Acts 13
1 Now there were, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
第一項 パウロ第一回の傳道旅行 アンチオキアの教會に、數人の預言者及び教師ありて、其中にバルナバと、黒人と名くるシモンと、クレネのルシオと、分國の王ヘロデの乳兄弟なるマナヘンと、サウロと在りしが、
2 Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them.”
彼等主に祭を為し且断食しけるに、聖霊曰ひけるは、汝等バルナバとサウロとを我為に分ちて、我が彼等に任じたる業に從事せしめよ、と。
3 Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon them, they sent them away.
是に於て彼等断食及び祈祷を為し、兩人に按手して、之を往かしめたり。
4 And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there they sailed to Cyprus.
然れば兩人聖霊により遣はされてセリュキアに往き、彼處よりクプロ[島]に航海して、
5 And when they had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry.
サラミネに至りしかば、ユデア人の諸會堂にて神の御言を宣傳へ、ヨハネは助手として彼等と共に居りき。
6 And when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu.
彼等普く嶋を巡りてパフォスに至りしに、魔術者にして僞預言者なる一人のユデア人に遇へり。名をバリエズと云ひてセルジオ、パウロと云へる地方総督と共に居りしが、
7 And he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, wanted to hear the Word of God.
此総督智慮ある人にて、バルナバとサウロとを招きて神の御言を聴かんと欲すれども、
8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the Faith.
彼魔術者エリマ、其名は斯く訳せらる、兩人に抵抗して、総督を信仰より遠ざからしめんと努め居たり。
9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him,
其時パウロとも云へるサウロ、聖霊に充たされて之に目を注ぎ、
10 and he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous ways of the Lord!
嗚呼所有狡猾と僞計とに充てる者よ、惡魔の子よ、一切の義の敵よ、汝主の直なる道を曲げて止まず、
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you. And you will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might lead him by the hand.
今看よ、主の御手汝の上に懸り、汝瞽者となりて時至るまで日を見ざるべし、と云ひけるに、忽ち朦朧と暗黒と其目を掩ひ、彼探廻りつつ手引する者を求め居たりしかば、
12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over the doctrine of the Lord.
総督は其成りし事を見て、主の教を感嘆し信仰せり。
13 And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
パウロ及び其伴へる人々、パフォより出帆してパンフィリア[州]の[都]ペルゲンに至りしが、ヨハネは彼等を去りてエルザレムに歸れり。
14 Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
然て彼等はペルゲンを経てピジヂア[州]の[都]アンチオキアに至り、安息日に會堂に入りて坐せしかば、
15 Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to the people, speak.”
律法及び預言者[の書]を捧読したる後、會堂の司等、人を彼等に遣はして謂はせけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、汝等人民の為に勧となるべき話あらば語れ、と。
16 Then Paul, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely.
其時パウロ立ちて、（沈黙せしめん為に）手眞似して、然て云ひけるは、イスラエルの男子及び神を畏敬せる人々よ、聞け、
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there.
イスラエル人民の神は我等の先祖を選み、其エジプト地方に寄留せし時、人民を引立て、且御腕を挙げて彼處より導き出し、
18 And throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert.
四十年の間荒野に於て彼等の挙動を忍び、
19 And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land among them by lot,
且カナアンの地に於て七の民族を亡ぼし、其土地を彼等に嗣がしめ給ひしが、
20 after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel.
是四百四十年を経たる後の事なり。其後預言者サムエルに至るまで判事を賜ひ、
21 And later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
彼等終に王を求めしかば、神は四十年の間ベンヤミン族の人、シスの子たるサウルを賜ひ、
22 And having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.’
之を退けて後ダヴィドを挙げて王と為し給ひしが、之を證明して曰へらく、「我わが心に適へる人、エッセの子なるダヴィドを得たり、彼悉く我意を為すべし」と。
23 From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel.
神は御約束の随に、彼が子孫の中より救主イエズスをイスラエルに出し給ひしが、
24 John was preaching, before the face of his advent, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
其來るに先ちてヨハネは改心の洗禮をイスラエルの人民に普く宣傳へたり。
25 Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’
然れどヨハネ己が使命を終ふるに當りて、我は汝等の其と思へる人に非ず、然りながら看よ、我後に來る人あり、我は其履を解くにも足らず、と云ひ居たりき。
26 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent.
兄弟たる人々よ、アブラハムの裔の子等よ、又汝等の中神を畏敬する者よ、汝等にこそ、此救霊の言は送られたるなれ。
27 For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.
其はエルザレムに住める人及び其長等は、キリストを認らず、安息日毎に捧読する預言者等の言をも知らず、彼を罪して預言を全うせり。
28 And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.
且死罪の理由の一も見出さずして、ピラトに之を殺さん事を求め、
29 And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.
斯て之に関して録されたりし事を悉く全うしたる後、木より下して之を墓に納めたり。
30 Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.
然れど神は三日目に之を死者の中より復活せしめ給ひしかば、
31 And he was seen for many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now are his witnesses to the people.
多くの日の間、彼と共にガリレアよりエルザレムに上りし人々に現れ給ひ、彼等今に至るまで人民に對して其證人たり。
32 And we are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,
我等も曾て我先祖に為されし彼約束の福音を汝等に告ぐ、
33 has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’
其は神イエズスを復活せしめて、我等の子等の為に此約束を全うし給ひたればなり、詩の第二篇に録して、「汝は我子なり、我今日汝を生めり」、とあるが如し。
34 Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’
又之を死者の中より復活せしめ給ひて、再び腐敗に歸すべからざる事を指示して曰へらく、「我ダヴィドに為しし聖なる約束を確に全うせん」と。
35 And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.’
然れば又他の處に、「汝の聖なる者に腐敗を見せ給ふ事なかるべし」と云へる事あり、
36 For David, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption.
即ちダヴィドは、生涯神の思召に應じて事へ、眠りて後は先祖と共に置かれて腐敗を見たれども、
37 Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.
神が死者の中より復活せしめ給ひし者は腐敗を見ざりしなり。
38 Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
然れば汝等之を覚れ、兄弟たる人々よ、イエズスに由りてこそ、汝等罪の赦を告げられ、
39 In him, all who believe are justified.
又モイゼの律法の下に義とせらるるを得ざりし一切の罪に就きても、之を信ずる人は皆義とせらるるなれ。
40 Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm you:
此故に汝等慎めや、預言者等の[書に]云はれし事、恐くは汝等に到來せん。
41 ‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.’”
即ち「看よ、蔑れる人々、感嘆し、而して亡びよ、蓋汝等の日に至りて我一の業を為さん、是人汝等に語るとも汝等が信ぜざるべき程の業なり」とあり、と。
42 Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.
パウロバルナバの兩人會堂を出づる時、次の安息日にも此言を語らん事を乞はれしが、
43 And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
散會の後多くのユデア人、及びユデア教に歸依せし人々、兩人に從ひ來りしかば、兩人彼等に語りて、神の恩寵に止らん事を勧め居たり。
44 Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came together to hear the Word of God.
次の安息日には、神の御言を聴聞せんとて、殆ど町を挙りて集りしが、
45 Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.
ユデア人群集の夥しきを見て妬ましさに満たされ、罵りてパウロの言ふ所を拒みければ、
46 Then Paul and Barnabas said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
パウロバルナバ毅然として云ひけるは、神の御言は先汝等に語るべかりき。然るに汝等之を退けて、自ら永遠の生命を得るに足らずとせるを以て、看よ我等転じて異邦人に向はんとするなり。 (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
蓋主我等に命じて、「我汝を立てて異邦人の燈とし、地の極まで救とならしめん」と曰へり、と。
48 Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
異邦人之を聞きて喜び、又主の御言を崇め居りしが、永遠の生命に預定せられし人々悉く之を信仰せり。 (aiōnios g166)
49 Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire region.
斯て主の御言全地方に弘まりければ、
50 But the Jews incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.
ユデア人は敬虔なる貴夫人等、及び町の重立ちたる人々を煽動して、パウロとバルナバとに對して迫害を起させ、己が地方より彼等を追出せり。
51 But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.
兩人は人々に向ひて足の塵を払い、イコニオムに至りしが、
52 The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.
弟子等は欣喜と聖霊とに満たされてありき。
