Acts 15
1 Then cam certayne from Iewrie and taught the brethren: excepte ye be circumcysed after the maner of Moses ye cannot be saved.
或 人々ユダヤより下りて、兄弟たちに『なんぢらモーセの例に遵ひて割禮を受けずば救はるるを得ず』と教ふ。
2 And when ther was rysen dissencion and disputinge not a litle vnto Paul and Barnabas agaynst them. They determined that Paul and Barnabas and certayne other of them shuld ascende to Ierusalem vnto the Apostles and elders aboute this question.
ここに彼らとパウロ及びバルナバとの間に、大なる紛爭と議論と起りたれば、兄弟たちはパウロ、バルナバ及びその中の數人をエルサレムに上らせ、此の問題につきて使徒・長老たちに問はしめんと定む。
3 And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion they passed over Phenices and Samaria declarynge the conuersion of the getyls and they brought great ioye vnto all ye brethren.
かれら教會の人々に見 送られて、ピニケ及びサマリヤを經、異邦人の改宗せしことを具に告げて、凡ての兄弟に大なる喜悦を得させたり。
4 And when they were come to Ierusalem they were receaved of the congregacion and of the Apostles and elders. And they declared what thinges God had done by them.
エルサレムに到り、教會と使徒と長老とに迎へられ、神が己らと偕に在して爲し給ひし凡ての事を述べたるに、
5 Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and dyd beleve sayinge that it was nedfull to circucise them and to enioyne the to kepe ye lawe of Moses.
信者となりたるパリサイ派の或 人々 立ちて『異邦人にも割禮を施し、モーセの律法を守ることを命ぜざる可からず』と言ふ。
6 And ye Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter.
ここに使徒・長老たち此の事につきて協議せんとて集る。
7 And when ther was moche disputinge Peter rose vp and sayde vnto them: Ye men and brethren ye knowe how that a good whyle agoo God chose amoge vs that the getyls by my mouth shuld heare the worde of the gospell and beleve.
多くの議論ありし後、ペテロ起ちて言ふ『兄弟たちよ、汝らの知るごとく、久しき前に神は、なんぢらの中より我を選び、わが口より異邦人に福音の言を聞かせ、之を信ぜしめんとし給へり。
8 And God which knoweth the herte bare them witnes and gave vnto them the holy goost eve as he dyd vnto vs
人の心を知りたまふ神は、我らと同じく、彼 等にも聖 靈を與へて證をなし、
9 and he put no difference bitwene them and vs but with fayth purified their hertes.
かつ信仰によりて彼らの心をきよめ、我らと彼らとの間に隔を置き給はざりき。
10 Now therfore why tempte ye God that ye wolde put a yoke on the disciples neckes which nether oure fathers nor we were able to beare.
然るに何ぞ神を試みて、弟子たちの頸に我らの先祖も我らも負ひ能はざりし軛をかけんとするか。
11 But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we shalbe saved as they doo.
然らず、我らの救はるるも彼らと均しく主イエスの恩惠に由ることを我らは信ず』
12 Then all the multitude was peased and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul which tolde what signes and wondres God had shewed amonge the gentyls by them.
ここに會衆みな默して、バルナバとパウロとの、己 等によりて神が異邦人のうちに爲し給ひし多くの徴と不思議とを述ぶるを聽く。
13 And when they helde their peace Iames answered sayinge: Men and brethren herken vnto me.
彼らの語り終へし後、ヤコブ答へて言ふ『兄弟たちよ、我に聽け、
14 Simeon tolde how God at the begynnynge dyd visit the gentyls and receaved of them people vnto his name.
シメオン既に神の初めて異邦人を顧み、その中より御名を負ふべき民を取り給ひしことを述べしが、
15 And to this agreith ye wordes of ye Prophetes as it is written.
預言者たちの言もこれと合へり。
16 After this I will returne and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune and that which is fallen in dekey of it will I bilde agayne and I will set it vp
録して「こののち我かへりて、倒れたるダビデの幕屋を再び造り、その頽れし所をふたたび造り、而して之を立てん。
17 that the residue of men might seke after the Lorde and also the gentyls vpo whom my name is named saith ye Lorde which doth all these thinges:
これ殘餘の人々、主を尋ね求め、凡て我が名をもて稱へらるる異邦人もまた然せん爲なり。
古へより此 等のことを知らしめ給ふ主、これを言ひ給ふ」とあるが如し。 (aiōn g165)
19 Wherfore my sentece is yt we trouble not them which fro amonge the gentyls are turned to God:
之によりて我は判斷す、異邦人の中より神に歸依する人を煩はすべきにあらず。
20 but yt we write vnto them yt they abstayne them selves fro filthynes of ymages fro fornicacio from straglyd and fro bloude.
ただ書き贈りて、偶像に穢されたる物と、淫行と、絞殺したる物と、血とを避けしむべし。
21 For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye.
昔より、いづれの町にもモーセを宣ぶる者ありて、安息 日 毎に諸 會堂にてその書を讀めばなり』
22 Then pleased it the Apostles and elders wt the whole congregacio to sende chosyn men of their owne copany to Antioche with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Iudas called also Barsabas and Silas which were chefe men amonge the brethre
ここに使徒・長老たち及び全 教會は、その中より人を選びてパウロ、バルナバと共にアンテオケに送ることを可しとせり。選ばれたるは、バルサバと稱ふるユダとシラスとにて、兄弟たちの中の重立ちたる者なり。
23 and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.
之に托したる書にいふ『使徒および長老たる兄弟ら、アンテオケ、シリヤ、キリキヤに在る異邦人の兄弟たちの平安を祈る。
24 For as moche as we have hearde yt certayne which departed fro vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche comaundemet.
我等のうちの或 人々われらが命じもせぬに、言をもて汝らを煩はし、汝らの心を亂したりと聞きたれば、
25 It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul
我ら心を一つにして人を選びて、
26 men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.
我らの主イエス・キリストの名のために生命を惜まざりし者なる、我らの愛するバルナバ、パウロと共に汝らに遣すことを可しとせり。
27 We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas which shall also tell you the same thinges by mouth.
之によりて我らユダとシラスとを遣す、かれらも口づから此 等のことを述べん。
28 For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges:
聖 靈と我らとは左の肝要なるものの他に何をも汝らに負はせぬを可しとするなり。
29 that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well.
即ち偶像に献げたる物と、血と、絞殺したる物と、淫行とを避くべき事なり、汝 等これを愼まば善し。なんぢら健かなれ』
30 When they were departed they came to Antioche and gaddred the multitude togeder and delyvered ye pistle.
かれら別を告げてアンテオケに下り、人々を集めて書を付す。
31 When they had redde it they reioysed of that consolacion.
人々これを讀み慰安を得て喜べり。
32 And Iudas and Sylas beinge prophetes exhorted the brethren with moche preachynge and strengthed them.
ユダもシラスもまた預言者なれば、多くの言をもて兄弟たちを勸めて彼らを堅うし、
33 And after they had taryed there a space they were let goo in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
暫く留りてのち、兄弟たちに平安を祝せられ、別を告げて、己らを遣しし者に歸れり。
34 Not with stondynge it pleasyd Sylas to abyde there still.
[なし]
35 Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche teachynge and preachynge the worde of the Lorde with other many.
斯てパウロとバルナバとは尚アンテオケに留りて多くの人とともに主の御言を教へ、かつ宣傳へたり。
36 But after a certayne space Paul sayde vnto Barnabas: Let vs goo agayne and visite oure brethren in every cite where we have shewed the worde of the Lorde and se how they do.
數日の後パウロはバルナバに言ふ『いざ、我ら曩に主の御言を傳へし凡ての町にまた往きて、兄弟たちを訪ひ、その安否を尋ねん』
37 And Barnabas gave counsell to take wt them Iohn called also Marke.
バルナバはマルコと稱ふるヨハネを伴はんと望み、
38 But Paul thought it not mete to take him vnto their company whiche departed from them at Pamphylia and went not with them to the worke.
パウロは彼が曾てパンフリヤより離れ去りて、勤勞のために共に往かざりしをもて、伴ふは宣しからずと思ひ、
39 And the dissencion was so sharpe bitwene them that they departed a sunder one from the other: so that Barnabas toke Marke and sayled vnto Cypers.
激しき爭論となりて遂に二人 相 別れ、バルナバはマルコを伴ひ、舟にてクプロに渡り、
40 And Paul chose Sylas and departed delyvered of ye brethren vnto the grace of god.
パウロはシラスを選び、兄弟たちより主の恩惠に委ねられて出で立ち、
41 And he went thorowe all Cyria and Cilicia stablisshynge the congregacions.
シリヤ、キリキヤを經て諸 教會を堅うせり。
