ルカの福音書 23
1 群衆はみな立ちあがって、イエスをピラトのところへ連れて行った。
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 そして訴え出て言った、「わたしたちは、この人が国民を惑わし、貢をカイザルに納めることを禁じ、また自分こそ王なるキリストだと、となえているところを目撃しました」。
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 ピラトはイエスに尋ねた、「あなたがユダヤ人の王であるか」。イエスは「そのとおりである」とお答えになった。
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 そこでピラトは祭司長たちと群衆とにむかって言った、「わたしはこの人になんの罪もみとめない」。
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 ところが彼らは、ますます言いつのってやまなかった、「彼は、ガリラヤからはじめてこの所まで、ユダヤ全国にわたって教え、民衆を煽動しているのです」。
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 ピラトはこれを聞いて、この人はガリラヤ人かと尋ね、
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 そしてヘロデの支配下のものであることを確かめたので、ちょうどこのころ、ヘロデがエルサレムにいたのをさいわい、そちらへイエスを送りとどけた。
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 ヘロデはイエスを見て非常に喜んだ。それは、かねてイエスのことを聞いていたので、会って見たいと長いあいだ思っていたし、またイエスが何か奇跡を行うのを見たいと望んでいたからである。
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 それで、いろいろと質問を試みたが、イエスは何もお答えにならなかった。
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 祭司長たちと律法学者たちとは立って、激しい語調でイエスを訴えた。
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 またヘロデはその兵卒どもと一緒になって、イエスを侮辱したり嘲弄したりしたあげく、はなやかな着物を着せてピラトへ送りかえした。
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 ヘロデとピラトとは以前は互に敵視していたが、この日に親しい仲になった。
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 ピラトは、祭司長たちと役人たちと民衆とを、呼び集めて言った、
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 「おまえたちは、この人を民衆を惑わすものとしてわたしのところに連れてきたので、おまえたちの面前でしらべたが、訴え出ているような罪は、この人に少しもみとめられなかった。
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 ヘロデもまたみとめなかった。現に彼はイエスをわれわれに送りかえしてきた。この人はなんら死に当るようなことはしていないのである。
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 だから、彼をむち打ってから、ゆるしてやることにしよう」。〔
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 祭ごとにピラトがひとりの囚人をゆるしてやることになっていた。〕
18 ところが、彼らはいっせいに叫んで言った、「その人を殺せ。バラバをゆるしてくれ」。
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 このバラバは、都で起った暴動と殺人とのかどで、獄に投ぜられていた者である。
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 ピラトはイエスをゆるしてやりたいと思って、もう一度かれらに呼びかけた。
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 しかし彼らは、わめきたてて「十字架につけよ、彼を十字架につけよ」と言いつづけた。
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 ピラトは三度目に彼らにむかって言った、「では、この人は、いったい、どんな悪事をしたのか。彼には死に当る罪は全くみとめられなかった。だから、むち打ってから彼をゆるしてやることにしよう」。
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 ところが、彼らは大声をあげて詰め寄り、イエスを十字架につけるように要求した。そして、その声が勝った。
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 ピラトはついに彼らの願いどおりにすることに決定した。
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 そして、暴動と殺人とのかどで獄に投ぜられた者の方を、彼らの要求に応じてゆるしてやり、イエスの方は彼らに引き渡して、その意のままにまかせた。
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 彼らがイエスをひいてゆく途中、シモンというクレネ人が郊外から出てきたのを捕えて十字架を負わせ、それをになってイエスのあとから行かせた。
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 大ぜいの民衆と、悲しみ嘆いてやまない女たちの群れとが、イエスに従って行った。
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 イエスは女たちの方に振りむいて言われた、「エルサレムの娘たちよ、わたしのために泣くな。むしろ、あなたがた自身のため、また自分の子供たちのために泣くがよい。
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 『不妊の女と子を産まなかった胎と、ふくませなかった乳房とは、さいわいだ』と言う日が、いまに来る。
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 そのとき、人々は山にむかって、われわれの上に倒れかかれと言い、また丘にむかって、われわれにおおいかぶされと言い出すであろう。
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 もし、生木でさえもそうされるなら、枯木はどうされることであろう」。
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 さて、イエスと共に刑を受けるために、ほかにふたりの犯罪人も引かれていった。
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 されこうべと呼ばれている所に着くと、人々はそこでイエスを十字架につけ、犯罪人たちも、ひとりは右に、ひとりは左に、十字架につけた。
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 そのとき、イエスは言われた、「父よ、彼らをおゆるしください。彼らは何をしているのか、わからずにいるのです」。人々はイエスの着物をくじ引きで分け合った。
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 民衆は立って見ていた。役人たちもあざ笑って言った、「彼は他人を救った。もし彼が神のキリスト、選ばれた者であるなら、自分自身を救うがよい」。
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 兵卒どももイエスをののしり、近寄ってきて酢いぶどう酒をさし出して言った、
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 「あなたがユダヤ人の王なら、自分を救いなさい」。
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 イエスの上には、「これはユダヤ人の王」と書いた札がかけてあった。
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 十字架にかけられた犯罪人のひとりが、「あなたはキリストではないか。それなら、自分を救い、またわれわれも救ってみよ」と、イエスに悪口を言いつづけた。
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 もうひとりは、それをたしなめて言った、「おまえは同じ刑を受けていながら、神を恐れないのか。
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 お互は自分のやった事のむくいを受けているのだから、こうなったのは当然だ。しかし、このかたは何も悪いことをしたのではない」。
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 そして言った、「イエスよ、あなたが御国の権威をもっておいでになる時には、わたしを思い出してください」。
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 イエスは言われた、「よく言っておくが、あなたはきょう、わたしと一緒にパラダイスにいるであろう」。
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 時はもう昼の十二時ごろであったが、太陽は光を失い、全地は暗くなって、三時に及んだ。
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 そして聖所の幕がまん中から裂けた。
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 そのとき、イエスは声高く叫んで言われた、「父よ、わたしの霊をみ手にゆだねます」。こう言ってついに息を引きとられた。
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 百卒長はこの有様を見て、神をあがめ、「ほんとうに、この人は正しい人であった」と言った。
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 この光景を見に集まってきた群衆も、これらの出来事を見て、みな胸を打ちながら帰って行った。
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 すべてイエスを知っていた者や、ガリラヤから従ってきた女たちも、遠い所に立って、これらのことを見ていた。
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 ここに、ヨセフという議員がいたが、善良で正しい人であった。
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 この人はユダヤの町アリマタヤの出身で、神の国を待ち望んでいた。彼は議会の議決や行動には賛成していなかった。
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 この人がピラトのところへ行って、イエスのからだの引取り方を願い出て、
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 それを取りおろして亜麻布に包み、まだだれも葬ったことのない、岩を掘って造った墓に納めた。
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 この日は準備の日であって、安息日が始まりかけていた。
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 イエスと一緒にガリラヤからきた女たちは、あとについてきて、その墓を見、またイエスのからだが納められる様子を見とどけた。
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 そして帰って、香料と香油とを用意した。それからおきてに従って安息日を休んだ。
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
