マルコの福音書 12
1 イエズス、喩を以て彼等に語出で給ひけるは、或人葡萄畑を造りて、籬を環らし、酒醡を堀り、物見台を設け之を小作人に貸して遠方へ旅立ちしが、
And Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
2 季節に至り、小作人より葡萄畑の果を受取らしめんとて、一人の僕を彼等に遣はししに、
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the vintage;
3 小作人等之を捕へて打ち、空手にて逐歸せり。
but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 再他の僕を遣はししに、彼等又其頭を傷け、大に之を辱めたり。
A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
5 更に他の僕を遣はししに、彼等之をも殺し、尚其他數人の[使]をも、或は打ち或は殺せり。
He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others — some they beat and some they killed.
6 爰に尚一人の最愛の子ありければ、彼等我子をば敬ふならん、とて最後に之をも遣はししに、
He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7 小作人等語合ひけるは、是相続人なり、いざ來れかし彼を殺さん、然らば家督は我等の有と成るべし、と。
But those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
8 乃ち捕へて之を殺し、葡萄畑の外に擲てり。
So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
9 然れば葡萄畑の主如何に之を處分せんか。彼は當に來りて、小作人等を打亡ぼし、葡萄畑を他人に貸與ふべし。
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
10 汝等未此[聖]書を読まざるか、即「家を建つる人々の棄てし石は、隅の首石と為られたり。
‘Have you never read this passage of Scripture? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone;
11 是は主の手に為されし事にて、我等の目には不思議なり」とあるなり、と。
this corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.’”
12 司祭長律法學士等は、イエズスが己等を斥して此喩を語り給ひし事を悟りたれば、之を捕へんと謀りたりしも、群衆を懼れたり。斯て遂に彼を舍きて去りしが、
After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they let him alone, and went away.
13 言質を捉へん為に、ファリザイ人とヘロデの徒との中より、或人々をイエズスの許に遣はししに、彼等至りて是に云ひけるは、師よ、汝が眞實にして誰をも憚らざることは我等之を知る、其は人の面を見ず、眞理によりて神の道を教へ給へばなり。
Afterwards they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
14 セザルには税を納むべきか、又は之を納めざるべきか、と。
These men came to him and said: “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of any one, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the Way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
15 イエズス彼等の狡猾を知りて、汝等何ぞ我を試むるや。デナリオを持來りて我に見せよ、と曰ひしかば、
Should we pay, or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a florin to look at.”
16 彼等之を齎せり。然て曰ひけるは、此像と銘とは誰のなるぞ、と。彼等セザルのなりと云ひしに、
And, when they had brought it, he asked: “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
17 イエズス答へて、然らばセザルの物はセザルに還し、神の物は神に還せ、と曰ひしかば、彼等大いにイエズスを感歎し居たり。
and Jesus replied: “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.” And they wondered at him.
18 復活なしと主張せるサドカイ人等、イエズスの許に至り、問ひて云ひけるは、
Next came some Sadducees — the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
19 師よ、モイゼの我等に書殘しし所によれば、若人の兄弟死して妻を後に遺し、子を遺さざる時は、其兄弟彼が妻を娶りて兄弟の為に子を挙ぐべし、とあり。
“Teacher, in our Scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
20 然るに兄弟七人ありて、兄妻を娶り子を遺さずして死し、
There were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest took a wife, but died and left no family;
21 其次の者之を娶りて亦子を遺さずして死し、第三の者も亦斯の如くにして、
and the second took her, and died without family; and so did the third.
22 七人同じ様に之を娶りしかど、子を遺さず、最後に婦も亦死せり。
All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
23 斯て復活の時彼等復活せば、彼婦は誰の妻となるべきか、其は七人皆之を娶りたればなり、と。
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
24 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、汝等は聖書をも神の能力をも知らざるが故に誤れるに非ずや。
“Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 蓋死者の中より復活したらん時には、娶らず嫁がず天に於る天使等の如し。
When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in Heaven.
26 汝等死者の復活する事に就きては、モイゼの書中、荊棘の篇に神が彼に曰ひし所を読まざりしか、即曰へらく「我はアブラハムの神、イザアクの神ヤコブの神なり」と、
“As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him thus — ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 死者の神には非ず、生者の神にて在す。然れば汝等大いに誤れり、と。
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
28 一人の律法學士は、サドカイ人等の論じ合へるを聞き、イエズスの善く彼等に答へ給ひしを見て、是に近づき、凡ての掟の中、第一なるものは孰ぞ、と問ひしに、
Then came up one of the Teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question: “What is the first of all the commandments?”
29 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、凡ての掟の中第一なるものは即、「イスラエルよ聴け、主なる汝の神は唯一の神なり。
“The first,” answered Jesus, “is — ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
30 汝の心を盡し、魂を盡し、意を盡し、盡して能力を盡して、主なる汝の神を愛すべし」と、是第一の掟なり。
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’
31 第二も是に同じく、「汝の近き者を己の如く愛すべし」と是なり。是等より大いなる掟は他に在る事なし、と。
The second is this — ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost love thyself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 律法學士云ひけるは、善し、師よ、汝の曰へる所は眞なり。實に神は唯一にして、彼の外他の[神]なし。
“Wisely answered, Teacher!” exclaimed the Teacher of the Law. “It is true, as you say, that ‘there is one God,’ and that ‘there is no other besides him’;
33 又心を盡し、智恵を盡し、魂を盡し、力を盡して之を愛すべし、又近き者を己の如く愛するは、凡ての燔祭及犠牲に優れり、と。
and to ‘love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength,’ and to ‘love one’s neighbour as one loves oneself’ is far beyond all ‘burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’”
34 イエズス彼が賢く答へしを見て、汝は神の國に遠からず、と曰ひしが、此後敢てイエズスに問ふ者なかりき。
Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him: “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” After that no one ventured to question him further.
35 イエズス[神]殿に於て教へつつ居給ひし時、答へて曰ひけるは、律法學士等は如何ぞキリストをダヴィドの子なりと云ふや。
While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: “How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
36 蓋ダヴィド聖霊によりて自ら曰く「主我主に曰へらく、我汝の敵を汝の足台と為すまで、我右に坐せよ」と。
David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit — ‘The Lord said to my lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet.’”
37 斯くダヴィド自らキリストを主と稱ふるに、是如何にして其子ならんや、と。夥しき群衆、欣びて之を聞けり。
David himself calls him ‘lord,’ how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?” The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
38 イエズス教を説きて人々に曰ひけるは、律法學士等に用心せよ、彼等は長き袍を着歩く事、衢にて敬禮せらるる事、
In the course of his teaching, Jesus said: “See that you are on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
39 會堂にて上座を占むる事、宴席にて上席に着く事を好み、
and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
40 長き祈に託けて寡婦等の家を食盡すなり。彼等は一入長き審判を受くべし、と。
They are the men that rob widows of their homes, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
41 イエズス、賽銭箱の向に坐して、群衆の銭を投入るる状を眺め居給へるに、富者の多くは多分に投入れたりしが、
Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
42 一人の貧しき寡婦來りて、二ミスタ即三厘計を入れしかば、
but one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.
43 イエズス弟子等を呼集めて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、此貧しき寡婦は、賽銭箱に投入れたる凡ての人よりも多く入れたり。
On this, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said: “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
44 其は凡ての人は、其餘れる中より入れしに、此婦は其乏しき中より、総て有てる物、己が生計の料を悉く入れたればなり、と。
for every one else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had — everything that she had to live on.”
