Acts 1
1 The former book I wrote, Theophilus, told all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
第一款 キリスト傳と聖會史との間の事柄 テオフィロよ、我前に第一の書を作りて、総てイエズスの初より行ひ且教へ給ひしことを述べ、
2 until the day that he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
其選み給ひし使徒等に聖霊に由りて命じ置き、然て天に上げられ給ひし日までに及びたりしが、
3 After his suffering, he presented himself alive to them with many convincing proofs. For forty days he appeared to them, and he spoke about the kingdom of God.
イエズス御受難の後、多くの徴を以て、彼等に己の活きたる事を證明し、四十日の間彼等に現れ、神の國に関して談り給へり。
4 When he was meeting together with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, about which, he said, “You heard from me
第一 キリストの御昇天 又共に食しつつ彼等に、エルザレムを離れずして父の約束を待つべしと命じ、然て曰ひけるは、「汝等我口づから其約束を聞けり、
5 that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days.”
蓋ヨハネは水にて洗したれども、汝等は日久しからずして聖霊にて洗せらるべきなり、と。
6 When they were assembled together they asked him, “Lord, is this the time you will restore the kingdom to Israel?”
然れば集りたる人々問ひて、主よ、イスラエルの國を回復し給ふは此頃なるか、と云ひければ、
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has determined by his own authority.
イエズス曰ひけるは、父が其権能によりて定め給ひし時刻は、汝等の知るべきに非ず、
8 But you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
但汝等に臨み給ふ聖霊の能力を受けて、汝等はエルザレム、ユデア全國、サマリア、地の極に至る迄も我が證人とならん、と。
9 When the Lord Jesus had said these things, as they were looking up, he was raised up, and a cloud hid him from their eyes.
斯く曰ひ終てて彼等の見る中に上げられ給ひしが、一叢の雲之を受けて見えざらしめたり。
10 While they were looking intensely to heaven as he went, suddenly, two men stood by them in white clothing.
彼等が猶天に昇往き給ふを眺め居たる程に、白衣の人二人忽ち彼等の傍に立ちて言ひけるは、
11 They said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same manner as you saw him going into heaven.”
ガリレア人よ、何ぞ天を仰ぎつつ立てるや、汝等を離れて天に上げられ給ひし此イエズスは、汝等が其天に往き給ふを見たる如く、復斯の如くにして來り給ふべし、と。
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.
第二 使徒等ユダの後任者を選む 然て使徒等、橄欖山と云へる山よりエルザレムに還りしが、此山はエルザレムに近く、安息日にも行かるべき道程なり。
13 When they arrived, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were staying. They were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
然て入りてペトロとヨハネ、ヤコボとアンデレア、フィリッポとトマ、バルトロメオとマテオ、アルフェオの子ヤコボとゼロテなるシモンと、ヤコボの兄弟ユダとの宿れる高間に登りしが、
14 They were all united as one, as they diligently continued in prayer. Included were the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
彼等皆婦人等及びイエズスの母マリア、及びイエズスの兄弟等と共に、心を同じうして耐忍びつつ祈祷に從事し居たり。
15 In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 people, and said,
其頃、共に集れる人約百廿名なりしが、ペトロ兄弟の中に立ちて云ひけるは、
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, that the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who guided the ones who arrested Jesus.
兄弟の人々よ、イエズスを捕へし者等の案内者となりしユダに就きて、聖霊がダヴィドの口を以て預言し給ひたる聖書は、成就せざるべからず。
17 For he was one of us and received his share of the benefits of this ministry.”
彼は我等の員に入りて此聖役に與りたれども、
18 (Now this man bought a field with the earnings he received for his wickedness, and there he fell headfirst, and his body burst open, and all his intestines poured out.
不義の價を以て畑を求め、（吊されて）俯伏に倒れ、其身眞中より裂けて腸悉く迸り出でたり。
19 All those living in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language “Akeldama,” that is, “Field of Blood.”)
此事エルザレムの住民に知れ渡りて、此畑は彼等の方言にてハケルダマ、即ち血の畑と呼ばれたり。
20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms, 'Let his field be made desolate, and do not let even one person live there'; 'Let someone else take his position of leadership.'
蓋詩の書に録して、「彼の檻は荒れて、之に住む人なかるべし」、又「他人其務を受くべし」、とあれば、
21 It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who accompanied us all the time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
我等と共に集れる此人々の中より、総て主イエズス、キリストが我等の中に出入し給ひし間、
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was taken up from us, must be a witness with us of his resurrection.”
即ちヨハネの洗禮より始め、我等を離れて上げられ給ひし日に至るまで、一所に在りし者の一人、我等と共に其復活の證人とならざるべからず、と。
23 They put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also named Justus, and Matthias.
是に於て彼等、バルサバと呼ばれ、義人と綽名されたるヨゼフと、マチアとの二人を挙げ、
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, know the hearts of all people, so reveal which of these two is the one whom you have chosen
祈りて云ひけるは、総ての人の心を知り給へる主よ、ユダの己が處に往かんとて退きし此務と使徒職とを引受くべく、
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”
此二人の何れを選み給へるかを知らしめ給へ、と。
26 They cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
斯て彼等に鬮を與へしに、鬮はマチアに當りしかば、彼十一人の使徒に加へられたり。
