Acts 12
1 In that tyme Herode the kynge stretched forthe his handes to vexe certayne of the congregacion.
その頃ヘロデ王、教會のうちの或 人どもを苦しめんとて手を下し、
2 And he kylled Iames the brother of Iohn with the swerde:
劍をもてヨハネの兄弟ヤコブを殺せり。
3 and because he sawe that it pleased ye Iewes he proceded forther and toke Peter also. Then were the dayes of swete breed.
この事ユダヤ人の心に適ひたるを見て、またペテロをも捕ふ、頃は除酵祭の時なりき。
4 And when he had caught him he put him in preson and delyvered him to. iiii. quaternios of soudiers to be kepte entendynge after ester to brynge him forth to the people.
すでに執りて獄に入れ、過越の後に民のまへに曳き出さんとの心構にて、四人 一組なる四組の兵卒に付して之を守らせたり。
5 Then was Peter kepte in preson. But prayer was made with out ceasynge of the congregacion vnto God for him.
かくてペテロは獄のなかに因はれ、教會は熱心に彼のために神に祈をなせり。
6 And when Herode wolde have brought him oute vnto the people the same nyght slepte Peter bitwene two soudiers bounde with two chaynes and the kepers before the dore kepte the preson.
ヘロデこれを曳き出さんとする其の前の夜、ペテロは二つの鏈にて繋がれ、二人の兵卒のあひだに睡り、番兵らは門口にゐて獄を守りたるに、
7 And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes.
視よ、主の使ペテロの傍らに立ちて、光明 室内にかがやく。御使かれの脇をたたき、覺していふ『疾く起きよ』かくて鏈その手より落ちたり。
8 And the angell sayd vnto him: gyrde thy selfe and bynde on thy sandales. And so he dyd. And he sayde vnto him: cast thy mantle aboute the and folowe me.
御使いふ『帶をしめ、鞋をはけ』彼その如く爲たれば、又いふ『上衣をまとひて我に從へ』
9 And he came oute and folowed him and wist not that it was truthe which was done by the angell but thought he had sene a vision.
ペテロ出でて隨ひしが、御使のする事の眞なるを知らず、幻影を見るならんと思ふ。
10 When they were past ye fyrst and ye seconde watche they came vnto yt yron gate yt ledeth vnto the cyte which opened to them by his awne accorde. And they went out and passed thorowe one strete and by and by the angell departed fro him.
かくて第一・第二の警固を過ぎて町に入るところの鐵の門に到れば、門おのづから彼 等のために開け、相 共にいでて一つの街を過ぎしとき、直ちに御使はなれたり。
11 And when Peter was come to him selfe he sayde: now I knowe of a surety that the Lorde hath sent his angell and hath delyvered me out of the honde of Herode and from all the waytynge for of the people of ye Iewes.
ペテロ我に反りて言ふ『われ今まことに知る、主その使を遣して、ヘロデの手およびユダヤの民の凡て思ひ設けし事より、我を救ひ出し給ひしを』
12 And as he consydred the thinge he cam to ye housse of Mary the mother of one Iohn which was called Marke also where many were gaddered to gedder in prayer.
斯く悟りてマルコと稱ふるヨハネの母マリヤの家に往きしが、其處には數多のもの集りて祈りゐたり。
13 As Peter knocked at the entry dore a damsell cam forth to herken named Rhoda.
ペテロ門の戸を叩きたれば、ロダといふ婢女ききに出できたり、
14 And when she knew Peters voyce she opened not the entrey for gladnes but ran in and told how Peter stode before the entrey.
ペテロの聲なるを知りて、勸喜のあまりに門を開けずして走り入り、ペテロの門の前に立てることを告げたれば、
15 And they sayde vnto her: thou arte mad. And she bare them doune yt it was even so. Then sayde they: it is his angell.
彼ら『なんぢは氣 狂へり』と言ふ。然れどロダは夫なりと言張る。かれら言ふ『それはペテロの御使ならん』
16 Peter cotynued knockinge. When they had opened the dore and sawe him they were astonyed.
然るにペテロなほ叩きて止まざれば、かれら門をひらき之を見て驚けり。
17 And he beckened vnto them with ye honde to holde their peace and tolde them by what meanes ye Lorde had brought him oute of the preson. And sayde: goo shew these thinges vnto Iames and to the brethren. And he departed and went into a nother place.
かれ手を搖かして人々を鎭め、主の己を獄より導きいだし給ひしことを具に語り『これをヤコブと兄弟たちとに告げよ』と言ひて他の處に出で往けり。
18 Assone as it was daye ther was no lyttell a doo amoge the soudyers what was becum of Peter.
夜明になりて、ペテロは如何にせしとて兵卒の中の騷 一方ならず。
19 When Herode had called for him and founde him not he examined the kepers and comaunded to departe. And he descended from Iewry to Cesarea and ther abode.
ヘロデ之を索むれど見出さず、遂に守卒を訊して死罪を命じ、而してユダヤよりカイザリヤに下りて留れり。
20 Herode was displeased with them of Tyre and Sydon. And they came all at once and made intercession vnto Blastus the kynges chamberlen and desyred peace because their countrey was norysshed by the kynges londe.
偖ヘロデ、ツロとシドンとの人々を甚く怒りたれば、其の民ども心を一つにして彼の許にいたり、王の内侍の臣ブラストに取 入りて和諧を求む。かれらの地方は王の國より食品を得るに因りてなり。
21 And upon a daye appoynted Herode arayed him in royall apparell and set him in his seate and made an oraycon vnto them.
ヘロデ定めたる日に及びて王の服を著け高座に坐して言を宣べたれば、
22 And the people gave a shoute sayinge: it is ye voyce of a God and not of a man.
集民よばはりて『これ神の聲なり、人の聲にあらず』と言ふ。
23 And immediatly the angell of ye Lorde smote him because he gave not God the honoure and he was eatyn of wormes and gave vp the goost.
ヘロデ神に榮光を歸せぬに因りて、主の使たちどころに彼を撃ちたれば、蟲に噛まれて息 絶えたり。
24 And ye worde of God grewe and multiplied.
かくて主の御言いよいよ増々ひろまる。
25 And Barnabas and Paul returned to Ierusalem when they had fulfilled their office and toke with them Iohn which was also called Marcus.
バルナバ、サウロはその職務を果し、マルコと稱ふるヨハネを伴ひてエルサレムより歸れり。
