< マタイの福音書 8 >

1 第三款 ガリレアに於る種々の奇蹟 イエズス山を下り給ひしに、群衆夥しく從ひしが、
And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 折しも、一人の癩病者來り、拝して云ひけるは、主よ、思召ならば我を潔くすることを得給ふ、と。
And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
3 イエズス、手を伸べて彼に触れ、我意なり潔くなれ、と曰ひければ、其癩病直に潔くなれり。
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 イエズス之に曰ひけるは、慎みて人に語る勿れ、但往きて己を司祭に見せ、彼等への證據として、モイゼの命ぜし禮物を献げよ、と。
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5 斯てイエズスカファルナウムに入り給ひしが、百夫長近づきて、
And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,
6 願ひて云ひけるは、主よ、我僕癱瘋にて家に臥し、甚く苦しめり、と。
and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
7 イエズス、我往きて其を醫さん、と曰ひしかば、
And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8 百夫長答へて云ひけるは、主よ、我は不肖にして、主の我屋根の下に入り給ふに足らず、唯一言にて命じ給へ、然らば我僕痊えん。
And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 蓋我も人の権下に立つ者ながら、部下に兵卒ありて、此に往けと云へば往き、彼に來れ[と云へば]來り、又我僕に是を為せ[と云へば]為すなり、と。
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10 イエズス之を聞きて感嘆し、從へる者に曰ひけるは、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、イスラエルの中にても、斯程の信仰に遇ひし事なし。
And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.
11 我汝等に告ぐ、多くの人東西より來りて、アブラハムイザアクヤコブと共に天國に坐せん、
And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
12 然れど國の子等は外の暗に逐出されん、其處には痛哭と切歯とあらん、と。
but the children of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
13 斯てイエズス百夫長に向ひ、往け、汝の信ぜし如く汝に成れ、と曰ひければ僕即時に痊えたり。
And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed in that hour.
14 イエズスペトロの家に入り給ひて、彼が姑の熱を病みて臥せるを見、
And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
15 其手に触れ給ひしかば、熱其身を去り、起きて彼等に給仕したり。
So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.
16 日暮れて後、人々惡魔に憑かれたる者を多く差出ししが、イエズス惡魔を一言にて逐払い、病者をも悉く醫し給へり。
And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;
17 是預言者イザヤによりて云はれし事の成就せん為なり、曰く「彼は我等の患を受け、我等の病を負ひ給へり」と。
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."
18 イエズス周圍に群衆の夥しきを見て、湖の彼方へ往かん事を命じ給ひしかば、
Now when Jesus saw large crowds around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 一人の律法學士近づきて、師よ、何處へ往き給ふとも我は從はん、と云ひしに、
Then a scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 イエズス是に曰ひけるは、狐は穴あり空の鳥は巣あり、然れど人の子は枕する處なし、と。
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
21 又弟子の一人、主よ、我が先往きて父を葬る事を允し給へ、と云ひしに、
And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 イエズス曰ひけるは、我に從へ、死人をして其死人を葬らしめよ、と。
But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 イエズス小舟に乗り給ひ、弟子等之に從ひしが、
And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 折しも湖に大なる暴嵐起りて、小舟涛に蔽はるる程なるに、イエズスは眠り居給へり。
And look, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 弟子等近づきて之を起し、主よ、我等を救ひ給へ、我等亡ぶ、と云ひければ、
They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."
26 イエズス彼等に曰ひけるは、何ぞ怖るるや、信仰薄き者よ、と。即起て風と湖とを戒め給ひしに、大凪となれり。
And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 斯て人々感嘆して、是は何人ぞや、風も湖も是に從ふよ、と云へり。
And the men were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
28 イエズス湖の彼方なるゲラサ人の地に至り給ひしに、惡魔に憑かれたる者二人、墓より出でて迎へ來れり。豫てより其猛き事甚しく、誰も其途を過ぎ得ざる程なりしが、
And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29 忽叫びて云ひけるは、神の御子イエズスよ、我等と汝と何の関係かあらん、期未至らざるに、我等を苦しめんとて此處に來り給へるか、と。
And look, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30 然るに彼等を距る事遠からぬ處に、多くの豚の群物喰ひ居ければ、
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 惡魔等イエズスに願ひて云ひけるは、若我等を此處より逐払い給はば、豚の群の中に遣り給へ、と。
And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
32 イエズス彼等に、往け、と曰ひしかば、彼等出でて豚に憑き、見る見る群皆遽しく、崖より湖に飛入りて水に死せり。
And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the pigs, and look, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
33 牧者等逃げて町に至り、一切の事と惡魔に憑かれたりし人々の事とを吹聴せしかば、
And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34 直に町挙りてイエズスを出迎へ、是を見るや其境を過ぎ給はん事を乞へり。
And look, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
