ルカの福音書 8
1 其後イエズス、説教し且神の國の福音を宣べつつ、町々村々を巡廻し給ひければ、十二使徒之に伴ひ、
It happened soon afterward that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
2 又曾て惡鬼を逐払はれ、病を醫されたる數人の婦人、即ち七の惡魔の其身より出でたる、マグダレナと呼ばるるマリア、
as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out;
3 ヘロデの家令クサの妻ヨハンナ及スザンナ、其他多くの婦人ありて、己が財産を以て彼等に供給し居たり。
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; Susanna; and many others, who, out of their possessions, provided for their needs.
4 然て夥しき人、町々よりイエズスの許に走集りければ、イエズス喩を以て語り給ひけるは、
While a large crowd of people was gathering, and people were coming to him from town after town, he told a parable:
5 種播く人其種を播きに出でしが、播く時或者は路傍に落ちしかば、踏着けられ、空の鳥之を啄めり。
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 或者は石の上に落ちしかば、生出たれど、潤なきに由りて枯れたり。
Some fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 或者は茨の中に落ちしかば、茨共に長ちて之を蔽塞げり。
Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up together with the seed and choked it.
8 或者は沃壌に落ちしかば、生出でて百倍の實を結べり、と。イエズス此事を曰ひて、聞く耳を有てる人は聞け、と呼はり居給へり。
But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater.” After Jesus had said these things, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 弟子等、此喩を如何にと問ひしに、
His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 曰ひけるは、汝等は神の國の奥義を知る事を賜はりたれど、他の人は喩を以てせらる、是は彼等が見つつ視えず、聞きつつ暁らざらん為なり。
He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but for others I speak in parables, so that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
11 此喩は斯の如し、種は神の御言なり、
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 路傍の者は聞く人々にして、彼等の信じて救はれざらん為、後に惡魔來りて言を其心より奪ふなり。
The ones along the path are those who have heard, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so they may not believe and be saved.
13 石の上の者は、聞く時に喜びて言を受くれど、己に根無く、暫く信じて、誘の時には退く人々なり。
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing they fall away.
14 茨の中に落ちしは、聞きたる後、往く往く世の慮と富と快樂とに蔽塞がれて、實を結ばざる人々なり。
The seeds that fell among the thorns are people who hear the word, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 然るに沃壌に落ちしは、善良なる心にて、言を聞きて之を保ち、忍耐を以て實を結ぶ人々なり。
But the seed that fell on the good soil, these are the ones who, hearing the word with an honest and good heart, hold it securely and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 誰も燈を點して、器を以て之を覆ひ、或は寝台の下に置く者はあらず、入來る者に明を見せん為に、之を燭台の上に置く。
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters may see the light.
17 蓋秘して露れざるはなく、隠れて遂に知れず公にならざるはなし。
For nothing is hidden that will not be made known, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come into the light.
18 此故に汝等聞方に注意せよ。其は有てる人は尚與へられ、有たぬ人は其有てりと思ふ物をも奪はるべければなり、と。
So listen carefully, for to the one who has, more will be given to him, but the one who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 然てイエズスの母、兄弟、逢はんとて來りしかど、群衆の為に近づくこと能はざりしかば、
Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
20 汝の母、兄弟汝に逢はんとて外に立てり、と告ぐる者ありしに、
He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 イエズス答へて人々に曰ひけるは、神の御言を聴き且行ふ人、是我母、兄弟なり、と。
But Jesus answered and said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 一日イエズス、弟子等と共に小舟に乗り給ひしに、我等湖の彼方に渡らん、と曰ひて軈て乗出せり。
Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
23 斯て渡る間にイエズス眠り給ひしが、暴風湖に吹下し來り、水舟に充ちて危かりければ、
But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 弟子等近づきて、師よ、我等亡ぶ、と云ひつつイエズスを覚ましたるに、起きて風と怒涛とを戒め給ひしかば、波風息みて凪となれり。
Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 然て、汝等の信仰何處に在る、と曰ひければ、彼等且怖れ且感嘆して、是を誰と思ふぞ、風も湖も、命じ給へば是に從ふよ、と云合へり。
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 又ガリレアに對へるゲラサ人の地方に渡りて、
They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 上陸し給ひしに、一箇の人ありて之を迎へたり。彼惡魔に憑かれたる事既に久しくして、衣服をも着ず家にも住まず、墓にのみ居りしが、
When Jesus stepped on the land, he was met by a certain man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but among the tombs.
28 イエズスを見るや御前に平伏し、聲高く叫びて、最高き神の御子イエズスよ、我と汝と何の関係かあらん。願くは我を苦しむること勿れ、と云へり。
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and he said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
29 是イエズス惡鬼に、此人より出でよ、と命じ給へばなり。蓋彼惡鬼に執へらるる事既に久しく、鎖にて縛られ、桎にて護らるるも、繋を破り、惡魔に駆られて、荒野に往き居たりき。
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and he would be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 イエズス之に問ひて、汝の名は何ぞ、と曰ひしに彼、軍団なり、と云へり、其は之に入りたる惡魔多ければなり。
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” and he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
They kept begging him not to send them into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 其處に多くの豚の群、山にて草を食み居しかば、惡魔等其豚に入るを允されん事を請ひけるに、イエズス之を允し給ひければ、
Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.
33 惡魔等其人より出でて豚に入り、其群周章しく崖より湖に飛入りて溺死せり。
So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and was drowned.
34 牧者等其成行を見るや迯往きて、町に村に吹聴せしかば、
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and told about it in the city and countryside.
35 人々事の様を見んとて出でしが、イエズスの許に來り、彼惡魔の出でたりし人の、既に衣服を纏ひ心確にして、イエズスの足下に坐せるを見て怖れたり。
So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 斯て見し人々も亦、惡魔憑の救はれし次第を誰彼に告げしかば、
Then those who had seen it told them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed.
37 ゲラサ地方の人民挙りて、己等より立去り給はん事をイエズスに請へり、是大いに怖れたればなり。然てイエズス船に乗りて歸り給ひしに、
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were overwhelmed with great fear. So he got into the boat so they could start back.
38 惡魔の離れし男伴はん事を願ひしかど、イエズス之を去らして曰ひけるは、
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 己が家に歸りて、神が如何ばかり大いなる事を汝に為し給ひしかを告げよ、と。斯くて彼は普く町を廻りて、イエズスの如何ばかり大いなる事を己に為し給ひしか言弘めたり。
“Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
40 イエズス歸り給ひしに、人皆待居たりければ、群衆之を歓迎せり。
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41 折しも名をヤイロと云える人來り、會堂の司なりしが、イエズスの足下に平伏して、己が家に入り給はん事を請へり、
Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,
42 其は己に十二歳ばかりの獨女ありて、将に死なんとすればなり。イエズス往き給ふ途にて、群衆に押蹙られ給へる中に、
because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.
43 十二年來血漏を患へる一人の女、曾て醫者の為に悉く其財産を費したれども、誰の手にも醫され得ざりしが、
Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money, and could not be healed by anyone.
44 後より近づきてイエズスの衣服の総に觸れしかば、其の出血忽止れり。
She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 イエズス、我に觸れし者は誰ぞ、と曰へば皆否めるを、ペトロ及び之に伴ひたる人々云ひけるは、師よ、群衆押蹙りて汝を煩はすに、猶誰か我に觸れし、と曰ふか。
Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”
46 イエズス曰ひけるは、我に觸れし者あり、我霊能の我身より出でたるを覚ゆればなり、と。
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 女其隠れざりしを見て慄きつつ、來りてイエズスの足下に平伏し、其觸れし理由と直に痊えたる次第とを公衆の前に明しければ、
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
48 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、女よ汝の信仰汝を救へり、安んじて往け、と。
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 言未了らざるに、人會堂の司の許に來り、汝の女死せり、師を煩わすこと勿れ、と云ひしに、
While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
50 イエズス此言を聞きて女の父に答へ給ひけるは、懼るること勿れ、唯信ぜよ、然らば彼助かるべし、と。
But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 斯て其家に至り給ひて、ペトロ、ヤコボ、ヨハネ及び女の父母の外、共に入る事を誰にも許し給はず、
When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.
52 人皆女の為に泣き且歎き居れるを、泣く勿れ、女は死したるに非ず、寝ねたるなり、と曰ひしに、
Now all were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 人々は彼の死したるを知りて、之を嘲笑ひ居たり。
But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 然るにイエズス、女の手を取り、呼はりて、女起きよ、と曰へば、
But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
55 其霊還りて女直に起きしかば、之に食物を與ふる事を命じ給へり。
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He ordered them to get her something to eat.
56 兩親は甚く驚きしが、成りし事を誰にも語るな、とイエズス戒め給へり。
Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
