< 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、
When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was at home.
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。
Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 ここに四人に擔はれたる中風の者を人々つれ來る。
Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
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。
When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
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』
Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
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 blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
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、
Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
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 tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, 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 that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
11 『なんぢに告ぐ、起きよ、床をとりて家に歸れ』
“I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
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』
He arose, and immediately took up the mat and went out in front of them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw 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。
He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude 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 passed by, he saw Levi the son of Halfai sitting at the tax office. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he arose 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。
He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed 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』
The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
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』
When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
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』
Yochanan’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do Yochanan’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”
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。
Yeshua said to them, “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t 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 bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
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 sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole 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』
No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
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、
He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
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』
The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
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。
He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
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 entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?”
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。
He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”
