マタイの福音書 6
1 人に見られんとて人の前に汝等の義を為さざる様慎め。然らずば天に在す汝等の父の御前に報を得じ。
“Be careful not to do your charitable giving before the people so as to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
2 然れば施を為すに當りて、僞善者が人に尊ばれんとて會堂及衢に為す如く、己が前に喇叭を吹くこと勿れ。我誠に汝等に告ぐ、彼等は既に其報を受けたり。
Therefore, whenever you do charitable giving do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
3 汝が施を為すに當りて、右の手の為す所、左の手之を知るべからず。
But when you do charitable giving do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 是汝の施の隠れん為なり。然らば隠れたるに見給ふ汝の父は汝に報い給ふべし。
so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
5 又祈る時僞善者の如く為ること勿れ。彼等は人に見られんとて會堂に衢の隅に立ちて祈る事を好む。我誠に汝等に告ぐ、彼等は既に其報を受けたり。
And whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
6 汝は祈るに己が室に入りて戸を閉ぢ、隠れたるに在りて汝の父に祈れ、然らば隠れたるに見給ふ汝の父は汝に報い給ふべし。
But you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.
7 又祈るに異邦人の如く繰言を為すこと勿れ、彼等は言の多きに由りて聴容れられんと思ふなり。
“But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 故に彼等に倣ふこと勿れ、其は汝等の父は、汝等の願はざる前に其要する所を知り給へばなり。
So do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 然れば汝等斯く祈るべし。天に在す我等の父よ、願はくは御名の聖と為られん事を、
Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
10 御國の來らん事を、御旨の天に行はるる如く地にも行はれん事を。
let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
11 我等の日用の糧を今日我等に與へ給へ。
Give us today our daily bread;
12 我等が己に負債ある人を赦す如く、我等の負債をも赦し給へ。
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 我等を試に引き給ふことなく、却て惡より救ひ給へ、（アメン）と。
And do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
14 蓋汝等若人の罪を赦さば、汝等の天父も汝等の罪を赦し給ふべく、
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 汝等若人を赦さずば、汝等の父も汝等の罪を赦し給はざるべし。
But if you do not forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 汝等断食する時、僞善者の如く悲しき容を為すこと勿れ。即彼等は、断食する者と人に見えん為に其顔色を損ふなり。我誠に汝等に告ぐ、彼等は既に其報を受けたり。
“Also, whenever you fast do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, because they disfigure their faces so that people will notice that they are fasting. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
17 汝は断食する時、頭に膏を附け且顔を洗へ、
But when you fast anoint your head and wash your face,
18 是断食する者と人に見えずして、隠れたるに在す汝の父に見えん為なり、然らば隠れたるに見給ふ汝の父は汝に報い給ふべし。
so that you do not appear to the people to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
19 汝等己の為に寳を地に蓄ふること勿れ、此處には錆と蠹と喰ひ壊り、盗人穿ちて盗むなり。
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal;
20 汝等己の為に寳を天に蓄へよ、彼處には錆も蠹も壊らず、盗人穿たず盗まざるなり。
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
21 其は汝の寳の在る處に心も亦在ればなり。
because where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
22 汝の身の燈は目なり。若し汝の目清くば全身明にならん、
“The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 汝の目惡くば全身暗からん。然れば汝の身に在る光すら暗黒ならば、暗黒其物は如何あるべきぞ。
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 誰も二人の主に兼事ふる事能はず、其は或は一人を憎みて一人を愛し、或は一人に從ひて一人を疎むべければなり。汝等は神と富とに兼事ふる事能はず、
“No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
25 故に我汝等に告ぐ、生命の為に何を食ひ、身の為に何を着んかと思煩ふ勿れ、生命は食物に優り、身は衣服に優るに非ずや。
Therefore, I say to you not to worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 空の鳥を見よ、彼等は撒く事なく、刈る事なく、倉に収むる事なきに、汝等の天父は之を養ひ給ふ、汝等は是よりも遥に優れるに非ずや。
Look at the birds of the air, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
27 汝等の中誰か、思煩ひて其生命に一肘だも加ふる事を得る。
And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
28 又何とて衣服の為に思煩ふや、野の百合の如何にして育つかを看よ、働く事なく紡ぐ事なし、
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
29 然れども我汝等に告ぐ、サロモンだも、其榮華の極に於て、此百合の一ほどに装はざりき。
and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
30 今日在りて明日炉に投入れらるる野の草をさへ、神は斯く装はせ給へば、况や汝等をや、信仰薄き者よ、
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?
31 然れば汝等は、我等何を食ひ何を飲み何を着んかと云ひて思煩ふこと勿れ、
Therefore do not worry saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 是皆異邦人の求むる所にして、汝等の天父は、是等の物皆汝等に要あるを知り給へばなり。
For the pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
33 故に先神の國と其義とを求めよ、然らば是等の物皆汝等に加へらるべし。
Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 然れば明日の為に思煩ふこと勿れ、明日は明日自、己の為に思煩はん、其日は其日の勞苦にて足れり。
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
