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 nigh to Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent 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 to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose [them], and bring [them] to 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 any [man] shall say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and immediately 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、
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 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 Sion, Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an 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 commanded 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 brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
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 a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed [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 that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed [is] he that cometh 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 had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, 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 multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of 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 went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold 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 said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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 the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed 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、
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they 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 to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yes: have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected 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 he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there.
18 朝 早く都にかへる時、イエス飢ゑたまふ。
Now in the morning as he was returning into the city, he was hungry.
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 when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (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 when the disciples saw [it], they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered!
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。
Jesus answered and said to them, Verily I say to you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig-tree, but also, if ye shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou 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 whatever 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 had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee 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 Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
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 baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why 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 shall say, From men; we fear the people: for all hold John as a prophet.
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 they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
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 what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work to-day in my vineyard.
29 答へて「主よ、我ゆかん」と言ひて終に往かず。
He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went.
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 he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
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 [his] father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
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 to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might 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。
Hear another parable; There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it around, and digged a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a remote country:
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 time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
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 took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
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 he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
37 「わが子は敬ふならん」と言ひて、遂にその子を遣ししに、
But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence 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 when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on 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 they caught him, and cast [him] out of 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 Lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to 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 to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render 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 to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous 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。
Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.
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 whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
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 when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
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。
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
