マタイの福音書 18
1 そのとき弟子たちイエスに來りて言ふ『しからば天國にて大なるは誰か』
The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
2 イエス幼兒を呼び、彼らの中に置きて言ひ給ふ
And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
3 『まことに汝らに告ぐ、もし汝ら飜へりて幼兒の如くならずば、天國に入るを得じ。
And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
4 されば誰にても此の幼兒のごとく己を卑うする者は、これ天國にて大なる者なり。
Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
5 また我が名のために、かくのごとき一人の幼兒を受くる者は、我を受くるなり。
And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
6 されど我を信ずる此の小き者の一人を躓かする者は、寧ろ大なる碾臼を頸に懸けられ、海の深處に沈められんかた益なり。
But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 この世は躓物あるによりて禍害なるかな。躓物は必ず來らん、されど躓物を來らする人は禍害なるかな。
Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 汝ら愼みて此の小き者の一人をも侮るな。我なんぢらに告ぐ、彼らの御使たちは天にありて、天にいます我が父の御顏を常に見るなり。
See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
11 [なし]
For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
12 汝 等いかに思ふか、百匹の羊を有てる人あらんに、若しその一匹まよはば、九 十 九 匹を山に遺しおき、往きて迷へるものを尋ねぬか。
How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
13 もし之を見出さば、まことに汝らに告ぐ、迷はぬ九 十 九 匹に勝りて此の一匹を喜ばん。
And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
14 かくのごとく此の小き者の一人の亡ぶるは、天にいます汝らの父の御意にあらず。
So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
15 もし汝の兄弟 罪を犯さば、往きてただ彼とのみ相 對して諫めよ。もし聽かば其の兄弟を得たるなり。
Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
16 もし聽かずば、一人・二人を伴ひ往け、これ二 三の證人の口に由りて、凡ての事の慥められん爲なり。
But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
17 もし彼 等にも聽かずば、教會に告げよ。もし教會にも聽かずば、之を異邦人または取税人のごとき者とすべし。
And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
18 まことに汝らに告ぐ、すべて汝らが地にて縛ぐ所は天にても縛ぎ、地にて解く所は天にても解くなり。
Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
19 また誠に汝らに告ぐ、もし汝 等のうち二人、何にても求むる事につき地にて心を一つにせば、天にいます我が父は之を成し給ふべし。
Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
20 二三人わが名によりて集る所には、我もその中に在るなり。
For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
21 ここにペテロ御許に來りて言ふ『主よ、わが兄弟われに對して罪を犯さば幾たび赦すべきか、七度までか』
Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
22 イエス言ひたまふ『否、われ「七度まで」とは言はず「七度を七 十 倍するまで」と言ふなり。
Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
23 この故に、天國はその家來どもと計算をなさんとする王のごとし。
Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
24 計算を始めしとき、一萬タラントの負債ある家來つれ來られしが、
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
25 償ひ方なかりしかば、其の主人、この者とその妻 子と凡ての所有とを賣りて償ふことを命じたるに、
And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
26 その家來ひれ伏し拜して言ふ「寛くし給へ、さらば悉とく償はん」
The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
27 その家來の主人あはれみて之を解き、その負債を免したり。
Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
28 然るに其の家來いでて、己より百デナリを負ひたる一人の同僚にあひ、之をとらへ、喉を締めて言ふ「負債を償へ」
But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 その同僚ひれ伏し、願ひて「寛くし給へ、さらば償はん」と言へど、
Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
30 肯はずして往き、その負債を償ふまで之を獄に入れたり。
Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
31 同僚ども有りし事を見て甚く悲しみ、往きて有りし凡ての事をその主人に告ぐ。
And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
32 ここに主人かれを呼び出して言ふ「惡しき家來よ、なんぢ願ひしによりて、かの負債をことごとく免せり。
Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
33 わが汝を憫みしごとく、汝もまた同僚を憫むべきにあらずや」
Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
34 斯くその主人、怒りて、負債をことごとく償ふまで彼を獄卒に付せり。
So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 もし汝 等おのおの心より兄弟を赦さずば、我が天の父も亦なんぢらに斯のごとく爲し給ふべし』
So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
