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、
Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of 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。
“Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
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。
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
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 men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of 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。
No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
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、
And Jesus told them this parable — “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
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 his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob 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、
‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘till I have dug round it and manured it.
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。
Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut 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、
Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the Synagogues,
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。
and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
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、
When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
13 女直に伸びて神に光榮を歸し居たり。
He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise 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 President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, 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。
“You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
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。
But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
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。
As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
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、
So Jesus said: “What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what can I liken 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 put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and ‘the wild birds roosted in its branches.’”
20 又曰ひけるは、我神の國を何にか擬へん、
And again Jesus said: “To what can I liken 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 some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
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、
Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards 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、
“Master,” some one asked, “are there but few in the path of Salvation?” And Jesus answered:
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。
“Strive to go in by the small door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
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 has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be — ‘I do not know where you come 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 to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be —
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。
‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
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, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
29 又東西南北より來りて、神の國の席に着く人々あらん。
People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet 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。
there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then 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、
Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: “Go away and leave this place, for 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、
But Jesus answered: “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and shall be completing cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall have done.’
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。
But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside 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 slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her — Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
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。
Verily your House is left to you desolate! and never, I tell you, shall you see me, until you say — ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
