ヨハネの福音書 8
1 イエス、オリブ山にゆき給ふ。
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
2 夜明ごろ、また宮に入りしに、民みな御許に來りたれば、坐して教へ給ふ。
and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
3 ここに學者・パリサイ人ら、姦淫のとき捕へられたる女を連れきたり、眞中に立ててイエスに言ふ、
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 『師よ、この女は姦淫のをり、そのまま捕へられたるなり。
they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 モーセは律法に、斯かる者を石にて撃つべき事を我らに命じたるが、汝は如何に言ふか』
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
6 かく云へるは、イエスを試みて、訴ふる種を得んとてなり。イエス身を屈め、指にて地に物 書き給ふ。
and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
7 かれら問ひて止まざれば、イエス身を起して『なんぢらの中、罪なき者まづ石を擲て』と言ひ、
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 また身を屈めて地に物 書きたまふ。
and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
9 彼 等これを聞きて良心に責められ、老人をはじめ若き者まで一人 一人いでゆき、唯イエスと中に立てる女とのみ遺れり。
and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 イエス身を起して、女のほかに誰も居らぬを見て言ひ給ふ『をんなよ、汝を訴へたる者どもは何處にをるぞ、汝を罪する者なきか』
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 女いふ『主よ、誰もなし』イエス言ひ給ふ『われも汝を罪せじ、往け、この後ふたたび罪を犯すな』］
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
12 かくてイエスまた人々に語りて言ひ給ふ『われは世の光なり、我に從ふ者は暗き中を歩まず、生命の光を得べし』
Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
13 パリサイ人ら言ふ『なんぢは己につきて證す、なんぢの證は眞ならず』
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
14 イエス答へて言ひ給ふ『われ自ら己につきて證すとも、我が證は眞なり、我は何處より來り何處に往くを知る故なり。汝らは我が何處より來り、何處に往くを知らず、
Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 なんぢらは肉によりて審く、我は誰をも審かず。
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 されど我もし審かば、我が審判は眞なり、我は一人ならず、我と我を遣し給ひし者と偕なるに因る。
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 また汝らの律法に、二人の證は眞なりと録されたり。
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 我みづから己につきて證をなし、我を遣し給ひし父も我につきて證をなし給ふ』
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
19 ここに彼ら言ふ『なんぢの父は何處にあるか』イエス答へ給ふ『なんぢらは我をも我が父をも知らず、我を知りしならば、我が父をも知りしならん』
They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
20 イエス宮の内にて教へし時、これらの事を賽錢函の傍らにて語り給ひしが、彼の時いまだ到らぬ故に、誰も捕ふる者なかりき。
These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
21 かくてまた人々に言ひ給ふ『われ往く、なんぢら我を尋ねん。されど己が罪のうちに死なん、わが往くところに汝ら來ること能はず』
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
22 ユダヤ人ら言ふ『「わが往く處に汝ら來ること能はず」と云へるは、自殺せんとてか』
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
23 イエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢらは下より出で、我は上より出づ、汝らは此の世より出で、我は此の世より出でず。
and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 之によりて我なんぢらは己が罪のうちに死なんと云へるなり。汝 等もし我の夫なるを信ぜずば、罪のうちに死ぬべし』
I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
25 彼ら言ふ『なんぢは誰なるか』イエス言ひ給ふ『われは正しく汝らに告げ來りし所の者なり。
They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
26 われ汝らに就きて語るべきこと審くべきこと多し、而して我を遣し給ひし者は眞なり、我は彼に聽きしその事を世に告ぐるなり』
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 これは父をさして言ひ給へるを、彼らは悟らざりき。
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
28 ここにイエス言ひ給ふ『なんぢら人の子を擧げしのち、我の夫なるを知り、又わが己によりて何事をも爲さず、ただ父の我に教へ給ひしごとく、此 等のことを語りたるを知らん。
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
29 我を遣し給ひし者は、我とともに在す。我つねに御意に適ふことを行ふによりて、我を獨おき給はず』
and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 此 等のことを語り給へるとき、多くの人々イエスを信じたり。
As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
31 ここにイエス己を信じたるユダヤ人に言ひたまふ『汝 等もし常に我が言に居らば、眞にわが弟子なり。
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 また眞理を知らん、而して眞理は汝らに自由を得さすべし』
and the truth shall make you free.'
33 かれら答ふ『われはアブラハムの裔にして、未だ人の奴隷となりし事なし。如何なれば「なんぢら自由を得べし」と言ふか』
They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
34 イエス答へ給ふ『まことに誠に汝らに告ぐ、すべて罪を犯す者は罪の奴隷なり。
Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 この故に子もし汝らに自由を得させば、汝ら實に自由とならん。
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 我は汝らがアブラハムの裔なるを知る、されど我が言なんぢらの衷に留らぬ故に、我を殺さんと謀る。
'I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;
38 我はわが父の許にて見しことを語り、汝らは又なんぢらの父より聞きしことを行ふ』
I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
39 かれら答へて言ふ『われらの父はアブラハムなり』イエス言ひ給ふ『もしアブラハムの子ならば、アブラハムの業をなさん。
They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
40 然るに汝らは今、神より聽きたる眞理を汝らに告ぐる者なる我を殺さんと謀る。アブラハムは斯かることを爲さざりき。
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
41 汝らは汝らの父の業を爲すなり』かれら言ふ『われら淫行によりて生れず、我らの父はただ一人、即ち神なり』
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
42 イエス言ひたまふ『神もし汝らの父ならば、汝ら我を愛せん、われ神より出でて來ればなり。我は己より來るにあらず、神われを遣し給へり。
Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
43 何 故わが語ることを悟らぬか、是わが言をきくこと能はぬに因る。
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
44 汝らは己が父 惡魔より出でて、己が父の慾を行はんことを望む。彼は最初より人殺なり、また眞その中になき故に眞に立たず、彼は虚僞をかたる毎に己より語る、それは虚僞 者にして虚僞の父なればなり。
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 然るに我は眞を告ぐるによりて、汝ら我を信ぜず、
'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 汝 等のうち誰か我を罪ありとして責め得る。われ眞を告ぐるに、我を信ぜぬは何 故ぞ。
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
47 神より出づる者は神の言をきく、汝らの聽かぬは神より出でぬに因る』
he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
48 ユダヤ人こたへて言ふ『なんぢはサマリヤ人にて惡鬼に憑かれたる者なりと、我らが云へるは宜ならずや』
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 イエス答へ給ふ『われは惡鬼に憑かれず、反つて我が父を敬ふ、なんぢらは我を輕んず。
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
50 我はおのれの榮光を求めず、之を求めかつ審判し給ふ者あり。
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
53 汝われらの父アブラハムよりも大なるか、彼は死に、預言者たちも死にたり、汝はおのれを誰とするか』
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
54 イエス答へたまふ『我もし己に榮光を歸せば、我が榮光は空し。我に榮光を歸する者は我が父なり、即ち汝らが己の神と稱ふる者なり。
Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
55 然るに汝らは彼を知らず、我は彼を知る。もし彼を知らずと言はば、汝らの如く僞 者たるべし。されど我は彼を知り、且その御言を守る。
and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 汝らの父アブラハムは、我が日を見んとて樂しみ且これを見て喜べり』
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
57 ユダヤ人いふ『なんぢ未だ五十歳にもならぬにアブラハムを見しか』
The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 イエス言ひ給ふ『まことに誠に汝らに告ぐ、アブラハムの生れいでぬ前より我は在るなり』
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
59 ここに彼ら石をとりてイエスに擲たんとしたるに、イエス隱れて宮を出で給へり。
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
