マタイの福音書 13
1 第二款 天國の喩 其日イエズス家を出でて湖辺に坐し居給へるに、
THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near the sea.
2 群衆夥しく其許に集まりしかば、イエズス小舟に乗りて坐し給ひ、群衆皆濱に立ち居りしが、
And vast multitudes were gathered together unto him, insomuch that he entered into a vessel to be seated; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 喩を以て數多の事を彼等に語りて曰ひけるは、種撒く人撒きに出でしが、
And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 撒く時或種は路傍に遺ちしかば、空の鳥來りて、之を啄めり。
and as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds came and ate them up:
5 或種は土少き磽地に遺ちしかば、土の浅きに由りて直に生出でたれど、
and other seed fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 日出でて灼け、根なきに因りて枯れたり。
and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 或種は茨の中に遺ちしかば、茨長ちて之を塞げり。
And other seeds fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them:
8 或種は沃土に遺ちて、或は百倍、或は六十倍、或は三十倍の實を結べり。
but others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 聴く耳を有てる人は聴け、と。
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 弟子等近づきて、何ぞ喩を以て彼等に語り給ふや、と云ひしかば、
And when his disciples came, they said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 答へて曰ひけるは、汝等は天國の奥義を知る事を賜はりたれども、彼等は賜はらざるなり。
And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 夫有てる人は尚與へられて裕ならん、然れど有たぬ人は其有てる所をも奪はれん。
For whosoever hath, more shall be given to him, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, even that he hath shall be taken from him.
13 喩を以て彼等に語るは、彼等見れども見えず、聞けども聞えず、又暁らざるが故なり、と。
Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor understand.
14 斯てイザヤの預言彼等に於て成就す、曰く「汝等は聞きて聞ゆれども暁らず、見て見ゆれども認らざらん。
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive:
15 其は目に見えず、耳に聞えず、心に暁らず、立歸りて我に醫されざらん為に、此民の心鈍くなりて、其耳は聞くに嬾く、其目は閉ぢたればなり」と。
for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
16 汝等の目は福なり、見ゆればなり、汝等の耳も[福なり、]聞ゆればなり。
But blessed are your eyes; for ye see: and your ears; for ye hear.
17 我誠に汝等に告ぐ、多くの預言者と義人とは、汝等の見る所を見んと欲せしかど見えず、汝等の聞く所を聞かんと欲せしかど聞えざりき。
For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 然れば汝等種捲く播く人の喩を聞け、
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 総て人[天]國の言を聞きて暁らざる時は、惡魔來りて其心に播かれたるものを奪ふ、此路傍に播かれたるものなり。
When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.
20 磽地に播かれたるは、言を聞きて直に喜び受くれども、
But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving it,
21 己に根なく暫時のみにして、言の為に患難と迫害と起れば、忽に躓くものなり。
hath not really root in himself, but is merely temporary: and when tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately he is stumbled.
But the sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word, and the anxiety about this world and the deceitfulness of riches, choketh the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 沃土に播かれたるは、言を聞きて暁り、實を結びて或は百倍、或は六十倍、或は三十倍を出すものなり、と。
But the sown upon the good ground, is he who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly beareth fruit, and produceth, one an hundred fold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
24 イエズス又他の喩を彼等に提出でて曰ひけるは、天國は良き種を其畑に播きたる人に似たり。
Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 人々の寝たる間に、其敵來りて麦の中に毒麦を播きて去りしが、
and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed.
26 苗長ちて實りたるに、毒麦も現れしかば、
But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane.
27 僕等近づきて家父に云ひけるは、主よ、良き種を畑に播きたるに非ずや、然れば毒麦は何によりてか生えたる。
The servants of the proprietor came, and said to him, Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it the zizane?
28 彼云ひけるは、敵なる人之を為せり、と。僕等、我等往きて之を集めなば如何に、と云ひしに、
He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out?
29 家父云ひけるは、否、恐らくは、汝等毒麦を集むるに、是と共に麦をも抜かん。
he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them.
30 収穫まで兩ながら長て置け、収穫の時我刈る者に對ひて、先毒麦を集めて焚く為に之を束ね、麦をば我倉に収めよ、と云はん、と。
Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 又他の喩を彼等に提出て曰ひけるは、天國は人の取りて其畑に播きたる芥種に似たり。
Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field:
32 凡ての種の中最小きものなれども、長ちて後は凡ての野菜より大くして、空の鳥其枝に來りて棲む程の樹と成る、と。
which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.
33 又他の喩を彼等に語り給ひけるは、天國は麪酵に似たり、即婦之を取りて三斗の粉の中に隠せば悉く脹るるに至る、と。
Another parable spake he to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and covered up in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened.
34 イエズス総て是等の事を喩もて群衆に語り給ひしが、喩なしには語り給ふ事なかりき。
All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:
35 是預言者に託りて云はれたりし事の成就せん為なり、曰く「我喩を設けて口を開き、世の始より隠れたる事を告げん」と。
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will bring forth things hid from the foundation of the world.
36 然て群衆を去らしめ、家に至り給ひしに、弟子等に近づきて、畑の毒麦の喩を我等に解き給へ、と云ひければ、
Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.
37 答へて曰ひけるは、良き種を撒く者は人の子なり、
And he replying said to them, He that sowed the good seed, is the Son of man;
38 畑は世界なり、良き種は[天]國の子等なり、毒麦は惡魔の子等なり、
the field is the world: and the good seed are those who are the children of the kingdom; but the zizane are the children of the wicked one;
the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 人の子其使等を遣はし、彼等は其國より総て躓かする者と惡を為す者とを集めて、
The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity;
42 火の窯に入れん。其處には痛哭と切歯とあらん。
and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 其時義人等は父の國にて日の如く輝かん。聴く耳を有てる人は聴け。
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 天國は畑に蔵れたる寶の如し、見出せる人は之を秘し置きて喜つつ去り、其所有物を悉く売りて、其畑を購ふなり。
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field: which when a man findeth, he hideth, and for joy thereof, goeth away and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 天國は又、美き眞珠を求むる商人の如し、
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of beautiful pearls:
46 値高き眞珠一個を見出すや、往きて其所有物を悉く売りて、之を購ふなり。
who, having discovered one of vast price, went away and sold all that he possessed, and bought it.
47 天國は又、海に張りて種々の魚を集むる網の如し、
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind:
48 充ちたる時人之を引揚げ、濱に坐して良き魚を器に入れ、否き魚をば棄つるなり。
which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away.
Just so shall it be at the end of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked from amidst the just, (aiōn g165)
50 之を火の窯に入れん、其處には痛哭と切歯とあらん。
and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 汝等此事を皆暁りしか、と宣へるに、彼等然りと答へければ、
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
52 イエズス曰ひけるは、然れば天國の事を教へられたる凡ての律法學士は、新しきものと古きものとを其庫の中より出す家父に似たり、と。
They say unto him, Yes, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, the master of a family, who bringeth out of his storehouse things new and old.
53 第三款 處々への旅行。ファリザイ人の憎彌増す。 斯てイエズス此喩を宣ひ了り、其處を去りて、
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished there parables, he departed thence.
54 故郷に至り、諸會堂にて教へ給へるに、人々感嘆して云ひけるは、彼は此智恵と奇蹟とを何處より得たるぞ、
And coming into his own country, taught them in their synagogues, so that they were exceedingly struck, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these miracles?
55 彼は職人の子に非ずや、其母はマリアと呼ばれ、其兄弟はヤコボヨゼフシモンユダと呼ばるる[者等]に非ずや、
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 其姉妹も皆我等の中に居るに非ずや。然れば此凡ての事は何處より得來りしぞ、と。
and his sisters, are they not all among us? whence then hath he all these things?
57 遂に彼に関きて躓き居たりしに、イエズス曰ひけるは、預言者の敬はれざるは、唯其故郷、其家に於てのみ、と。
And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not disrespected, except in his own country, and in his own family.
58 斯て彼等の不信仰に因りて、數多の奇蹟を其處に為し給ふこと能はざりき。
And he did not there many miracles because of their unbelief.
