マタイの福音書 17
1 六日の後イエズス、ペトロとヤコボと其兄弟ヨハネとを別に、高き山に連行き給ひしに、
Now after six days Jesus takes Peter, James and his brother John and leads them up on a high mountain, in private.
2 彼等の前にて御容變り、御顔は日の如く輝き、其衣服は雪の如く白くなれり。
And He was transfigured before them and his face shone like the sun, while His clothes became as white as the light.
3 折しもモイゼとエリアと、彼等に現れてイエズスと語り居りしが、
When wow, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with Him.
4 ペトロ答へてイエズスに云ひけるは、主よ、善哉我等が此處に居る事。思召ならば、此處に三の廬を造り、一は汝の為、一はモイゼの為、一はエリアの為にせん、と。
Then Peter reacted and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, let us make three booths: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5 彼尚語れるに、折しも輝ける雲彼等を蔽ひ、雲より聲して曰はく、「是ぞ能く我心を安んぜる我愛子なる、是に聴け」、と。
While he was still speaking a brilliant cloud overshadowed them, and then, a Voice came out of the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son in whom I am always well pleased. Hear Him!”
6 弟子等聴きつつ倒伏し、懼るる事甚しかりき。
As the disciples heard it they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
7 イエズス近づきて彼等に触れ、起きよ、懼るること勿れ、と曰ひしかば、
Then Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, don't be afraid.”
8 彼等目を翹げしに、イエズスの外誰をも見ざりき。
So lifting up their eyes they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 彼等が山を下る時、イエズス是を戒めて、人の子死人の中より蘇る迄は、汝等が見し事を誰にも語ること勿れ、と曰ひしに、
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of the Man is risen from the dead.”
10 弟子等問ひて云ひけるは、然らばエリア先に來るべし、と律法學士等の云へるは何ぞや。
So His disciples questioned Him saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 答へて曰ひけるは、實にエリアは來りて萬事を改むべし。
In answer Jesus said to them: “Elijah is indeed coming first, and he will restore all things.
12 但我汝等に告ぐ、エリアは既に來れり、然れど人々之を識らず、而も縦に遇へり。斯の如く、人の子も亦彼等より苦を受けんとす、と。
But I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. Thus also the Son of the Man is about to suffer at their hands.”
13 是に於て弟子等、是洗者ヨハネを斥して曰ひしものなる事を暁れり。
Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
14 イエズス群衆の處に來り給ひしに、或人是に近づき、前に跪きて云ひけるは、
As they came to the crowd a man approached Him and kneeling to Him said:
15 主よ、我子を憐み給へ、癲癇にて屡火の中に倒れ、苦しむこと甚し、
“Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is moonstruck and suffers badly! For he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 之を汝の弟子等に差出したれど、彼等は醫すこと能はざりき、と。
So I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 イエズス答へて、嗚呼不信邪惡の代なる哉。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。彼を我に携へ來れ、と曰ひて、
Then in answer Jesus said: “O faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 惡魔を戒め給ひしかば、惡魔出でて子は即時に痊えたり。
And Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that very hour.
19 時に弟子等竊にイエズスに近づきて、我等が之を逐出す能はざりしは何故ぞ、と云ひしに、
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
20 イエズス曰ひけるは、汝等の不信仰に由れり。我誠に汝等に告ぐ、汝等若芥種ほどの信仰だにあらば、此山に向ひて、此處より彼處に移れと云はんに、山移らん、斯て汝等に能はざる事なからん。
So Jesus said to them: “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed has, you (ye) will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 然れど此類は、祈祷と断食とに由らざれば逐出されざるなり、と。
However, this class does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 弟子等ガリレアに居れるに、イエズス曰ひけるは、人の子は人々の手に付されんとす、
While they were staying in Galilee Jesus said to them, “The Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,
23 彼等は之を殺すべく、斯て三日目に蘇るべし、と。弟子等憂ふる事甚しかりき。
and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised.” And they were seriously grieved.
24 彼等カファルナウムに來りし時、二ドラクマ銀貨を取立つる人々ペトロに近づき、汝等の師は二ドラクマ銀貨を納めざるか、と云ひしかばペトロ、
When they entered Capernaum those who collected the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
25 納む、と云ひしが、頓て家に入りしに、イエズス先ちて之に曰ひけるは、シモンよ汝如何に思ふぞ、世の帝王は、貢又は税を誰より取るぞ、己が子等よりか、他人よりか、と。
He says, “Yes.” So when they entered the house Jesus anticipated him saying: “Simon, what do you think? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or poll tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
26 ペトロ、他人より取るなり、と云ひしに、イエズス曰ひけるは、然らば子等は自由なり。
Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him: “Well then, the sons are free.
27 然れど彼等を躓かせざる為に、汝湖に往きて釣を垂れよ、さて初に上る魚を取りて其口を開かば、スタテル銀貨を得べし、之を取りて我と汝との為に彼等に納めよ、と。
But, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And opening its mouth you will find a ‘stater’ [a coin]; take that and give it to them for me and you.”
