< マルコの福音書 9 >
1 又彼等に曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、神の國が権威を以て來るを見るまで、死を味はざるべき人々、此處に立てる者の中に在り、と。
And He said to them, “I tell you assuredly: there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God present with power.”
2 六日の後イエズス、ペトロヤコボヨハネのみを別に從へて、高き山に導き給ひしに、彼等の前にて御容變り、
After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up on a high mountain alone by themselves. Then He was transfigured in front of them;
3 衣服は輝きて純白なる事雪の如く、地上の布晒人の為し得ざる程なりき。
His clothing became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth is able to whiten.
4 時にエリアモイゼと共に彼等に現れて、イエズスと語り居りしが、
And Elijah appeared to them, along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 ペトロ答へて、イエズスに云ひけるは、ラビ、善哉我等が此處に居る事。我等三個の廬を作り、一は汝の為、一はモイゼの為、一はエリアの為にせん、と。
Well Peter reacted by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three shelters: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
6 蓋彼は其云ふ所を知らざりき、其は皆甚く懼れ居たればなり。
(Because they were terrified, he didn't know what to say.)
7 斯て一叢の雲彼等を立覆ひ、聲雲の中より來りて曰はく、是ぞ我最愛の子なる、是に聴け、と。
With that a cloud was covering them and a Voice came out of the cloud: “This is my Son, the beloved. Listen to Him!”
8 彼等は直に見廻しけるに、イエズスと己等との外、復誰をも見ざりき。
And then, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 イエズス彼等が山を下る時、人の子死者の中より復活するまでは、其見しことを人に語るな、と戒め給ひしかば、
Now as they were coming down from the mountain, He ordered them not to recount to any one the things they had seen until the Son of the Man had risen from the dead.
10 彼等之を守りしが、死者の中より復活する迄とは何事ぞ、と論じ合ひたり。
So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the ‘rising from the dead’ meant.
11 斯てイエズスに問ひて、然らばエリア先に來るべしとファリザイ人律法學士等の云へるは何ぞや、と云ひければ、
And they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 答へて曰ひけるは、エリア先に來りて萬事を回復すべし、又人の子に就きては、多くの苦難を受け且蔑にせらるべし、と録されたる如く、
So in answer He said to them: “Elijah indeed does come first, and restores all things; also how it is written concerning the Son of the Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt.
13 我汝等に告ぐ、エリアも既に來れり、且人々縦に彼を遇ひし事、彼に就きて録されたるに違はず、と。
Still, I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has also come, and they did to him as they wished, as it is written about him.”
14 イエズス弟子等の許に來り見給ひしに、夥しき群衆彼等を圍み、律法學士等彼等と論じ居りしが、
Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.
15 人民は直にイエズスを見て、皆驚き恐れ、馳寄りて敬禮せり。
Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him.
16 イエズス律法學士等に向ひ、何を論じ合へるぞ、と曰ひしに、
He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 群衆の中より一人答へて云ひけるは、師よ、我唖なる惡鬼に憑かれたる我子を汝に齎したるが、
In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute spirit.
18 惡鬼に憑かるれば、何處にもあれ、投げ倒されて泡を噴き、歯を切り、五體強る。之を追出さん事を汝の弟子等に請ひたれど能はざりき、と。
And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.”
19 イエズス彼等に答へて曰ひけるは、嗚呼信仰なき時代なる哉、我何時まで汝等と共に居らんや、何時まで汝等を忍ばんや。其を我に携へ來れ、と。
But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!”
20 即携へ來りしが、彼イエズスを見るや、直に惡鬼の為に痙攣を起し、地に倒されて泡を噴きつつ臥転びたり。
So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth.
21 イエズス其父に向ひ、彼に此事の起れるは、何時頃よりぞ、と問ひ給ひしに、
Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood.
22 父云ひけるは、幼少の時よりなり、而して惡鬼之を殺さんと、屡火に水に投げ入れたり。汝若為べき様もあらば、我等を憫みて助け給へ、と。
Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 イエズス是に曰ひけるは、汝若信ずることを得ば、信ずる人には何事も能はざるなし、と。
Jesus said to him, “It's ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes.”
24 子の父、忽涙と共に呼はりて云ひけるは、主よ、我は信ず、我信仰を扶け給へ、と。
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 イエズス群衆の馳集るを見て汚鬼を責め、唖にして聾なる惡鬼よ、我汝に命ず、此人より立去りて、再入ること勿れ、と曰ひしに、
When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him and never enter him again!”
26 惡鬼叫びつつ彼を痙攣せしめて出去れり。然て彼は死人の如くに成りしかば、死せりと云ふ人多かりしが、
Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He's dead.”
27 イエズス其手を執りて起し給ひければ、彼立上れり。
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.
28 イエズス家に入り給ひしに、弟子等竊に、我等が之を逐出すこと能はざりしは何故ぞ、と問ひしかば、
Well upon His entering a house His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn't we cast it out?”
29 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、斯る類は、祈祷と断食とによらでは、如何にしても逐出すこと能はざるなり、と。
He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except prayer and fasting.”
30 斯て此處を去りて一行ガリレアを過りしが、イエズス誰にも知られざらん事を欲し給ひ、
Having gone out from there they were passing through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know;
31 弟子等に教へて、人の子は人の手に売れ、是に殺され、殺されて三日目に復活すべし、と曰ひしかども、
because He was teaching His disciples and saying to them, “The Son of the Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and once killed he will rise on the third day.”
32 彼等其言を暁らず、又問ふ事をも憚り居たりき。
But they were not understanding this information, yet were afraid to ask Him.
33 彼等カファルナウムに至りて家に居りしに、イエズス問ひて、汝等途々何を論じたりしぞ、と曰へば、
Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”
34 彼等黙然たりき、是は己等の中に最大いなる者は誰ぞ、と道すがら相争ひたればなり。
But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.
35 イエズス坐して十二人を呼び、是に曰ひけるは、人若第一の者たらんと欲せば一同の後と成り、一同の召使と成るべし、と。
So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
36 然て一人の幼兒を取りて彼等の中に置き、之を抱きて彼等に曰ひけるは、
Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him said to them,
37 誰にもあれ、我名の為に、斯る幼兒の一人を承くる人は、我を承くる者なり、又誰にもあれ、我を承くる人は、我を承くるには非ずして、我を遣はし給ひし者を承くるなり。
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”
38 ヨハネ答へて云ひけるは、師よ、我等に從はざる一人が、汝の名を以て惡魔を逐払ふを見たれば、我等之を禁じたりき。
So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us.”
39 イエズス曰ひけるは、禁ずること勿れ、其は我名を以て奇蹟を行ひながら、直に我を謗り得る者あらざればなり。
But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.
40 即汝等に反せざる人は、汝等の為にする者なり。
For he who is not against you is for you.
41 汝等がキリストに属する者なればとて、我名の為に一杯の水を飲まする人あらば、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、彼は其報を失はじ。
Further, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, I tell you with certainty, he will by no means lose his reward.
42 又我を信ずる此小き者の一人を躓かする人は、驢馬の挽く磨を頚に懸けられて海に投入れらるる事、寧彼に取りて優れり。
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe into me to fall, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 若汝の手汝を躓かさば之を切れ、不具にて生命に入るは、兩手ありて地獄の滅えざる火に往くより、汝に取りて優れり、 (Geenna )
Further, if your hand is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life maimed than having both hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna )
where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
45 若汝の足汝を躓かさば之を切れ、片足にて永遠の生命に入るは、兩足ありて滅えざる火の地獄に投入れらるるより、汝に取りて優れり。 (Geenna )
And if your foot is causing you to fall, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into the Life lame than having both feet to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire— (Geenna )
where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
47 若汝の目汝を躓かさば、之を抉去れ、片目にて神の國に入るは、兩目ありて火の地獄に投入れらるるより、汝に取りて優れり、 (Geenna )
And if your eye is causing you to fall, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than having both eyes to be thrown into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna )
where ‘the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
49 各火を以て醃けられ、犠牲は各塩を以て醃けられん。
“Further, everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50 塩は善き物なり、然れど塩若其味を失はば、何を以てか是に醃せんや。汝等の心に塩あれ、汝等の間に平和あれ、[と曰へり]。
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
