ルカの福音書 7
1 イエズス其凡ての言を人民に説き聞かせ畢りて、カファルナウムに入り給ひしが、
Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 或百夫長、己が重んぜる僕の病みて死するばかりなれば、
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 イエズスの事を聞くや、ユデア人の長老等を遣はし、來りて其僕を醫し給はん事を請はしめたり。
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 彼等イエズスの許に詣りて切に願ひ、彼人は之を為し給ふに堪へたる者なり、
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 其は我が國民を愛し、我等の為に自ら會堂を建てたればなり、と云ひければ、
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 イエズス彼等と共に往き給ひ、既に其家に遠からずなり給へる時、百夫長朋輩を遣はして云はしめけるは、主よ、自ら煩はし給ふこと勿れ、其は我不肖にして、主の我屋根の下に入り給ふに足らざればなり。
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 故に我身も御前に詣るに堪へずと思へり。然りながら唯一言にて命じ給へ、然らば我僕痊えん。
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 蓋我も人の権下に立つ者ながら、部下に兵卒ありて、此に往けと云へば往き、彼に來れと云へば來り、又我僕に之を為せと云へば為すなり、と。
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
9 イエズス之を聞きて感嘆し、從へる群衆を顧みて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、イスラエルの中にても、斯程の信仰に逢ひし事なし、と。
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 斯て遣はされし人々家に歸りて見れば、病みたりし僕既に痊えたりき。
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 其後イエズスナイムと云へる町に往き給ふに、弟子等も夥しき群衆も共に往きてありしが、
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 町の門に近づき給ふ時、折しも舁出さるる死人あり。是は其母の獨子にて、母は寡婦なり、町の人夥しく之に伴ひ居たり。
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 主此寡婦を見給ふや哀れを感じ給ひて、泣くこと勿れ、と曰ひつつ、
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 近づきて棺に手を觸れ給ひしかば、舁ける人々立止れり。
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare [him] stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 イエズス、若者よ、我汝に命ず、起きよ、と曰ふや、死したる者起返りて言ひ始めけるを、其母に與へ給ひしかば、
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 人々皆懼を懐き、光榮を神に歸して云ひけるは、大いなる預言者我等の中に起れり、神は其民を顧み給へるなり、と。
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 斯て此噂ユデア一般及凡て其周圍の地方に弘まれり。
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.
18 ヨハネの弟子等、此一切の事を己が師に告げしかば、
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 ヨハネ其弟子の二人を呼びて、來るべき者は汝なるか、或は我等の待つ者は尚外に在るか、と云ひてイエズスに遣はしければ、
And John calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent [them] to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 彼等イエズスの許に至りて云ひけるは、洗者ヨハネ我等を汝に遣はして、來るべき者は汝なるか或は我等の待つ者尚外に在るかと云ふ、と。
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 當時イエズスは、多くの人を病と傷と惡鬼とより醫し、且多くの瞽者に視力を與へ給ひしが、
And in that same hour he cured many of [their] infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many [that were] blind he gave sight.
22 答へて使に曰ひけるは、汝等見聞せし事を、往きてヨハネに告げよ、即ち瞽者は見え、跛者は歩み、癩病者は潔く成り、聾者は聞え、死者は蘇り、貧者は福音を聞かせらる、
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 総て我に就きて躓かざる人は福なり、と。
And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 ヨハネの使去りて後、イエズスヨハネの事を群衆に語出で給ひけるは、汝等何を見んとて荒野に出でしぞ、風に揺かさるる葦か、
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 然らば何を見んとて出でしぞ、柔き衣服を着たる人か、看よ、値高き衣服を着て樂しく暮す人々は、帝王の家に在り、
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 然らば何を見んとて出でしぞ、預言者か、我汝等に告ぐ、然り預言者よりも優れる者なり、
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 録して「看よ、我使を汝の面前に遣はさん、彼汝に先ちて汝の道を備ふべし」とあるは彼の事なり。
This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 即ち我汝等に告ぐ、婦より生れたる者の中に、洗者ヨハネより大なる預言者はあらず、然れど神の國にて最小き人も彼より大いなり。
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 彼に聞ける総ての人民税吏までも、ヨハネの洗禮を受けて神を義しとせり、
And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 然れどファリザイ人、律法學士等は彼に洗せられずして、己に於る神の御旨を軽んぜり、と。
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 主又曰ひけるは、然れば我現代の人を誰にか擬へん、彼等は、誰に似たるぞや、
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 恰童等が衢に坐して語合ひ、我等、汝等の為に笛吹きたれども、汝等踊らず、汝等の為に嘆きたれども、汝等泣かざりき、と云へるに似たり。
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 即ち洗者ヨハネ來りて、麪を食せず酒を飲まざれば、汝等、彼は惡魔に憑かれたりと云ひ、
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 人の子來りて飲食すれば、彼は食を嗜み酒を飲み、税吏と罪人との友たり、と云ふ。
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 然りながら、智恵は其凡ての子に義しとせられたり、と。
But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 爰に一人のファリザイ人、イエズスに會食せん事を請ひければ、其ファリザイ人の家に入りて、食卓に就き給ひしが、
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 折しも其町に罪人なる一個の婦ありて、イエズスがファリザイ人の家にて食卓に就き給へるを聞くや、香油を盛りたる器を持來り、
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 イエズスの足下にて其後に立ち、御足を次第に涙にて濡し、己が髪毛にて之を拭ひ、且御足に接吻し且香油を注ぎければ、
And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.
39 イエズスを招きたるファリザイ人、之を見て心の中に云ひけるは、彼は果して預言者ならば、己に觸るる婦の誰にして如何なる人なるかを、能く知れるならん、彼婦は罪人なるものを、と。
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 イエズス答へて、シモンよ、我汝に云ふ事あり、と曰ひければ、彼、師よ、仰せられよ、と云ふに、
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 [曰ひけるは]、或債主に二人の負債者あり、一人は五百デナリオ、一人は五十デナリオの負債あるを、
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 還すべき由なければ、債主二人を共に免せり、斯て債主を最も愛せん者は孰れなるぞ、と。
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 シモン答へて、我思ふに其は多くを免されたる者ならん、と云ひしに、イエズス、汝善く判断せり、と曰ひ、
Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 然て婦を顧みてシモンに曰ひけるは、此婦を見るか、我汝の家に入りしに、汝は我足の水を與へざりしを、此婦は涙を以て我足を濡し、己が髪毛を以て之を拭へり。
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the hairs of her head.
45 汝は我に接吻せざりしに、此婦は入來りてより絶えず我足に接吻せり。
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 汝は油を我頭に注がざりしに、此婦は香油を我足に注げり。
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 此故に我汝に告ぐ、此婦は多く愛したるが故に、多くの罪を赦さるるなり、赦さるる事少き人は愛する事少し、と。
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
48 斯て彼婦に向ひ、汝の罪赦さる、と曰ひしかば、
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 食卓を共にせる人々、心の中に言出でけるは、彼何人なれば罪をも赦すぞ、と。
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 イエズス婦に向ひて、汝の信仰汝を救へり、安んじて往け、と曰へり。
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
