ルカの福音書 10
1 その後、主は、別に七十人を定め、ご自分が行くつもりのすべての町や村へ、ふたりずつ先にお遣わしになった。
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 そして、彼らに言われた。「実りは多いが、働き手が少ない。だから、収穫の主に、収穫のために働き手を送ってくださるように祈りなさい。
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 さあ、行きなさい。いいですか。わたしがあなたがたを遣わすのは、狼の中に小羊を送り出すようなものです。
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 財布も旅行袋も持たず、くつもはかずに行きなさい。だれにも、道であいさつしてはいけません。
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 どんな家にはいっても、まず、『この家に平安があるように。』と言いなさい。
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 もしそこに平安の子がいたら、あなたがたの祈った平安は、その人の上にとどまります。だが、もしいないなら、その平安はあなたがたに返って来ます。
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 その家に泊まっていて、出してくれる物を飲み食いしなさい。働く者が報酬を受けるのは、当然だからです。家から家へと渡り歩いてはいけません。
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
8 どの町にはいっても、あなたがたを受け入れてくれたら、出される物を食べなさい。
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 そして、その町の病人を直し、彼らに、『神の国が、あなたがたに近づいた。』と言いなさい。
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 しかし、町にはいっても、人々があなたがたを受け入れないならば、大通りに出て、こう言いなさい。
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 『私たちは足についたこの町のちりも、あなたがたにぬぐい捨てて行きます。しかし、神の国が近づいたことは承知していなさい。』
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 あなたがたに言うが、その日には、その町よりもソドムのほうがまだ罰が軽いのです。
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 ああコラジン。ああベツサイダ。おまえたちの間に起こった力あるわざが、もしもツロとシドンでなされたのだったら、彼らはとうの昔に荒布をまとい、灰の中にすわって、悔い改めていただろう。
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 しかし、さばきの日には、そのツロとシドンのほうが、まだおまえたちより罰が軽いのだ。
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 あなたがたに耳を傾ける者は、わたしに耳を傾ける者であり、あなたがたを拒む者は、わたしを拒む者です。わたしを拒む者は、わたしを遣わされた方を拒む者です。」
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 さて、七十人が喜んで帰って来て、こう言った。「主よ。あなたの御名を使うと、悪霊どもでさえ、私たちに服従します。」
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 イエスは言われた。「わたしが見ていると、サタンが、いなずまのように天から落ちました。
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 確かに、わたしは、あなたがたに、蛇やさそりを踏みつけ、敵のあらゆる力に打ち勝つ権威を授けたのです。だから、あなたがたに害を加えるものは何一つありません。
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 だがしかし、悪霊どもがあなたがたに服従するからといって、喜んではなりません。ただあなたがたの名が天に書きしるされていることを喜びなさい。」
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 ちょうどこのとき、イエスは、聖霊によって喜びにあふれて言われた。「天地の主であられる父よ。あなたをほめたたえます。これらのことを、賢い者や知恵のある者には隠して、幼子たちに現わしてくださいました。そうです、父よ。これがみこころにかなったことでした。
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 すべてのものが、わたしの父から、わたしに渡されています。それで、子がだれであるかは、父のほかには知る者がありません。また父がだれであるかは、子と、子が父を知らせようと心に定めた人たちのほかは、だれも知る者がありません。」
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 それからイエスは、弟子たちのほうに向いて、ひそかに言われた。「あなたがたの見ていることを見る目は幸いです。
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 あなたがたに言いますが、多くの預言者や王たちがあなたがたの見ていることを見たいと願ったのに、見られなかったのです。また、あなたがたの聞いていることを聞きたいと願ったのに、聞けなかったのです。」
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 イエスは言われた。「律法には、何と書いてありますか。あなたはどう読んでいますか。」
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 すると彼は答えて言った。「『心を尽くし、思いを尽くし、力を尽くし、知性を尽くして、あなたの神である主を愛せよ。』また『あなたの隣人をあなた自身のように愛せよ。』とあります。」
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 イエスは言われた。「そのとおりです。それを実行しなさい。そうすれば、いのちを得ます。」
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 しかし彼は、自分の正しさを示そうとしてイエスに言った。「では、私の隣人とは、だれのことですか。」
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 イエスは答えて言われた。 「ある人が、エルサレムからエリコへ下る道で、強盗に襲われた。強盗どもは、その人の着物をはぎ取り、なぐりつけ、半殺しにして逃げて行った。
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 たまたま、祭司がひとり、その道を下って来たが、彼を見ると、反対側を通り過ぎて行った。
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 同じようにレビ人も、その場所に来て彼を見ると、反対側を通り過ぎて行った。
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 ところが、あるサマリヤ人が、旅の途中、そこに来合わせ、彼を見てかわいそうに思い、
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 近寄って傷にオリーブ油とぶどう酒を注いで、ほうたいをし、自分の家畜に乗せて宿屋に連れて行き、介抱してやった。
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 次の日、彼はデナリ二つを取り出し、宿屋の主人に渡して言った。『介抱してあげてください。もっと費用がかかったら、私が帰りに払います。』
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 この三人の中でだれが、強盗に襲われた者の隣人になったと思いますか。」
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 彼は言った。「その人にあわれみをかけてやった人です。」するとイエスは言われた。「あなたも行って同じようにしなさい。」
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 さて、彼らが旅を続けているうち、イエスがある村にはいられると、マルタという女が喜んで家にお迎えした。
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 彼女にマリヤという妹がいたが、主の足もとにすわって、みことばに聞き入っていた。
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 ところが、マルタは、いろいろともてなしのために気が落ち着かず、みもとに来て言った。「主よ。妹が私だけにおもてなしをさせているのを、何ともお思いにならないのでしょうか。私の手伝いをするように、妹におっしゃってください。」
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 主は答えて言われた。「マルタ、マルタ。あなたは、いろいろなことを心配して、気を使っています。
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 しかし、どうしても必要なことはわずかです。いや、一つだけです。マリヤはその良いほうを選んだのです。彼女からそれを取り上げてはいけません。」
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
