ルカの福音書 12
1 其時夥しき群衆、周圍に立ち居て踏合ふ計なるに、イエズス弟子等に語出で給ひけるは、ファリザイ人等の麪酵に用心せよ、是僞善なり。
In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 蔽はれたる事に顕れざるべきはなく、隠れたる事に知れざるべきはなし、
But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
3 其は汝等の暗黒にて言ひし事は光明に言はれ、室内にて囁きし事は屋根にて宣べらるべければなり。
Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 然れば我わが友たる汝等に告ぐ、肉體を殺して其後に何をも為し得ざる者を懼るること勿れ。
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 五羽の雀は四銭にて売るに非ずや、然るに其一羽も、神の御前に忘れらるる事なし。
Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 汝等の髪毛すら皆算へられたり、故に懼るること勿れ、汝等は多くの雀に優れり。
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 我汝等に告ぐ、総て人々の前にて我を宣言する者は、人の子も亦神の使等の前にて之を宣言せん。
And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 然れど人々の前にて我を否む者は、神の使等の前にて否まるべし。
but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
10 又総て人の子を譏る人は赦されん、然れど聖霊に對して冒涜したる人は赦されじ。
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
11 人々汝等を會堂に、或は官吏、権力者の前に引かん時、如何に又は何を答へ、又は何を言はんかと思煩ふこと勿れ、
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 言ふべき事は、其時に當りて、聖霊汝等に教へ給ふべければなり、と。
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
13 斯て群衆の中より、或人イエズスに向ひ、師よ、我兄弟に命じて、家督を我と共に分たしめ給へ、と云ひしかば、
And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.
14 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、人よ、汝等の上の判事又は分配者として、誰か我を定めしぞ、と。
But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 斯て人々に曰ひけるは、慎みて凡ての貪欲に用心せよ、其は人の生命は所有物の豊なるに因らざればなり、と。
And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 又彼等に喩を語りて曰ひけるは、或富者の畑豊かに實りければ、
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 其人心の中に考へけるは、我産物を積むべき處なきを如何にせんと。
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?
18 遂に謂へらく、我は斯為べし、即ち我倉を毀ち、更に大いなる物を建てて、其處に我産物と財貨とを積まん、
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.
19 而して我魂に向ひ、魂よ、多年の用意に蓄へたる財産數多あれば、心を安んじ、飲食して樂しめ、と言はん、と。
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 然れど神は彼に曰はく、愚者よ、汝の魂は今夜呼還されんとす、然らば備へたる物は誰が物と為るべきぞ、と。
But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
21 己の為に寳を積みて、神の御前に富まざる人は斯の如き者なり、と。
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 又弟子等に曰ひけるは、然れば我汝等に告ぐ、生命の為に何をか食ひ身の為に何をか着ん、と思煩ふこと勿れ、
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for [your] life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 生命は食物に優り、身は衣服に優れり。
For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment.
24 烏を鑑みよ、播く事なく刈る事なく、倉をも納屋をも有たざれども、神は之を養ひ給ふなり、汝等烏に優ること幾何ぞや。
Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
25 汝等の中誰か工夫して己が寿命に一肘だも加ふることを得んや、
And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?
26 然れば斯く最小き事すらも能はざるに、何ぞ其他の事を思煩ふや。
If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?
27 百合の如何に長つかを鑑みよ。働く事なく紡ぐ事なし、然れども我汝等に言う、サロモンだも其榮華の極に於て、彼百合の一ほどに粧はざりき。
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 今日野に在りて明日炉に投入れらるる草をさへ、神は斯く粧はせ給へば、况や汝等をや、信仰薄き者等哉。
But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [shall he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
29 汝等も、何をか食ひ何をか飲まんと求むること勿れ、又大望を起すこと勿れ、
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 蓋世の異邦人は、此一切の物を求むれども、汝等の父は汝等の之を要することを知り給へばなり。
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 然れば先神の國と、其義とを求めよ、然らば此一切の物は汝等に加へらるべし。
Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you.
32 小き群よ、懼るること勿れ、汝等に國を賜ふ事は、汝等の父の御意に適ひたればなり。
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 汝等の所有物を売りて施を行へ、己の為に古びざる金嚢を造り、匱きざる寳を天に蓄へよ、彼處には盗人も近づかず、蠹も壊はざるなり。
Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth.
34 是汝等の寳の在る處には、心も亦在るべければなり。
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 汝等腰に帯して手に燈あるべし。
Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
36 又恰も、主人婚莚より還來りて門を叩かば直に開かん、と待受くる人の如くに為よ。
and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
37 主人の來る時に醒めたるを見らるる僕等は福なり、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、主人自ら帯して此僕等を食に就かせ、通ひて彼等に給仕せん。
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
38 主人十二時までに來るも三時までに來るも、僕等の斯の如きを見ば、彼等は福なり。
And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find [them] so, blessed are those [servants].
39 汝等知るべし、家父若盗人の來るべき時を知らば必ず警戒して其家を穿たしめじ。
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through.
40 汝等も亦用意してあれ、人の子は汝等の思はざる時に來るべければなり、と。
Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
41 ペトロ、イエズスに向ひ、主よ、此喩を曰ふは、我等の為にか、凡ての人の為にもか、と云ひしかば、
And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?
42 主曰ひけるは、時に應じて家族に麦を程よく分與へしめんとて、戸主が其家族の上に立つる、忠義にして敏き執事は誰なるか、
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 主人の來る時に斯く行へるを見らるる僕は福なり。
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 我誠に汝等に告ぐ、主人は己が有てる一切の物を之に掌らしめん。
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
45 もし彼僕心の中に、我主人の來る事遅しと謂ひて、下男、下女を打擲き、飲食して酔始めんか、
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 期せざる日、知らざる時に、彼僕の主人來りて之を罰し、其報を不忠者と同じくせん。
the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 又其主人の意を知りて用意せず、主人の意に從ひて行はざる僕は、鞭たるる事多からん。
And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
48 然れども、知らずして鞭たるべき事を為したる者は、打たるる事少かるべし、総て多く與へられたる人は多く求められ、委托したる事多ければ催促する事も多かるべし。
but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.
49 我は地上に火を放たんとて來れり、其燃ゆる外には何をか望まん。
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
50 然るに我には我が受くべき洗禮あり、其が為遂げらるるまで、我が思逼れる事如何許ぞや。
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 汝等は、我地上に平和を持來れりと思ふか、我汝等に告ぐ、否却つて分離なり。
Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 蓋今より後、一家に五人あらば、三人は二人に、二人は三人に對して分れん、
for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 即ち父は子に、子は父に、母は女に、女は母に、姑は嫁に、嫁は姑に對して分るる事あらん、と。
They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 イエズス又群衆に曰ひけるは、汝等西より雲起るを見れば直に雨來らんと謂ふ、既にして果して然り。
And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass.
55 又南風吹くを見れば暑くなるべしと謂ふ、既にして果して然り。
And when [ye see] a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 僞善者よ、汝等は天地の有様を見分くる事を知れるに、如何ぞ今の時を見分けざる、
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?
57 如何ぞ義しき事を自ら見定めざる。
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 汝等敵手と共に官吏の許に往く時、途中にて彼に赦されん事を力めよ。恐らくは汝を判事の許に引き、判事は下役に付し、下役は監獄に入れん、
For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison.
59 我汝に告ぐ、最終の一厘までも還さざる中は、汝其處を出でざるべし、と。
I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite.
