Luke 16
1 Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this manager was wasting his possessions.
イエズス又弟子等に曰ひけるは、或富豪に一人の家令ありしが、主人の財産を浪費せりとて、訟出でられしかば、
2 So the rich man called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
主人彼を召び、我が汝に就きて聞く所は是何事ぞや、汝最早家令たるを得ざれば、家令たりし時の會計を差出せ、と云ひしに、
3 The manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking away my management job? I do not have strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
家令心の中に謂ひけるは、我主人家令の職を我より褫へる上は、我何を為すべきぞ、耕す事は叶はず、乞食するは羞し、
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management job, people will welcome me into their houses.'
家令を罷められたる後、人々の家に承けられん為には、為すべき様こそあれ、とて、
5 Then the manager called for each one of his master's debtors, and he asked the first one, 'How much do you owe to my master?'
主人に負債ある人々を呼集めて、初の一人に云ひけるは、我主人に對する汝の負債は幾許ぞ、と。
6 He said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
彼、油百樽なり、と云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取り、早く坐して五十と書け、と。
7 Then the manager said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
又次の者に云ひけるは、汝の負債は幾許ぞと、彼、麦百石なりと云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取りて八十と書け、と。
8 The master then commended the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own people than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
然るに主人、此不正なる家令を誉めて、其手段を巧なりとせり。蓋此世の子等は互に光の子等よりも巧なればなり。 (aiōn g165)
9 I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
我も亦汝等に告ぐ、汝等不正の富を以て友人を作り、息絶えし後、汝等に永遠の住處に承入れしむべく為よ。 (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
抑小事に忠なる人は大事にも亦忠なり、小事に不正なる人は大事にも亦不正なり。
11 If you have not been faithful in using unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
然れば汝等若し不正の富に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か眞の富を汝等に托せん。
12 If you have not been faithful in using other people's property, who will give you money of your own?
又他人の物に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か汝等の物を汝等に與へん。
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
一人の僕は二人の主に兼事ふること能はず、或は一人を憎みて一人を愛し、或は一人に從ひて一人を疎むべければなり。汝等は神と富とに兼事ふること能はず、[と宣へり]。
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
然るに貪欲なるファリザイ人等、此始終の事を聞きて嘲りければ、
15 He said to them, “You justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is detestable in the sight of God.
イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等は人の前に自ら義とする者なり、然れど神は汝等の心を知り給ふ、蓋人に取りて高き者は、神の御前に憎むべき者なり。
16 The law and the prophets were in effect until John came. From that time on, the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone tries to force their way into it.
律法と預言者等とはヨハネを限とす、其時より神の國は宣傳へられ、人皆力を盡して之に到らんとす。
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
総て妻を出して他に娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり、又夫より出されたる婦を娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり。
19 Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and was enjoying every day his great wealth.
曾て一人の富豪あり、緋色の布と亜麻布とを纏ひ、日々奢り暮らしたるに、
20 A certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
又ラザルと云へる一人の乞食あり、全身腫縻れて富豪の門前に偃し、
21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
其食卓より落つる屑に飽足らん事を欲すれども與ふる人なく、而も犬等來りて其腫物を舐り居たり。
22 It came about that the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,
然るに乞食死にければ、天使に携へられてアブラハムの懐に至りたるに、富豪も亦死して地獄に葬られしが、 (Hadēs g86)
23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
苦痛の中に在りて、目を翹げて、遥にアブラハムと其懐なるラザルとを見、
24 So he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'
叫びて云ひけるは、父アブラハムよ、我を憫みてラザルを遣はし、其指先を水に浸して我舌を冷させ給へ、我は此焔の中に甚く苦しめるを、と。
25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
アブラハム之に云ひけるは、子よ、汝が存命の間善き物を受け、ラザルが同じ間に惡き物を受けしを記憶せよ、然ればこそ今彼は慰められて汝は苦しむなれ。
26 Besides all this, a great chasm has been put in place, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot, and no one can cross over from there to us.'
加之、我等と汝等との間には大いなる淵の定置かれたれば、此處より汝等の處へ渡らんと欲するも叶はず、其處より此處に移る事も叶はざるなり、と。
27 The rich man said, 'I beg you, Father Abraham, that you would send him to my father's house—
富豪又云ひけるは、然らば父よ、希はくはラザルを我父の家に遣はし、
28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that it may not be that they come into this place of torment.'
我に兄弟五人あれば、彼等も亦此苦悩の處に來らざる様、之に證明せしめ給へ、と。
29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.'
アブラハム之に云ひけるは、モイゼと預言者等とあれば、彼等は之に聴くべきなり、と。
30 The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone would go to them from the dead, they will repent.'
富豪、否父アブラハムよ、然れど若死者の中より至る者あらば、彼等改心すべし、と云ひければ、
31 But Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'”
アブラハム之に向ひて、若モイゼと預言者等とに聴かざる彼等ならば、假令死者の中より復活すとも信ぜざるべし、と云へり、と。
