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 said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
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 he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
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、
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
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 am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, 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。
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you 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, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and 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。
Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (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。
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust 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 you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
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 you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
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 else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You 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 also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided 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, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is 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: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
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。
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her 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、
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
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、
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of 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 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: 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 in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in 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 he cried 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 tormented 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, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
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 beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
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、
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you 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。
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 one went 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 hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
