されたる者ならん』イエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢの判斷は當れり』
Simon answered, I suppose he whom he forgave most? Jesus replied, You have judged right.
44 かくて女の方に振向きてシモンに言ひ給ふ『この女を見るか。我なんぢの家に入りしに、なんぢは我に足の水を與へず、此の女は涙にて我 足を濡し、頭髮にて拭へり。
Then turning to the woman, he said, Simon, Do you see this woman? When I came to your house, you gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 なんぢは我に接吻せず、此の女は我が入りし時より、我が足に接吻して止まず。
You gave me no kiss; but she, since she entered, has not ceased kissing my feet.
46 なんぢは我が頭に油を抹らず、此の女は我が足に香 油を抹れり。
You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with balsam.
47 この故に我なんぢに告ぐ、この女の多くの罪は赦されたり。その愛すること大なればなり。赦さるる事の少き者は、その愛する事もまた少し』
Wherefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; therefore, her love is great. But he to whom little is forgiven, has little love.
48 遂に女に言ひ給ふ『なんぢの罪は赦されたり』
Then he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.
49 同席の者ども心の内に『罪をも赦す此の人は誰なるか』と言ひ出づ。
Those, who were at table with him, said within themselves, Who is this, that even forgives sins?
50 ここにイエス女に言ひ給ふ『なんぢの信仰なんぢを救へり、安らかに往け』
But he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you, go in peace.
