マタイの福音書 21
1 彼らエルサレムに近づき、オリブ山の邊なるベテパゲに到りし時、イエス二人の弟子を遣さんとして言ひ給ふ、
And, when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth two disciples;
2 『向の村にゆけ、やがて繋ぎたる驢馬のその子とともに在るを見ん、解きて我に牽ききたれ。
saying unto them—Be going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her, —loose them, and lead them unto me.
3 誰かもし汝らに何とか言はば「主の用なり」と言へ、さらば直ちに之を遣さん』
And, if anyone, unto you, say aught, ye shall say—Their Lord, hath, need, —and, straightway, he will send them.
4 此の事の起りしは、預言者によりて云はれたる言の成就せん爲なり。曰く、
But, this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying:
5 『シオンの娘に告げよ、「視よ、汝の王、なんぢに來り給ふ。柔和にして驢馬に乘り、軛を負ふ驢馬の子に乘りて」』
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass.
6 弟子たち往きて、イエスの命じ給へる如くして、
And the disciples, went, and did as Jesus directed them;
7 驢馬とその子とを牽ききたり、己が衣をその上におきたれば、イエス之に乘りたまふ。
and led the ass and the colt, and laid upon them their garments, and he took his seat upon them.
8 群衆の多くはその衣を途にしき、或 者は樹の枝を伐りて途に敷く。
And, the chief multitude, spread their own mantles in the way, and, others, were cutting off young branches from the trees, and spreading them in the way;
9 かつ前にゆき後にしたがふ群衆よばはりて言ふ『ダビデの子にホサナ、讃むべきかな、主の御名によりて來る者。いと高き處にてホサナ』
and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying—Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
10 遂にエルサレムに入り給へば、都 擧りて騷 立ちて言ふ『これは誰なるぞ』
And, when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, saying—Who is this?
11 群衆いふ『これガリラヤのナザレより出でたる預言者イエスなり』
And, the multitudes, were saying—This, is the prophet Jesus, —He from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 イエス宮に入り、その内なる凡ての賣買する者を逐ひいだし、兩替する者の臺、鴿を賣る者の腰掛を倒して言ひ給ふ、
And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, —and, the tables of the money-changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves;
13 『「わが家は祈の家と稱へらるべし」と録されたるに、汝らは之を強盜の巣となす』
and saith unto them—It is written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called; but, ye, are making it, A den of robbers!
14 宮にて盲人・跛者ども御許に來りたれば、之を醫したまへり。
And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured them.
15 祭司長・學者らイエスの爲し給へる不思議なる業と、宮にて呼はり『ダビデの子にホサナ』と言ひをる子 等とを見、憤ほりて、
But the Chief-priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;
16 イエスに言ふ『なんぢ彼らの言ふところを聞くか』イエス言ひ給ふ『然り「嬰兒 乳兒の口に讃美を備へ給へり」とあるを未だ讀まぬか』
and said unto him—Hearest thou what these are saying? And, Jesus, saith unto them—Yea: Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou prepared praise?
17 遂に彼らを離れ、都を出でてベタニヤにゆき、そこに宿り給ふ。
And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 朝 早く都にかへる時、イエス飢ゑたまふ。
And, early, returning into the city, he hungered;
19 路の傍なる一もとの無花果の樹を見て、その下に到り給ひしに、葉のほかに何をも見出さず、之に對ひて『今より後いつまでも果を結ばざれ』と言ひ給へば、無花果の樹たちどころに枯れたり。 (aiōn g165)
and, seeing one fig-tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only, —and he saith unto it—No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age-abiding, —and the fig-tree, instantly withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 弟子たち之を見、怪しみて言ふ『無花果の樹の斯く立刻に枯れたるは何ぞや』
And the disciples, seeing it, marvelled, saying—How instantly, did the fig-tree wither away.
21 イエス答へて言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、もし汝ら信仰ありて疑はずば、啻に此の無花果の樹にありし如きことを爲し得るのみならず、此の山に「移りて海に入れ」と言ふとも亦 成るべし。
And Jesus, answering, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig-tree, shall ye do, —but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 かつ祈のとき何にても信じて求めば、ことごとく得べし』
And, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 宮に到りて教へ給ふとき、祭司長・民の長老ら御許に來りて言ふ『何の權威をもて此 等の事をなすか、誰がこの權威を授けしか』
And, when he, entered, the temple, the Chief-priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, this authority?
24 イエス答へて言ひたまふ『我も一言なんぢらに問はん、もし夫を告げなば、我もまた何の權威をもて此 等のことを爲すかを告げん。
And, making answer, Jesus said unto them—I also, will ask, you, one thing, —which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing: —
25 ヨハネのバプテスマは何處よりぞ、天よりか、人よりか』かれら互に論じて言ふ『もし天よりと言はば「何 故かれを信ぜざりし」と言はん。
The immersion by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore then did ye not believe him?
26 もし人よりと言はんか、人みなヨハネを預言者と認むれば、我らは群衆を恐る』
But, if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John.
27 遂に答へて『知らず』と言へり。イエスもまた言ひたまふ『我も何の權威をもて此 等のことを爲すか汝らに告げじ。
And, making answer to Jesus, they said—We know not. He also, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
28 なんぢら如何に思ふか、或 人ふたりの子ありしが、その兄にゆきて言ふ「子よ、今日、葡萄園に往きて働け」
But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, to-day, be working in the vineyard.
29 答へて「主よ、我ゆかん」と言ひて終に往かず。
And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not;
30 また弟にゆきて同じやうに言ひしに、答へて「往かじ」と言ひたれど、後くいて往きたり。
And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner, —and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went.
31 この二人のうち孰か父の意を爲しし』彼らいふ『後の者なり』イエス言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、取税人と遊女とは汝らに先だちて神の國に入るなり。
Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto them—Verily, I say unto you, the tax-collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God;
32 それヨハネ義の道をもて來りしに、汝らは彼を信ぜず、取税人と遊女とは信じたり。然るに汝らは之を見し後も、なほ悔改めずして信ぜざりき。
For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, —but, the tax-collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him.
33 また一つの譬を聽け、ある家主、葡萄園をつくりて籬をめぐらし、中に酒槽を掘り、櫓を建て、農夫どもに貸して遠く旅立せり。
Another parable, hear ye: —A man there was, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and, a wall around it, placed, and digged in it a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, —and left home.
34 果期ちかづきたれば、その果を受取らんとて僕らを農夫どもの許に遣ししに、
And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 農夫どもその僕らを執へて、一人を打ちたたき、一人をころし、一人を石にて撃てり。
And the husbandmen, taking his servants, one, indeed, they beat, and, another, slew, —and, another, stoned.
36 復ほかの僕らを前よりも多く遣ししに、之をも同じやうに遇へり。
Again, sent he forth other servants, more than the first, and they did unto them, likewise.
37 「わが子は敬ふならん」と言ひて、遂にその子を遣ししに、
Afterwards, however, he sent forth unto them his son, saying, —They will pay deference unto my son!
38 農夫ども此の子を見て互に言ふ「これは世嗣なり、いざ殺して、その嗣業を取らん」
But, the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, —This, is, the heir: Come on! Let us slay him, and have his inheritance.
39 かくて之をとらへ、葡萄園の外に逐ひ出して殺せり。
And, taking him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard, —and slew him.
40 さらば葡萄園の主人きたる時、この農夫どもに何を爲さんか』
When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 かれら言ふ『その惡人どもを飽くまで滅し、果期におよびて果を納むる他の農夫どもに葡萄園を貸し與ふべし』
They say unto him—Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons.
42 イエス言ひたまふ『聖書に、「造家者らの棄てたる石は、これぞ隅の首石となれる、これ主によりて成れるにて、我らの目には奇しきなり」とあるを汝ら未だ讀まぬか。
Jesus saith unto them—Have ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes.
43 この故に汝らに告ぐ、汝らは神の國をとられ、其の果を結ぶ國人は、之を與へらるべし。
Wherefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God, will be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof:
44 この石の上に倒るる者はくだけ、又この石、人のうへに倒るれば、其の人を微塵とせん』
[And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him.]
45 祭司長・パリサイ人ら、イエスの譬をきき、己らを指して語り給へるを悟り、
And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking.
46 イエスを執へんと思へど群衆を恐れたり、群衆かれを預言者とするに因る。
And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.
