ルカの福音書 16
1 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、
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 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、
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 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、
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 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、
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 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。
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 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。
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 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。
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 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。
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 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。
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 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。
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 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]。
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 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、
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 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。
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 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。
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 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。
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 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、
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 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、
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 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。
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 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、
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 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。
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 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。
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 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。
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 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、
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 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。
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 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。
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 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、
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 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。
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
