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、
After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing 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, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
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。
But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
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, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest 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, the synagogue, he, built for us.
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。
And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
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 deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant 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 too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this 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。
And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
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 who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
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 thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
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, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude 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, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
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, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, 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 the dead man sat up, and began to speak; and he gave 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 fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—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 report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
18 ヨハネの弟子等、此一切の事を己が師に告げしかば、
And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning 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, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
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。
And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
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、
In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
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、
And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
23 総て我に就きて躓かざる人は福なり、と。
And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling 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, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
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 forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly 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 forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly 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 concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who 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。
I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; 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, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion 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 the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by 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、
Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto 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 the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
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 Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
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 hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors 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。
And yet wisdom hath been justified by 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 a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
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, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
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 standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
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。
But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that 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, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
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、
Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, 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。
they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
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、
Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou 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, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
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。
A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing 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。
With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
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。
For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
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 have been 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 who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
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。
But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
