Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
テオピロよ、我さきに前の書をつくりて、凡そイエスの行ひはじめ教へはじめ給ひしより、
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
その選び給へる使徒たちに、聖 靈によりて命じたるのち、擧げられ給ひし日に至るまでの事を記せり。
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
イエスは苦難をうけしのち、多くの慥なる證をもて、己の活きたることを使徒たちに示し、四十 日の間、しばしば彼らに現れて、神の國のことを語り、
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
また彼 等とともに集りゐて命じたまふ『エルサレムを離れずして、我より聞きし父の約束を待て。
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
ヨハネは水にてバプテスマを施ししが、汝らは日ならずして聖 靈にてバプテスマを施されん』
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
弟子たち集れるとき問ひて言ふ『主よ、イスラエルの國を囘復し給ふは此の時なるか』
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
イエス言ひたまふ『時また期は父おのれの權威のうちに置き給へば、汝らの知るべきにあらず。
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
然れど聖 靈なんぢらの上に臨むとき、汝ら能力をうけん、而してエルサレム、ユダヤ全國、サマリヤ、及び地の極にまで我が證人とならん』
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
此 等のことを言ひ終りて、彼らの見るがうちに擧げられ給ふ。雲これを受けて見えざらしめたり。
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
その昇りゆき給ふとき、彼ら天に目を注ぎゐたりしに、視よ、白き衣を著たる二人の人かたはらに立ちて言ふ、
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
『ガリラヤの人々よ、何ゆゑ天を仰ぎて立つか、汝らを離れて天に擧げられ給ひし此のイエスは、汝らが天に昇りゆくを見たるその如く復きたり給はん』
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
ここに彼 等オリブといふ山よりエルサレムに歸る。この山はエルサレムに近く、安息 日の道程なり。
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
既に入りてその留りをる高樓に登る。ペテロ、ヨハネ、ヤコブ及びアンデレ、ピリポ及びトマス、バルトロマイ及びマタイ、アルパヨの子ヤコブ、熱心 黨のシモン及びヤコブの子ユダなり。
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
この人々はみな女たち及びイエスの母マリヤ、イエスの兄弟たちと共に、心を一つにして只管いのりを務めゐたり。
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
その頃ペテロ、百二十 名ばかり共に集りて群をなせる兄弟たちの中に立ちて言ふ、
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
『兄弟たちよ、イエスを捕ふる者どもの手引となりしユダにつきて、聖 靈ダビデの口によりて預じめ言ひ給ひし聖書は、かならず成就せざるを得ざりしなり。
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
彼は我らの中に數へられ、此の務に與りたればなり。
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
（この人は、かの不義の價をもて地所を得、また俯伏に墜ちて直中より裂けて臓腑みな流れ出でたり。
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
この事エルサレムに住む凡ての人に知られて、その地所は國語にてアケルダマと稱へらる、血の地所との義なり）
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
それは詩 篇に録して「彼の住處は荒れ果てよ、人その中に住はざれ」と云ひ、又「その職はほかの人に得させよ」と云ひたり。
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
然れば主イエス我等のうちに往來し給ひし間、
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
即ちヨハネのバプテスマより始り、我らを離れて擧げられ給ひし日に至るまで、常に我らと偕に在りし此の人々のうち一人、われらと共に主の復活の證人となるべきなり』
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
ここにバルサバと稱へられ、またの名をユストと呼ばるるヨセフ及びマツテヤの二人をあげ、
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
祈りて言ふ『凡ての人の心を知りたまふ主よ、ユダ己が所に往かんとて此の務と使徒の職とより墮ちたれば、その後を繼がするに、此の二人のうち孰を選び給ふか示したまへ』
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
祈りて言ふ『凡ての人の心を知りたまふ主よ、ユダ己が所に往かんとて此の務と使徒の職とより墮ちたれば、その後を繼がするに、此の二人のうち孰を選び給ふか示したまへ』
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
かくて鬮せしに、鬮はマツテヤに當りたれば、彼は十 一の使徒に加へられたり。
