ルカの福音書 5
1 群衆おし迫りて神の言を聽きをる時、イエス、ゲネサレの湖のほとりに立ちて、
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 渚に二 艘の舟の寄せあるを見たまふ、漁人は舟をいでて網を洗ひ居たり。
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 イエスその一艘なるシモンの舟に乘り、彼に請ひて陸より少しく押し出さしめ、坐して舟の中より群衆を教へたまふ。
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 語り終へてシモンに言ひたまふ『深處に乘りいだし、網を下して漁れ』
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 シモン答へて言ふ『君よ、われら終夜 勞したるに、何をも得ざりき、されど御言に隨ひて網を下さん』
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 かくて然せしに、魚の夥多しき群を圍みて、網 裂けかかりたれば、
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 他の一艘の舟にをる組の者を差招きて來り助けしむ。來りて魚を二 艘の舟に滿したれば、舟 沈まんばかりになりぬ。
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 シモン・ペテロ之を見て、イエスの膝 下に平伏して言ふ『主よ、我を去りたまへ。我は罪ある者なり』
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 これはシモンも偕に居る者もみな、漁りし魚の夥多しきに驚きたるなり。
10 ゼベダイの子にしてシモンの侶なるヤコブもヨハネも同じく驚けり。イエス、シモンに言ひたまふ『懼るな、なんぢ今よりのち人を漁らん』
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 かれら舟を陸につけ、一切を棄ててイエスに從へり。
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 イエス或 町に居給ふとき、視よ、全身 癩病をわづらふ者あり。イエスを見て平伏し、願ひて言ふ『主よ、御意ならば、我を潔くなし給ふを得ん』
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 イエス手をのべ彼につけて『わが意なり、潔くなれ』と言ひ給へば、直ちに癩病されり。
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 イエス之を誰にも語らぬやうに命じ、かつ言ひ給ふ『ただ往きて己を祭司に見せ、モーセが命じたるごとく汝の潔のために献物して、人々に證せよ』
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 されど彌 増々イエスの事ひろまりて、大なる群衆、あるひは教を聽かんとし、或は病を醫されんとして集り來りしが、
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 イエス寂しき處に退きて祈り給ふ。
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 或 日イエス教をなし給ふとき、ガリラヤの村々、ユダヤ及びエルサレムより來りしパリサイ人、教法 學者ら、そこに坐しゐたり。病を醫すべき主の能力イエスと偕にありき。
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 視よ、人々、中風を病める者を、床にのせて擔ひきたり、之を家に入れて、イエスの前に置かんとすれど、
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 群衆によりて擔ひ入るべき道を得ざれば、屋根にのぼり、瓦を取り除けて、床のまま人々の中に、イエスの前につり縋り下せり。
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 イエス彼らの信仰を見て言ひたまふ『人よ、汝の罪ゆるされたり』
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 ここに學者・パリサイ人ら論じ出でて言ふ『瀆言をいふ此の人は誰ぞ、神より他に誰か罪を赦すことを得べき』
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 イエス彼らの論ずる事をさとり、答へて言ひ給ふ『なにを心のうちに論ずるか。
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 「なんぢの罪ゆるされたり」と言ふと「起きて歩め」と言ふと孰か易き、
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 人の子の地にて罪をゆるす權威あることを汝らに知らせん爲に』――中風を病める者に言ひ給ふ――『なんぢに告ぐ、起きよ、床をとりて家に往け』
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 かれ立刻に人々の前にて起きあがり、臥しゐたる床をとりあげ、神を崇めつつ己が家に歸りたり。
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 人々みな甚く驚きて神をあがめ懼に滿ちて言ふ『今日われら珍しき事を見たり』
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 この事の後イエス出でて、レビといふ取税人の收税所に坐しをるを見て『われに從へ』と言ひ給へば、
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 一切を棄ておき、起ちて從へり。
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 レビ己が家にて、イエスの爲に大なる饗宴を設けしに、取税人および他の人々も多く食事の席に列りゐたれば、
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 パリサイ人および其の曹輩の學者ら、イエスの弟子たちに向ひ、呟きて言ふ『なにゆゑ汝らは取税人・罪人らと共に飮食するか』
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 イエス答へて言ひたまふ『健康なる者は醫者を要せず、ただ病ある者これを要す。
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 我は正しき者を招かんとにあらで、罪人を招きて悔改めさせんとて來れり』
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 彼らイエスに言ふ『ヨハネの弟子たちは、しばしば斷食し祈祷し、パリサイ人の弟子たちも亦 然するに、汝の弟子たちは飮食するなり』
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 イエス言ひたまふ『新郎の友だち新郎と偕にをるうちは、彼らに斷食せしめ得んや。
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 されど日 來りて新郎をとられん、その日には斷食せん』
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 イエスまた譬を言ひ給ふ『たれも新しき衣を切り取りて、舊き衣を繕ふ者はあらじ。もし然せば、新しきものも破れ、かつ新しきものより取りたる裂も舊きものに合はじ。
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 誰も新しき葡萄酒を、ふるき革嚢に入るることは爲じ。もし然せば、葡萄酒は嚢をはりさき漏れ出でて、嚢も廢らん。
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 新しき葡萄酒は、新しき革嚢に入るべきなり。
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 誰も舊き葡萄酒を飮みてのち、新しき葡萄酒を望む者はあらじ。「舊きは善し」と云へばなり』
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
