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。
MEANTIME myriads of people collecting, so that they trod on one another, he began to speak to his disciples, Take heed principally 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、
For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be laid open; nor hid, which 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 things ye have spoken in darkness, they shall be reported in the light; and what ye have whispered into the ear in the closets, shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.
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。
But I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who may kill the body, but after that, have nothing farther which they can do.
But I will point out to you, whom ye should 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 farthings, yet not one of them is forgotten before 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 even the hairs of your head are all numbered: fear not then, 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。
But I tell you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him will 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 disowns me before men, shall be disowned before 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 utter a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but for him who hath blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, there shall be no forgiveness.
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 shall bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and the ruling powers, be under no anxiety how or what defence ye shall make, 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 Ghost will teach you at 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、
Then spake one of the multitude to him, Master, order my brother to 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 to him, Man, who made me a judge and a divider among 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。
Then said he to them, Beware, and be on your guard against covetousness; for a man’s life doth not depend on the abundance of his possessions.
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 estate of a certain rich man bore 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 thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not room where I may house my crops.
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, I will do this; I will take down my barns, and build them larger, and collect there all my crops, and my good things!
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 a multitude of good things in store for many years, be at ease, eat, drink, and 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 to him, Thou fool! this night shall they demand thy life from 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。
Just such is every one who heapeth up treasure for self, and is not rich towards 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、
Then said he to his disciples, For this reason I tell you, Be under no anxiety about your life, what ye shall eat, nor for your body, how ye shall be clothed.
23 生命は食物に優り、身は衣服に優れり。
The life is more than food, and the body than 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, for they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; yet God feedeth them: how much are ye more excellent 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、
Which of you, with all his anxiety, can add one moment to 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 therefore ye are unable to do the least thing, why are ye anxious about the others?
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。
Observe the lillies how they grow up, they toil not, nor spin; but I tell you, that 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。
If God then so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the furnace; how much more 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、
So then be not ye inquisitive what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor be agitated with restless anxiety.
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 after all these things are the nations of the world seeking; and 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。
But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you over.
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 your Father takes delight in giving 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 all your possessions, and give in charity; make yourselves purses that wax not old, a treasure never failing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor doth the moth destroy.
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 firmly girded round, 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 ye like men, expecting their master, when he shall return from the marriage; that when he comes and knocks, they may instantly open the door for 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 Master, when he cometh, shall find watchful: verily I say unto you, that he will gird up himself, and make them sit down at table, and come and wait upon 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 come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so watchful, 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。
Now this be assured of, that if the master of the family had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered 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。
Therefore be ye also ready, for at an hour that ye think not of, 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、
Then said Peter unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or also for 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 indeed is a faithful steward, and prudent, whom the lord will place over his household, to give them their proportion of provision at the proper 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 employed.
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。
Verily I say unto you, that he will place him over all his property.
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 say in his heart, My master will be a long while ere he comes; and shall begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and to eat and to drink, and to get drunk;
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 master of that servant will come in a day when he doth not expect him, and at an hour which he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and give him 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 master’s will, and made no preparation for him, nor did according to his pleasure, 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 it not, yet did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For of every one to whom much is given, much shall be required from him: and to whom men commit much, they will of him demand abundantly 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 am come to cast fire on the earth, and what is my wish? that it may be now 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 baptised with; and how am I distressed in spirit till it is finished!
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 came to bring peace upon earth? No, I tell you; 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 henceforth five shall be 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。
The father shall take part against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the step-mother against her daughter-in-law, and the son’s wife 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。
Then said he to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye say immediately, There cometh a shower; and it is so.
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 the south wind gently blows, ye say, It will be sultry hot; and so it is.
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 discern by experience from the appearance of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that ye do not discern this particular time?
57 如何ぞ義しき事を自ら見定めざる。
And why even of yourselves do ye not decide what is just?
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 thy prosecutor to the magistrate, on the way endeavour to make up the matter with him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer 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 tell thee, thou mayest in no wise come out from thence, until thou hast paid the very last mite.
