マルコの福音書 9
1 彼らに言った，「本当にはっきりとあなた方に告げる。ここに立っている者の中には，神の王国が力をもって来るのを見るまでは決して死を味わわない者たちがいる」 。
He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
2 六日後，イエスはペトロとヤコブとヨハネを伴い，高い山に彼らだけを連れ上った。すると，彼らの目の前で彼の姿が変えられた。
A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
3 その衣は雪のように真っ白に光り輝き，地上のどんな洗濯人にもそこまで白くすることはできないほどになった。
His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
4 エリヤとモーセが彼らに現われて，イエスと語り合っていた。
[Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
5 ペトロがイエスに答えた，「ラビ，わたしたちがここにいるのは良いことです。幕屋を三つ作りましょう。一つはあなたのため，一つはモーセのため，一つはエリヤのためです」。
[After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
6 実のところ，彼は何と言っていいか分からなかったのである。彼らは非常に恐れていたからである。
[He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
7 雲が起こって彼らを影で覆い，その雲から声がした，「これはわたしの愛する子である。この者に聞き従いなさい」。
Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
8 彼らが不意にあたりを見回すと，ただイエスのほかは，もうだれも自分たちのもとには見えなかった。
When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
9 彼らが山を下りて行く時，彼は彼らに，人の子が死んだ者たちの中から生き返った後になるまでは，目にした事柄をだれにも告げないようにと命じた。
While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
10 彼らはこの言葉を心に留め，「死んだ者たちの中から生き返る」とはどういう意味かと論じ合った。
So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
11 彼らは彼に尋ねて言った，「なぜ律法学者たちは，まずエリヤが来なければならないと言うのですか」。
[The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
12 彼は彼らに言った，「確かにまずエリヤが来て，すべてのものを回復する。それなら，人の子について，彼が多くの苦しみを受け，さげすまれると書いてあるのはどうしてか。
[Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
13 だが，あなた方に告げる。エリヤはすでに来たのだ。そして人々は，彼について書いてあるとおりに，したい放題のことを彼に対しても行なったのだ」 。
14 彼が弟子たちのところに来ると，大群衆が彼らの周りにおり，律法学者たちが彼らと論じ合っているのを目にした。
[Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
15 すぐに，群衆は皆，彼を見て大いに驚き，走り寄って来て彼にあいさつしようとした。
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
16 彼は律法学者たちに尋ねた，「彼らに何を尋ねているのか」 。
He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
17 群衆の一人が答えた，「先生，わたしは自分の息子をあなたのもとに連れて来ました。息子は口のきけない霊に取りつかれています。
A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
18 そして，それが彼に取りつくと，どこででも彼を引き倒すので，彼は口から泡を吹き，歯ぎしりして，弱り衰えてしまいます。わたしは，あなたの弟子たちにそれを追い出してくれるよう願いましたが，彼らにはできませんでした」。
Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
19 彼は彼らに言った，「不信仰な世代よ，いつまでわたしはあなた方と一緒にいようか。いつまであなた方のことを我慢しようか。その子をわたしのところに連れて来なさい」 。
Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
20 人々はその子を彼のもとに連れて来た。そして彼を見ると，すぐにその霊はその子をけいれんさせたので，その子は地面に倒れ，泡を吹きながら転げ回った。
So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
21 彼はその子の父親に尋ねた，「この子にこうした事が起こってから，もうどれくらいになるのか」 。 父親は言った，「幼い時からです。
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
22 この霊は息子を滅ぼそうとして，何度も火や水の中に投げ入れました。ですが，もし何かおできになるなら，わたしたちを哀れんでお助けください」。
[The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
23 イエスは彼に言った，「あなたが信じることができるなら，信じる者にはすべての事が起こり得るのだ」 。
Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
24 すぐに，その子の父親は涙ながらに叫んで言った，「信じます。わたしの不信仰をお助けください！」
Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
25 イエスは，群衆が一緒になって走り寄って来るのを見ると，汚れた霊をしかりつけて，彼に言った，「口がきけず，耳の聞こえない霊よ，あなたに命じる。その子から出て来て，二度と入るな！」
Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 その霊は，大声を上げ，ひどくけいれんさせながら，彼から出て来た。その少年は死んだ者のようになったので，大半の人たちは，「彼は死んだ」と言った。
The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
27 しかし，イエスが彼の手を取って起こすと，彼は起き上がった。
However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
28 彼が家に入った時，弟子たちはひそかに彼に尋ねた，「なぜわたしたちはあの霊を追い出せなかったのでしょうか」。
Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
29 彼は彼らに言った，「この種のものは，祈りと断食によらなければ，どうしても出て行かせることはできない」 。
He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
30 彼らはそこから出て，ガリラヤを通り抜けた。彼はそのことをだれにも知られることを望まなかった。
After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
31 というのは，弟子たちを教えて，彼らに言っていたからである，「人の子は人々の手に引き渡され，人々は彼を殺すだろう。そして彼は殺されて三日後に生き返るだろう」 。
[anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
32 しかし彼らはこの言葉を理解せず，また彼に尋ねるのを恐れていた。
But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
33 彼はカペルナウムにやって来た。家の中にいた時，彼らに尋ねた，「あなた方は途中で何を議論していたのか」 。
Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
34 しかし彼らは黙っていた。途中で，だれが一番偉いかについて互いに論争していたからである。
But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
35 彼は座って十二人を呼び，彼らに言った，「第一でありたいと思うなら，その人はみんなの最後となり，みんなの召使いとなりなさい」 。
He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
36 幼子を連れて来て，彼らの真ん中に座らせ，また両腕に抱きかかえながら，彼らに言った，
Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
37 「わたしの名のゆえにこのような幼子の一人を受け入れる者は，わたしを受け入れるのだ。そして，わたしを受け入れる者は，わたしではなく，わたしを遣わした方を受け入れるのだ」 。
“Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
38 ヨハネが彼に言った，「先生，わたしたちは，わたしたちに従っていない人があなたの名において悪霊たちを追い出しているのを見ました。それでわたしたちは，彼がわたしたちに従っていないので，彼をとどめました」。
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
39 しかしイエスは言った，「彼をとどめてはいけない。わたしの名において強力な業を行なおうとする者で，すぐさまわたしを悪く言うことができる者はいないからだ。
Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
40 わたしたちに逆らわない者は，わたしたちの味方なのだ。
Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
41 あなた方がキリストのものであるという理由で，わたしの名のゆえにあなた方に一杯の水を与える者については，本当にはっきりとあなた方に告げるが，彼はその報いを決して失わないだろう。
Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
42 わたしを信じるこれら小さな者たちの一人をつまずかせる者は，首に臼石をかけられて海に投げ込まれる方が，その者にとっては良いだろう。
[Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
43 もしあなたの片手があなたをつまずかせるなら，それを切り取りなさい。両手をつけてゲヘナに，つまり消すことのできない火の中に入るよりは，不具になって命に入るほうが，あなたにとっては良いのだ。 (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
44 『そこでは，彼らのうじは死なず，火は消されない』。
45 もしあなたの片足があなたをつまずかせるなら，それを切り取りなさい。両足をつけてゲヘナ，つまり決して消されることのない火の中に投げ込まれるよりは，足の不自由なまま命に入るほうが，あなたにとっては良いのだ。 (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 『そこでは，彼らのうじは死なず，火は消されない』。
47 もしあなたの片目があなたをつまずかせるなら，それを捨て去りなさい。両目を付けてゲヘナの火に投げ込まれるよりは，片目で神の王国に入るほうが，あなたにとっては良いのだ。 (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
48 『そこでは，彼らのうじは死なず，火は消されない』。
In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
49 というのは，人はみな火で塩づけられ，犠牲はすべて塩で味を付けられることになるからだ。
“[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
50 塩は良いものだ。だが塩が塩気を失うなら，あなた方は何によって塩に味を付けるのか。自分の内に塩を持ち，互いに平和に過ごしなさい」 。
Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
