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 came to pass afterwards that He went through every city and village, preaching and declaring the good tidings of 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、
and some women that had been cured of evil spirits and other infirmities, as Mary Magdalene, out of whom were cast seven demons,
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 others, who assisted Him with their substance.
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、
And when a great multitude was gathered together, of those that came to Him out of every city, He spake a parable saying,
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。
A sower went out to sow his seed, and as he was sowing, some fell by the way-side, and was trodden down, 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 stony ground, and as soon as it 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 sprang up with it and choked 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。
But some fell on good ground, and sprang up and yielded fruit an hundred-fold. And as He said these things He cried out, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
9 弟子等、此喩を如何にと問ひしに、
And his disciples asked Him, what might be the meaning of this parable.
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 you it is granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but I speak to others in parables, that in seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 此喩は斯の如し、種は神の御言なり、
Now this is the meaning of the parable, 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 by the way-side, are such as hear indeed; but then the devil cometh and taketh away the word from their hearts, least they should believe and 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。
And those on stony-ground are such as when they hear, receive the word with joy; but have no root, and so believe only for a while, and in the time of trial 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 that which fell among thorns, are those who when they have heard the word go away and are choked with the cares and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
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 that on the good ground, are those who having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and bring forth fruit with 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。
No man when he hath lighted a candle covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a couch; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come in 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, that shall not be made manifest: nor any thing concealed, which shall not be made known and come to light.)
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。
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever improveth what he hath, to him shall more be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken 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、
Now his mother and his brethren came to Him, and could not come at Him for the croud:
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 told Him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee.
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 He answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that 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。
And it came to pass on one of the days that He went into a ship, Himself and his disciples, and He said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake.
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 they launched forth: but as they were failing, He fell asleep: and a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in great 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。
And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
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。
And He said unto them, Where is your faith? But they were struck with awe and amazement, and said one to another, who is this? for He commandeth even the winds and the 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 country of the Gadarenes, which is over against 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 was landed, there met Him a man out of the city, who had been possessed by demons a long while, and wore no clothes, and abode in no dwelling but the tombs.
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。
But when he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down to Him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment 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 commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man; which had oftentimes seized him so violently, that tho' he was bound with chains and fetters, yet he broke the bands asunder, and was driven by the demon into those lonely 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。
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: because many demons were entred into him.
And they besought Him that He would not command 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、
but as there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, they intreated Him that He would suffer 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。
So the demons went out of the man and entred into the swine: and the herd ran violently down the hill into the lake and 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 that looked after them saw what was done they fled; and went and told it in city and country:
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。
and the people went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus; and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind:
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、
and they were afraid, for those that saw it told them how the demoniac was healed.
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 all the people of the country round about the Gadarenes desired Him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and He went into the ship and returned.
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、
Now the man from whom the demons were gone out, prayed Him to let him be with Him: but Jesus sent him away,
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。
saying, Return home, and relate what God hath done for thee. So he went away publishing through the whole city what great things Jesus had done to 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。
And when Jesus returned, a great multitude of people 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 there came a man whose name was Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell at the feet of Jesus, and intreated Him to come 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, about twelve years old, and she was dying. (But as He was going, the people crouded Him:
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 a woman who had been in a flux twelve years, and had spent her whole livelyhood upon physicians,
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。
but could not be healed by any, came close behind Him and touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux was stopt.
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 touched me? When all denied it, Peter, and those that were with him, said, Sir, the multitudes throng and press thee, and dost thou ask, Who was it that 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, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive a peculiar virtue is gone out of 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、
And when the woman saw that she was not concealed, she came trembling, and fell down to Him, and declared before all the people, for what reason she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
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。
And He said unto her, Daughter, be comforted, thy faith has healed thee, 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 yet speaking, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's, and said to Him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the Master.
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。
But Jesus hearing it, answered saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be recovered.
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 came to the house, He suffered none to go in but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.
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、
And they were all weeping and bewailing her: but He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 人々は彼の死したるを知りて、之を嘲笑ひ居たり。
And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
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 turned them all out, and taking hold of her hand, called to her, saying, Child, 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 immediately she stood up: and He ordered something to be given her 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 exceedingly astonished: but He charged them to tell no one what was done.
