マタイの福音書 6
1 汝ら見られんために己が義を人の前にて行はぬやうに心せよ。然らずば、天にいます汝らの父より報を得じ。
TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 さらば施濟をなすとき、僞善者が人に崇められんとて會堂や街にて爲すごとく、己が前にラッパを鳴すな。誠に汝らに告ぐ、彼らは既にその報を得たり。
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 汝は施濟をなすとき、右の手のなすことを左の手に知らすな。
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 是はその施濟の隱れん爲なり。さらば隱れたるに見たまふ汝の父は報い給はん。
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 なんぢら祈るとき、僞善者の如くあらざれ。彼らは人に顯さんとて、會堂や大路の角に立ちて祈ることを好む。誠に汝らに告ぐ、かれらは既にその報を得たり。
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 なんぢは祈るとき、己が部屋にいり、戸を閉ぢて隱れたるに在す汝の父に祈れ。さらば隱れたるに見 給ふなんぢの父は報い給はん。
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 また祈るとき、異邦人の如くいたづらに言を反復すな。彼らは言 多きによりて聽かれんと思ふなり。
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 さらば彼らに效ふな、汝らの父は求めぬ前に、なんぢらの必要なる物を知りたまふ。
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 この故に汝らは斯く祈れ。「天にいます我らの父よ、願はくは御名の崇められん事を。
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 御國の來らんことを。御意の天のごとく地にも行はれん事を。
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 我らの日用の糧を今日もあたへ給へ。
Give us this day our daily bread.
12 我らに負債ある者を我らの免したる如く、我らの負債をも免し給へ。
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 我らを嘗試に遇はせず、惡より救ひ出したまへ」
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 汝 等もし人の過失を免さば、汝らの天の父も汝らを免し給はん。
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 もし人を免さずば、汝らの父も汝らの過失を免し給はじ。
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 なんぢら斷食するとき、僞善者のごとく、悲しき面容をすな。彼らは斷食することを人に顯さんとて、その顏 色を害ふなり。誠に汝らに告ぐ、彼らは既にその報を得たり。
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 なんぢは斷食するとき、頭に油をぬり、顏をあらへ。
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 これ斷食することの人に顯れずして、隱れたるに在す汝の父にあらはれん爲なり。さらば隱れたるに見たまふ汝の父は報い給はん。
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 なんぢら己がために財寶を地に積むな、ここは蟲と錆とが損ひ、盜人うがちて盜むなり。
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 なんぢら己がために財寶を天に積め、かしこは蟲と錆とが損はず、盜人うがちて盜まぬなり。
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 なんぢの財寶のある所には、なんぢの心もあるべし。
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 身の燈火は目なり。この故に汝の目ただしくば、全身あかるからん。
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 されど汝の目あしくば、全身くらからん。もし汝の内の光、闇ならば、その闇いかばかりぞや。
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 人は二人の主に兼ね事ふること能はず、或はこれを憎み彼を愛し、或はこれに親しみ彼を輕しむべければなり。汝ら神と富とに兼ね事ふること能はず。
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 この故に我なんぢらに告ぐ、何を食ひ、何を飮まんと生命のことを思ひ煩ひ、何を著んと體のことを思ひ煩ふな。生命は糧にまさり、體は衣に勝るならずや。
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 空の鳥を見よ、播かず、刈らず、倉に收めず、然るに汝らの天の父は、これを養ひたまふ。汝らは之よりも遙に優るる者ならずや。
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 汝らの中たれか思ひ煩ひて身の長 一尺を加へ得んや。
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 又なにゆゑ衣のことを思ひ煩ふや。野の百合は如何にして育つかを思へ、勞せず、紡がざるなり。
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 されど我なんぢらに告ぐ、榮華を極めたるソロモンだに、その服裝この花の一つにも及かざりき。
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 今日ありて明日 爐に投げ入れらるる野の草をも、神はかく裝ひ給へば、まして汝らをや、ああ信仰うすき者よ。
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 さらば何を食ひ、何を飮み、何を著んとて思ひ煩ふな。
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 是みな異邦人の切に求むる所なり。汝らの天の父は、凡てこれらの物の汝らに必要なるを知り給ふなり。
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 まづ神の國と神の義とを求めよ、さらば凡てこれらの物は汝らに加へらるべし。
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 この故に明日のことを思ひ煩ふな、明日は明日みづから思ひ煩はん。一日の苦勞は一日にて足れり。
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
