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 your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not — reward ye have not from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
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。
whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to 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 thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,
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 thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.
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 mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places — standing — to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that 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 mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
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。
'And — praying — ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,
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 ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking 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。
thus therefore pray ye: 'Our Father who [art] in the heavens! 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 reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.
11 我らの日用の糧を今日もあたへ給へ。
'Our appointed bread give us to-day.
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 also 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 mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory — to the ages. 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 may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you — your Father who [is] in the heavens;
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 may not forgive 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。
'And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that 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, fasting, anoint thy 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 mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
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。
'Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, 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 treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, 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 be also your heart.
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 lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,
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 may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness — the darkness, how great!
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。
'None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to 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。
'Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?
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。
look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye 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。
'And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
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 about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor 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 I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as 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。
'And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe — not much more 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 ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?
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 all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;
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 reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to 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。
Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.
