マタイの福音書 20
1 天國は恰、家父朝早く出でて、其葡萄畑の為に働く者を雇うが如し。
FOR the kingdom of heaven is like a man, a house-lord, who went forth in the early morn to hire labourers for his vinery.
2 彼働く者に一日一デナリオの約束を為して、之を葡萄畑に遣はししが、
And he bargained with the labourers for a denarius a day, and sent them into his vinery.
3 又九時頃出でて、空しく市場に立てる他の人々を見て、
And he went forth in three hours, and saw others who were standing in the public place and unemployed.
4 汝等も我葡萄畑に往け、正當の物を與へん、と云ひければ彼等即往けり。
And he said to them, Go also you in the vinery, and what is suitable I will give you. Then went they.
5 然て十二時と三時頃と出でて、又同じ様に為ししが、
And he went forth again in six and nine hours, and did the same.
6 五時頃又出でて、他の立てる人々に遇ひて、何ぞ終日空しく此處に立てる、と云ひしに、
And about eleven hours he went out, and found others who were standing and unemployed; and he said to them, Why are you standing all the day unemployed?
7 彼等、雇ふ人なき故なり、と云ひしかば、彼、汝等も我葡萄畑に往け、と云へり。
They say to him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them, Go also you into the vinery, and whatever is suitable you shall receive.
8 然るに日没に至りて、葡萄畑の主其會計役に向ひ、働く者を呼びて、後の者より始め、先の者に至るまで賃金を與へよ、と云ひしかば、
But when it was evening, the lord of the vinery said to the chief of his household, Call the workmen and give to them their wages; and begin from the last unto the first.
9 五時頃來りし者至りて、各一デナリオを受けたり。
And they came who (had wrought) from eleven hours; and they received each a denarius.
10 先の者も亦來りて、我等は多く受くるならんと思ひしに、同じく各一デナリオを受けたれば、
But when the first came, they expected to take more; but they also received each a denarius.
11 之を受け取りつつ家父に向ひて呟き、
And when they had received, they murmured against the house-lord,
12 彼人々は一時働きしのみなるに、汝は終日の勞苦と暑氣とを忍びし我等と均しく之をあ遇へり、と云ひければ、
and said, These last have wrought one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us, who have borne the burden of the day and its heat.
13 家父其一人に答へて、友よ、我汝に不義を為すに非ず、汝は銀一枚にて我に約せしにあらずや、
But he answered and said to one of them, My friend, I am not unjust towards thee: didst thou not bargain with me for a denarius?
14 汝の分を取りて往け。我は此後の者にも、亦汝と齊しく與へんと欲す。
Take what is thine and go: I will unto these last to give as unto thee.
15 抑又我が欲する所を為すは善からざるか、我が善ければとて汝の目惡きか、と云ひしが、
Is it not lawful for me that whatsoever l am willing, I may do with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?
16 斯の如く後の人は先になり、先の人は後にならん。夫召されたる人は多けれども、選まるる人は少し、と。
Thus the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are the called, but few the chosen.
17 イエズスエルザレムに上り給ふに、竊に十二人の弟子を呼寄せて曰ひけるは、
NOW Jeshu was about to go up to Urishlem, and he took his twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them,
18 今や我等エルザレムに上る、然て人の子は司祭長律法學士等に付されん、彼等は之を死罪に處し、
Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and the Son of man is betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to the death;
19 又異邦人に付して弄らしめ、且鞭たしめ、且十字架に釘けしめん、斯て三日目に蘇るべし、と。
and they shall consign him to the Gentiles, and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and shall crucify him, and on the third day he shall arise.
20 時にゼベデオの子等の母、其子等と共にイエズスに近づき、禮拝して何事かを願はんとしければ、
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zabdai, she and her sons, and worshipped him, and supplicated a certain thing of him.
21 イエズス、何を望むか、と曰ひしに彼云ひけるは、此我二人の子を、御國に於て一人は汝の右に、一人は左に坐すべく命じ給へ。
But he said to her, What wilt thou? She said to him, Declare that these my two sons shall sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、汝等は願ふ所を知らず、汝等我が飲まんとする杯を飲み得るか、と。彼等得るなり、と云ひしかば、
Jeshu answered and said, You know not what you ask: are you able to drink the cup of which I am about to drink, or with the baptism with which I am baptized will you be baptized? They say unto him, We are able!
23 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等實に我杯を飲まん、然れど我右左に坐するは、我が汝等に與ふべきに非ず、我父より備へられたる人々にこそ與ふべきなれ、と。
He saith to them, My cup you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized you shall be baptized: but that you may sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to give, unless to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 斯て十人の弟子之を聞きて、二人の兄弟を憤りければ、
And when the ten heard it, they were indignant against those two brothers.
25 イエズス彼等を呼寄せて曰ひけるは、異邦人の君主が人を司り、大なる者人の上に権を振ふは汝等の知る所なり。
And Jeshu called them, and said to them, You know that the princes of the Gentiles are their lords, and their great ones exercise power over them;
26 汝等の中には然あるべからず、汝等の中に大ならんと欲する人は、却て汝等の僕となるべし、
but it shall not be so among you; but whoever among you willeth to be great, let him be minister to you.
27 又汝等の中に第一の者たらんと欲する人は、汝等の奴隷となるべし。
And whoever among you willeth to be first, let him be to you the servant.
28 是恰も人の子の來れるは仕へらるる為に非ずして、却て仕へん為、且衆人の贖として生命を棄てん為なるが如し。
So, the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life the redemption for many.
29 一行エリコを出づる時、群衆夥しくイエズスに從ひしが、
AND when Jeshu went forth from Jirichu, a great multitude cometh after him.
30 折しも路傍に坐せる二人の瞽者、イエズスの過ぎ給ふを聞き、主よ、ダヴィドの裔よ、我等を憐み給へ、と叫びければ、
And, behold, two blind men were sitting by the side of the way; and when they heard that Jeshu was passing, they gave voice, saying, Be merciful upon us, my Lord, Son of David!
31 群衆彼等を拒みて黙せしめんとすれども、彼等益叫びて、主よ、ダヴィドの裔よ、我等を憐み給へ、と云ひ居れり。
But the crowds rebuked them that they should be silent; but they lifted up their voice the more, saying, Our Lord, be merciful upon us, O Son of David!
32 イエズス立止り、彼等を呼びて曰ひけるは、我汝等に何を為さん事を欲するか、と。
And Jeshu stood and called them, and said, What will you that I should do for you?
33 彼等、主よ我等が目の開かれん事を、と云ひしに、
They say to him, Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 イエズス彼等を憐みて其目に触れ給ひしかば、彼等の目忽見えて、イエズスに從へり。
And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes were opened, and they went after him.
