ルカの福音書 23
1 そこで、彼らは全員が立ち上がり、イエスをピラトのもとに連れて行った。
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 そしてイエスについて訴え始めた。彼らは言った。「この人はわが国民を惑わし、カイザルに税金を納めることを禁じ、自分は王キリストだと言っていることがわかりました。」
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 するとピラトはイエスに、「あなたは、ユダヤ人の王ですか。」と尋ねた。イエスは答えて、「そのとおりです。」と言われた。
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 ピラトは祭司長たちや群衆に、「この人には何の罪も見つからない。」と言った。
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 しかし彼らはあくまで言い張って、「この人は、ガリラヤからここまで、ユダヤ全土で教えながら、この民を扇動しているのです。」と言った。
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 それを聞いたピラトは、この人はガリラヤ人かと尋ねて、
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 ヘロデの支配下にあるとわかると、イエスをヘロデのところに送った。ヘロデもそのころエルサレムにいたからである。
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 ヘロデはイエスを見ると非常に喜んだ。ずっと前からイエスのことを聞いていたので、イエスに会いたいと思っていたし、イエスの行なう何かの奇蹟を見たいと考えていたからである。
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 それで、いろいろと質問したが、イエスは彼に何もお答えにならなかった。
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 祭司長たちと律法学者たちは立って、イエスを激しく訴えていた。
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 ヘロデは、自分の兵士たちといっしょにイエスを侮辱したり嘲弄したりしたあげく、はでな衣を着せて、ピラトに送り返した。
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 この日、ヘロデとピラトは仲よくなった。それまでは互いに敵対していたのである。
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 ピラトは祭司長たちと指導者たちと民衆とを呼び集め、
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 こう言った。「あなたがたは、この人を、民衆を惑わす者として、私のところに連れて来たけれども、私があなたがたの前で取り調べたところ、あなたがたが訴えているような罪は別に何も見つかりません。
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 ヘロデとても同じです。彼は私たちにこの人を送り返しました。見なさい。この人は、死罪に当たることは、何一つしていません。
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 だから私は、懲らしめたうえで、釈放します。」
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 しかし彼らは、声をそろえて叫んだ。「この人を除け。バラバを釈放しろ。」
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 バラバとは、都に起こった暴動と人殺しのかどで、牢にはいっていた者である。
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 ピラトは、イエスを釈放しようと思って、彼らに、もう一度呼びかけた。
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 しかし、彼らは叫び続けて、「十字架だ。十字架につけろ。」と言った。
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 しかしピラトは三度目に彼らにこう言った。「あの人がどんな悪いことをしたというのか。あの人には、死に当たる罪は、何も見つかりません。だから私は、懲らしめたうえで、釈放します。」
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 ところが、彼らはあくまで主張し続け、十字架につけるよう大声で要求した。そしてついにその声が勝った。
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 ピラトは、彼らの要求どおりにすることを宣告した。
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 すなわち、暴動と人殺しのかどで牢にはいっていた男を願いどおりに釈放し、イエスを彼らに引き渡して好きなようにさせた。
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 彼らは、イエスを引いて行く途中、いなかから出て来たシモンというクレネ人をつかまえ、この人に十字架を負わせてイエスのうしろから運ばせた。
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 大ぜいの民衆やイエスのことを嘆き悲しむ女たちの群れが、イエスのあとについて行った。
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 しかしイエスは、女たちのほうに向いて、こう言われた。「エルサレムの娘たち。わたしのことで泣いてはいけない。むしろ自分自身と、自分の子どもたちのことのために泣きなさい。
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 なぜなら人々が、『不妊の女、子を産んだことのない胎、飲ませたことのない乳房は、幸いだ。』と言う日が来るのですから。
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 そのとき、人々は山に向かって、『われわれの上に倒れかかってくれ。』と言い、丘に向かって、『われわれをおおってくれ。』と言い始めます。
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 彼らが生木にこのようなことをするのなら、枯れ木には、いったい、何が起こるでしょう。」
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 ほかにもふたりの犯罪人が、イエスとともに死刑にされるために、引かれて行った。
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 「どくろ」と呼ばれている所に来ると、そこで彼らは、イエスと犯罪人とを十字架につけた。犯罪人のひとりは右に、ひとりは左に。
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 そのとき、イエスはこう言われた。「父よ。彼らをお赦しください。彼らは、何をしているのか自分でわからないのです。」彼らは、くじを引いて、イエスの着物を分けた。
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 民衆はそばに立ってながめていた。指導者たちもあざ笑って言った。「あれは他人を救った。もし、神のキリストで、選ばれた者なら、自分を救ってみろ。」
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 兵士たちもイエスをあざけり、そばに寄って来て、酸いぶどう酒を差し出し、
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 「ユダヤ人の王なら、自分を救え。」と言った。
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 「これはユダヤ人の王。」と書いた札もイエスの頭上に掲げてあった。
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 十字架にかけられていた犯罪人のひとりはイエスに悪口を言い、「あなたはキリストではないか。自分と私たちを救え。」と言った。
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 ところが、もうひとりのほうが答えて、彼をたしなめて言った。「おまえは神をも恐れないのか。おまえも同じ刑罰を受けているではないか。
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 われわれは、自分のしたことの報いを受けているのだからあたりまえだ。だがこの方は、悪いことは何もしなかったのだ。」
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 そして言った。「イエスさま。あなたの御国の位にお着きになるときには、私を思い出してください。」
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 イエスは、彼に言われた。「まことに、あなたに告げます。あなたはきょう、わたしとともにパラダイスにいます。」
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 そのときすでに十二時ごろになっていたが、全地が暗くなって、三時まで続いた。
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 太陽は光を失っていた。また、神殿の幕は真二つに裂けた。
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 イエスは大声で叫んで、言われた。「父よ。わが霊を御手にゆだねます。」こう言って、息を引き取られた。
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 この出来事を見た百人隊長は、神をほめたたえ、「ほんとうに、この人は正しい方であった。」と言った。
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 また、この光景を見に集まっていた群衆もみな、こういういろいろの出来事を見たので、胸をたたいて悲しみながら帰った。
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 しかし、イエスの知人たちと、ガリラヤからイエスについて来ていた女たちとはみな、遠く離れて立ち、これらのことを見ていた。
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 さてここに、ヨセフという、議員のひとりで、りっぱな、正しい人がいた。
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 この人は議員たちの計画や行動には同意しなかった。彼は、アリマタヤというユダヤ人の町の人で、神の国を待ち望んでいた。
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 この人が、ピラトのところに行って、イエスのからだの下げ渡しを願った。
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 それから、イエスを取り降ろして、亜麻布で包み、そして、まだだれをも葬ったことのない、岩に掘られた墓にイエスを納めた。
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 この日は準備の日で、もう安息日が始まろうとしていた。
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 ガリラヤからイエスといっしょに出て来た女たちは、ヨセフについて行って、墓と、イエスのからだの納められる様子を見届けた。
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 そして、戻って来て、香料と香油を用意した。 安息日には、戒めに従って、休んだが、
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
