ルカの福音書 15
1 さて，徴税人たちや罪人たちがみな，彼の話を聞こうとして近づいて来た。
Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
2 ファリサイ人と律法学者たちはつぶやいて言った，「この人は，罪人たちを歓迎して一緒に食事をする」。
The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
3 彼は彼らに次のたとえを話した。
So Jesus told them this parable:
4 「あなた方のうちのだれが，百匹の羊がいて，そのうちの一匹を失ってしまったなら，九十九匹を荒野に残しておいて，失われた一匹を，それが見つかるまで探しに行かないだろうか。
“Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
5 それを見つけると，喜びながらそれを自分の肩に載せる。
When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
6 家に帰ると，自分の友人たちや隣人たちを呼び寄せて，彼らに言うのだ，『わたしと一緒に喜んでくれ。失われていたわたしの羊を見つけたからだ！』
When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
7 あなた方に告げるが，悔い改める一人の罪人については，悔い改める必要のない九十九人の義人たち以上の喜びが天にあるだろう。
I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
8 あるいは，どの女が，十枚のドラクマ硬貨を持っていて，一枚のドラクマ硬貨を失ったなら，ともし火をつけ，家を掃き，それが見つかるまで念入りに探さないだろうか。
Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
9 それを見つけると，自分の友人たちや隣人たちを呼び集め，こう言うのだ，『わたしと一緒に喜んでください。失っていたドラクマを見つけたからです』。
When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 そのゆえにも，あなた方に告げる。悔い改める一人の罪人については，神のみ使いたちの面前で喜びがあるのだ」 。
I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
11 彼は言った，「ある人に二人の息子がいた。
Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 そのうちの年下のほうが父親に言った，『お父さん，財産のうちわたしの取り分を下さい』。父親は自分の資産を二人に分けてやった。
One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
13 何日もしないうちに，年下の息子はすべてを取りまとめて遠い地方に旅立った。彼はそこで羽目を外した生活をして自分の財産を浪費した。
A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
14 すべてを使い果たした時，その地方にひどいききんが起こって，彼は困窮し始めた。
After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
15 彼はその地方の住民たちの一人のところに行って身を寄せたが，その人は彼を自分の畑に送って豚の世話をさせた。
So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
16 彼は，豚たちの食べている豆のさやで腹を満たしたいと思ったが，彼に何かをくれる者はいなかった。
[Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
17 だが，我に返った時，彼は言った，『父のところでは，あれほど大勢の雇い人たちにあり余るほどのパンがあるのに，わたしは飢えて死にそうだ！
Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
18 立ち上がって，父のところに行き，こう言おう，「お父さん，わたしは天に対しても，あなたの前でも罪を犯しました。
So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
19 わたしはもはやあなたの息子と呼ばれるには値しません。あなたの雇い人の一人のようにしてください」』。
I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
20 「彼は立って，自分の父親のところに帰って来た。だが，彼がまだ遠くにいる間に，彼の父親は彼を見て，哀れみに動かされ，走り寄って，その首を抱き，彼に口づけした。
So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
21 息子は父親に言った，『お父さん，わたしは天に対しても，あなたの前でも罪を犯しました。わたしはもはやあなたの息子と呼ばれるには値しません』。
His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
22 「だが，父親は召使いたちに言った，『最上の衣を持って来て，彼に着せなさい。手に指輪をはめ，足に履物をはかせなさい。
But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
23 肥えた子牛を連れて来て，それをほふりなさい。そして，食べて，お祝いをしよう。
Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
24 このわたしの息子が，死んでいたのに生き返ったからだ。失われていたのに，見つかったのだ』。彼らは祝い始めた。
because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
25 「さて，年上の息子は畑にいた。家のそばに来ると，音楽や踊りの音が聞こえた。
While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
26 召使いたちの一人を呼び寄せ，どうしたのかと尋ねた。
He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
27 召使いは彼に言った，『あなたの弟さんが来られたのです。それで，あなたのお父様は，弟さんを無事に健康な姿で迎えたというので，肥えた子牛をほふられたのです』。
The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
28 ところが，彼は腹を立て，中に入ろうとしなかった。そのため，彼の父親が出て来て，彼に懇願した。
[But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
29 だが，彼は父親に答えた，『ご覧なさい，わたしはこれほど長い年月あなたに仕えてきて，一度もあなたのおきてに背いたことはありません。それでも，わたしには，わたしの友人たちと一緒に祝うために，ヤギ一匹さえ下さったことがありません。
But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
30 それなのに，あなたの財産を売春婦たちと一緒に食いつぶした，このあなたの息子がやって来ると，あなたは彼のために肥えた子牛をほふられました』。
But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
31 「父親は彼に言った，『息子よ，お前はいつもわたしと一緒にいるし，わたしのものは全部お前のものだ。
But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
32 だが，このことは祝って喜ぶのにふさわしい。このお前の弟が，死んでいたのに生き返ったからだ。失われていたのに，見つかったのだ』」 。
But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
