マルコの福音書 12
1 イエス譬をもて彼らに語り出で給ふ『ある人、葡萄園を造り、籬を環らし、酒槽の穴を掘り、櫓をたて、農夫どもに貸して、遠く旅立せり。
Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
2 時いたりて農夫より葡萄園の所得を受取らんとて、僕をその許に遣ししに、
At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
3 彼ら之を執へて打ちたたき、空手にて歸らしめたり。
But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
4 又ほかの僕を遣ししに、その首に傷つけ、かつ辱しめたり。
Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
5 また他の者を遣ししに、之を殺したり。又ほかの多くの僕をも、或は打ち或は殺したり。
Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
6 なほ一人あり、即ち其の愛しむ子なり「わが子は敬ふならん」と言ひて、最後に之を遣ししに、
He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
7 かの農夫ども互に言ふ「これは世嗣なり、いざ之を殺さん、さらばその嗣業は、我らのものとなるべし」
"But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
8 乃ち執へて之を殺し、葡萄園の外に投げ棄てたり。
"So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
9 さらば葡萄園の主、なにを爲さんか、來りて農夫どもを亡し、葡萄園を他の者どもに與ふべし。
What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."
10 汝ら聖書に「造家者らの棄てたる石は、これぞ隅の首石となれる。
"Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
11 これ主によりて成れるにて、我らの目には奇しきなり」とある句をすら讀まぬか』
this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
12 ここに彼 等イエスを執へんと思ひたれど、群衆を恐れたり、この譬の己らを指して言ひ給へるを悟りしに因る。遂にイエスを離れて去り往けり。
And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to them. So they left Him and went away.
13 かくて彼らイエスの言尾をとらへて陷入れん爲に、パリサイ人とヘロデ黨との中より、數人を御許に遣す。
Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
14 その者ども來りて言ふ『師よ、我らは知る、汝は眞にして、誰をも憚りたまふ事なし、人の外貌を見ず、眞をもて神の道を教へ給へばなり。我ら貢をカイザルに納むるは、宜きか、惡しきか、納めんか、納めざらんか』
So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
15 イエス其の詐僞なるを知りて『なんぞ我を試むるか、デナリを持ち來りて我に見せよ』と言ひ給へば、
Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."
16 彼ら持ち來る。イエス言ひ給ふ『これは誰の像、たれの號なるか』『カイザルのなり』と答ふ。
They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
17 イエス言ひ給ふ『カイザルの物はカイザルに、神の物は神に納めよ』彼らイエスに就きて甚だ怪しめり。
"What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
18 また復活なしと云ふサドカイ人ら、イエスに來り問ひて言ふ
Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
19 『師よ、モーセは、人の兄弟もし子なく妻を遺して死なば、その兄弟かれの妻を娶りて、兄弟のため嗣子を擧ぐべしと、我らに書き遺したり。
"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
20 ここに七人の兄弟ありて、兄 妻を娶り、嗣子なくして死に、
There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
21 第二の者その女を娶り、また嗣子なくして死に、第三の者もまた然なし、
The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
22 七人とも嗣子なくして死に、終には其の女も死にたり。
And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
23 復活のとき彼らみな甦へらんに、この女は誰の妻たるべきか、七人これを妻としたればなり』
At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
24 イエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢらの誤れるは、聖書をも神の能力をも知らぬ故ならずや。
"Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 人、死人の中より甦へる時は、娶らず、嫁がず、天に在る御使たちの如くなるなり。
For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
26 死にたる者の甦へる事に就きては、モーセの書の中なる柴の條に、神モーセに「われはアブラハムの神、イサクの神、ヤコブの神なり」と告げ給ひし事あるを、未だ讀まぬか。
But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
27 神は死にたる者の神にあらず、生ける者の神なり。なんぢら大に誤れり』
He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
28 學者の一人、かれらの論じをるを聞き、イエスの善く答へ給へるを知り、進み出でて問ふ『すべての誡命のうち、何か第一なる』
Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
29 イエス答へたまふ『第一は是なり「イスラエルよ聽け、主なる我らの神は唯一の主なり。
"The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 なんぢ心を盡し、精神を盡し、思を盡し、力を盡して、主なる汝の神を愛すべし」
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
31 第二は是なり「おのれの如く汝の隣を愛すべし」此の二つより大なる誡命はなし』
"The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
32 學者いふ『善きかな師よ「神は唯一にして他に神なし」と言ひ給へるは眞なり。
So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
33 「こころを盡し、知慧を盡し、力を盡して神を愛し、また己のごとく隣を愛する」は、もろもろの燔祭および犧牲に勝るなり』
and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
34 イエスその聰く答へしを見て言ひ給ふ『なんぢ神の國に遠からず』此の後たれも敢へてイエスに問ふ者なかりき。
Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
35 イエス宮にて教ふるとき、答へて言ひ給ふ『なにゆゑ學者らはキリストをダビデの子と言ふか。
But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
36 ダビデ聖 靈に感じて自らいへり「主わが主に言ひ給ふ、我なんぢの敵を汝の足の下に置くまでは、我が右に坐せよ」と。
David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
37 ダビデ自ら彼を主と言ふ、されば爭でその子ならんや』大なる群衆は喜びてイエスに聽きたり。
"David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
38 イエスその教のうちに言ひたまふ『學者らに心せよ、彼らは長き衣を著て歩むこと、市場にての敬禮、
Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
39 會堂の上座、饗宴の上席を好み、
and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
40 また寡婦らの家を呑み、外見をつくりて長き祈をなす。その受くる審判は更に嚴しからん』
and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
41 イエス賽錢函に對ひて坐し、群衆の錢を賽錢函に投げ入るるを見 給ふ。富める多くの者は、多く投げ入れしが、
Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
42 一人の貧しき寡婦きたりて、レプタ二つを投げ入れたり、即ち五 厘ほどなり。
But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
43 イエス弟子たちを呼び寄せて言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、この貧しき寡婦は、賽錢函に投げ入るる凡ての人よりも多く投げ入れたり。
So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
44 凡ての者は、その豐なる内よりなげ入れ、この寡婦は其の乏しき中より、凡ての所有、即ち己が生命の料をことごとく投げ入れたればなり』
for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
