ルカの福音書 14
1 イエズス安息日に麪を食せんとて、ファリザイ人の長だちたる或者の家に入り給ひしかば、彼等之を窺ひ居たり、
And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
2 折しも水腫に罹れる人御前に居りければ、
And behold, there was before him a certain man which had the dropsy.
3 イエズス答へて律法學士とファリザイ人とに向ひ、安息日に醫すは可きか、と曰ひしに、
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?
4 彼等黙然たりしかば、イエズス彼を執へて醫し、さて之を去らしめて、
But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 彼等に答へて曰ひけるは、汝等の中己が驢馬或は牛の井に陥ちたるものあらんに、安息日なりとも、誰か速に之を引上げざらんや、と。
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?
6 彼等は之に對して、答ふること能はざりき。
And they could not answer again unto these things.
7 又招かれたる人々の上席を擇む状態を見て、彼等に喩を語りて曰ひけるは、
And he spake a parable unto those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,
8 汝婚莚に招かれたる時、上席に着くこと勿れ、恐らくは汝よりも尊き人の招かれたらんに、
When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him,
9 汝と彼とを招きたる人來りて汝に向ひ、請ふ此客に席を譲れと云はん、然らば汝赤面して末席に着くに至るべし。
and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 然れば招かれたる時、往きて末席に着け、然らば招きたる人來りて、友よ上に進めと云はん。斯て汝、列席せる人々の前に面目あるべし。
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.
11 蓋総て自ら驕る人は下げられ、自ら遜る人は上げらるべし、と。
For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 イエズス又己を招きたる人に曰ひけるは、汝午餐又は晩餐を設くる時、朋友、兄弟、親族、富める隣人を招くこと勿れ、恐らくは彼等も亦汝を招きて汝に報とならん。
And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
13 さて饗筵を設けば、貧窮、廃疾、跛、瞽なる人を招け、
But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 彼等は汝に報ゆべき由なくして、汝福なるべし。其は義人の復活の時に報いらるべければなり、と。
and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
15 列席者の一人、之を聞きてイエズスに云ひけるは、神の國にて麪を食せん人は福なる哉、と。
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、或人大いなる晩餐を設けて、多くの人を招待せしが、
But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:
17 晩餐の時刻に至りて僕を遣はし、最早萬事整ひたれば來られよ、と招かれたる人々に云はしめしに、
and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.
18 彼等皆一同に辞り出でたり。初の者は、我小作場を買ひたれば往きて見ざるべからず、請ふ我を容せ、と云ひ、
And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 次の者は、我五軛の牛を買ひたれば往きて試みんとす、請ふ我を容せ、と云ひ、
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 又一人は、我妻を娶りたるが故に往くこと能はず、と云ひしかば、
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 僕歸りて其次第を主人に告げしに、家父怒りて僕に云ひけるは、速に町の衢と辻とに往きて、貧窮、廃疾、瞽、跛なる人々を此處に伴ひ來れ、と。
And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.
22 僕軈て、主よ命じ給ひし如くに為しかど尚空席あり、と云ひしかば、
And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.
23 其時主人僕に云ひけるは、汝道及籬の下に往き、人を強ひて、我家に盈つるまで入らしめよ、と。
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 我汝等に告ぐ、彼招かれたる者の中、一人も我晩餐を味はじ、と。
For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 群衆夥しくイエズスに伴ひければ、顧みて曰ひけるは、人我に來りて、
Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 其父母、妻子、兄弟、姉妹、己が生命までも憎むに非ざれば、我弟子たること能はず、
If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 又己が十字架を擔ひて我に從はざる人は、我弟子たること能はず。
Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 汝等の中誰か、塔を建てんと欲して、先坐して之に要する費用を測り、有てる物の之を成就するに足れりや否やを計へざらんや、
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?
29 若礎を定めたる後成就すること能はずば、見る者之を嘲り出でて、
Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
30 此人は建て始めて成就すること能はざりき、と云はん。
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 又如何なる王か、出でて他の王と戰を交へんとするに當り、先坐して、二萬を率ゐ來る者に、能く我一萬を以て對ふことを得べきか、と、慮らざらんや、
Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 若得べからずば敵の尚遠き間に、使節を遣はして講和を求むべし。
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.
33 之と齊しく汝等の中、其有てる物を悉く見限らざる者は、誰にてもあれ我弟子たること能はず。
So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 塩は善き物なり、然れど塩若其味を失はば、何を以てか之に塩せん、
Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 土地にも肥料にも益なくして、外に棄てられんのみ、聞く耳を有てる人は聞け、と。
It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men] cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
