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 nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage to 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, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring 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 man say aught to you, ye shall tell them, That the Lord hath need of them, and immediately 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、
Now this was entirely done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, 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。
“Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting on an ass, even on a foal the ass’s colt.”
6 弟子等往きてイエズスの命じ給ひし如くに為し、
Then the disciples going, and doing as Jesus had commanded 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 her foal, and they spread over them their garments, and seated him upon 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。
And a vast multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them on the road:
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 multitudes who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna, to the son of David; blessed is he who cometh 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 when he was entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, 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。
Then the multitudes 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 those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold 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 said unto 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。
Then the blind and the lame came unto him, into the temple, and he cured 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、
But when the chief priests and scribes saw the marvellous acts which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were filled with indignation;
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? Jesus replied to them, Yes; but have ye never read, “That out of the mouths of infants 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 turning his back upon them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 明朝街に返る時飢ゑ給ひしが、
Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry:
and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away. (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 his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away!
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。
But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done.
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 was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, as he was teaching, demanding, 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。
Then Jesus answering, said to them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye answer me, then will I 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? from heaven, or from men? Hereupon they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe 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 say, From men, we are afraid of the populace, for they all hold John as 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。
So they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. Then said he also to them, Neither tell I 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 sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.
29 彼答へて、否と云ひしも、遂に後悔して往きたり。
But he answering said, I will not: yet repenting afterwards, 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 other, he spake after the same manner, and he replying, said, I go, sir; yet 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 his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say unto you, That tax-gatherers and harlots shall go before you into the kingdom of God.
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 unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the tax-gatherers and harlots believed on him. But ye, when ye saw it, repented not afterwards, that ye should believe on 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 certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant 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 season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants 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 servants, one they beat, and another they killed, and a third they stoned.
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 servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner.
37 終に、我子をば敬ふならんとて、其子を遣はししに、
Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence 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, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the 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 out of the vineyard, and slew 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 master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these 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 unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will 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 saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, “The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by 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 tell you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation, producing the fruits thereof.
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 whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken in pieces, 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 when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking concerning 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 they sought to apprehend him; but were afraid of the people, for they held him as a prophet.
