ルカの福音書 16
1 イエズス又弟子等に曰ひけるは、或富豪に一人の家令ありしが、主人の財産を浪費せりとて、訟出でられしかば、
And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, —There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.
2 主人彼を召び、我が汝に就きて聞く所は是何事ぞや、汝最早家令たるを得ざれば、家令たりし時の會計を差出せ、と云ひしに、
And, accosting him, he said unto him—What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.
3 家令心の中に謂ひけるは、我主人家令の職を我より褫へる上は、我何を為すべきぞ、耕す事は叶はず、乞食するは羞し、
And the steward said within himself—What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.
4 家令を罷められたる後、人々の家に承けられん為には、為すべき様こそあれ、とて、
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
5 主人に負債ある人々を呼集めて、初の一人に云ひけるは、我主人に對する汝の負債は幾許ぞ、と。
And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, —How much owest thou my lord?
6 彼、油百樽なり、と云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取り、早く坐して五十と書け、と。
And, he, said—A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write—Fifty!
7 又次の者に云ひけるは、汝の負債は幾許ぞと、彼、麦百石なりと云ひしに、家令云ひけるは、汝の證書を取りて八十と書け、と。
After that, unto another, he said—And how much owest, thou? And, he, said—A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and write—Eighty!
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: —Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. (aiōn g165)
And, I, unto you, say—For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 抑小事に忠なる人は大事にも亦忠なり、小事に不正なる人は大事にも亦不正なり。
The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
11 然れば汝等若し不正の富に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か眞の富を汝等に托せん。
If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
12 又他人の物に於て忠ならざりせば、誰か汝等の物を汝等に與へん。
And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
13 一人の僕は二人の主に兼事ふること能はず、或は一人を憎みて一人を愛し、或は一人に從ひて一人を疎むべければなり。汝等は神と富とに兼事ふること能はず、[と宣へり]。
No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.
14 然るに貪欲なるファリザイ人等、此始終の事を聞きて嘲りければ、
Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
15 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等は人の前に自ら義とする者なり、然れど神は汝等の心を知り給ふ、蓋人に取りて高き者は、神の御前に憎むべき者なり。
And he said unto them—Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.
16 律法と預言者等とはヨハネを限とす、其時より神の國は宣傳へられ、人皆力を盡して之に到らんとす。
The law and the prophets, were until John, —from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.
17 天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
18 総て妻を出して他に娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり、又夫より出されたる婦を娶る人は姦淫を行ふ者なり。
Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
19 曾て一人の富豪あり、緋色の布と亜麻布とを纏ひ、日々奢り暮らしたるに、
Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
20 又ラザルと云へる一人の乞食あり、全身腫縻れて富豪の門前に偃し、
And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
21 其食卓より落つる屑に飽足らん事を欲すれども與ふる人なく、而も犬等來りて其腫物を舐り居たり。
and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
23 苦痛の中に在りて、目を翹げて、遥にアブラハムと其懐なるラザルとを見、
And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 叫びて云ひけるは、父アブラハムよ、我を憫みてラザルを遣はし、其指先を水に浸して我舌を冷させ給へ、我は此焔の中に甚く苦しめるを、と。
And, he, calling out, said—Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, —because I am in anguish in this flame.
25 アブラハム之に云ひけるは、子よ、汝が存命の間善き物を受け、ラザルが同じ間に惡き物を受けしを記憶せよ、然ればこそ今彼は慰められて汝は苦しむなれ。
But Abraham said—Child! remember—That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.
26 加之、我等と汝等との間には大いなる淵の定置かれたれば、此處より汝等の處へ渡らんと欲するも叶はず、其處より此處に移る事も叶はざるなり、と。
And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, —so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
27 富豪又云ひけるは、然らば父よ、希はくはラザルを我父の家に遣はし、
But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
28 我に兄弟五人あれば、彼等も亦此苦悩の處に來らざる様、之に證明せしめ給へ、と。
for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
29 アブラハム之に云ひけるは、モイゼと預言者等とあれば、彼等は之に聴くべきなり、と。
But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
30 富豪、否父アブラハムよ、然れど若死者の中より至る者あらば、彼等改心すべし、と云ひければ、
But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
31 アブラハム之に向ひて、若モイゼと預言者等とに聴かざる彼等ならば、假令死者の中より復活すとも信ぜざるべし、と云へり、と。
But he said unto him—If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
