マタイの福音書 19
1 イエスこれらの言を語り終へて、ガリラヤを去り、ヨルダンの彼方なるユダヤの地方に來り給ひしに、
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2 大なる群衆したがひたれば、此處にて彼らを醫し給へり。
and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 パリサイ人ら來り、イエスを試みて言ふ『何の故にかかはらず、人その妻を出すは可きか』
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 答へて言ひたまふ『人を造り給ひしもの、元始より之を男と女とに造り、而して、
But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
5 「かかる故に人は父 母を離れ、その妻に合ひて、二人のもの一體となるべし」と言ひ給ひしを未だ讀まぬか。
and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 されば、はや二人にはあらず、一體なり。この故に神の合せ給ひし者は、人これを離すべからず』
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
7 彼らイエスに言ふ『さらば何 故モーセは離縁状を與へて出すことを命じたるか』
They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
8 彼らに言ひ給ふ『モーセは汝の心つれなきによりて妻を出すことを許したり。されど元始より然にはあらぬなり。
He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 われ汝らに告ぐ、おほよそ淫行の故ならで其の妻をいだし他に娶る者は、姦淫を行ふなり』
But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
10 弟子たちイエスに言ふ『人もし妻のことに於てかくのごとくば、娶らざるに如かず』
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 彼らに言ひたまふ『凡ての人この言を受け容るるにはあらず、ただ授けられたる者のみなり。
And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12 それ生れながらの閹人あり、人に爲られたる閹人あり、また天國のために自らなりたる閹人あり、之を受け容れうる者は受け容るべし』
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13 ここに人々イエスの手をおきて祈り給はんことを望みて、幼兒らを連れ來りしに、弟子たち禁めたれば、
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 イエス言ひたまふ『幼兒らを許せ、我に來るを止むな、天國はかくのごとき者の國なり』
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15 かくて手を彼らの上におきて此處を去り給へり。
and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
17 イエス言ひたまふ『善き事につきて何ぞ我に問ふか、善き者は唯ひとりのみ。汝もし生命に入らんと思はば誡命を守れ』
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 彼いふ『孰を』イエス言ひたまふ『「殺すなかれ」「姦淫するなかれ」「盜むなかれ」「僞證を立つる勿れ」
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 「父と母とを敬へ」また「己のごとく汝の隣を愛すべし」』
Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 その若者いふ『我みな之を守れり、なほ何を缺くか』
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21 イエス言ひたまふ『なんぢ若し全からんと思はば、往きて汝の所有を賣りて貧しき者に施せ、さらば財寶を天に得ん。かつ來りて我に從へ』
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 この言をききて、若者 悲しみつつ去りぬ。大なる資産を有てる故なり。
But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 イエス弟子たちに言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、富める者の天國に入るは難し。
And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 復なんぢらに告ぐ、富める者の神の國に入るよりは、駱駝の針の孔を通るかた反つて易し』
and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
25 弟子たち之をきき、甚だしく驚きて言ふ『さらば誰か救はるることを得ん』
And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 イエス彼らに目を注めて言ひ給ふ『これは人に能はねど、神は凡ての事をなし得るなり』
But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 ここにペテロ答へて言ふ『視よ、われら一切をすてて汝に從へり、されば何を得べきか』
Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
28 イエス彼らに言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、世あらたまりて人の子その榮光の座位に坐するとき、我に從へる汝 等もまた十二の座位に坐して、イスラエルの十二の族を審かん。
And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
30 されど多くの先なる者 後に、後なる者 先になるべし。
But many first shall be last, and last first.
