マタイの福音書 15
Japanese Living Bible
規則より大切なもの
15 パリサイ人やユダヤ人の指導者たちが、イエスに会いに、エルサレムからやって来ました。 2 彼らはイエスに、「どうしてあなたの弟子たちは、先祖の言い伝えを守らないのか。食事の前に手を洗わないのはどうしてか」と迫りました。
3 そこで、イエスは言われました。「それならお聞きします。あなたがたも自分たちの言い伝えのために、神の戒めを破っています。それはどういうわけですか。 4 たとえば、律法には、『あなたの父と母とを敬え。だれでも父や母をののしる者は死刑に処せられる』とあります。 5-6 ところが、どうでしょう。あなたがたは、両親が困っていようと何だろうと、『このお金は神にささげました』と言いさえすれば、もう両親のためにそのお金を使わなくてもよいと教えています。つまり、人間の作った規則を盾にとって、両親を敬い、そのめんどうをみなさいという神の戒めを破っているのです。 7 まさに偽善者です。イザヤが預言したとおりです。
8 『彼らは口先ではわたしを敬うが、
心はわたしから遠く離れている。
9 彼らがわたしを拝んでも、むだなことだ。
神のおきての代わりに、
人間の規則を教えているのだから。』（イザヤ29・13）」
10 それからイエスは、群衆を呼び寄せて言われました。「いいですか、よく聞きなさい。 11 禁じられている物を食べたからといって、それで汚れるわけではありません。人を汚すのは、口から出ることばであり、心の思いなのです。」
12 その時、弟子たちが来て言いました。「先生があんなことをおっしゃったので、パリサイ人たちはかんかんに怒っています。」
13 しかし、イエスは言われました。「わたしの父がお植えにならなかった木は、みな根こそぎ抜かれてしまいます。 14 だから、あの人たちのことは放っておきなさい。彼らは盲目なのです。おまけに、ほかの盲人の手引きまでして、結局、二人とも溝に落ちてしまうでしょう。」
15 すると、ペテロが尋ねました。「きよくないとされている物を食べても汚れない、と先生がおっしゃるのは、どうしてですか。」
16 イエスは言われました。「そんなことがわからないのですか。 17 口から入る物は何でも腹に入って、外へ出てしまいます。 18 ところが、悪いことばは悪い心から出てくるので、人を汚すのです。 19 つまり、悪い考え、殺人、姦淫、不品行、盗み、うそ、また悪口などは、心から出て、 20 人を汚すのです。しかし、食事の前に手を洗うという規則を破ったからといって汚れるわけではありません。」
21 イエスはその地方を去り、ツロとシドンに向かわれました。
数々の奇跡
22 この地方に住んでいるカナン人の女がイエスのところに来て、必死に願いました。「主よ。ダビデ王の子よ！お願いです。どうか、私をあわれと思ってお助けください。娘が悪霊に取りつかれて、ひどく苦しんでいるのです。」
23 しかし、イエスは堅く口を閉ざして、ひとこともお答えになりません。とうとう弟子たちが、「あの女に早く帰るように言ってください。うるさくてしかたがありません」と頼みました。
24 それでイエスは、「わたしが遣わされたのは、外国人を助けるためではありません。ユダヤ人を助けるためです」と説明なさいました。
25 それでも女は、イエスの前にひれ伏し、「主よ。どうかお助けください」と願い続けました。
26 イエスは、「子どもたちのパンを取り上げて、犬に投げてやるのはよくないことです」と言われました。
27 しかし、女はあきらめませんでした。「おっしゃるとおりです。でも、食卓の下にいる小犬でも、落ちたパンくずぐらいは食べさせてもらえます。」
28 そのことばにイエスは感心し、「あなたの信仰は見上げたものです。いいでしょう。願いをかなえてあげましょう」と言われました。その時から、彼女の娘は治りました。
29 さて、再びガリラヤ湖に移ります。イエスは丘に登り、腰をおろしておられました。 30 そこへ、大ぜいの人が、足の不自由な者、盲人、体の不自由な者、口のきけない者をはじめ、たくさんの病人を連れて来たので、イエスはその人たちをいやされました。 31 なんという驚くべき光景でしょう。口のきけなかった者が興奮して話しだし、歩けなかった者が歩きだし、盲人が見えるようになったのです。人々は驚き、心からイスラエルの神をほめたたえました。
32 イエスは、弟子たちを呼び寄せて言われました。「この人たちがかわいそうです。もう三日もわたしといっしょにいて、食べ物はとっくになくなっています。このまま帰らせたら、きっと途中で倒れてしまうでしょう。」
33 「でも、こんな寂しい所で、これほどたくさんの人です……。それだけの食べ物を、いったいどこで手に入れるのですか。」
34 「今、手もとにどれぐらい食べ物がありますか」「パンが七つと、小さい魚がほんの少しだけです。」
35 それを聞くと、イエスはみんなを地べたに座らせました。 36 そして、七つのパンと魚を取り、神に感謝をささげてからそれを裂き、弟子たちに渡して、一人一人に配らせました。 37-38 女性や子どもを除いても、四千人もの群衆でしたが、だれもが満腹するほど食べました。あとでパンくずを拾い集めると、なんと七つのかごがいっぱいになりました。
39 そこで、イエスは人々を家に帰し、舟に乗ってマガダン地方へ向かわれました。
Mateus 15
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
A lei de Deus e a tradição dos judeus
(Mc 7.1-23)
15 Depois disto, alguns fariseus e professores da lei de Jerusalém se aproximaram de Jesus e lhe perguntaram:
2 —Por que os seus discípulos não obedecem às tradições dos líderes? Pois eles não lavam as mãos antes de comer.
3 Jesus, porém, lhes respondeu:
—Por que vocês desobedecem aos mandamentos de Deus, seguindo as suas próprias tradições? 4 Porque Deus disse: “Respeitem o seu pai e a sua mãe”(A) e “Quem amaldiçoar o seu pai ou a sua mãe, será condenado à morte”.(B)
5 —Mas vocês dizem que qualquer um que disser a seu pai ou a sua mãe: “Eu não posso ajudá-lo, pois tudo o que tenho está dedicado a Deus”, 6 não precisa honrar a seus pais. Vocês têm anulado a palavra de Deus por causa das suas tradições! 7 Hipócritas! Isaías estava certo quando profetizou a respeito de vocês e disse:
8 “Esse povo me honra com suas palavras,
mas o seu coração está longe de mim.
9 E em vão me adoram,
ensinando coisas que são mandamentos de homens”.(C)
10 Então, chamando a multidão, Jesus lhes disse:
—Ouçam e entendam. 11 Não é o que entra pela boca de uma pessoa que a contamina, mas sim o que sai dela.
12 Os discípulos de Jesus, então, se aproximaram dele e lhe disseram:
—Sabe que os fariseus ficaram ofendidos quando ouviram o que o senhor disse?
13 Mas Jesus lhes respondeu:
—Toda planta que meu Pai que está no céu não plantou será arrancada. 14 Não se preocupem com eles, pois são cegos, guiando outros cegos. E se um cego guiar outro cego, ambos cairão no buraco!
15 Pedro, porém, lhe pediu:
—Explique-nos o significado do que o senhor falou antes à multidão.
16 Mas Jesus lhes disse:
—Vocês também ainda não entendem? 17 Vocês não entendem que tudo o que entra pela boca vai para o estômago e depois sai do corpo? 18 O que sai da boca vem do coração e é isso o que contamina a pessoa. 19 Pois é do coração que vêm todos os maus pensamentos, homicídios, adultérios, imoralidade sexual, roubos, mentiras e insultos. 20 São essas coisas que contaminam a pessoa; comer sem antes lavar as mãos não contamina ninguém.
Jesus ajuda uma mulher não-judia
(Mc 7.24-30)
21 Jesus partiu daquele lugar e se dirigiu para a região das cidades de Tiro e de Sidom. 22 Uma mulher cananeia que morava naquela região se aproximou dele e começou a gritar, dizendo:
—Senhor, Filho de Davi, tenha piedade de mim! Minha filha está possuída por um demônio e sofre terrivelmente!
23 Jesus, porém, não lhe respondeu nada. Seus discípulos, então, se aproximaram dele e lhe disseram:
—Mande essa mulher embora, pois ela vem gritando atrás de nós.
24 Jesus, então, lhe disse:
—Eu fui enviado somente às ovelhas perdidas do povo de Israel.
25 Mas a mulher, tendo se aproximado, se ajoelhou diante dele e lhe disse:
—Ajude-me, Senhor!
26 Em resposta Jesus lhe disse:
—Não está certo tirar a comida dos filhos para dá-la aos cachorrinhos.
27 Mas a mulher lhe disse:
—Isso é verdade, Senhor, porém até os cachorrinhos comem das migalhas que caem da mesa de seus donos.
28 Ao ouvir aquilo, Jesus lhe disse:
—A sua fé é grande, senhora! Que seja feito o que a senhora deseja.
E naquele mesmo momento sua filha ficou curada.
Jesus cura muitas pessoas
29 Jesus, então, partiu daquele lugar e voltou para junto do lago da Galileia. Depois subiu ao monte e se sentou ali. 30 Uma grande multidão foi até ele, levando consigo coxos, cegos, mancos, mudos e muitos outros doentes. Eles eram colocados aos pés de Jesus e este curava a todos. 31 Os mudos voltavam a falar, os mancos eram curados, os coxos podiam andar e os cegos recobravam a visão; e todo o povo, ao ver aquilo, ficou muito admirado e deu louvores ao Deus de Israel.
Jesus alimenta mais de quatro mil pessoas
(Mc 8.1-10)
32 Jesus, então, chamou os seus discípulos e lhes disse:
—Eu tenho muita pena de toda essa gente. Já faz três dias que estão comigo e agora não têm nada para comer. Não quero mandá-los embora sem lhes dar comida, pois eles podem desmaiar pelo caminho.
33 Seus discípulos, então, lhe perguntaram:
—Onde é que vamos arranjar tanta comida para dar para toda esta gente num lugar deserto como este?
34 Mas Jesus lhes perguntou:
—Quantos pães vocês têm?
E eles responderam:
—Temos sete pães e alguns pequenos peixes.
35 Jesus, então, mandou que a multidão se sentasse no chão. 36 Depois, pegou os sete pães e os peixes, deu graças a Deus e, partindo-os, os deu aos seus discípulos, que os distribuíram entre a multidão. 37 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos e os discípulos ainda recolheram sete cestos cheios com os pedaços que sobraram. 38 E os que comeram foram quatro mil homens, sem contar as mulheres e as crianças.
39 Depois disto, Jesus despediu a multidão, entrou no barco e partiu para a região de Magadã.
Matthew 15
King James Version
15 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Matthew 15
New King James Version
Defilement Comes from Within(A)
15 Then (B)the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 (C)“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, (D)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (E)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, (F)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 (G)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(H) people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
(I)Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10 (J)When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 (K)Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered and said, (L)“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. (M)They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 (N)Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, (O)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that (P)whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But (Q)those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 (R)For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
A Gentile Shows Her Faith(S)
21 (T)Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, (U)Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, (V)“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little (W)dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (X)great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Jesus Heals Great Multitudes(Y)
29 (Z)Jesus departed from there, (AA)skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 (AB)Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, [d]maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ (AC)feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the [e]maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they (AD)glorified the God of Israel.
Feeding the Four Thousand(AE)
32 (AF)Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33 (AG)Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And (AH)He took the seven loaves and the fish and (AI)gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. 38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 (AJ)And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of [f]Magdala.
