Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
第十項 パウロマルタに漂流しロマに至る 我等既に迯れて後、此島のマルタと呼ばるることを知りしが、夷等一方ならぬ親切を示し、
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
雨降りて寒ければとて、火を焚きて我等一同を保養せしめたり。
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
パウロ若干の柴を集めて火に加べしに、火熱の為に蝮出でて其手に噬付きしかば、
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
夷等虫のパウロの手に噬付けるを見て、此人定めて殺人者なるべし、海よりは迯れたるも、天之に活くる事を許さず、と語合ひけるに、
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
パウロ虫を火の中に振落して、聊も害を受けざりき。
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
人々は、彼必ず脹出して忽ちに倒死するならんと思へるに、待つ事久しくして聊も害の及ばざるを見るや、翻りて、是神なりと謂ひ居たり。
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
然て此處にプブリオと呼ばるる島司の所有地ありしが、彼我等を接待して、三日の間懇切に饗應せり。
8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
然るにプブリオの父、熱病と赤痢とを患ひて臥し居ければ、パウロ其許に至り、祈り且按手して之を醫したり。
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
斯りし程に島に於て病める人々悉く來りて醫されつつありしが、
10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
又大いに我等を尊びて、船に乗るに臨み、必要なる品々を我等に贈れり。
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
三月の後我等は、此島に冬籠したりし、ジョストリの印あるアレキサンドリアの船にて出帆し、
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
シラクサに至りて滞留する事三日、
13 From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
此處より岸に沿ひてレジオに至りしに、一日を経て南風吹きしかば、二日目にプテリオに至り、
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
此處にて兄弟等に出會ひ、願によりて彼等の中に留る事七日にして、遂にロマに至れり。
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
ロマの兄弟等之を聞きて、アッピイフォロム及び三宿と云へる處まで我等を出迎へしが、パウロ彼等を見て神に感謝し、且力を得たり。
16 When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
斯て我等ロマに至りしに、[百夫長囚徒を近衛隊長に付したれど、]パウロは己が宿に一人の守衛兵と共に留る事を許されたり。
17 It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
三日の後パウロユデア人の重立ちたる者を呼集めしが、彼等來りしかば、パウロ之に謂ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、我曾て我國民又は先祖の慣習に反する事を為さざりしを、エルザレムより、囚人としてロマ人の手に付されしが、
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
彼等訊問の上、死罪に當る事なきにより、我を免さんとしたりしに、
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
ユデア人の之を拒みたる為に、我已むを得ずしてセザルに上告せり。然れども我國民に就きて訴ふる所あるに非ざれば、
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
我は汝等に遇ひて語らん事を請へり、蓋イスラエルの希望の為にこそ、我は此鎖に縛られたるなれ、と。
21 They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
彼等パウロに謂ひけるは、我等は汝に就きてユデアより書簡を受けたるにも非ず、又兄弟の中に來りて汝が惡しき事を吹聴し、或は語りたる者あるに非ず、
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
然れど、希はくは汝の思へる所を聞かん、其は此宗派が到る處に於て逆らはるる事を知ればなり、と。
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
斯て彼等日を期して、パウロの宿に群がり來りしかば、彼朝より晩に至るまで説教して、神の國を證明し、又モイゼの律法及び預言者の書に基きて、イエズスの事を勧め居たりき。
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
斯て謂はるる事を信ずる人もあり、信ぜざる人もありて、
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
相一致せずして退くに至りしかば、パウロ唯一言を述べけるは、眞なる哉聖霊が預言者イザヤを以て我等が先祖に語り給ひたる事、
26 saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
曰く「汝此民に至りて之を告げよ、汝等耳にて聞かんも悟らず、目にて見んも認めざるべし、
27 For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
蓋此民の心鈍くなり、耳を覆ひ目を閉ぢたり、是は目にて見、耳にて聞き、心にて悟り、而して立歸りて我に醫されん事を懼るればなり」と。
28 "Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
然れば汝等心得よ、神の此救は異邦人に遣られて、彼等は之を聴くべきなり、と。
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
パウロ斯く云ひしかば、ユデア人等退きて大いに相争へり。
30 And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
パウロ其宿に留る事満二箇年なりしが、己が許に入來る人を悉く歓迎して、
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
憚らず妨げらるる事なく神の國の事を宣べ、主イエズス、キリストの事を教へ居たりき。
