< ルカの福音書 21 >

1 イエズス目を翹げて、富める人々の賽銭を賽銭箱に投るるを見、
He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 又一人の貧しき寡婦の二厘を投るるを見て、
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small bronze coins.
3 曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、彼貧しき寡婦は凡ての人より多く投れたり。
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 其は、彼等は皆其餘れる中より賽銭を投れたるに、彼婦は其乏しき中より有てる活計の料を悉く投れたればなり、と。
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5 第三款 種々の預言 或人々、神殿が美き石及び献物にて飾られたる事を語れるに、イエズス曰ひけるは、
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 汝等の見る此品々、終には一の石も崩れずして石の上に遺らざる日來らん、と。
“As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7 彼等又問ひて、師よ、此等の事は何時あるべきぞ、其起らん時には如何なる兆かあるべき、と云ひしに、
They asked him, “Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 イエズス曰ひけるは、汝等惑はされじと注意せよ、其は多くの人我名を冒して來り、我なり、時は近し、と云ふべければなり。然れば彼等に從ふこと勿れ、
He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 又戰争叛亂ありと聞くとも怖るること勿れ、此事等は先有るべしと雖、終は未だ直に來らざるなり、と。
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10 斯て彼等に曰ひけるは、民は民に、國は國に起逆らひ、
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 又處々に大地震、疫病、飢饉あり、天に凶變あり、大いなる兆あるべし。
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 然て此一切の事に先ちて、人々我名の為に汝等に手を下して汝等を迫害し、會堂に、監獄に付し、王侯総督の前に引かん、
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 此事の汝等に起るは證據とならん為なり。
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 然れば汝等覚悟して、如何に答へんかと豫め慮ること勿れ、
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 其は我、汝等が凡ての敵の言防ぎ言破ること能はざるべき、口と智恵とを汝等に與ふべければなり。
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 又汝等は親、兄弟、親族、朋友より売られ、其中或は彼等に殺さるる者もあるべく、
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 又我名の為に凡ての人に憎まれん。
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 然れども、汝等の髪毛の一縷だも失せじ。
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 忍耐を以て其魂を保て。
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 然てエルザレムが軍隊に取圍まるるを見ば、其時其滅亡は近づきたりと知れ。
“But when you see Jerusalem [City of peace] surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 其時ユデアに居る人は山に遁るべく、市中に居る人は立退くべく、地方に居る人は市中に入るべからず。
Then let those who are in Judea [Praise] flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 此は是刑罰の日にして、録されたる事総て成就すべければなり。
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 然れど其日に當りて孕める人、乳を哺まする人は禍いなる哉、其は地上に大いなる難ありて、怒は此民に臨むべければなり。
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24 斯て人々は剣の刃に倒れ、捕虜となりて諸國に引かれ、エルザレムは異邦人に蹂躙られ、諸國民の時満つるに至らん。
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem [City of peace] will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 又日、月、星に兆顕れ、地上には海と波との鳴轟きて、諸の國民之が為に狼狽へ、
There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 人々は全世界の上に起らんとする事を豫期して、怖ろしさに憔悴ん、其は天上の能力震動すべければなり。
men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 時に人の子が、大いなる権力と威光とを以て、雲に乗り來るを見ん。
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 是等の事起らば、仰ぎて首を翹げよ、其は汝等の救贖はるること近ければなり、と。
But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 イエズス又彼等に喩を語り給ひけるは、無花果及び一切の樹を見よ、
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 既に自ら芽せば、汝等夏の近きを知る。
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 斯の如く此事等の起るを見ば、神の國は近しと知れ。
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 我誠に汝等に告ぐ、此事の皆成就するまで、現代は過ぎざらん、
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 天地は過ぎん、然れど我言は過ぎざるべし。
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 自ら慎め、恐らくは汝等の心、放蕩、酩酊、或は今生の心勞の為に鈍りて、彼日は思はず汝等の上に來らん、
“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35 此は地の全面に住む人間一切の上に、罠の如く來るべければなり。
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 然れば汝等、來るべき此凡ての事を迯れ、人の子の前に立つに堪へたる者とせらるる様、警戒して不断に祈れ、と。
Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 イエズス晝は[神]殿にて教へ、夜は出でて橄欖山と云へる山に宿り居給ひしが、
Every day Yeshua [Salvation] was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 人民は、之に聴かんとて、朝早くより[神]殿の内に於て、御許に至り居りき。
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
