ヨハネの福音書 4
1 第三款 イエズスサマリアを過り給ふ 時にイエズス、己が弟子を造り人を洗する事、ヨハネよりも多き由の、ファリザイ人の耳に入りしを知り給ひしかば、
Now, when the Master heard that the Pharisees had been told that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 ――但洗せるはイエズスに非ずして、其の弟子等なりき――
(Though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who baptized),
3 ユデアを去りて再びガリレアに往き給へり。
he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.
4 然るにサマリアを通らざるを得ざりしければ、
He had to pass through Samaria,
5 ヤコブが其子ヨゼフに與へし土地に近き、サマリアのシカルと云へる町に至り給ひしが、
and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 此處にヤコブの井ありけるに、イエズス旅に疲れて、其儘井の上に坐し給へり、時は十二時頃なりき。
Jacob’s Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about mid-day.
7 爰にサマリアの一人の婦、水汲みに來りしかば、イエズス之に向ひて、我に飲ませよ、と曰へり。
A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”
8 是弟子等は食物を買はんとて町に往きたればなり。
For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 其時サマリアの婦云ひけるは、汝はユデア人なるに、何ぞサマリアの婦なる我に飲物を求むるや、と。是ユデア人はサマリア人と交らざる故なり。
“How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
10 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、汝若神の賜を知り、又我に飲ませよと汝に云へる者の誰なるかを知らば、必ず彼に求め、彼は活ける水を汝に與へしならん。
“If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you ‘living water’.”
11 婦云ひけるは、君よ、汝は汲む物を有たず、井は深し、然るを何處よりして活ける水を有てるぞ。
“You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said; “where did you get that ‘living water?’
12 我等が父ヤコブ此井を我等に與へ、自らも其子等も其家畜も之より飲みしが、汝は彼より優れる者なるか。
Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”
13 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、総て此水を飲む者は復渇くべし、
“All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;
15 婦云ひけるは、君よ、我が渇く事なく此處に汲みにも來らざる様、其水を我に與へよ。
“Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”
16 イエズス曰ひけるは、往きて夫を呼來れ。
“Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”
17 婦答へて、我は夫なし、と云ひしかば、イエズス曰ひけるは、善くこそ夫なしと云ひたれ、
“I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,
18 夫は五人まで有ちたりしに、今あるは汝の夫に非ず、汝が然云ひしは實なり。
“For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”
19 婦云ひけるは、君よ、我観るに、汝は預言者なり。
“I see, Sir, that you are a Prophet!” exclaimed the woman.
20 我等が先祖は此山にて禮拝したるに、汝等は云ふ、禮拝すべき處はエルザレムなりと。
“It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 イエズス曰ひけるは、婦よ、我を信ぜよ、汝等が此山となくエルザレムとなく、父を禮拝せん時來るなり。
“Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.
22 汝等は知らざる者を禮拝し、我等は知りたる者を禮拝す、救はユデア人の中より出づればなり。
You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for Salvation comes from the Jews.
23 然て眞の禮拝者が、霊と實とを以て父を禮拝すべき時來る、今既に其時なり。其は父も、斯く己を禮拝する人を求め給へばなり。
But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.
24 神は霊にて在せば、之を禮拝する人は、霊と實とを以て禮拝せざるべからず、と。
God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”
25 婦イエズスに謂ひけるは、我はメッシア（所謂キリスト）の來るを知る。然れば彼來らば萬事を我等に告ぐべし。
“I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”
26 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、汝と語りつつある我、即ち其なり、と。
“I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”
27 軈て弟子等來り、イエズスの婦と語り給へるを怪しみしかど、誰も何をか求め何故彼と語り給ふ、と云ふ者なかりき。
At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ or ‘Why are you talking with her?’
28 斯て婦、其水瓶を遺して町に往き、其處なる人々に向ひ、
So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people:
29 來て見よ、我が為しし事を殘らず我に云ひたる人を、是はキリストならんか、と云ひしかば、
“Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”
30 彼等町より出でてイエズスの許に來れり。
And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.
31 其隙に弟子等イエズスに請ひて、ラビ食し給へ、と云ひしに、
Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him: “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”
32 曰ひけるは、我には汝等の知らざる食物の食すべきあり、と。
“I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”
33 弟子等、誰か食物を持來りしぞ、と云ひ合へるを、
“Can any one have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.
34 イエズス曰ひけるは、我が食物は、我を遣はし給ひし者の御旨を行ひて其業を全うする事是なり。
“My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 汝等は、尚四箇月の間あり、其後収穫の時來る、と云ふに非ずや。我汝等に告ぐ、目を翹げて田畑を見よ、最早穫取るべく白みたり。
Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!
Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for Immortal Life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 諺に一人は撒き一人は穫ると云へる事、是に於て乎實なり。
For here the proverb holds good — ‘One sows, another reaps.’
38 我汝等を遣はして、勞作せざりし物を穫らしめたり。即ち他の人前に勞作して、其勞作したる所を、汝等が承継ぎたるなり、と。
I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labour; others have laboured, and you have entered upon the results of their labour.”
39 然て彼町にては、彼人我が為しし事を殘らず我に告げたり、と證したる婦の言によりて、多くのサマリア人イエズスを信ぜしかば、
Many from that town came to believe in Jesus — Samaritans though they were — on account of the woman’s statement — ‘He has told me everything that I have done.’
40 人々御許に來りて、此處に留り給はんことを請へり、然れば此處に留り給ふ事二日にして、
And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 尚多くの人御言によりて之を信仰せり。
But far more came to believe in him on account of what he said himself,
42 斯て彼婦に向ひ、我等は最早汝の語る所によりて信ずる者に非ず、即ち自ら彼に聴きて、其眞に救世主たる事を知れり、と云ひ居たり。
and they said to the woman: “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Saviour of the world.”
43 第四款 イエズスガリレアに至り給ふ 然るに二日の後、イエズス其處を出でてガリレアに往き給へり。
After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;
44 預言者其本國に尊ばれず、と自ら證し給ひしが、
for he himself declared that ‘a Prophet is not honoured in his own country.’
45 ガリレアに至り給ひしに、ガリレア人は、曾て祭日にエルザレムにて行ひ給ひし一切の事を見たりければ、イエズスを歓迎せり、其は彼等も祭日に往きてありしなり。
When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.
46 斯てイエズス再び、嚮に水を酒に化し給ひしガリレアのカナに至り給ひしに、一人の王官あり、其子カファルナウムにて病み居ければ、
So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the King’s officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.
47 イエズスユデアよりガリレアに來給ふと聞きて、御許に至り、下りて己が子を醫し給はん事を切に願ひ居たり、彼将に死なんとすればなり。
When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、汝等は徴と奇蹟とを見ざれば信ぜず、と。
Jesus answered: “Unless you all see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 官人イエズスに向ひて、主よ、我子の死なざる前に下り來給へ、と云ひしに、
“Sir,” said the officer, “come down before my child dies.” And Jesus answered: “Go, your son is living.”
50 イエズス、往け、汝の子活く、と曰ひしかば、此人イエズスの己に曰ひし御言を信じて往きたり。
The man believed what Jesus said to him, and went;
51 然て下る途に、僕等行逢ひて、其子の活きたる由を告げければ、
and, while he was on his way down, his servants met him, and told him that his child was living.
52 其回復せし時刻を問ひしに、彼等、昨日の午後一時に熱去れり、と云ふにぞ、
So he asked them at what time the boy began to get better. “It was yesterday, about one o’clock,” they said, “that the fever left him.”
53 父は恰もイエズスが汝の子活くと己に曰ひしと同時なりしを知り、其身も一家も挙りて信仰せり。
By this the father knew that it was at the very time when Jesus had said to him ‘Your son is living’; and he himself, with all his household, believed in Jesus.
54 此第二の奇蹟は、イエズスユデアよりガリレアに至り給ひし時に行ひ給ひしなり。
This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.
