マタイの福音書 19
1 イエスこれらの言を語り終へて、ガリラヤを去り、ヨルダンの彼方なるユダヤの地方に來り給ひしに、
And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these words, he moved away from Galilee, and he arrived within the borders of Judea, across the Jordan.
2 大なる群衆したがひたれば、此處にて彼らを醫し給へり。
And great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 パリサイ人ら來り、イエスを試みて言ふ『何の故にかかはらず、人その妻を出すは可きか』
And the Pharisees approached him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the cause?”
4 答へて言ひたまふ『人を造り給ひしもの、元始より之を男と女とに造り、而して、
And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said:
5 「かかる故に人は父 母を離れ、その妻に合ひて、二人のもの一體となるべし」と言ひ給ひしを未だ讀まぬか。
“For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.
6 されば、はや二人にはあらず、一體なり。この故に神の合せ給ひし者は、人これを離すべからず』
And so, now they are not two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
7 彼らイエスに言ふ『さらば何 故モーセは離縁状を與へて出すことを命じたるか』
They said to him, “Then why did Moses command him to give a bill of divorce, and to separate?”
8 彼らに言ひ給ふ『モーセは汝の心つれなきによりて妻を出すことを許したり。されど元始より然にはあらぬなり。
He said to them: “Although Moses permitted you to separate from your wives, due to the hardness of your heart, it was not that way from the beginning.
9 われ汝らに告ぐ、おほよそ淫行の故ならで其の妻をいだし他に娶る者は、姦淫を行ふなり』
And I say to you, that whoever will have separated from his wife, except because of fornication, and who will have married another, commits adultery, and whoever will have married her who has been separated, commits adultery.”
10 弟子たちイエスに言ふ『人もし妻のことに於てかくのごとくば、娶らざるに如かず』
His disciples said to him, “If such is the case for a man with a wife, then it is not expedient to marry.”
11 彼らに言ひたまふ『凡ての人この言を受け容るるにはあらず、ただ授けられたる者のみなり。
And he said to them: “Not everyone is able to grasp this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
12 それ生れながらの閹人あり、人に爲られたる閹人あり、また天國のために自らなりたる閹人あり、之を受け容れうる者は受け容るべし』
For there are chaste persons who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are chaste persons who have been made so by men, and there are chaste persons who have made themselves chaste for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to grasp this, let him grasp it.”
13 ここに人々イエスの手をおきて祈り給はんことを望みて、幼兒らを連れ來りしに、弟子たち禁めたれば、
Then they brought to him little children, so that he would place his hands upon them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 イエス言ひたまふ『幼兒らを許せ、我に來るを止むな、天國はかくのごとき者の國なり』
Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”
15 かくて手を彼らの上におきて此處を去り給へり。
And when he had imposed his hands upon them, he went away from there.
And behold, someone approached and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good should I do, so that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 イエス言ひたまふ『善き事につきて何ぞ我に問ふか、善き者は唯ひとりのみ。汝もし生命に入らんと思はば誡命を守れ』
And he said to him: “Why do you question me about what is good? One is good: God. But if you wish to enter into life, observe the commandments.”
18 彼いふ『孰を』イエス言ひたまふ『「殺すなかれ」「姦淫するなかれ」「盜むなかれ」「僞證を立つる勿れ」
He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said: “You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony.
19 「父と母とを敬へ」また「己のごとく汝の隣を愛すべし」』
Honor your father and your mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
20 その若者いふ『我みな之を守れり、なほ何を缺くか』
The young man said to him: “All these I have kept from my childhood. What is still lacking for me?”
21 イエス言ひたまふ『なんぢ若し全からんと思はば、往きて汝の所有を賣りて貧しき者に施せ、さらば財寶を天に得ん。かつ來りて我に從へ』
Jesus said to him: “If you are willing to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
22 この言をききて、若者 悲しみつつ去りぬ。大なる資産を有てる故なり。
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23 イエス弟子たちに言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、富める者の天國に入るは難し。
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, that the wealthy shall enter with difficulty into the kingdom of heaven.
24 復なんぢらに告ぐ、富める者の神の國に入るよりは、駱駝の針の孔を通るかた反つて易し』
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
25 弟子たち之をきき、甚だしく驚きて言ふ『さらば誰か救はるることを得ん』
And upon hearing this, the disciples wondered greatly, saying: “Then who will be able to be saved?”
26 イエス彼らに目を注めて言ひ給ふ『これは人に能はねど、神は凡ての事をなし得るなり』
But Jesus, gazing at them, said to them: “With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.”
27 ここにペテロ答へて言ふ『視よ、われら一切をすてて汝に從へり、されば何を得べきか』
Then Peter responded by saying to him: “Behold, we have left behind all things, and we have followed you. So then, what will be for us?”
28 イエス彼らに言ひ給ふ『まことに汝らに告ぐ、世あらたまりて人の子その榮光の座位に坐するとき、我に從へる汝 等もまた十二の座位に坐して、イスラエルの十二の族を審かん。
And Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that at the resurrection, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, those of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And anyone who has left behind home, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for the sake of my name, shall receive one hundred times more, and shall possess eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 されど多くの先なる者 後に、後なる者 先になるべし。
But many of those who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
