ルカの福音書 11
1 斯てイエズス、或處にて祈り給へるに、其終り給ふや、弟子の一人云ひけるは、主よ、ヨハネも其弟子に教へし如く、我等に祈る事を教へ給へ、と。
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等祈る時に斯く言へ、父よ、願はくは御名の聖とせられん事を、御國の來らん事を、
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 我等の日用の糧を、日々我等に與へ給へ、
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 我等も総て己に負債ある人を免すに由り、我等の罪を免し給へ、我等を試に引き給ふこと勿れ、と。
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 又曰ひけるは、汝等の中友を有てる者、夜中に其許に往き、友よ、我に三の麪を貸せ、
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 我一個の友人旅路を我許に來れるに、之に供すべき物なければ、と言はんに、
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 彼内より答へて、我を煩はすこと勿れ、戸は既に閉ぢ、我子等我と共に床に在れば、起きて汝に與ふることを得ず、と言ふ事あらんか、
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 然るを猶叩きて止まざる時は、我汝等に告ぐ、彼人假令己が友なればとては起きて與へざるも、其煩はしさの為に起きて、其の要する程の物を與ふるならん。
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 我も汝等に告ぐ、願へ、然らば與へられん、探せ、然らば見出さん、叩け、然らば[戸を]開かれん、
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 其は総て願ふ人は受け、探す人は見出し、叩く人は[戸を]開かるべければなり。
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 汝等の中誰か父に麪を乞はんに其父石を與へんや、或は魚を[乞はんに]其代に蛇を與へんや、
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 或は卵を乞はんに蠍を與へんや、
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 然れば汝等惡き者ながらも、善き賜を其子等に與ふるを知れば、况や天に在す汝等の父は、己に願ふ人々に善良なる霊を賜ふべきをや、と。
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 イエズス惡魔を逐出し給ふに、其人唖なりしが、既に惡魔を逐出し給ふや唖言ひしかば、群衆感嘆せり。
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 然れど其中の或人々は、彼が惡魔を逐出すは惡魔の長ベエルゼブブに依るなり、と謂ひ、
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 又他の人は、イエズスを試みんとて、天よりの徴を之に求め居たり。
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 イエズス其心を見抜きて彼等に曰ひけるは、総て自ら分れ争ふ國は亡び、[分れ争ふ]家と家とも亦倒るべし、
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 サタン若自ら分れ争はば、其國如何にしてか立つべき、蓋汝等は謂ふ、我ベエルゼブブに由りて惡魔を逐出すと。
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 我若ベエルゼブブに由りて惡魔を逐出すならば、汝等の子等は誰に由りて之を逐出すぞ、然らば彼等は汝等の審判者となるべし。
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 然れど我若神の指を以て惡魔を逐出すならば、神の國は眞に汝等に來れるなり。
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 強き者武装して其住所を守る時は、其有てる物安全なりと雖、
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 若彼より強き者襲來りて彼に勝たば、悉く其恃める武器を奪ひて、其捕獲物を分たん。
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 我と共に在らざる人は我に反し、我と共に集めざる人は散らすなり。
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 汚鬼人より出でし時、荒れたる處を巡りて安息を求むれども得ず、曰く、出でし我家に歸らん、と。
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 即ち來りて其家の掃清められ飾られたるを見るや、
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 往きて己よりも惡き七の惡鬼を携へ、共に入りて此處に住む、斯て其人の末は前よりも更に惡くなるなり、と。
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 此事等の事を曰へるに、或女群衆の中より聲を揚げて、福なる哉汝を孕しし胎よ、汝の吮ひし乳房よ、と云ひしかば、
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 イエズス曰ひけるは、寧ろ福なる哉、神の言を聴きて之を守る人々よ、と。
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 然て群衆馳集りければ、イエズス語出で給ひけるは、現代は邪惡の代にして、徴を求むれども、預言者ヨナの徴の外は徴を與へられじ、
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 即ちヨナがニニヴ人に徴となりし如く、人の子の現代に於るも亦然り。
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 南方の女王は、審判に當りて、現代の人と共に立ちて之を罪に定めん、彼は地の極より、サロモンの智恵を聴かんとて來りたればなり、看よ、サロモンに優れるもの茲に在り。
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 ニニヴ人は審判に當りて現代の人と共に立ちて之を罪に定めん、彼等はヨナの説教によりて改心したればなり、看よ、ヨナに優れるもの茲に在り。
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 燈を點して、隠れたる處又は桝の下に置く者はあらず、入來る人に明を見せん為に之を燭台の上に置く。
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 汝の身の燈は目なり、其目にして善くば、全身明かなるべく、若惡しくば其身も亦暗かるべし。
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 此故に、汝に在る明の闇にならざる様心せよ、
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 汝の全身明かにして闇の處なくば、全體明かにして輝ける燈に照らさるる如くならん、と[語り給へり]。
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 イエズス語り給へる中に、一人のファリザイ人、己が家にて食し給はんことを請ひしかば、入りて食に就き給ひしが、
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 イエズス食前に身を洗ひ給はざりしを、此人見て訝りければ、
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 主之に曰ひけるは、偖も汝等ファリザイ人は、杯と皿との外部を淨むれど、汝等の内部は盗と不義とに満てり。
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 愚なる者等よ、外部を造り給ひし者は、亦内部をも造り給ひしに非ずや。
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 然りながら餘れる物を施せ、然らば一切の物直に汝等の為に淨めらるべし。
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 然れど禍なる哉汝等ファリザイ人、其は薄荷、荃蓀、其他一切の野菜の十分の一を納むれど、義と神を愛する事とを措けばなり、是等を為してこそ彼等をも怠らざるべかりしなれ。
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 禍いなる哉汝等ファリザイ人、其は會堂にては上座を、衢にては敬禮を好めばなり。
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 禍なる哉汝等、蓋露れざる墓に似て、上を歩む人々之を知らざるなり、と。
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 律法學士の一人之に答へて、師よ、斯く言ひては、我等にも侮辱を加ふるなり、と云ひしかば、
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 イエズス曰ひけるは、汝等も禍なる哉律法學士、其は人々には擔ひ得ざる荷を負はすれど、自らは指一だも其荷に觸れざればなり。
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 禍なる哉汝等、預言者等の墓標を建つる者、之を殺ししは汝等の先祖にして、
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 汝等自ら其先祖の所為に同意する事を證す、其は彼等之を殺したるに汝等其墓を建つればなり。
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 是によりて亦神の智恵曰はく、「我彼等に預言者及び使徒等を遣はさんに、彼等は其中の者を殺し、又は迫害せん」と。
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 然れば世界開闢以來、流されたる凡ての預言者の血、
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 即ちアベルの血より祭壇と神殿との間に倒れしザカリアの血に至るまで、現代は其罪を問はれん、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、現代は斯の如く罪を問はるべし。
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 禍いなる哉汝等律法學士、其は知識の鍵を奪取りて、自らも入らず、入らんとする人々をも拒みたればなり、と。
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 是等の事を曰ふ中に、ファリザイ人、律法學士等甚しく憤出でて、様々の事を以て閉口せしめんとし、
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 イエズスを訟へんとして陰謀を廻らし、其口より何事をか捉へんとせり。
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
