< Matthew 26 >

1 When Jesus had finished [saying] all those things, he said to [us] disciples,
第四項 敵等イエズスの死刑を謀る イエズス総て此談を畢り給ひて、弟子等に曰ひけるは、
2 “You know that two days from now [we will celebrate] the Passover [festival]. [At that time] I, the one who came from heaven, will be handed over to {they will put me, the one who came from heaven, into the hands of} those who will nail me to a cross.”
汝等の知れる如く、二日の後は過越の祝行はれん。然て人の子は十字架に釘けられん為に付さるべし、と。
3 At the same time the chief priests and the Jewish elders gathered in the home of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas.
其時司祭長、民間の長老等、カイファと云へる司祭長の庭に集り、
4 [There] they plotted how they could seize Jesus in some deceitful way so that they could have him executed.
詭りてイエズスを捕へて殺さんと謀りしが、
5 But they said, “[We must] not [do it] during the [Passover] festival, because [if we do it then], the people might riot.”
云へらく、祝日には之を為すべからず、恐らくは騒動人民の中に起らん、と。
6 While Jesus [and we] were in Bethany [village] in the home of Simon, whom [Jesus had healed of] leprosy,
然てイエズスベタニアにて、癩病者シモンの家に居給ひけるに、
7 a woman came to him. She [was carrying] a stone jar [containing] very expensive perfume. [To show how much she appreciated] Jesus, she poured the perfume on his head as he was eating.
或女値高き香油を盛りたる器を持ちてイエズスに近づき、食に就き居給へる頭に注ぎしが、
8 When [we] disciples saw that, [some of us] were angry. [One of us] said, “(It is terrible that this perfume was wasted!/Why was this perfume wasted?) [RHQ]
弟子等之を見て憤り、其費は何の為ぞ、
9 [We] could have sold it and gotten a lot of money for it! Then the money could have been given {[we] could have given the money} to poor people.”
是は高く売りて貧者に施すを得たりしものを、と云ひけるを、
10 Jesus knew [what we were saying. So he] said to us, “(You should not be bothering this woman!/Why are you bothering this woman?) [RHQ] She has done a beautiful thing to me.
イエズス知りて彼等に曰ひけるは、何ぞ此女を累はすや、彼は我に善行を為せり。
11 [Keep in mind that] you will always have poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not always be with you, [so it is good for her to show now that she appreciates me!]
蓋貧者は常に汝等と共に居れども、我は常に居らず。
12 When she poured this perfume on my body, [it was as if she knew that I am going to die soon. And it is as if she] has anointed my body for being buried.
此女が此香油を我身に注ぎしは、我を葬らんとて為したるなり。
13 I will tell you this: Wherever this good message [about me] is preached {people preach this good message about me} throughout the world, those who preach it will tell what this woman has done, [and as a result] people will [always] remember her.”
我誠に汝等に告ぐ、全世界何國にもあれ、此福音の宣傳へられん處には、此女の為しし事も、其記念として語らるるべし、と。
14 Then Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), [even though he was] one of [us] twelve [disciples], went to the chief priests.
時に十二人の一人イスカリオテのユダと云へる者、司祭長等の許に往きて、
15 He asked them, “If I enable you to seize [Jesus], how much [money] are you willing to give me?” They [agreed to give him] 30 silver coins. So they counted out the coins and [gave them] to him.
汝等我に何を與へんとするか、我汝等に彼を付さん、と云ひしに、彼等銀三十枚を約せしかば、
16 From that time Judas watched for an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus].
ユダ此時よりイエズスを付さんとして、機を窺ひ居たり。
17 On the first day [of the week-long festival] (when [we Jews ate] bread which had no yeast in it/of Unleavened Bread), [we] disciples went to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to prepare [the meal for] the Passover [celebration] so that [we can] eat [it with] you?”
第五項 最終の晩餐 無酵麪の祝の日、弟子等イエズスに近づきて云ひけるは、我等が汝の為に備ふる過越の食事は何處ならん事を望み給ふか。
18 [In reply], he [gave instructions to two disciples about where they should go. He] said [to them], “Go into [the city] to a man [with whom I have previously arranged this]. Tell him that the teacher says, ‘The time [MTY] [that I told you about] is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover [meal] with my disciples at your house, [and I have sent these two to prepare the meal].’”
イエズス曰ひけるは、汝等街に往き、某の許に至りて、師曰く、我時近づけり、我弟子と共に汝の家に過越を行はんとす、と云へと。
19 So the [two] disciples did as Jesus told them. They [went and] prepared the Passover [meal in that man’s house].
弟子等イエズスに命ぜられし如くにして、過越の備を為せり。
20 When it was evening, Jesus was eating the meal with [us] twelve disciples.
夕暮に及びて、イエズス十二弟子と共に食に就き給ひしが、
21 While we were eating, he said [to us], “Listen carefully to this: One of you is going to enable [my enemies] to seize me.”
彼等の食しつつある程に曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、汝等の中一人我を付さんとす、と。
22 [We] were very sad. We began to say to him, one after the other, “Lord, (it is surely not I!/I’m not the one, am I?) [RHQ]”
彼等甚だ憂ひて、主よ、其は我なるかと、各云出でしに、
23 He replied, “The one who will enable my enemies to seize me is one of you who is dipping bread [MTY] into [the sauce in] the dish along with me.
イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我と共に鉢に手を附くる者我を付さん。
24 [It is certain that] I, the one who came from heaven, will [die], because that is what has been written {[the prophets] have written} about me. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who enables [my enemies] to seize me! It would be better for that man if he had never been born!”
抑人の子は、己に就きて録されたる如く逝くと雖、人の子を付す者は禍なる哉、生れざりしならば、寧彼に取りて善かりしものを、と。
25 Then Judas, the one who was going to betray him, said, “Teacher, (surely it is not I!/I’m not the one, am I?) [RHQ]” Jesus replied, “Yes, you are the one.”
イエズスを売りしユダ答へて、ラビ其は我なるか、と云ひしにイエズス、汝の云へるが如し、と曰へり。
26 While we were eating, Jesus took [a small loaf of] bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to [us] disciples, and said, “Take this [bread and] eat [it]. [It represents] my body.”
一同晩餐しつつあるに、イエズス麪を取り、祝して之を擘き、弟子等に與へて曰ひけるは、汝等取りて食せよ、是我體なりと。
27 Later he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he gave it to us, saying, “Drink some [of the wine in this cup], all of you.
又杯を取りて謝し、彼等に與へて曰ひけるは、汝等皆是より飲め。
28 [The wine in] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body. With] my blood I [will sign] the new agreement [that God is making] to forgive the sins of many [people].
是罪を赦されんとて衆人の為に流さるべき、新約の我血なり。
29 Note this carefully: I will not drink wine in this way any more until the time when I drink it with you with a new [meaning. That will happen] when my Father [enables me to begin] to rule as king.”
我汝等に告ぐ、我父の國にて共に汝等と共に新なるものを飲まん日までは、我今より此葡萄の液を飲まじ、と。
30 After we sang a hymn, we started out towards Olive [Tree] Hill.
斯て賛美歌を誦へ畢り、皆橄欖山に出行きけるに、
31 [On the way], Jesus told us, “This night all of you will desert me because of [what will happen to] me! [This is certain to happen] because [these words that God said] are written [in the Scriptures:] ‘I will [cause] the shepherd to be killed, and [all] the sheep will be scattered {scatter}.’
イエズス曰ひけるは、今夜汝等皆我に就きて躓かん、其は録して「我牧者を撃たん、斯て群の羊散らん」とあればなり。
32 But after I have [died and] become alive again, I will go ahead of you to Galilee [district and meet you there].”
然れど我蘇りて後、汝等に先ちてガリレアに往かん。
33 Peter replied, “Perhaps all [the other disciples] will desert you [when they see what happens to you], but I [certainly] will never [leave you]!”
ペトロ答へて云ひけるは、假令人皆汝に就きて躓くとも、我は何時も躓かじ。
34 Jesus replied to him, “The truth is that this very night, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝に告ぐ、今夜鶏鳴く前に、汝三度我を否まん。
35 Peter said to him, “Even if they kill me [while I am defending you], I will never say that I do not know you!” All [the rest of us] disciples also said the same [thing].
ペトロ云ひけるは、假令汝と共に死すべくとも、我汝を否まじと。弟子等皆同じ様に云へり。
36 Then Jesus went with us to a place that is called {that people call} Gethsemane. There he said to [most of] us, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.”
第六項 ゲッセマニに於るイエズス 斯てイエズス彼等と共にゲッセマニと云へる田家に至り、弟子等に向ひて、我が彼處に往きて祈る間汝等此處に坐せよ、と曰ひ、
37 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He became extremely distressed.
ペテロとゼベデオの二人の子とを携へて、憂悲み出で給へり。
38 Then he said to them, “I [SYN] am very sorrowful, so much so that I [feel as if I were] about to die! Remain here and stay awake with me!”
然て彼等に曰ひけるは、我魂死ぬばかりに憂ふ、汝等此處に留まりて我と共に醒めて在れ、と。
39 After going a little further, he threw himself face down [on the ground]. He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible [MTY], do not make me have to endure the suffering [that is coming] now. But do not do as I want. Instead, do as you want!”
然て少しく進み行き、平伏して祈りつつ曰ひけるは、我父よ、若能ふくば、此杯我より去れかし、然れど我意の儘にとには非ず思召の如くになれ、と。
40 Then he returned to the [three] disciples and saw that they were sleeping. He [woke] Peter and said to him, “(I am disappointed that you [men fell asleep and] were not able to stay awake with me for just a short time!/Why were you men not able to stay awake with me for just one hour?) [RHQ]
斯て弟子等の許に至り、彼等の眠れるを見てペトロに曰ひけるは、斯も汝等、一時間を我と共に醒め居る能はざりしか、
41 You must keep alert and pray so that you can resist when you are tempted {something tempts you}. You want [to do what I tell you], but you [SYN] are not strong enough [to actually do it].”
誘惑に入らざらん為に醒めて祈れ、精神は逸れども肉身は弱し、と。
42 He went away a second time. He prayed, “My Father, if it is necessary for me to suffer [LIT], may what you want happen!”
再行きて祈り曰ひけるは、我父よ、此杯我之を飲まずして去る能はずば、思召成れかし、と。
43 When he returned to the [three disciples], he saw that they were asleep [again]. They could not keep their eyes open [IDM].
又再至りて彼等の眠れるを見給へり、蓋彼等の目疲れたるなり。
44 So he left them and went away again. He prayed the third time, saying the same thing [that he had prayed before].
又彼等を離れて行き、三度目に同じ言を唱へて祈り給ひしが、
45 Then he returned to us disciples. He [woke] us [up and] said to us, “(I am disappointed that you are still sleeping and resting!/Why are you still sleeping and resting?) [RHQ] [Look] Someone is about to enable sinful [men] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!
頓て弟子等に至りて曰ひけるは、今は早眠りて息め、すは時は近づけり、人の子罪人に付されんとす。
46 Get up! Let’s go [to meet them] Here comes the one who is enabling them to seize me!”
起きよ、行かん、看よ、我を付す者近づけり、と。
47 While [Jesus] was still speaking, Judas [arrived. Even though he was] one of [us] twelve [disciples], he came [to enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him]. A large crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They had been sent by the chief priests and elders {the chief priests and [Jewish] elders had sent them}.
第七項 イエズス捕へられ給ふ 尚語り給へるに、折しも十二人の一人なるユダ來り、又司祭長民間の長老等より遣はされた大群衆、剣と棒とを持ちて是に伴へり。
48 Judas had [previously] arranged to give them a signal, saying, “The man whom I will kiss is the one [you want]. Seize him!”
イエズスを売りしもの彼等に合圖を與へて、我が接吻する所の人其なり、彼を捕へよ、と云ひしが、
49 He immediately went to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Teacher!” Then he kissed Jesus [on the neck/cheek].
直にイエズスに近づき、ラビ安かれ、と云ひて接吻せり。
50 Jesus replied, “Friend, is it [to kiss me] that you are here?” (OR, “Do what you have come for!”) Then [the men who came with Judas] stepped forward and seized Jesus.
イエズス彼に曰ひけるは、友よ、何の為に來れるぞ、と。時に人々近づきて、イエズスに手を掛けて之を捕へたり。
51 Suddenly, one of the men who was with Jesus pulled his sword out [of its sheath]. He struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him], [but only] cut off his ear.
折しも、イエズスと共に在りし者の一人、手を伸べて剣を抜き、司祭長の僕を撃ちて其耳を斬落しかば、
52 Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its sheath! All those who try to kill others with a sword will themselves be killed with a sword!
イエズス是に曰ひけるは、汝の剣を鞘に収めよ、其は総て剣を把る者は剣にて亡ぶべければなり。
53 Do you think that [RHQ] if I asked my Father, he would not immediately send more than (twelve armies of/72,000) angels to help me?
我我父に求め得ずと思ふか、父は必直に十二隊にも餘れる天使を我に賜ふべし。
54 [But if I did that, what the prophets] have written in the Scriptures [about what will happen to the Messiah] would not be fulfilled {happen} [RHQ].”
若然らば、斯あるべしと云へる聖書の言、争でか成就せん、と。
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd [that was seizing him], “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] to seize me with swords and clubs, as [if I were] a bandit!/Have you come here to seize me with swords and clubs, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day I sat in the Temple [courtyard], teaching [the people]. Why did you not arrest me [then]?
同時にイエズス群衆に曰ひけるは、汝等強盗に向ふ如く、剣と棒とを持ちて我を捕へに出來りしか、我日々[神]殿にて汝等の中に坐して教へ居りしに、汝等我を捕へざりき。
56 But all this is happening to fulfill what the prophets [have written in] the Scriptures [about me].” Then all of us disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.
然れど、総て此事の成れるは預言者等の書の成就せん為なり、と。此時弟子等皆イエズスを舍きて遁去れり。
57 The men who had seized Jesus took him [to the house where] Caiaphas, the high priest, [lived]. The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the [Jewish] elders had already gathered [there].
第八項 イエズスカイファの家に引かれ給ふ イエズスを捕へたる人々、既に律法學士長老等の相集り居たる、司祭長カイファの家に引行きしが、
58 Peter followed [Jesus] at a distance. He came to the high priest’s courtyard. He entered [the courtyard] and sat down with the guards to see what would happen.
ペトロ遥にイエズスに從ひて司祭長の庭まで至り、事態を見んとて内に入り、僕等と共に坐し居たり。
59 The chief priests and the rest of the [Jewish] Council were trying to find people who would tell lies about Jesus so that they could [convince the Roman authorities to] execute him.
司祭長等と凡ての議員とは、イエズスを死に處せんとて、是に對する僞證を求め、
60 But even though many people spoke lies about him, they did not find anyone [who said anything that was useful]. Finally two men came forward
許多の僞證人來りたれども猶之を得ざりしが、終に二人の僞證人來りて
61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy God’s Temple and to rebuild it within three days.’”
云ひけるは、此人「我は神殿を毀ちて三日の後再之を建直す事を得」と云へり、と。
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to reply? What [do you say about] these things that they are saying [to accuse] you?”
司祭長起ちてイエズスに向ひ、此人々の汝に對して證する所に、汝は何をも答へざるか、と云ひしも、
63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I command you to tell us [the truth], knowing that the all-powerful God [is listening to you]: Are you the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God)?”
イエズス黙し居給へば、司祭長云ひけるは、我活ける神によりて汝に命ず、汝は神の子キリストなるか、我等に告げよ。
64 Jesus replied, “Yes, [it is as] you say. But I will also say this to all of you: Some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting beside [MTY] Almighty [God], and ruling. You will also see me coming on the clouds [from] heaven!”
イエズス曰ひけるは、汝の云へるが如し、然れども我汝等に告ぐ、此後汝等、人の子が全能に坐す神の右に坐して、空の雲に乗り來るを見るべし、と。
65 Then the high priest tore his outer garment. [That was the custom to show that he was shocked to hear Jesus say that he was equal to God]. Then he said, “This man has insulted God! He claims to be equal with God! (We certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against this man]!/Why should we seek any more people who will testify [against this man]?) [RHQ] You heard what he said!
此時、司祭長己が衣服を裂きて云ひけるは、彼冒涜の言を出せり。我等何ぞ尚證人を要せん、汝等今冒涜の言を聞きて
66 What have you decided?” [The Jewish leaders] replied, “[According to our laws], he [is guilty and] deserves to be executed!”
如何に思ふぞ、と。彼等答へて、其罪死に至る、と云へり。
67 Then [some of them] spat in his face. [Others] struck him with their fists. Others, [after they blindfolded him], slapped him
是に於て下役等イエズスの御顔に唾し、拳にて打ち、或者は平手にて御顔を擲きて云ひけるは、
68 and said, “[Since you claim that] [IRO] [you are] the Messiah, tell us who hit you!”
キリストよ、汝を批てる者の誰なるかを我等に預言せよ、と。
69 Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came up to him [and looked at him]. She said, “You also were with Jesus, [that man] from Galilee [district]!”
然てペトロ外にて庭に坐し居たるに、一人の下女是に近づき、汝もガリレアのイエズスと共に居りき、と云ひしかば、
70 But while everyone there was listening, he denied it. He said, “I do not know what you are talking about!”
彼衆人の前にて之を否み、我汝の云ふ所を知らず、と云へり。
71 Then he went out to the gateway of the courtyard. Another servant girl saw him and said to the people who were standing nearby, “This man was with Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
門を出る時、又他の下女之を見て、居合す人々に向ひ、是もナザレトのイエズスと共に居りき、と云ひたるに、
72 But [Peter] again denied it. He said, “May God punish me [if I am lying]! I [tell you], I do not even know that man!”
彼又誓ひて、我彼人を知らず、と否めり。
73 After a little while, one of the people who were standing there approached Peter and said to him, “It is certain that you are one of those [who were with that man]. We can tell from your accent that you [are from Galilee.”]
暫時ありて、側なる人々近づきてペトロに云ひけるは、汝も確に彼等の一人なり、汝の方言までも汝を顕せり、と。
74 Then Peter began to proclaim loudly that God should curse him [if he was lying]. He asked God in heaven to witness [that he was telling the truth] and said, “I do not know that man!” Immediately a rooster crowed.
是に於て彼、其人を知らず、とて詛ひ且誓ひ始めしかば、忽ちにして鶏鳴けり。
75 Then Peter remembered the words that Jesus had spoken [to him], “Before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me.” And Peter went [out of the courtyard], crying because he was very sad [about what he had done].
斯てペトロ、イエズスが鶏鳴く前に汝三度我を否まんと曰ひし言を思出し、外に出でて甚く泣けり。
