< マルコの福音書 13 >
1 イエス宮を出で給ふとき、弟子の一人いふ『師よ、見 給へ、これらの石、これらの建造物、いかに盛ならずや』
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 イエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢ此 等の大なる建造物を見るか、一つの石も崩されずしては石の上に殘らじ』
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 オリブ山にて宮の方に對ひて坐し給へるに、ペテロ、ヤコブ、ヨハネ、アンデレ竊に問ふ
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 『われらに告げ給へ、これらの事は何時あるか、又すべて此 等の事の成し遂げられんとする時は、如何なる兆あるか』
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 イエス語り出で給ふ『なんぢら人に惑されぬやうに心せよ。
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 多くの者わが名を冒し來り「われは夫なり」と言ひて多くの人を惑さん。
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 戰爭と戰爭の噂とを聞くとき懼るな、かかる事はあるべきなり、されど未だ終にはあらず。
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 即ち「民は民に、國は國に逆ひて起たん」また處々に地震あり、饑饉あらん、これらは産の苦難の始なり。
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 汝 等みづから心せよ、人々なんぢらを衆議所に付さん。なんぢら會堂に曳かれて打たれ、且わが故によりて、司たち及び王たちの前に立てられん、これは證をなさん爲なり。
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 かくて福音は先づもろもろの國人に宣傳へらるべし。
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
11 人々なんぢらを曳きて付さんとき、何を言はんと預じめ思ひ煩ふな、唯そのとき授けらるることを言へ、これ言ふ者は汝 等にあらず、聖 靈なり。
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 兄弟は兄弟を、父は子を死にわたし、子らは親たちに逆ひ立ちて死なしめん。
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 又なんぢら我が名の故に凡ての人に憎まれん、されど終まで耐へ忍ぶ者は救はるべし。
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
14 「荒す惡むべき者」の立つべからざる所に立つを見ば(讀むもの悟れ)その時ユダヤにをる者どもは、山に遁れよ。
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 屋の上にをる者は、内に下るな。また家の物を取り出さんとて内に入るな。
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 其の日には孕りたる女と、乳を哺まする女とは禍害なるかな。
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
19 その日は患難の日なればなり。神の萬物を造り給ひし開闢より今に至るまで、かかる患難はなく、また後にもなからん。
20 主その日を少くし給はずば、救はるる者 一人だになからん。されど其の選び給ひし選民の爲に、その日を少くし給へり。
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 其の時なんぢらに「視よ、キリスト此處にあり」「視よ、彼處にあり」と言ふ者ありとも信ずな。
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
22 僞キリスト・僞 預言者ら起りて、徴と不思議とを行ひ、爲し得べくは、選民をも惑さんとするなり。
23 汝らは心せよ、あらかじめ之を皆なんぢらに告げおくなり。
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 其の時、その患難ののち、日は暗く、月は光を發たず。
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 其のとき人々、人の子の大なる能力と榮光とをもて、雲に乘り來るを見ん。
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 その時かれは使者たちを遣して、地の極より天の極まで、四方より其の選民をあつめん。
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 無花果の樹よりの譬を學べ、その枝すでに柔かくなりて葉 芽ぐめば、夏の近きを知る。
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 かくの如く此 等のことの起るを見ば、人の子すでに近づきて門邊にいたるを知れ。
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 まことに汝らに告ぐ、これらの事ことごとく成るまで、今の代は過ぎ逝くことなし。
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 天 地は過ぎゆかん、されど我が言は過ぎ逝くことなし。
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 その日その時を知る者なし。天にある使者たちも知らず、子も知らず、ただ父のみ知り給ふ。
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 心して目を覺しをれ、汝 等その時の何時なるかを知らぬ故なり。
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
34 例へば家を出づる時、その僕どもに權を委ねて、各自の務を定め、更に門守に、目を覺しをれと命じ置きて、遠く旅立したる人のごとし。
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
35 この故に目を覺しをれ、家の主人の歸るは、夕か、夜半か、鷄 鳴くころか、夜明か、いづれの時なるかを知らねばなり。
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 わが汝らに告ぐるは、凡ての人に告ぐるなり。目を覺しをれ』
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
