ルカの福音書 13
1 恰も其時人ありて、ピラトが數人のガリレア人の血を彼等の犠牲に混へし事を告げしかば、
Now at that time there were some present who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Herod had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、汝等は、彼ガリレア人が斯る目に遇ひたればとて、凡てのガリレア人に優りて罪深かりしと思ふか。
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Do you suppose that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 我汝等に告ぐ、然らず、然れど改心せずば、汝等も皆同じく亡ぶべし。
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!
4 又シロエに於て倒れたる塔の為に壓殺されし彼十八人も、エルザレムに住める凡ての人に優りて負債ありしと思ふか。
Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them; do you suppose they were worse offenders than all others living in Jerusalem?
5 我汝等に告ぐ、然らず、然れど若改心せずば汝等も皆同じく亡ぶべし、と。
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!”
6 イエズス又喩を語り給ひけるは、或人其葡萄畑に無花果樹を植ゑたりしが、來りて其果を求めたれど得ざりしかば、
Then He told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7 葡萄畑の小作人に云ひけるは、我來りて此無花果樹に果を求むれど得ざる事已に三年なり、然れば之を伐倒せ、何ぞ徒に地を塞ぐや、と。
So he said to the gardener: ‘Look, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down; just why must it waste the soil?’
8 小作人答へて、主よ、今年も之を容し給へ。我其周圍を堀りて肥料を施しなば、
But in answer he said to him, ‘Sir, let it be this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer,
9 或は果を結ぶ事もあらん、若し無くば其後伐倒し給ふべし、と云へり、と。
in case it produces fruit—but if not, then cut it down.’”
10 安息日に當りて、イエズス彼等の會堂にて教へ給ひけるに、
Now as Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
11 折しも十八年以來癈疾の鬼に憑かれ、屈まりて少しも仰ぎ見ること能はざる女あり。
He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up.
12 イエズス見て之を呼近づけ給ひ、女よ、汝は其癈疾より救はれたるぞ、と曰ひて之に按手し給ひしかば、
So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!”
13 女直に伸びて神に光榮を歸し居たり。
He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.
14 然るに會堂の司、イエズスの安息日に醫し給ひしを憤り、答へて群衆に向ひ、働くべき日六日あり、然れば其間に來りて醫されよ、安息日には為すべからず、と云ひければ、
But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 主答へて曰ひけるは、僞善者等よ、汝等各安息日に當りて、己が牛或は驢馬を、芻槽より解放ちて、水飼ひに牽行くに非ずや。
So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?
16 然るを此十八年間サタンに繋がれたる、アブラハムの女は、其繋を安息日に解かるべからざりしか、と。
So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 イエズス此事等を曰ひけるに、反對せる者等皆赤面し、人民挙りて、イエズスの手に成さるる光榮ある凡ての事を喜び居たり。
When He said these things all His adversaries were put to shame, while all the crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
18 乃ち曰ひけるは、神の國は何にか似たる、我之を何にか擬へん、
Then He said: “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
19 恰も一粒の芥種の如し、人之を取りて其畑に播きたれば、長ちて大木と成り、空の鳥其枝に息めり、と。
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a sizable tree, and the birds of the air perched on its branches.”
20 又曰ひけるは、我神の國を何にか擬へん、
Again He said: “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 恰も麪酵の如し、女之を取りて三斗の粉の中に蔵せば、終に悉く膨るるに至る、と。
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 第二項 旅行中の他の事實 斯てイエズス、町村を教へつつ過ぎてエルザレムへ旅し給ふに、
He was traveling through various towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 或人、主よ、救はるる者は少きか、と云ひしかば、人々に曰ひけるは、
Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are the ones being saved few?” So He said to them:
24 狭き門より入る事を努めよ、蓋我汝等に告ぐ、多くの人入る事を求むべけれども、而も能はざるべし。
“Exert yourselves to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will try to enter and not manage it.
25 家父既に入りて門を閉ぢたらん時には、汝等外に立ちて、主よ、我等に開き給へ、と云ひつつ門を叩き始むべけれど、彼答へて、我汝等が何處の者なるかを知らず、と云はん。
When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ and in answer he will say to you, ‘I do not know you; where are you from?’
26 汝等其時、我等は汝の御前にて飲食し、汝は我等の衢にて教へ給ひしなり、と云はんとすべし。
then you will begin by saying, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 然れども彼汝等に向ひ、我汝等が何處の者なるかを知らず、惡を為す輩よ、悉く我より去れ、と云はん。
But he will say: ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 斯て汝等、アブラハム、イザアク、ヤコブ及び一切の預言者は神の國に在りながら、己等のみ逐出さるるを見ば、其處に痛哭と切歯とあらん。
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves being thrown out.
29 又東西南北より來りて、神の國の席に着く人々あらん。
They will even come from the east, the west, the north and the south, and recline in the Kingdom of God.
30 斯て看よ、後なる人は先になり、先なる人は後にならん、と。
Yes indeed, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
31 同じ日に、ファリザイ人數人近づきてイエズスに向ひ、ヘロデ汝を殺さんとす、出でて此處を去れ、と云ひしかば、
On that same day some Pharisees approached saying to Him, “Get out of here and go away, because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 彼等に向ひて曰ひけるは、往きて彼狐に告げよ、看よ、今日も明日も、我惡魔を逐払ひ、人々を醫し、而して三日目に我事畢るべし、
He said to them: “Go tell that ‘fox’, ‘Take note, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third I will be perfected.’
33 然れども、今日も明日も其次の日も、我は歩まざる可らず、其はエルザレムの外に斃るるは、預言者たる者に取りて相應しからざればなり、と。
Nevertheless I must keep going today and tomorrow and the day following, because it is not credible that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem!
34 エルザレムよ、エルザレムよ、預言者等を殺し、汝に遣はされたる人々に石を擲つ者よ、恰も鳥が巣雛を翼の下に[集むる]如く、我が汝の子等を集めんとせし事幾度ぞや、然れど汝之を肯ぜざりき。
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 看よ、汝等の家は荒廃れて汝等に遺らん、我汝等に告ぐ、主の御名によりて來るもの祝せられよかし、と汝等の唱へん時至るまで、汝等我を見る事なかるべし、と。
So then, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you that you will definitely not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
