Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
我等は漸く彼等に別れて船に乗り、コス[島]に直航して翌日ロデ[島]に至り、其よりパタラ[市]に往きしが、
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
フェニケアへ渡海する船に遇ひたれば、之に乗りて出帆し、
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
クプロ[島]沖に至り、之を左に見てシリアに渡り、チロに至れり。其は其處にて船荷を卸すべければなり。
4 Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
然て弟子等を尋出して、其處に留る事七日なりしが、彼等は[聖]霊によりて、パウロにエルザレムへ上ること勿れ、と謂ひ居たり。
5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
七日の後出發して往きけるに、彼等皆妻子と共に市外まで送りしかば、我等は海岸に跪きて祈り、
6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
互に別を告げて、我等は船に乗り彼等は家に歸れり。
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
斯て我等チロより海を渡り終てて、プトレマイスに上陸し、兄弟等に挨拶して彼等の許に留る事一日、
8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
翌日出立してカイザリアに至り、彼七人の一人なるフィリッポ福音師の家に入りて其許に留りしが、
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
是に童貞なる四人の女ありて、皆預言しつつありき。
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
我等が數日此處に止れる間に、アガポと云へる一人の預言者ユデアより來り、
11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
我等に近づきてパウロの帯を取り、己が手足を縛りて云ひけるは、聖霊曰はく、エルザレムに於て斯の如く、ユデア人此帯の主をば縛りて異邦人に付さん、と。
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
之を聞きて、我等も土地の人々も、エルザレムに上ること勿れと願ひ居たれど、
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
パウロ答へて云ひけるは、汝等何為ぞ泣きて我心を憂ひしむる、我は主イエズスの御名の為には、エルザレムに於て縛らるる耳ならず、死ぬる覚悟をさえ為せるなり、と。
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
我等は終に説得ずして、主の御旨の儘に成れかし、と云ひて止みたり。
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
數日の後、我等は旅支度してエルザレムに上る時、
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
カイザリアよりの弟子數人、來りて我等に伴ひ、ムナソンと云へるクプロ生れの古き弟子の許に宿らせんとて、其家に伴ひ行けり。
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
第五項 エルザレムに於るパウロ就縛 エルザレムに至りしかば、兄弟等は我等を歓迎せり。
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
翌日パウロ我等と共にヤコボの家に入りしに、長老等皆集りしかば、
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
パウロ彼等に接吻して、己が聖役に由りて異邦人の中に神の為し給ひし事を具に語りけるに、
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
彼等聞きて神を賞賛し、且パウロに謂ひけるは、兄弟よ、汝の見る如く、ユデア人の中信じたる者幾萬に及びて、皆律法の熱心家なるが、
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
彼等は、汝が異邦人中のユデア人に向ひ、面々の男子等に割禮を授くるに及ばず、慣例に從ふに及ばず、と云ひてモイゼに遠ざかる事を教ふるを聞けり。
22 What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
然て如何にかすべき、彼等は汝が來れる事を聞くべければ、必ず夥しく來集るならん。
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
然れば我等が汝に告ぐる所を為せ、我等に誓願を有せる人四人あり、
24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
汝彼等を引取りて共に身を潔め、且費用を弁じて其頭を剃り得させよ、然せば人皆、汝に就きて聞きし所の僞にして、汝自ら律法を守りつつ歩める事を知るべし、
25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
異邦人にして信じたる人々に関しては、我等議定して、唯、偶像に献げられし物と血と絞殺されしものと私通とを避くべし、と書贈れり、と。
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
斯てパウロ彼人々を引取り、翌日身を潔めて共に[神]殿に入り、面々の為に供物を為さんとて、潔の期日を定めたり。
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
七日の終らんとする時、[小]アジアよりのユデア人、パウロを[神]殿の内に見しかば、人民を煽動し、彼に手を懸けて叫びけるは、
28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
助けよ、イスラエルの男子等、是至る處に人民と律法と此所とに反する事を人々に教へ、而も異邦人を[神]殿に入らしめて、此聖所を穢せる者なり、と。
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
蓋彼等はエフェゾ人なるトロフィモが彼と共に市中に在るを見て、パウロ之を[神]殿に入れたりと思ひしなり。
30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
是に於て市中挙りて立騒ぎ、人民馳集りてパウロを捕へ、[神]殿の外に引出ししが、門は直に鎖されたり。
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
然て人々パウロを殺さんと謀りければ、軍隊の千夫長の許に、エルザレム全く亂れたりとの報告あり、
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
千夫長直に、兵卒及び百夫長らを率ゐて人民の所に馳來りしかば、人々千夫長と兵卒とを見て、パウロを打つ事を罷めたり。
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
千夫長近づきて之を捕へ、命じて二の鎖にて繋がせ、是は誰なるぞ、何を為ししぞ、と尋ぬるに、
34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
群衆の中より口々に彼是と叫び、騒がしさに事實を確むる事能はざれば、命じてパウロを兵営の内に牽入れしめしが、
35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
階段に至り、パウロ人民の[押合ふ]勢の為、兵卒に舁上げらるるに及べり、
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
其は彼を殺せと叫びつつ、人民夥しく後を慕へばなり。
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
パウロ牽かれて兵営に入らんとする時、千夫長に向ひ、我汝に語りて可きか、と云ひしかば彼云ひけるは、汝ギリシア語を知れりや、
38 Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
過日騒動を起して四千人の刺客を野に引出ししエジプト人は汝に非ずや、と。
39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
パウロ之に謂ひけるは、我實はシリシア[州]のタルソ生れなるユデア人にして、隠れなき町の公民なり、乞ふ人民に言ふ事を許せ、と。
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
彼許ししかば、パウロ階段に立ちて人民に手眞似したるに、皆沈黙したりければ、ヘブレオ語にて語りけるは。
