マルコの福音書 2
1 數日の後、またカペナウムに入り給ひしに、その家に在することを聞きて、
Some days later, when Jesus came back to Capernaum, the news spread that he was in a house there;
2 多くの人あつまり來り、門口すら隙間なき程なり。イエス彼らに御言を語り給ふ。
and so many people collected together, that after a while there was no room for them even round the door; and he began to tell them his message.
3 ここに四人に擔はれたる中風の者を人々つれ來る。
Some people came, bringing to him a paralysed man, who was being carried by four of them.
4 群衆によりて御許にゆくこと能はざれば、在す所の屋根を穿ちあけて、中風の者を床のまま縋り下せり。
They were unable to get him near to Jesus, because of the crowd, so they removed the roof above Jesus, and, when they had made an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralysed man was lying.
5 イエス彼らの信仰を見て、中風の者に言ひたまふ『子よ、汝の罪ゆるされたり』
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Child, your sins are forgiven.’
6 ある學者たち其處に坐しゐたるが、心の中に、
But some of the teachers of the Law who were sitting there were debating in their minds,
7 『この人なんぞ斯く言ふか、これは神を瀆すなり、神ひとりの外は誰か罪を赦すことを得べき』と論ぜしかば、
‘Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins except God?’
8 イエス直ちに彼 等がかく論ずるを心に悟りて言ひ給ふ『なにゆゑ斯かることを心に論ずるか、
Jesus, at once intuitively aware that they were debating with themselves in this way, said to them, ‘Why are you debating in your minds about this?
9 中風の者に「なんぢの罪ゆるされたり」と言ふと「起きよ、床をとりて歩め」と言ふと、孰か易き。
Which is easier? – to say to the paralysed man, “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say “Get up, and take up your mat, and walk”?
10 人の子の地にて罪を赦す權威ある事を、汝らに知らせん爲に』――中風の者に言ひ給ふ――
But so you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earth’ – here he said to the paralysed man –
11 『なんぢに告ぐ、起きよ、床をとりて家に歸れ』
‘To you I say, Get up, take up your mat, and return to your home.’
12 彼おきて直ちに床をとりあげ、人々の眼前いで往けば、皆おどろき、かつ神を崇めて言ふ『われら斯くの如きことは斷えて見ざりき』
The man got up, and immediately took up his mat, and went out before them all; at which they were amazed, and, as they praised God, they said, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’
13 イエスまた海邊に出でゆき給ひしに、群衆みもとに集ひ來りたれば、之を教へ給へり。
Jesus went out again to the sea; and all the people came to him, and he taught them.
14 かくて過ぎ往くとき、アルパヨの子レビの收税所に坐しをるを見て『われに從へ』と言ひ給へば、立ちて從へり。
As he went along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’ Levi got up and followed him.
15 而して其の家にて食事の席につき居給ふとき、多くの取税人・罪人ら、イエス及び弟子たちと共に席に列る、これらの者おほく居て、イエスに從へるなり。
Later on he was in his house having dinner, and a number of tax collectors and outcasts took their places at the table with Jesus and his disciples; for many of them were following him.
16 パリサイ人の學者ら、イエスの罪人・取税人とともに食し給ふを見て、その弟子たちに言ふ『なにゆゑ取税人・罪人とともに食するか』
When the teachers of the Law belonging to the party of the Pharisees saw that he was eating in the company of such people, they said to his disciples, ‘Why does he eat with the tax collectors and outcasts?’
17 イエス聞きて言ひ給ふ『健かなる者は醫者を要せず、ただ病ある者これを要す。我は正しき者を招かんとにあらで、罪人を招かんとて來れり』
Hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.’
18 ヨハネの弟子とパリサイ人とは、斷食しゐたり。人々イエスに來りて言ふ『なにゆゑヨハネの弟子とパリサイ人の弟子とは斷食して、汝の弟子は斷食せぬか』
Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and people came and asked Jesus, ‘Why is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, while yours do not?’
19 イエス言ひ給ふ『新郎の友だち、新郎と偕にをるうちは斷食し得べきか、新郎と偕にをる間は、斷食するを得ず。
Jesus answered, ‘Can the groom’s friends fast, while the groom is with them? As long as they have the groom with them, they cannot fast.
20 されど新郎をとらるる日きたらん、その日には斷食せん。
But the days will come, when the groom will be taken away from them, and they will fast then – when that day comes.’
21 誰も新しき布の裂を舊き衣に縫ひつくることは爲じ。もし然せば、その補ひたる新しきものは、舊き物をやぶり、破綻さらに甚だしからん。
‘No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if they do, the patch tears away from it – the new from the old – and a worse tear is made.
22 誰も新しき葡萄酒を、ふるき革嚢に入るることは爲じ。もし然せば、葡萄酒は嚢をはりさきて、葡萄酒も嚢も廢らん。新しき葡萄酒は、新しき革嚢に入るるなり』
And no one ever puts new wine into old wine-skins; if they do, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are lost. But new wine is put into fresh skins.’
23 イエス安息 日に麥 畠をとほり給ひしに、弟子たち歩みつつ穗を摘み始めたれば、
One Sabbath, as Jesus was walking through the cornfields, his disciples began to pick the ears of wheat as they went along.
24 パリサイ人、イエスに言ふ『視よ、彼らは何ゆゑ安息 日に爲まじき事をするか』
‘Look!’ the Pharisees said to him, ‘why are they doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?’
25 答へ給ふ『ダビデその伴へる人々と共に乏しくして飢ゑしとき爲しし事を未だ讀まぬか。
‘Have you never read,’ answered Jesus, ‘what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and his companions –
26 即ち大 祭司アビアタルの時、ダビデ神の家に入りて、祭司のほかは食ふまじき供のパンを取りて食ひ、おのれと偕なる者にも與へたり』
how he went into the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which only the priests are allowed to eat, and gave some to his comrades as well?’
27 また言ひたまふ『安息 日は人のために設けられて、人は安息 日のために設けられず。
Then Jesus added, ‘The Sabbath was made for people, and not people for the Sabbath;
28 されば人の子は安息 日にも主たるなり』
so the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.’
