ルカの福音書 16
1 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、
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
2 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」
And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
3 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。
And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
4 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、
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 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」
Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
6 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」
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 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」
Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 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。
He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
11 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。
If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
12 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。
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
13 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』
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 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。
Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 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。
And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
16 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。
The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
17 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。
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
18 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。
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 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。
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 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、
And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
21 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。
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
22 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、
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried,
in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom: (Hadēs g86)
24 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」
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, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
25 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。
And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
26 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」
And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
27 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。
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
28 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」
That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
29 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」
And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 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」
But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
31 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」』
And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
