- そこで, 天の 國は 次のようにたとえられる. ある 王が, 家來たちに 貸した 金の 決濟をしようとした.
- 決濟し 始めたところ, 一万 タラントン 借金している 家來が, 王の 前に 連れて 來られた.
- しかし, 返濟できなかったので, 主君はこの 家來に, 自分も 妻も 子も, また 持ち 物も 全部賣って 返濟するように 命じた.
- 家來はひれ 伏し, 『どうか 待ってください. きっと 全部お 返しします 』としきりに 願った.
- その 家來の 主君は 憐れに 思って, 彼を 赦し, その 借金を 帳消しにしてやった.

- "For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.
- "When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
- "But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.
- "So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'
- "And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.

- ところが, この 家來は 外に 出て, 自分に 百 デナリオン の 借金をしている 仲間に 出會うと, 捕まえて 首を 絞め, 『借金を 返せ 』と 言った.
- 仲間はひれ 伏して, 『どうか 待ってくれ. 返すから 』としきりに 賴んだ.
- しかし, 承知せず, その 仲間を 引っぱって 行き, 借金を 返すまでと 牢に 入れた.
- 仲間たちは, 事の 次第を 見て 非常に 心を 痛め, 主君の 前に 出て 事件を 殘らず 告げた.
- そこで, 主君はその 家來を 呼びつけて 言った. 『不屆きな 家來だ. お 前が 賴んだから, 借金を 全部帳消しにしてやったのだ.

- "But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe.'
- "So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'
- "But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed.
- "So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.
- "Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.
|
- わたしがお 前を 憐れんでやったように, お 前も 自分の 仲間を 憐れんでやるべきではなかったか. 』
- そして, 主君は 怒って, 借金をすっかり 返濟するまでと, 家來を 牢役人に 引き 渡した.
- あなたがたの 一人一人が, 心から 兄弟を 赦さないなら, わたしの 天の 父もあなたがたに 同じようになさるであろう. 」

- 'Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'
- "And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him.
- "My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."
