< マタイの福音書 5 >

1 第二款 山上の説教 イエズス群衆を見て、山に登りて坐し給ひしかば、弟子等是に近づきけるに、
THEN seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and seating himself, his disciples came to him:
2 口を開きて、彼等に教へて曰ひけるは、
and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying,
3 福なるかな心の貧しき人、天國は彼等の有なればなり。
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.
4 福なるかな柔和なる人、彼等は地を得べければなり。
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 福なるかな泣く人、彼等は慰めらるべければなり。
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 福なるかな義に飢渇く人、彼等は飽かさるべければなり。
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be fed to the full.
7 福なるかな慈悲ある人、彼等は慈悲を得べければなり。
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.
8 福なるかな心の潔き人、彼等は神を見奉るべければなり。
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 福なるかな和睦せしむる人、彼等は神の子等と稱へらるべければなり。
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 福なるかな義の為に迫害を忍ぶ人、天國は彼等の有なればなり。
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for their’s is the kingdom in heaven.
11 我が為に人々汝等を詛ひ、且迫害し、且僞りて、汝等に就きて所有る惡聲を放たん時、汝等は福なるかな、
Blessed are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and lying, speak every thing evil against you for my sake.
12 歓躍れ、其は天に於る汝等の報甚多かるべければなり。蓋汝等より先に在りし預言者等も斯く迫害せられたり。
Rejoice and exult; for plenteous is your reward in the heavens: for just so they persecuted the prophets who went before you.
13 汝等は地の塩なり、塩若其味を失はば、何を以てか是に塩せん、最早用なく、外に棄てられて人に踏まるべきのみ。
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt become insipid, with what can it be salted? it is of no farther use for any purpose, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men.
14 汝等は世の光なり。山の上に建てたる街は隠るること能はず。
Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid that is situated on an eminence.
15 人は又燈を點して枡の下に置かず、家に在る凡ての物を照らさん為に、之を燭台の上に置く。
Neither do men burn a lamp, and set it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in the house.
16 斯の如く、汝等の光は人の前に輝くべし、然らば人は汝等の善業を見て、天に在す汝等の父に光榮を歸し奉らん。
Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
17 我律法若くは預言者を廃せんとて來れりと思ふこと勿れ、廃せんとて來りしには非ず、全うせんが為なり。
Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 蓋我誠に汝等に告ぐ、天地の過ぐるまでは、律法より一點一画も廃らずして、悉く成就するに至るべし。
For I tell you assuredly, that till heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, or the smallest stroke of a letter, shall pass from the law, until all things shall be accomplished.
19 故に彼最も小き掟の一を廃し、且其儘人に教ふる者は、天國にて最小き者と稱へられん、然れど之を行ひ且教ふる者は、天國にて大なる者と稱へられん。
Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, he shall be accounted the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall practise, and teach them, he shall be reckoned great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 蓋我汝等に告ぐ、若汝等の義、律法學士ファリザイ人等の其に優るに非ずば、汝等天國に入らざるべし。
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 「殺す勿れ、殺す人は裁判せらるべし」と、古の人に云はれしは、汝等の聞ける所なり。
Ye have heard that it was said to the men of antient times, “Thou shalt do no murder;” and whosoever shall commit murder, shall be liable to the judgment:
22 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、総て其兄弟を怒る人は裁判せらるべし、其兄弟を愚者よと云ふ人は衆議所の處分を受けん、狂妄者よと云ふ人は地獄の火に當るべし。 (Geenna g1067)
but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 故に汝若禮物を祭壇に献ぐる時、其處に於て、何にもあれ兄弟に怨まるる事あるを思出さば、
If therefore thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 其禮物を其處に、祭壇の前に措き、先往きて兄弟と和睦し、然る後に來りて其禮物を献げよ。
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 汝敵手と共に途に在る中に早く和解せよ、恐らくは敵手より判事に付され、判事より下役に付され、遂に監獄に入れられん、
Be disposed to agree with thy prosecutor speedily, whilst thou art in the way with him to the bar; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the judge commit thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 我誠に汝に告ぐ、最終の一厘を還す迄は其處を出でざるべし。
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.
27 「汝姦淫する勿れ」と古の人に云はれしは汝等の聞ける所なり。
Ye have heard that it was said to those of old, “Thou shalt not commit adultery:”
28 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、総て色情を起さんとて婦を見る人は、既に心の中に之と姦淫したるなり。
but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 若汝の右の目汝を躓かさば之を抉りて棄てよ、其は汝に取りて、五體の一の亡ぶるは、全身を地獄に投入れらるるに優ればなり。 (Geenna g1067)
If then thine eye, the right, leads thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is highly for thy advantage, that one of thy members be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 若汝の右の手汝を躓かさば之を切りて棄てよ、其は汝に取りて、五體の一の亡ぶるは、全身の地獄に行くに優ればなり。 (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand leads thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is highly thy interest that one of thy members should be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 又「何人も妻を出さば是に離縁状を與ふべし」と云はれたる事あり。
It hath been said indeed, That whosoever will put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce:
32 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、総て私通の故ならで妻を出す人は、之をして姦淫せしむるなり、又出されたる婦を娶る人も姦淫するなり。
But I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except on account of whoredom, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
33 又「僞り誓ふ勿れ、誓ひたる事は主に果すべし」と古の人に云はれしは、汝等の聞ける所なり。
Again ye have heard that it was said to those of old, “Thou shalt not perjure thyself, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths:”
34 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、断じて誓ふ勿れ。天を指して[誓ふ勿れ]、其は神の玉座なればなり。
But I say to thee, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven; for it is the throne of God:
35 地を指して[誓ふ勿れ]、其は神の足台なればなり。エルザレムを指して[誓ふ勿れ]、其は大王の都なればなり。
nor by the earth; for it is the footstool of his feet: nor by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King:
36 汝の頭を指して誓ふ勿れ、其は一縷の髪だも、白く或は黒くすることを得ざればなり。
neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 汝等唯、然り然り否々と云へ、是より過ぐる所は惡より出るなり。
But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; No, no: for all addition to these is from the wicked one.
38 又「目にて目を[償ひ]、歯にて歯を[償ふべし]」と云はれしは汝等の聞ける所なり。
Ye have heard that it was said, “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth:”
39 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、惡人に抗ふ勿れ、人若し汝の頬を打たば、他の[頬]をも是に向けよ。
but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other.
40 又汝を訟へて下着を取らんとする人には上着をも渡せ。
And if a man will prosecute thee, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 又汝を強て一千歩を歩ませんとする人あらば、尚二千歩を彼と共に歩め。
And whosoever shall press thee for one mile, go with him two.
42 汝に乞ふ人に與へよ、汝に借らんとする人に身を背くること勿れ。
Give to him that asketh thee; and from him who wants to borrow of thee, turn not away.
43 「汝の近き者を愛し、汝の敵を憎むべし」と云はれしは、汝等の聞ける所なり。
Ye have heard that it hath been said, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.”
44 然れど我汝等に告ぐ、汝等の敵を愛し、汝等を憎む人を恵み、汝等を迫害し且讒謗する人の為に祈れ。
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who treat you insolently, and persecute you;
45 是天に在す汝等の父の子等たらん為なり、其は父は善人にも惡人にも日を照らし、義者にも不義者にも雨を降らし給へばなり。
that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 汝等己を愛する人を愛すればとて、何の報をか得べき、税吏も然するに非ずや。
For if ye love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same thing?
47 又己の兄弟等にのみ挨拶すればとて、何の勝れたる事をか為せる、異邦人も然するに非ずや。
And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the publicans so?
48 故に汝等の天父の完全に在す如く、汝等も亦完全なれ。
Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
