Luke 16
1 Jesus said to his disciples, “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
イエスまた弟子たちに言ひ給ふ『或 富める人に一人の支配人あり、主人の所有を費しをりと訴へられたれば、
2 So the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
主人かれを呼びて言ふ「わが汝につきて聞く所は、これ何事ぞ、務の報告をいだせ、汝こののち支配人たるを得じ」
3 ‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
支配人 心のうちに言ふ「如何にせん、主人わが職を奪ふ。われ土 掘るには力なく、物 乞ふは恥かし。
4 I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
我なすべき事こそ知りたれ、斯く爲ば職を罷めらるるとき、人々その家に我を迎ふるならん」とて、
5 One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
主人の負債者を一人 一人 呼びよせて、初の者に言ふ「なんぢ我が主人より負ふところ何 程あるか」
6 ‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
答へて言ふ「油、百 樽」支配人いふ「なんぢの證書をとり、早く坐して五 十と書け」
7 And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
又ほかの者に言ふ「負ふところ何 程あるか」答へて言ふ「麥、百 石」支配人いふ「なんぢの證書をとりて八 十と書け」
8 His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow men than those who have the light. (aiōn g165)
ここに主人、不義なる支配人の爲しし事の巧なるによりて、彼を譽めたり。この世の子らは、己が時代の事には光の子らよりも巧なり。 (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (aiōnios g166)
われ汝らに告ぐ、不義の富をもて、己がために友をつくれ。さらば富の失する時、その友なんぢらを永遠の住居に迎へん。 (aiōnios g166)
10 The person who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and the person who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
小事に忠なる者は大事にも忠なり。小事に不 忠なる者は大事にも不 忠なり。
11 So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the dishonest money, who will trust you with the true?
さらば汝 等もし不義の富に忠ならずば、誰か眞の富を汝らに任すべき。
12 And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
また汝 等もし人のものに忠ならずば、誰か汝 等のものを汝らに與ふべき。
13 No servant can serve two masters, for, either they will hate one and love the other, or else they will attach themselves to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
僕は二人の主に兼ね事ふること能はず、或は之を憎み彼を愛し、或は之に親しみ彼を輕しむべければなり。汝ら神と富とに兼ね事ふること能はず』
14 All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
ここに慾 深きパリサイ人ら、この凡ての事を聞きてイエスを嘲笑ふ。
15 “You,” said Jesus, “are the ones who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among people may be an abomination in the sight of God.
イエス彼らに言ひ給ふ『なんぢらは人のまへに己を義とする者なり。されど神は汝らの心を知りたまふ。人のなかに尊ばるる者は、神のまへに憎まるる者なり。
16 The Law and the prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the good news of the kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing their way into it.
律法と預言者とはヨハネまでなり、その時より神の國は宣傳へられ、人みな烈しく攻めて之に入る。
17 It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
されど律法の一畫の落つるよりも、天 地の過ぎ往くは易し。
18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
凡てその妻を出して、他に娶る者は、姦淫を行ふなり。また夫より出されたる女を娶る者も、姦淫を行ふなり。
19 There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendor.
或 富める人あり、紫色の衣と細布とを著て、日々 奢り樂しめり。
20 Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,
又ラザロといふ貧しき者あり、腫物にて腫れただれ、富める人の門に置かれ、
21 and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
その食卓より落つる物にて飽かんと思ふ。而して犬ども來りて其の腫物を舐れり。
22 After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
遂にこの貧しきもの死に、御使たちに携へられてアブラハムの懷裏に入れり。富める人もまた死にて葬られしが、
23 In Hades he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
黄泉にて苦惱の中より目を擧げて、遙にアブラハムと其の懷裏にをるラザロとを見る。 (Hadēs g86)
24 So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
乃ち呼びて言ふ「父アブラハムよ、我を憐みて、ラザロを遣し、その指の先を水に浸して我が舌を冷させ給へ、我はこの焔のなかに悶ゆるなり」
25 ‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
アブラハム言ふ「子よ、憶へ、なんぢは生ける間なんぢの善き物を受け、ラザロは惡しき物を受けたり。今ここにて彼は慰められ、汝は悶ゆるなり。
26 And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
然のみならず、此處より汝らに渡り往かんとすとも得ず、其處より我らに來り得ぬために、我らと汝らとの間に大なる淵 定めおかれたり」
27 ‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house –
富める人また言ふ「さらば父よ、願はくは我が父の家にラザロを遣したまへ。
28 For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
我に五 人の兄弟あり、この苦痛のところに來らぬよう、彼らに證せしめ給へ」
29 ‘They have the writings of Moses and the prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
アブラハム言ふ「彼らにはモーセと預言者とあり、之に聽くべし」
30 ‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if someone from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
富める人いふ「いな、父アブラハムよ、もし死人の中より彼らに往く者あらば、悔改めん」
31 ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if someone were to rise from the dead.’”
アブラハム言ふ「もしモーセと預言者とに聽かずば、たとひ死人の中より甦へる者ありとも、其の勸を納れざるべし」』
