1徴税人や罪人たちが皆、イエスの話を聞こうと近寄って来た。
1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2パリサイ人たちと律法学者たちはつぶやいた。「この人は罪人たちを迎え、一緒に食事をしている。」
2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3イエスは彼らにこのたとえを語った。
3He told them this parable:
4「あなたがたのうち、百匹の羊を持っていて、その一匹を失った人は、九十九匹を荒野に残し、見つけるまで失った一匹を捜しに行くではないか。
4“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5見つけると、喜んで肩に担ぎ、
5When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6家に帰って友人や近所の人を呼び集め、『一緒に喜んでください。失った羊を見つけました』と言う。
6When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
7あなたがたに告げる。同じように、悔い改める必要のない九十九人の義人より、悔い改める一人の罪人のために、天では大きな喜びがある。
7I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8「また、十枚のドラクマ硬貨 を持つ女が一枚を失ったら、明かりをともして家を掃き、見つけるまで念入りに捜すではないか。
8“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9見つけると、友人や近所の女たちを呼び集め、『一緒に喜んでください。失ったドラクマ硬貨を見つけました』と言う。
9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
10あなたがたに告げる。同じように、一人の罪人が悔い改めると、神の御使いたちの前で喜びがある。」
10Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
11また言った。 「ある人に二人の息子がいた。
11He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12弟が父に言った。『お父さん、財産のうち私の取り分をください。』そこで父は財産を二人に分けた。
12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
13何日もたたないうちに、弟はすべてをまとめて遠い国へ旅立ち、そこで放蕩な暮らしをして財産を使い果たした。
13Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14何もかも使い果たした時、その国に激しい飢饉が起こり、彼は困窮し始めた。
14When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15そこでその国の住民の一人のもとへ行って身を寄せると、その人は彼を畑に送り、豚の世話をさせた。
15He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16彼は豚の食べるさやで腹を満たしたいと願ったが、だれも何もくれなかった。
16He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17彼は我に返って言った。『父の雇い人は大勢いて、パンがあり余っているのに、私はここで飢え死にしようとしている。
17But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
18立って父の所へ行き、こう言おう。「お父さん、私は天に対しても、あなたの前でも罪を犯しました。
18I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
19もう息子と呼ばれる資格はありません。雇い人の一人にしてください。」』
19I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
20「彼は立って父のもとへ向かった。まだ遠く離れていたのに、父は彼を見て、深くあわれんで走り寄り、首を抱いて口づけした。
20“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21息子は言った。『お父さん、私は天に対しても、あなたの前でも罪を犯しました。もう息子と呼ばれる資格はありません。』
21The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22「しかし父はしもべたちに言った。『一番良い衣を急いで持って来て着せ、手に指輪をはめ、足に履物を履かせなさい。
22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23肥えた子牛を連れて来てほふり、食べて祝おう。
23Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
24この息子は死んでいたのに生き返り、失われていたのに見つかったからだ。』そして彼らは祝い始めた。
24for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
25「さて、兄は畑にいた。家に近づくと、音楽や踊りの音が聞こえた。
25“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26そこでしもべの一人を呼び、何事かと尋ねた。
26He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
27しもべは言った。『弟さんが帰って来ました。無事で元気に戻ったので、お父様が肥えた子牛をほふったのです。』
27He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
28兄は怒って中に入ろうとしなかった。そこで父が出て来て、なだめた。
28But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
29しかし兄は父に答えた。『見よ、私は長年あなたに仕え、命令に背いたことは一度もありません。それなのに、友人たちと祝うための子やぎ一匹もくれませんでした。
29But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30ところが、あなたの財産を娼婦たちと食いつぶした息子が帰って来ると、肥えた子牛をほふってやりました。』
30But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31「父は彼に言った。『息子よ、あなたはいつも私と一緒にいる。私のものはすべてあなたのものだ。
31“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32しかし、あなたの弟は死んでいたのに生き返り、失われていたのに見つかったのだから、祝って喜ぶのは当然だった。』」
32But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
