Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
イエスが山をお降りになると、おびただしい群衆がついてきた。
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
すると、そのとき、ひとりのらい病人がイエスのところにきて、ひれ伏して言った、「主よ、みこころでしたら、きよめていただけるのですが」。
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
イエスは手を伸ばして、彼にさわり、「そうしてあげよう、きよくなれ」と言われた。すると、らい病は直ちにきよめられた。
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
イエスは彼に言われた、「だれにも話さないように、注意しなさい。ただ行って、自分のからだを祭司に見せ、それから、モーセが命じた供え物をささげて、人々に証明しなさい」。
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
さて、イエスがカペナウムに帰ってこられたとき、ある百卒長がみもとにきて訴えて言った、
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
「主よ、わたしの僕が中風でひどく苦しんで、家に寝ています」。
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
イエスは彼に、「わたしが行ってなおしてあげよう」と言われた。
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
そこで百卒長は答えて言った、「主よ、わたしの屋根の下にあなたをお入れする資格は、わたしにはございません。ただ、お言葉を下さい。そうすれば僕はなおります。
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
わたしも権威の下にある者ですが、わたしの下にも兵卒がいまして、ひとりの者に『行け』と言えば行き、ほかの者に『こい』と言えばきますし、また、僕に『これをせよ』と言えば、してくれるのです」。
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
イエスはこれを聞いて非常に感心され、ついてきた人々に言われた、「よく聞きなさい。イスラエル人の中にも、これほどの信仰を見たことがない。
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
なお、あなたがたに言うが、多くの人が東から西からきて、天国で、アブラハム、イサク、ヤコブと共に宴会の席につくが、
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
この国の子らは外のやみに追い出され、そこで泣き叫んだり、歯がみをしたりするであろう」。
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
それからイエスは百卒長に「行け、あなたの信じたとおりになるように」と言われた。すると、ちょうどその時に、僕はいやされた。
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
それから、イエスはペテロの家にはいって行かれ、そのしゅうとめが熱病で、床についているのをごらんになった。
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
そこで、その手にさわられると、熱が引いた。そして女は起きあがってイエスをもてなした。
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
夕暮になると、人々は悪霊につかれた者を大ぜい、みもとに連れてきたので、イエスはみ言葉をもって霊どもを追い出し、病人をことごとくおいやしになった。
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
これは、預言者イザヤによって「彼は、わたしたちのわずらいを身に受け、わたしたちの病を負うた」と言われた言葉が成就するためである。
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
イエスは、群衆が自分のまわりに群がっているのを見て、向こう岸に行くようにと弟子たちにお命じになった。
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
するとひとりの律法学者が近づいてきて言った、「先生、あなたがおいでになる所なら、どこへでも従ってまいります」。
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
イエスはその人に言われた、「きつねには穴があり、空の鳥には巣がある。しかし、人の子にはまくらする所がない」。
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
また弟子のひとりが言った、「主よ、まず、父を葬りに行かせて下さい」。
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
イエスは彼に言われた、「わたしに従ってきなさい。そして、その死人を葬ることは、死人に任せておくがよい」。
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
それから、イエスが舟に乗り込まれると、弟子たちも従った。
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
すると突然、海上に激しい暴風が起って、舟は波にのまれそうになった。ところが、イエスは眠っておられた。
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
そこで弟子たちはみそばに寄ってきてイエスを起し、「主よ、お助けください、わたしたちは死にそうです」と言った。
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
するとイエスは彼らに言われた、「なぜこわがるのか、信仰の薄い者たちよ」。それから起きあがって、風と海とをおしかりになると、大なぎになった。
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
彼らは驚いて言った、「このかたはどういう人なのだろう。風も海も従わせるとは」。
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
それから、向こう岸、ガダラ人の地に着かれると、悪霊につかれたふたりの者が、墓場から出てきてイエスに出会った。彼らは手に負えない乱暴者で、だれもその辺の道を通ることができないほどであった。
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
すると突然、彼らは叫んで言った、「神の子よ、あなたはわたしどもとなんの係わりがあるのです。まだその時ではないのに、ここにきて、わたしどもを苦しめるのですか」。
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
さて、そこからはるか離れた所に、おびただしい豚の群れが飼ってあった。
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
悪霊どもはイエスに願って言った、「もしわたしどもを追い出されるのなら、あの豚の群れの中につかわして下さい」。
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
そこで、イエスが「行け」と言われると、彼らは出て行って、豚の中へはいり込んだ。すると、その群れ全体が、がけから海へなだれを打って駆け下り、水の中で死んでしまった。
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
飼う者たちは逃げて町に行き、悪霊につかれた者たちのことなど、いっさいを知らせた。
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
すると、町中の者がイエスに会いに出てきた。そして、イエスに会うと、この地方から去ってくださるようにと頼んだ。
