ルカの福音書 8
1 其後イエズス、説教し且神の國の福音を宣べつつ、町々村々を巡廻し給ひければ、十二使徒之に伴ひ、
And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 又曾て惡鬼を逐払はれ、病を醫されたる數人の婦人、即ち七の惡魔の其身より出でたる、マグダレナと呼ばるるマリア、
along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 ヘロデの家令クサの妻ヨハンナ及スザンナ、其他多くの婦人ありて、己が財産を以て彼等に供給し居たり。
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 然て夥しき人、町々よりイエズスの許に走集りければ、イエズス喩を以て語り給ひけるは、
Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 種播く人其種を播きに出でしが、播く時或者は路傍に落ちしかば、踏着けられ、空の鳥之を啄めり。
“The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 或者は石の上に落ちしかば、生出たれど、潤なきに由りて枯れたり。
And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 或者は茨の中に落ちしかば、茨共に長ちて之を蔽塞げり。
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 或者は沃壌に落ちしかば、生出でて百倍の實を結べり、と。イエズス此事を曰ひて、聞く耳を有てる人は聞け、と呼はり居給へり。
And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 弟子等、此喩を如何にと問ひしに、
Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 曰ひけるは、汝等は神の國の奥義を知る事を賜はりたれど、他の人は喩を以てせらる、是は彼等が見つつ視えず、聞きつつ暁らざらん為なり。
And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 此喩は斯の如し、種は神の御言なり、
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 路傍の者は聞く人々にして、彼等の信じて救はれざらん為、後に惡魔來りて言を其心より奪ふなり。
And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 石の上の者は、聞く時に喜びて言を受くれど、己に根無く、暫く信じて、誘の時には退く人々なり。
Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 茨の中に落ちしは、聞きたる後、往く往く世の慮と富と快樂とに蔽塞がれて、實を結ばざる人々なり。
And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 然るに沃壌に落ちしは、善良なる心にて、言を聞きて之を保ち、忍耐を以て實を結ぶ人々なり。
But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 誰も燈を點して、器を以て之を覆ひ、或は寝台の下に置く者はあらず、入來る者に明を見せん為に、之を燭台の上に置く。
Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 蓋秘して露れざるはなく、隠れて遂に知れず公にならざるはなし。
For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 此故に汝等聞方に注意せよ。其は有てる人は尚與へられ、有たぬ人は其有てりと思ふ物をも奪はるべければなり、と。
Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 然てイエズスの母、兄弟、逢はんとて來りしかど、群衆の為に近づくこと能はざりしかば、
Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 汝の母、兄弟汝に逢はんとて外に立てり、と告ぐる者ありしに、
And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 イエズス答へて人々に曰ひけるは、神の御言を聴き且行ふ人、是我母、兄弟なり、と。
And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 一日イエズス、弟子等と共に小舟に乗り給ひしに、我等湖の彼方に渡らん、と曰ひて軈て乗出せり。
Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 斯て渡る間にイエズス眠り給ひしが、暴風湖に吹下し來り、水舟に充ちて危かりければ、
And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 弟子等近づきて、師よ、我等亡ぶ、と云ひつつイエズスを覚ましたるに、起きて風と怒涛とを戒め給ひしかば、波風息みて凪となれり。
Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 然て、汝等の信仰何處に在る、と曰ひければ、彼等且怖れ且感嘆して、是を誰と思ふぞ、風も湖も、命じ給へば是に從ふよ、と云合へり。
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 又ガリレアに對へるゲラサ人の地方に渡りて、
And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 上陸し給ひしに、一箇の人ありて之を迎へたり。彼惡魔に憑かれたる事既に久しくして、衣服をも着ず家にも住まず、墓にのみ居りしが、
And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 イエズスを見るや御前に平伏し、聲高く叫びて、最高き神の御子イエズスよ、我と汝と何の関係かあらん。願くは我を苦しむること勿れ、と云へり。
And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 是イエズス惡鬼に、此人より出でよ、と命じ給へばなり。蓋彼惡鬼に執へらるる事既に久しく、鎖にて縛られ、桎にて護らるるも、繋を破り、惡魔に駆られて、荒野に往き居たりき。
For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 イエズス之に問ひて、汝の名は何ぞ、と曰ひしに彼、軍団なり、と云へり、其は之に入りたる惡魔多ければなり。
Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 其處に多くの豚の群、山にて草を食み居しかば、惡魔等其豚に入るを允されん事を請ひけるに、イエズス之を允し給ひければ、
And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 惡魔等其人より出でて豚に入り、其群周章しく崖より湖に飛入りて溺死せり。
Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 牧者等其成行を見るや迯往きて、町に村に吹聴せしかば、
And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 人々事の様を見んとて出でしが、イエズスの許に來り、彼惡魔の出でたりし人の、既に衣服を纏ひ心確にして、イエズスの足下に坐せるを見て怖れたり。
Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 斯て見し人々も亦、惡魔憑の救はれし次第を誰彼に告げしかば、
Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 ゲラサ地方の人民挙りて、己等より立去り給はん事をイエズスに請へり、是大いに怖れたればなり。然てイエズス船に乗りて歸り給ひしに、
And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 惡魔の離れし男伴はん事を願ひしかど、イエズス之を去らして曰ひけるは、
And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 己が家に歸りて、神が如何ばかり大いなる事を汝に為し給ひしかを告げよ、と。斯くて彼は普く町を廻りて、イエズスの如何ばかり大いなる事を己に為し給ひしか言弘めたり。
“Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 イエズス歸り給ひしに、人皆待居たりければ、群衆之を歓迎せり。
Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 折しも名をヤイロと云える人來り、會堂の司なりしが、イエズスの足下に平伏して、己が家に入り給はん事を請へり、
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 其は己に十二歳ばかりの獨女ありて、将に死なんとすればなり。イエズス往き給ふ途にて、群衆に押蹙られ給へる中に、
For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 十二年來血漏を患へる一人の女、曾て醫者の為に悉く其財産を費したれども、誰の手にも醫され得ざりしが、
And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 後より近づきてイエズスの衣服の総に觸れしかば、其の出血忽止れり。
She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 イエズス、我に觸れし者は誰ぞ、と曰へば皆否めるを、ペトロ及び之に伴ひたる人々云ひけるは、師よ、群衆押蹙りて汝を煩はすに、猶誰か我に觸れし、と曰ふか。
And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 イエズス曰ひけるは、我に觸れし者あり、我霊能の我身より出でたるを覚ゆればなり、と。
And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 女其隠れざりしを見て慄きつつ、來りてイエズスの足下に平伏し、其觸れし理由と直に痊えたる次第とを公衆の前に明しければ、
Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、女よ汝の信仰汝を救へり、安んじて往け、と。
But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 言未了らざるに、人會堂の司の許に來り、汝の女死せり、師を煩わすこと勿れ、と云ひしに、
While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 イエズス此言を聞きて女の父に答へ給ひけるは、懼るること勿れ、唯信ぜよ、然らば彼助かるべし、と。
Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 斯て其家に至り給ひて、ペトロ、ヤコボ、ヨハネ及び女の父母の外、共に入る事を誰にも許し給はず、
And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 人皆女の為に泣き且歎き居れるを、泣く勿れ、女は死したるに非ず、寝ねたるなり、と曰ひしに、
Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 人々は彼の死したるを知りて、之を嘲笑ひ居たり。
And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 然るにイエズス、女の手を取り、呼はりて、女起きよ、と曰へば、
But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 其霊還りて女直に起きしかば、之に食物を與ふる事を命じ給へり。
And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 兩親は甚く驚きしが、成りし事を誰にも語るな、とイエズス戒め給へり。
And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
