ルカの福音書 7
1 イエズス其凡ての言を人民に説き聞かせ畢りて、カファルナウムに入り給ひしが、
And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
2 或百夫長、己が重んぜる僕の病みて死するばかりなれば、
and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3 イエズスの事を聞くや、ユデア人の長老等を遣はし、來りて其僕を醫し給はん事を請はしめたり。
and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
4 彼等イエズスの許に詣りて切に願ひ、彼人は之を為し給ふに堪へたる者なり、
And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
5 其は我が國民を愛し、我等の為に自ら會堂を建てたればなり、と云ひければ、
for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.'
6 イエズス彼等と共に往き給ひ、既に其家に遠からずなり給へる時、百夫長朋輩を遣はして云はしめけるは、主よ、自ら煩はし給ふこと勿れ、其は我不肖にして、主の我屋根の下に入り給ふに足らざればなり。
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
7 故に我身も御前に詣るに堪へずと思へり。然りながら唯一言にて命じ給へ、然らば我僕痊えん。
wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;
8 蓋我も人の権下に立つ者ながら、部下に兵卒ありて、此に往けと云へば往き、彼に來れと云へば來り、又我僕に之を為せと云へば為すなり、と。
for I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].'
9 イエズス之を聞きて感嘆し、從へる群衆を顧みて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、イスラエルの中にても、斯程の信仰に逢ひし事なし、と。
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
10 斯て遣はされし人々家に歸りて見れば、病みたりし僕既に痊えたりき。
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 其後イエズスナイムと云へる町に往き給ふに、弟子等も夥しき群衆も共に往きてありしが、
And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
12 町の門に近づき給ふ時、折しも舁出さるる死人あり。是は其母の獨子にて、母は寡婦なり、町の人夥しく之に伴ひ居たり。
and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13 主此寡婦を見給ふや哀れを感じ給ひて、泣くこと勿れ、と曰ひつつ、
And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'
14 近づきて棺に手を觸れ給ひしかば、舁ける人々立止れり。
and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
15 イエズス、若者よ、我汝に命ず、起きよ、と曰ふや、死したる者起返りて言ひ始めけるを、其母に與へ給ひしかば、
and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;
16 人々皆懼を懐き、光榮を神に歸して云ひけるは、大いなる預言者我等の中に起れり、神は其民を顧み給へるなり、と。
and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon His people.'
17 斯て此噂ユデア一般及凡て其周圍の地方に弘まれり。
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
18 ヨハネの弟子等、此一切の事を己が師に告げしかば、
And the disciples of John told him about all these things,
19 ヨハネ其弟子の二人を呼びて、來るべき者は汝なるか、或は我等の待つ者は尚外に在るか、と云ひてイエズスに遣はしければ、
and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
20 彼等イエズスの許に至りて云ひけるは、洗者ヨハネ我等を汝に遣はして、來るべき者は汝なるか或は我等の待つ者尚外に在るかと云ふ、と。
And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
21 當時イエズスは、多くの人を病と傷と惡鬼とより醫し、且多くの瞽者に視力を與へ給ひしが、
And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.
22 答へて使に曰ひけるは、汝等見聞せし事を、往きてヨハネに告げよ、即ち瞽者は見え、跛者は歩み、癩病者は潔く成り、聾者は聞え、死者は蘇り、貧者は福音を聞かせらる、
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23 総て我に就きて躓かざる人は福なり、と。
and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
24 ヨハネの使去りて後、イエズスヨハネの事を群衆に語出で給ひけるは、汝等何を見んとて荒野に出でしぞ、風に揺かさるる葦か、
And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
25 然らば何を見んとて出でしぞ、柔き衣服を着たる人か、看よ、値高き衣服を着て樂しく暮す人々は、帝王の家に在り、
but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 然らば何を見んとて出でしぞ、預言者か、我汝等に告ぐ、然り預言者よりも優れる者なり、
'But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 録して「看よ、我使を汝の面前に遣はさん、彼汝に先ちて汝の道を備ふべし」とあるは彼の事なり。
this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
28 即ち我汝等に告ぐ、婦より生れたる者の中に、洗者ヨハネより大なる預言者はあらず、然れど神の國にて最小き人も彼より大いなり。
for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'
29 彼に聞ける総ての人民税吏までも、ヨハネの洗禮を受けて神を義しとせり、
And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,
30 然れどファリザイ人、律法學士等は彼に洗せられずして、己に於る神の御旨を軽んぜり、と。
but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 主又曰ひけるは、然れば我現代の人を誰にか擬へん、彼等は、誰に似たるぞや、
And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 恰童等が衢に坐して語合ひ、我等、汝等の為に笛吹きたれども、汝等踊らず、汝等の為に嘆きたれども、汝等泣かざりき、と云へるに似たり。
they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
33 即ち洗者ヨハネ來りて、麪を食せず酒を飲まざれば、汝等、彼は惡魔に憑かれたりと云ひ、
'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon;
34 人の子來りて飲食すれば、彼は食を嗜み酒を飲み、税吏と罪人との友たり、と云ふ。
the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 然りながら、智恵は其凡ての子に義しとせられたり、と。
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
36 爰に一人のファリザイ人、イエズスに會食せん事を請ひければ、其ファリザイ人の家に入りて、食卓に就き給ひしが、
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
37 折しも其町に罪人なる一個の婦ありて、イエズスがファリザイ人の家にて食卓に就き給へるを聞くや、香油を盛りたる器を持來り、
and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
38 イエズスの足下にて其後に立ち、御足を次第に涙にて濡し、己が髪毛にて之を拭ひ、且御足に接吻し且香油を注ぎければ、
and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
39 イエズスを招きたるファリザイ人、之を見て心の中に云ひけるは、彼は果して預言者ならば、己に觸るる婦の誰にして如何なる人なるかを、能く知れるならん、彼婦は罪人なるものを、と。
And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'
40 イエズス答へて、シモンよ、我汝に云ふ事あり、と曰ひければ、彼、師よ、仰せられよ、と云ふに、
And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
41 [曰ひけるは]、或債主に二人の負債者あり、一人は五百デナリオ、一人は五十デナリオの負債あるを、
'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
42 還すべき由なければ、債主二人を共に免せり、斯て債主を最も愛せん者は孰れなるぞ、と。
and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
43 シモン答へて、我思ふに其は多くを免されたる者ならん、と云ひしに、イエズス、汝善く判断せり、と曰ひ、
And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
44 然て婦を顧みてシモンに曰ひけるは、此婦を見るか、我汝の家に入りしに、汝は我足の水を與へざりしを、此婦は涙を以て我足を濡し、己が髪毛を以て之を拭へり。
And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
45 汝は我に接吻せざりしに、此婦は入來りてより絶えず我足に接吻せり。
a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
46 汝は油を我頭に注がざりしに、此婦は香油を我足に注げり。
with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
47 此故に我汝に告ぐ、此婦は多く愛したるが故に、多くの罪を赦さるるなり、赦さるる事少き人は愛する事少し、と。
therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
48 斯て彼婦に向ひ、汝の罪赦さる、と曰ひしかば、
And he said to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
49 食卓を共にせる人々、心の中に言出でけるは、彼何人なれば罪をも赦すぞ、と。
and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
50 イエズス婦に向ひて、汝の信仰汝を救へり、安んじて往け、と曰へり。
and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
