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, 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 m the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt 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 one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and he will immediately 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 took place, that it 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 riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.”
6 弟子等往きてイエズスの命じ給ひし如くに為し、
And the disciples o went, and did as Jesus bade 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、
and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, 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。
And very many of the multitude spread their garments in the road; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in 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 that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
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 came 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。
And the multitudes said, This is the prophet Jesus, 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 went 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 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 said to them, It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye make 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 the blind and lame came to him in 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 the chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the wonderful things which he did, and the children that were crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased;
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, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, “From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare 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 he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 明朝街に返る時飢ゑ給ひしが、
And in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
And seeing one fig-tree by the road-side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only; and he saith to it, Let there be no fruit from thee hencefoward for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (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 the disciples seeing it, marveled, saying, How suddenly did the fig-tree wither!
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。
Jesus answering said to them, Truly do I say to you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what hath been done to the fig-tree, but should ye even say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it would 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 whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye will 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 had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, 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 question; which if ye answer me, I too 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? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, 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 fear the multitude; for all regard 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。
And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And he 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 sons: he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work today in the vineyard.
29 彼答へて、否と云ひしも、遂に後悔して往きたり。
And he answered and said, I will not. Afterward he repented, and 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 he came to the other and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, 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 his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly do I say to you, that the publicans 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 as a preacher of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, did not afterward repent, that ye might 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 set a hedge about it, and dug in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
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、
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might 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, and beat one, and 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 servants more than the first; and they dealt with 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、
And afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect 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 get 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 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 cometh, what will 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 bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.
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 to them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone; from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous 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 will be taken away from you, and given to a nation yielding 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。
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 when they heard his parables, knew that he was speaking of 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 seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.
