Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
其時夥しき群衆、周圍に立ち居て踏合ふ計なるに、イエズス弟子等に語出で給ひけるは、ファリザイ人等の麪酵に用心せよ、是僞善なり。
2 But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
蔽はれたる事に顕れざるべきはなく、隠れたる事に知れざるべきはなし、
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
其は汝等の暗黒にて言ひし事は光明に言はれ、室内にて囁きし事は屋根にて宣べらるべければなり。
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
然れば我わが友たる汝等に告ぐ、肉體を殺して其後に何をも為し得ざる者を懼るること勿れ。
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
爰に汝等の懼るべき者を示さん、即ち殺したる後地獄に投入るる権能ある者を懼れよ、然り、我汝等に告ぐ、之を懼れよ。 (Geenna g1067)
6 “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
五羽の雀は四銭にて売るに非ずや、然るに其一羽も、神の御前に忘れらるる事なし。
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
汝等の髪毛すら皆算へられたり、故に懼るること勿れ、汝等は多くの雀に優れり。
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;
我汝等に告ぐ、総て人々の前にて我を宣言する者は、人の子も亦神の使等の前にて之を宣言せん。
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.
然れど人々の前にて我を否む者は、神の使等の前にて否まるべし。
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
又総て人の子を譏る人は赦されん、然れど聖霊に對して冒涜したる人は赦されじ。
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;
人々汝等を會堂に、或は官吏、権力者の前に引かん時、如何に又は何を答へ、又は何を言はんかと思煩ふこと勿れ、
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
言ふべき事は、其時に當りて、聖霊汝等に教へ給ふべければなり、と。
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
斯て群衆の中より、或人イエズスに向ひ、師よ、我兄弟に命じて、家督を我と共に分たしめ給へ、と云ひしかば、
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
イエズス之に曰ひけるは、人よ、汝等の上の判事又は分配者として、誰か我を定めしぞ、と。
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
斯て人々に曰ひけるは、慎みて凡ての貪欲に用心せよ、其は人の生命は所有物の豊なるに因らざればなり、と。
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
又彼等に喩を語りて曰ひけるは、或富者の畑豊かに實りければ、
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
其人心の中に考へけるは、我産物を積むべき處なきを如何にせんと。
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
遂に謂へらく、我は斯為べし、即ち我倉を毀ち、更に大いなる物を建てて、其處に我産物と財貨とを積まん、
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
而して我魂に向ひ、魂よ、多年の用意に蓄へたる財産數多あれば、心を安んじ、飲食して樂しめ、と言はん、と。
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’
然れど神は彼に曰はく、愚者よ、汝の魂は今夜呼還されんとす、然らば備へたる物は誰が物と為るべきぞ、と。
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
己の為に寳を積みて、神の御前に富まざる人は斯の如き者なり、と。
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
又弟子等に曰ひけるは、然れば我汝等に告ぐ、生命の為に何をか食ひ身の為に何をか着ん、と思煩ふこと勿れ、
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
生命は食物に優り、身は衣服に優れり。
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
烏を鑑みよ、播く事なく刈る事なく、倉をも納屋をも有たざれども、神は之を養ひ給ふなり、汝等烏に優ること幾何ぞや。
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?
汝等の中誰か工夫して己が寿命に一肘だも加ふることを得んや、
26 If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
然れば斯く最小き事すらも能はざるに、何ぞ其他の事を思煩ふや。
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
百合の如何に長つかを鑑みよ。働く事なく紡ぐ事なし、然れども我汝等に言う、サロモンだも其榮華の極に於て、彼百合の一ほどに粧はざりき。
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
今日野に在りて明日炉に投入れらるる草をさへ、神は斯く粧はせ給へば、况や汝等をや、信仰薄き者等哉。
29 “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
汝等も、何をか食ひ何をか飲まんと求むること勿れ、又大望を起すこと勿れ、
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.
蓋世の異邦人は、此一切の物を求むれども、汝等の父は汝等の之を要することを知り給へばなり。
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
然れば先神の國と、其義とを求めよ、然らば此一切の物は汝等に加へらるべし。
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
小き群よ、懼るること勿れ、汝等に國を賜ふ事は、汝等の父の御意に適ひたればなり。
33 Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
汝等の所有物を売りて施を行へ、己の為に古びざる金嚢を造り、匱きざる寳を天に蓄へよ、彼處には盗人も近づかず、蠹も壊はざるなり。
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
是汝等の寳の在る處には、心も亦在るべければなり。
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
汝等腰に帯して手に燈あるべし。
36 Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
又恰も、主人婚莚より還來りて門を叩かば直に開かん、と待受くる人の如くに為よ。
37 Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.
主人の來る時に醒めたるを見らるる僕等は福なり、我誠に汝等に告ぐ、主人自ら帯して此僕等を食に就かせ、通ひて彼等に給仕せん。
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.
主人十二時までに來るも三時までに來るも、僕等の斯の如きを見ば、彼等は福なり。
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
汝等知るべし、家父若盗人の來るべき時を知らば必ず警戒して其家を穿たしめじ。
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
汝等も亦用意してあれ、人の子は汝等の思はざる時に來るべければなり、と。
41 Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
ペトロ、イエズスに向ひ、主よ、此喩を曰ふは、我等の為にか、凡ての人の為にもか、と云ひしかば、
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
主曰ひけるは、時に應じて家族に麦を程よく分與へしめんとて、戸主が其家族の上に立つる、忠義にして敏き執事は誰なるか、
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
主人の來る時に斯く行へるを見らるる僕は福なり。
44 Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
我誠に汝等に告ぐ、主人は己が有てる一切の物を之に掌らしめん。
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,
もし彼僕心の中に、我主人の來る事遅しと謂ひて、下男、下女を打擲き、飲食して酔始めんか、
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
期せざる日、知らざる時に、彼僕の主人來りて之を罰し、其報を不忠者と同じくせん。
47 That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
又其主人の意を知りて用意せず、主人の意に從ひて行はざる僕は、鞭たるる事多からん。
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
然れども、知らずして鞭たるべき事を為したる者は、打たるる事少かるべし、総て多く與へられたる人は多く求められ、委托したる事多ければ催促する事も多かるべし。
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
我は地上に火を放たんとて來れり、其燃ゆる外には何をか望まん。
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
然るに我には我が受くべき洗禮あり、其が為遂げらるるまで、我が思逼れる事如何許ぞや。
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
汝等は、我地上に平和を持來れりと思ふか、我汝等に告ぐ、否却つて分離なり。
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
蓋今より後、一家に五人あらば、三人は二人に、二人は三人に對して分れん、
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
即ち父は子に、子は父に、母は女に、女は母に、姑は嫁に、嫁は姑に對して分るる事あらん、と。
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
イエズス又群衆に曰ひけるは、汝等西より雲起るを見れば直に雨來らんと謂ふ、既にして果して然り。
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
又南風吹くを見れば暑くなるべしと謂ふ、既にして果して然り。
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
僞善者よ、汝等は天地の有様を見分くる事を知れるに、如何ぞ今の時を見分けざる、
57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
如何ぞ義しき事を自ら見定めざる。
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
汝等敵手と共に官吏の許に往く時、途中にて彼に赦されん事を力めよ。恐らくは汝を判事の許に引き、判事は下役に付し、下役は監獄に入れん、
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”
我汝に告ぐ、最終の一厘までも還さざる中は、汝其處を出でざるべし、と。
