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 great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,
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、
which shall not be discovered; nor hidden 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。
Therefore whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in 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。
Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
But I will shew 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 assaries, and 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。
Nay the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Be not therefore afraid; ye are of more worth 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 say unto you, Whosoever shall own me before men, the Son of man will also own him 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 disowneth 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 whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth 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 magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to 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 at that very time 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 among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,
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。
Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?
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, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in 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 to 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? for I have not room to lay up my corn.
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 I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products 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 plenty of goods laid up for many years, take thine 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 unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
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 heapeth up treasure for himself, 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、
And He said to his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:
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: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?
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 all his thought 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 then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so anxious about 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: and yet I tell you, that 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。
Now if God so clothe the grass which is to day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, how much more will 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 ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; neither be ye in careful suspense:
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 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。
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God, and all these shall be super-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 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 what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief approacheth nor moth corrupteth:
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 girt, and your lights burning, and
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。
ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.
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。
Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will 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 come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, happy indeed 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。
And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:
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 the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.
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, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?
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 is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure 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。
Happy 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。
Verily I tell 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 say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, 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 will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint 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 did not prepare himself to do 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 it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand 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 am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were 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。
for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am 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。
Do ye think that I am come to give peace on 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 from this time there shall be five in one family 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 will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the 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。
He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:
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 observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be 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 discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
57 如何ぞ義しき事を自ら見定めざる。
and why do ye not even of yourselves judge 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、
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, endeavour while thou art in the way to be discharged, least he force thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer carry thee to 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 shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
