マタイの福音書 21
1 第一項 イエズスエルザレムに歓迎せられ給ふ イエズスの一行エルザレムに近づき、橄欖山の麓なるベトファゲに至りし時、イエズス二人の弟子を遣はさんとして、
And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 曰ひけるは、汝等向の邑に往け、然らば直に繋げる牝驢馬の其子と共に居るに遇はん、其を解きて我に牽來れ。
saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.
3 若人ありて汝等に語はば、主之を要すと云へ、然らば直に許すべし、と。
And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.
4 総て此事の成れるは、預言者によりて云はれし事の成就せん為なり、
But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 曰く「シオンの女に云へ、看よ汝の王柔和にして、牝驢馬と其子なる小驢馬とに乗りて汝に來る」と。
Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 弟子等往きてイエズスの命じ給ひし如くに為し、
But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,
7 牝驢馬と其子とを牽來り、己が衣服を其上に敷き、イエズスを是に乗せたるに、
brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.
8 群衆夥しく己が衣服を道に敷き、或人々は樹の枝を伐りて道に敷きたり。
But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.
9 先に立ち後に從へる群衆呼はりて、ダヴィドの裔にホザンナ。主の名によりて來るものは祝せられ給へ。最高き處までホザンナと云ひ居れり。
And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.
10 斯てイエズスエルザレムに入り給ひしに、是は抑誰なるぞ、と町挙りて動揺きけるが、
And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 人民は、是ガリレアのナザレトより出でたる預言者イエズスなり、と云ひ居れり。
And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 第二項 エルザレムに於るイエズスの所業 イエズス神殿に入り給ひて、殿内にて売買する人を悉く遂出だし、兩替屋の案と鳩売る人々の腰掛とを倒して、
And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.
13 彼等に曰ひけるは、録して「我家は祈の家と稱へらるべし」とあるに、汝等は之を強盗の巣窟と為せり、と。
And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
14 斯て瞽者跛者等、神殿にてイエズスに近づきしかば、是等を醫し給へり。
And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 然るに司祭長律法學士等、イエズスの為し給へる奇蹟と、ダヴィドの裔にホザンナと殿内に呼はる兒等とを見て憤り、
And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,
16 彼に向ひて云ひけるは、汝彼等の云ふ所を聞くや、と。イエズス是に曰ひけるは、然り「孩兒と乳兒との口に賛美を全うし給へり」とあるを汝等曾て読まざりしか、と。
and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 斯て彼等を離れ、街を出でてベタニアに往き、其處に宿り給へり。
And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.
18 明朝街に返る時飢ゑ給ひしが、
But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.
And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. (aiōn g165)
20 弟子等見て感嘆し、如何にして速に枯れたるぞ、と云ひしに、
And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!
21 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、汝等若信仰ありて躊躇せずば、啻に之を無花果樹に為すべき耳ならず、假令此山に向ひて、汝自抜けて海に入れと云ふとも亦然成らん。
And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.
22 総て祈りの中に信じて求むる事は、汝等悉く之を受けん、と。
And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 イエズス神殿に至りて教へつつ居給ひけるに、司祭長及民間の長老等、近づきて云ひけるは、汝何の権を以て是等の事を為すぞ、又誰か此権を汝に與へしぞ。
And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 イエズス答へて曰ひけるは、我も一言汝等に問はん、汝等之を語らば、我も亦何の権を以て之を行ふかを汝等に告げん。
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:
25 ヨハネの洗禮は何處よりなりしぞ、天よりか将人よりか、と。彼等相共に慮りて、
The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?
26 若天よりと云はば、何故に彼を信ぜざりしかと云はるべく、若人よりと云はば、人皆ヨハネを預言者とせると以て民衆に憚りありとし、
but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.
27 終にイエズスに答へて、我等之を知らず、と云ひしかば、イエズス亦曰ひけるは、我も何の権を以て是等の事を行ふかを汝等に告げず。
And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 汝等之を如何に思ふぞ。或人二人の子ありしが、長男に近づきて、子よ、今日我葡萄畑に往きて働け、と云ひけるに、
But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.
29 彼答へて、否と云ひしも、遂に後悔して往きたり。
And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.
30 又次男に近づきて同じ様に云ひけるに、彼答へて、父よ我往く、と云ひしも遂に往かざりき。
And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not.
31 此二人の中孰か父の旨を成したるぞ、と。彼等長男なりと云ひしかば、イエズス曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、税吏と娼妓とは汝等よりも先に神の國に入らん。
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 其はヨハネ義の道を以て汝等に來りしに、汝等彼を信ぜず、税吏と娼妓とは却て彼を信じたりしを、汝等之を見ても猶後悔せず、終に彼を信ぜざりければなり。
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but ye when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.
33 又一の喩を聞け、或家父葡萄畑を作りて籬を繞らし、中に酪穴を堀り、物見台を建て、之を小作人等に貸して遠方へ旅立ちしが、
Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
34 果時近づきしかば、其果を受取らせんとて、僕等を小作人の許に遣はししに、
But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 小作人其僕を捕へて、一人を殴ち、一人を殺し、一人に石を投付けたり。
And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 更に他の僕等を先よりも多く遣はししに、彼等之をも同じ様に遇へり。
Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
37 終に、我子をば敬ふならんとて、其子を遣はししに、
And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.
38 小作人此子を見て語合ひけるは、是相続人なり、來れかし之を殺さん、而して我等其家督を獲ん、と。
But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.
39 斯て其子を捕へ、葡萄畑より逐出して殺せり。
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 然れば葡萄畑の主來らん時、此小作人等を如何に處置すべきか。
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?
41 彼等云ひけるは、惡人を容赦なく亡ぼし、季節に果を納むる他の小作人に其葡萄畑を貸さん。
They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、汝等曾て聖書に於て読まざりしか、「家を建つるに棄てられたる石は隅の首石となれり、是主の為し給へる事にて、我等の目には不思議なり」とあり。
Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
43 然れば我汝等に告ぐ、神の國は汝等より奪はれ、其果を結ぶ人民に與へらるべし。
Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
44 凡此石の上に墜つる人は砕けん、又此石誰の上に隕つるも之を微塵にせん、と。
And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 司祭長ファリザイ人等イエズスの喩を聞きて、其己等を斥して曰へるを暁り、
And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.
46 之を捕へんと謀りしが、群衆彼を預言者とせるを以て之を懼れたり。
And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.
