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、
When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea 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。
Great multitudes 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』
Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
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、
He answered, “Haven’t you 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, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become 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 more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
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 asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
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 said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
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』
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced 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 said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient 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。
But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is 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 who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who 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 little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and 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, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 かくて手を彼らの上におきて此處を去り給へり。
He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (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』
He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to 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 said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 「父と母とを敬へ」また「己のごとく汝の隣を愛すべし」』
‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
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 said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
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 you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will 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 when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great 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。
Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
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』
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
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』
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』
Looking at them, Jesus said, “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 answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
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。
Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (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 will be last who are first, and first who are last.
