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 spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
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 his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my 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 with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, 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 to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their 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 he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to 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 to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
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。
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (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。
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
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 ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
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 ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
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]。
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
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、
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided 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 Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable 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: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 天地の廃るは、律法の一画の墜つるよりは易し。
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
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。
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, 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、
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
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 there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
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 he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. 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 being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, 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 called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented 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。
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
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 with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
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、
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to 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 brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to 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。
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear 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 to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will 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。
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
