< John 19 >

1 Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
ここにピラト、イエスをとりて鞭うつ。
2 The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
兵卒ども茨にて冠冕をあみ、その首にかむらせ、紫色の上衣をきせ、
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
御許に進みて言ふ『ユダヤ人の王やすかれ』而して手掌にて打てり。
4 Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
ピラト再び出でて人々にいふ『視よ、この人を汝らに引 出す、これは何の罪あるをも我が見ぬことを汝らの知らん爲なり』
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
ここにイエス茨の冠冕をかむり、紫色の上衣をきて出で給へば、ピラト言ふ『視よ、この人なり』
6 When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
祭司長・下役どもイエスを見て叫びいふ『十字架につけよ、十字架につけよ』ピラト言ふ『なんぢら自らとりて十字架につけよ、我は彼に罪あるを見ず』
7 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
ユダヤ人こたふ『我らに律法あり、その律法によれば死に當るべき者なり、彼はおのれを神の子となせり』
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
ピラトこの言をききて増々おそれ、
9 So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
再び官邸に入りてイエスに言ふ『なんぢは何處よりぞ』イエス答をなし給はず。
10 So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
ピラト言ふ『われに語らぬか、我になんぢを赦す權威あり、また十字架につくる權威あるを知らぬか』
11 Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
イエス答へ給ふ『なんぢ上より賜はらずば、我に對して何の權威もなし。この故に我をなんぢに付しし者の罪は更に大なり』
12 Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
ここにおいてピラト、イエスを赦さんことを力む。されどユダヤ人さけびて言ふ『なんぢ若しこの人を赦さば、カイザルの忠臣にあらず、凡そおのれを王となす者はカイザルに叛くなり』
13 When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
ピラトこれらの言をききて、イエスを外にひきゆき、敷石(ヘブル語にてガバタ)といふ處にて審判の座につく。
14 It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
この日は過越の準備 日にて、時は第六時ごろなりき。ピラト、ユダヤ人にいふ『視よ、なんぢらの王なり』
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
かれら叫びていふ『除け、除け、十字架につけよ』ピラト言ふ『われ汝らの王を十字架につくべけんや』祭司長ら答ふ『カイザルの他われらに王なし』
16 Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
ここにピラト、イエスを十字架に釘くるために彼らに付せり。彼らイエスを受取りたれば、
17 [As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
イエス己に十字架を負ひて、髑髏(ヘブル語にてゴルゴダ)といふ處に出でゆき給ふ。
18 There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
其處にて彼らイエスを十字架につく。又ほかに二人の者をともに十字架につけ、一人を右に、一人を左に、イエスを眞中に置けり。
19 Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
ピラト罪標を書きて十字架の上に掲ぐ『ユダヤ人の王、ナザレのイエス』と記したり。
20 Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
イエスを十字架につけし處は都に近ければ、多くのユダヤ人この標を讀む、標はヘブル、ロマ、ギリシヤの語にて記したり。
21 So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
ここにユダヤ人の祭司長らピラトに言ふ『ユダヤ人の王と記さず、我はユダヤ人の王なりと自稱せりと記せ』
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
ピラト答ふ『わが記したることは記したるままに』
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
兵卒どもイエスを十字架につけし後、その衣をとりて四つに分け、おのおの其の一つを得たり。また下衣を取りしが、下衣は縫目なく、上より惣て織りたる物なれば、
24 So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
兵卒ども互にいふ『これを裂くな、誰がうるか鬮にすべし』これは聖書の成就せん爲なり。曰く『かれら互にわが衣をわけ、わが衣を鬮にせり』兵卒ども斯くなしたり。
25 Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
さてイエスの十字架の傍らには、その母と母の姉妹と、クロパの妻マリヤとマグダラのマリヤと立てり。
26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
イエスその母とその愛する弟子との近く立てるを見て、母に言ひ給ふ『をんなよ、視よ、なんぢの子なり』
27 And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
また弟子に言ひたまふ『視よ、なんぢの母なり』この時より、その弟子かれを己が家に接けたり。
28 Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
この後イエス萬の事の終りたるを知りて、――聖書の全うせられん爲に――『われ渇く』と言ひ給ふ。
29 There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
ここに酸き葡萄酒の滿ちたる器あり、その葡萄酒のふくみたる海綿をヒソプに著けてイエスの口に差附く。
30 When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
イエスその葡萄酒をうけて後いひ給ふ『事 畢りぬ』遂に首をたれて靈をわたし給ふ。
31 That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
この日は準備 日なれば、ユダヤ人、安息 日に屍體を十字架のうへに留めおかじとて(殊にこの度の安息 日は大なる日なるにより)ピラトに、彼らの脛ををりて屍體を取除かんことを請ふ。
32 So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
ここに兵卒ども來りて、イエスとともに十字架に釘けられたる第一の者と他のものとの脛を折り、
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
而してイエスに來りしに、はや死に給ふを見て、その脛を折らず。
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
然るに一人の兵卒、鎗にてその脅をつきたれば、直ちに血と水と流れいづ。
35 I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
之を見しもの證をなす、其の證は眞なり、彼はその言ふことの眞なるを知る、これ汝 等にも信ぜしめん爲なり。
36 These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
此 等のことの成りたるは『その骨くだかれず』とある聖 句の成就せん爲なり。
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
また他に『かれら己が刺したる者を見るべし』と云へる聖 句あり。
38 Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
この後、アリマタヤのヨセフとて、ユダヤ人を懼れ密にイエスの弟子たりし者、イエスの屍體を引 取らんことをピラトに請ひたれば、ピラト許せり、乃ち往きてその屍體を引取る。
39 Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
また曾て夜 御許に來りしニコデモも、沒藥・沈香の混和物を百 斤ばかり携へて來る。
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
ここに彼らイエスの屍體をとり、ユダヤ人の葬りの習慣にしたがひて、香料とともに布にて卷けり。
41 Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
イエスの十字架につけられ給ひし處に園あり、園の中にいまだ人を葬りしことなき新しき墓あり。
42 The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
ユダヤ人の準備 日なれば、この墓の近きままに其處にイエスを納めたり。
