マタイの福音書 27
1 第九項 イエズスピラトの前に出廷し給ふ 黎明に及びて、司祭長民間の長老等、皆イエズスを死に處せんと協議し、
Very early the next morning all the chief priests and Jewish elders decided how [to arrange for the Romans] to execute Jesus.
2 縛りて之を召連れ、総督ポンショ、ピラトに付せり。
They tied his hands and took him to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
3 時にイエズスを付ししユダ、其宣告せられ給ひしを見て後悔し、三十枚の銀貨を司祭長長老等に齎して之を返し、
When Judas, the one who had (betrayed/enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize) him, realized that they had decided to have Jesus executed, he was very sorry [about what he had done]. He took the 30 coins back to the chief priests and elders.
4 我無罪の血を売りて罪を犯せり、と云ひしかば彼等云ひけるは、我等に於て何かあらん、汝自見るべし、と。
He said, “I have sinned. I have (betrayed/enabled you to seize) a man who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong).” They replied, “(That means nothing to us!/What does that mean to us?) [RHQ] That is your problem!”
5 ユダ銀貨を[神]殿の内に投棄てて去りしが、往きて縄を以て自縊れたり。
So Judas [took] the money [and] threw it inside the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 司祭長等、其銀貨を取りて云ひけるは、是血の値なれば賽銭箱に入るべからず、と。
[Later] the high priests [found] the coins. They picked them up and said, “This is money that we paid [to have a man killed] [MTY], and our law does not allow [such money] to be put {us to put [such money]} into the [Temple treasury].”
7 即ち協議して、是にて陶匠の畑を買ひ、旅人の墓地に充てたり。
So they decided to use that money to buy the field where clay was dug for making pots {men dug ground for making pots}. [They made that field] a place where they buried strangers [who died in Jerusalem].
8 故に此畑、今日までもハケルダマ、即ち血の畑と呼ばれたり。
That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ‘The field of blood’.
9 是に於て預言者エレミアによりて云はれし事成就せり、曰く「彼等はイスラエルの子等に評價られしものの値なる銀貨三十枚を取り、
[By buying that field], they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote [long ago]: They took the 30 silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided [that he was worth];
10 陶匠の畑の為に與へたり、主の我に示し給へる如し」と。
and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.
11 然てイエズス、総督の前に出廷し給ひしに、総督問ひて云ひけるは、汝はユデア人の王なるか。イエズス曰ひけるは、汝の云へるが如し、と。
Jesus stood in front of [Pilate], the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “[It is] as you have [just] said.”
12 斯て司祭長、長老等より訴へられ給へども、何事をも答へ給はざりければ、
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.
13 ピラト是に云ひけるは、彼等が汝に對して如何に大なる證言を為すかを聞かざるか、と。
So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; [are you not going to reply]?”
14 イエズス一言も是に答へ給はざりしかば、総督感嘆する事甚しかりき。
But [even though he was not guilty], Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.
15 茲に、祭日に當りて総督が人民の欲する所の囚人一個を釈すの例ありしが、
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison]. [He released] whichever prisoner the people wanted.
16 折しもバラバと云へる名高き囚人あるにより、
At that time there was [in Jerusalem] a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.
17 ピラト彼等の集りたるに、汝等は我誰を釈さん事を欲するか、バラバかキリストと云へるイエズスか、と云へり。
So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which [prisoner] would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom [some of you] claim to be the Messiah?”
18 其は人が妬によりてイエズスを付ししを知ればなり。
[He asked that question] because he realized that the chief priests [wanted to have Jesus executed]. They had brought Jesus to him [only] because they were jealous of Jesus. [And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus].
19 然て総督法廷に坐しけるに、其妻人を遣はして云ひけるは、汝此義人に係はること勿れ、蓋我今日夢の中に、彼の為に多く苦しめり、と。
While Pilate was sitting on the platform [where he made] judicial [decisions], his wife sent him [this message]: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”
20 司祭長、長老等人民に向ひ、バラバを乞ひてイエズスを亡ぼさん事を勧めしが、
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask [Pilate to] release Barabbas, and to [order] that Jesus be executed {that [his soldiers] execute Jesus}.
21 総督答へて、汝等は二人の中何れを釈されん事を望むか、と云ひしに彼等、バラバを、と云ひしかば、
So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”
22 ピラト云ひけるは、然らばキリストと云へるイエズスを我如何に處分せんか。
Pilate, [very astonished], asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who [some of you] say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “[Command that] he be crucified! {[Command your soldiers] (to crucify him/to nail him to a cross)}!”
23 皆曰く、十字架に釘けよ、と。総督、彼何の惡を為ししか、と云ひたれど彼等益叫びて、十字架に釘けよ、と云ひ居たり。
Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Have] him crucified {[Command that your soldiers] crucify him}!”
24 ピラト其何の効もなく却て騒動の彌増すを見て、水を取り、人民の前に手を洗ひて云ひけるは、此義人の血に就きて我は罪なし、汝等自ら見るべし、と。
Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took [a basin of] water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “[By washing my hands I am showing you that] if this man dies [MTY], it is [your] fault, [not mine]!”
25 人民皆答へて、其血は我等と我等の子等との上に[被れかし]、と云ひしかば、
And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die [MTY] will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”
26 総督バラバを彼等に釈し、イエズスをば鞭たせて十字架に釘けん為彼等に付せり。
Then he [ordered the soldiers to] release Barabbas for them. But he [ordered that his soldiers] flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them (to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him).
27 然て総督の兵卒等、イエズスを役所に引取り、全隊を其許に呼集め、
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole (cohort/group of soldiers) gathered around him.
28 其衣服を褫ぎて赤き袍を着せ、
They pulled off [his clothes], and [pretending he was a king, they] put a purple robe on him.
29 茨の冠を編みて其頭に冠らせ、右の手に葦を持たせ、其前に跪きて、ユデア人の王よ安かれ、と云ひて嘲り、
They [took some branches with] thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed [like a staff that a king would hold]. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews [IRO]!”
30 又是に唾吐きかけ、葦を取りて其頭を打ち居れり。
They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.
31 第十項 十字架上の犠牲 イエズスを嘲弄して後、其袍を褫ぎて原の衣服を着せ、十字架に釘けんとて引行きしが、
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to [the place where they] would nail him to a cross.
32 街を出る時、シモンと名くるシレネ人に遇ひしかば、強て是に其十字架を擔はせたり。
[After Jesus carried his cross] a short distance, [the soldiers] saw a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city]. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.
33 斯てゴルゴタ即ち髑髏と云へる處に至り、
They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ‘the place [like] a skull’.
34 胆を和ぜたる葡萄酒をイエズスに飲ませんとせしに、之を嘗め給ひて、飲む事を肯じ給はざりき。
When [they got there], they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to [Jesus] to drink [so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross]. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. [Some soldiers took his clothes].
35 彼等イエズスを十字架に釘けて後、籤を抽きて其衣服を分ちしが、是預言者に託りて云はれし事の成就せん為なり。曰く「彼等互に我衣服を分ち、我下着を抽鬮にせり」と。
Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
36 彼等復坐してイエズスを守り居りしが、
Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, [to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him].
37 其頭の上に、是ユデア人の王イエズスなり、と書きたる罪標を置けり。
They fastened [to the cross] above Jesus’ head a [sign on which had been] {[they had]} written why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all] it said was, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews’.
38 然て是と共に二人の強盗、一人は其右に、一人は其左に十字架に釘けられしが、
Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross on the left side.
39 往來の人イエズスを罵り、首を振りて、
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads [as if he were an evil man].
40 噫汝神殿を毀ちて三日の中に之を建直す者よ、自を救へ、若神の子ならば十字架より下りよ、と云ひ居たり。
They said, “You [said you] would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! [So if you could do that], you [should be able to] save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”
41 司祭長等も亦、律法學士、長老等と共に同じく嘲りて云ひけるは、
Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the elders made fun of him. [Various ones of them] said things like,
42 彼は他人を救ひしに自を救ふ能はず、若イスラエルの王ならば、今十字架より下るべし、然らば我等彼を信ぜん。
“He [claims that he] saved others [IRO] [from their sicknesses], but he cannot help himself!” “He [says that he] is [IRO] the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”
43 彼は神を頼めり、神若彼を好せば今救ひ給ふべし、其は「我は神の子なり」と云ひたればなり、と。
“He [says that he] trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”
44 イエズスと共に十字架に釘けられたる強盗等も、同じ様に罵り居たり。
And the [two] bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.
45 斯て十二時より三時まで、地上徧く黒暗となりしが、
At noon it became dark over the whole land. [It stayed dark] until three o’clock [in the afternoon].
46 三時頃、イエズス聲高く呼はりて曰ひけるは、エリ、エリ、ラマ、サバクタニ、と。是即、我神よ、我神よ、何ぞ我を棄て給ひしや、の義なり。
At about three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’
47 其處に立てる者の中、或人々之を聞きて、彼エリアを呼ぶよ、と云ひ居りしが、
When some of the people standing there heard [the word ‘Eli’, misunderstanding it], they said, “He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
48 軈て其中の一人走行き、海綿を取りて酢を含ませ、葦に附けて彼に飲ませんとせるに、
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on [the tip of] a reed and [held it up in order that Jesus] could suck out [the wine that was in it].
49 他の人、措け、エリア來りて彼を救ふや否やを見ん、と云ひ居たり。
But the other [people there] said, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him!”
50 イエズス復聲高く呼はりて息絶え給へり。
Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over [to God].
51 折しも[神]殿の幕、上より下まで二に裂け、地震ひ、盤破れ、
At that moment the [heavy thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God]. The earth shook, and [some large] rocks split open.
52 墓開け、眠りたる聖人の屍多く起上りしが、イエズスの復活の後、
[Some] tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.
53 墓を出でて聖なる都に至り、多くの人に現れたり。
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people [there].
54 百夫長及是と共にイエズスを守れる人々、地震と起れる事とを見て甚怖れ、彼は實に神の子なりき、と云へり。
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby]. His soldiers who had been on guard [so that no one would rescue] Jesus [were also there]. When they [felt] the earthquake and saw all the [other] things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”
55 然て此處に、ガリレアよりイエズスに從ひて事へつつありし多くの婦人、立離れて居りしが、
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee [district] in order to provide the things he needed.
56 マグダレナ、マリアと、ヤコボ、ヨセフの母なるマリアと、ゼベデオの子等の母と其中に在りき。
Among these women were Mary from Magdala [town], [another] Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.
57 日暮に及びて、アリマテアの富者ヨゼフと云へる者來り、己もイエズスの弟子なりければ、
When it was [almost] evening, a rich man named Joseph came [there]. He was from Arimathea [town]. He also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 ピラトに至りてイエズスの屍を乞ひたるに、ピラト之を付す事を命ぜしかば、
He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to [allow him to take] the body of Jesus [and bury it]. Pilate ordered that [he] be allowed to {[his soldiers] let [Joseph]} take [the body].
59 ヨゼフ屍を取りて浄き布に包み、
So Joseph [and others] took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.
60 磐に鑿りたる新しき墳に納め、其の墳の入口に大なる石を転ばして去れり。
Then they placed it in Joseph’s own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. They rolled a huge [circular flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.
61 マグダレナ、マリアと他のマリアとは其處に在りて、墳に向ひて坐し居たり。
Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, [watching].
62 翌日、即ち用意日の次の日、司祭長ファリザイ人等、ピラトの許に集ひ至りて
The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and [some of] the Pharisees went to Pilate.
63 云ひけるは、君よ、我等思出したり、彼僞者尚存命せし時、我三日の後復活せんと云ひしなり。
They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I [die I] will become alive again.’
64 然れば命じて三日目まで墳を守らせよ、恐らくは其の弟子等來りて之を盗み、死より復活せりと人民に云はん、然らば後の惑は前よりも甚しかるべし、と。
So we ask you to order that the tomb be guarded {that [soldiers] guard the tomb} for three days. If you do not do that, his disciples may come and steal the body. Then they will tell people that he has risen from the dead. If they deceive [people by saying that], it will be worse than the way he deceived people before [by saying that he was the Messiah].”
65 ピラト彼等に向ひ、汝等に番兵あり、往きて思ふ儘に守れと云ひければ、
Pilate replied, “You [can] take some soldiers. Go to the tomb and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 彼等往きて石に封印し、番兵に墳を守らせたり。
So they went and made the tomb secure by [fastening a cord from] the stone [that was in front of the entrance to the rock cliff on each side] and sealing it. They also [left some soldiers there to] guard [the tomb].
