マルコの福音書 7
1 パリサイ人と或 學者らと、エルサレムより來りてイエスの許に集る。
[One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
2 而して、その弟子たちの中に、潔からぬ手、即ち洗はぬ手にて食事する者のあるを見たり。
The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
3 パリサイ人および凡てのユダヤ人は、古への人の言傳を固く執りて、懇ろに手を洗はねば食はず。
4 また市場より歸りては、まず禊がざれば食はず。このほか酒杯・鉢・銅の器を濯ぐなど、多くの傳を承けて固く執りたり。
5 パリサイ人および學者らイエスに問ふ『なにゆゑ汝の弟子たちは、古への人の言傳に遵ひて歩まず、潔からぬ手にて食事するか』
That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
6 イエス言ひ給ふ『イザヤは汝ら僞善者につきて能く預言せり。「この民は口唇にて我を敬ふ、されどその心は我に遠ざかる。
Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
7 ただ徒らに我を拜む、人の訓誡を教とし教へて」と録したり。
It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
8 なんぢらは神の誡命を離れて、人の言傳を固く執る』
You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
9 また言ひたまふ『汝 等はおのれの言傳を守らんとて、能くも神の誡命を棄つ。
Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
10 即ちモーセは「なんぢの父、なんぢの母を敬へ」といひ「父また母を詈る者は、必ず殺さるべし」といへり。
[For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
11 然るに汝らは「人もし父また母にむかひ、我が汝に對して負ふ所のものは、コルバン即ち供物なりと言はば可し」と言ひて、
But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
12 そののち人をして、父また母に事ふること無からしむ。
13 かく汝らの傳へたる言傳によりて、神の言を空しうし、又おほく此の類の事をなしをるなり』
And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
14 更に群衆を呼び寄せて言ひ給ふ『なんぢら皆われに聽きて悟れ。
Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
15 外より人に入りて、人を汚し得るものなし、されど人より出づるものは、これ人を汚すなり』
Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
16 [なし]
17 イエス群衆を離れて家に入り給ひしに、弟子たち其の譬を問ふ。
After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
18 彼らに言ひ給ふ『なんぢらも然か悟なきか、外より人に入る物の、人を汚しえぬを悟らぬか、
He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
19 これ心には入らず、腹に入りて厠におつるなり』かく凡ての食物を潔しとし給へり。
Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
20 また言ひたまふ『人より出づるものは、これ人を汚すなり。
He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
21 それ内より、人の心より、惡しき念いづ、即ち淫行・竊盜・殺人、
Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
22 姦淫・慳貪・邪曲・詭計・好色・嫉妬・誹謗・傲慢・愚痴。
They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
23 すべて此 等の惡しき事は、内より出でて人を汚すなり』
People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
24 イエス起ちて此處を去り、ツロの地方に往き、家に入りて人に知られじとし給ひたれど、隱るること能はざりき。
After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
25 ここに穢れし靈に憑かれたる稚なき娘をもてる女、ただちにイエスの事をきき、來りて御足の許に平伏す。
A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
26 この女はギリシヤ人にて、スロ・フェニキヤの生なり。その娘より惡鬼を逐ひ出し給はんことを請ふ。
This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
27 イエス言ひ給ふ『まづ子供に飽かしむべし、子供のパンをとりて小狗に投げ與ふるは善からず』
But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
28 女こたへて言ふ『然り、主よ、食卓の下の小狗も子供の食屑を食ふなり』
But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
29 イエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢ此の言によりて［安んじ］往け、惡鬼は既に娘より出でたり』
[Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
30 をんな家に歸りて見るに、子は寢臺の上に臥し、惡鬼は既に出でたり。
The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
31 イエスまたツロの地方を去りて、シドンを過ぎ、デカポリスの地方を經て、ガリラヤの海に來り給ふ。
Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
32 人々、耳聾にして物 言ふこと難き者を連れ來りて、之に手をおき給はんことを願ふ。
[There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
33 イエス群衆の中より、彼をひとり連れ出し、その兩耳に指をさし入れ、また唾して其の舌に觸り、
[So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
34 天を仰ぎて嘆じ、その人に對ひて『エパタ』と言ひ給ふ、ひらけよとの意なり。
Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
35 かくてその耳ひらけ、舌の縺ただちに解け、正しく物いへり。
At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
36 イエス誰にも告ぐなと人々を戒めたまふ。されど戒むるほど反つて愈々 言ひ弘めたり。
Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
37 また甚だしく打驚きて言ふ『かれの爲しし事は皆よし、聾者をも聞えしめ、唖者をも物いはしむ』
[People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
