Acts 19
1 It fortuned whyll Appollo was at Corinthum that Paul passed thorow the vpper costes and came to Ephesus and foude certayne disciples
かくてアポロ、コリントに居りし時、パウロ東の地方を經てエペソに到り、或 弟子たちに逢ひて、
2 and sayd vnto them: have ye receaved the holy gost sence ye beleved? And they sayde vnto him: no we have not hearde whether ther be eny holy goost or no.
『なんぢら信者となりしとき聖 靈を受けしか』と言ひたれば、彼 等いふ『いな、我らは聖 靈の有ることすら聞かず』
3 And he sayd vnto them: wher wt were ye then baptised? And they sayd: with Iohns baptim
パウロ言ふ『されば何によりてバプテスマを受けしか』彼 等いふ『ヨハネのバプテスマなり』
4 Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely bapiised with the baptim of repentaunce sayinge vnto the people that they shuld beleve on him which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus.
パウロ言ふ『ヨハネは悔改のバプテスマを授けて、己に後れて來るもの（即ちイエス）を信ずべきことを民に云へるなり』
5 When they hearde that they were baptised in the name of the lorde Iesu.
彼 等これを聞きて主イエスの名によりてバプテスマを受く。
6 And Paul layde his hondes apon them and the holy gost came on them and they spake with tonges and prophesied
パウロ手を彼らの上に按きしとき、聖 靈その上に望みたれば、彼ら異言を語り、かつ預言せり。
7 and all the men were aboute. xii.
この人々は凡て十二 人ほどなり。
8 And he went into the synagoge and behaved him selfe boldely for the space of thre monethes disputynge and gevynge them exhortacions of the kyngdome of God.
ここにパウロ會堂に入りて、三个月のあひだ臆せずして神の國に就きて論じ、かつ勸めたり。
9 When dyvers wexed harde herted and beleved not but spake evyll of the waye and that before the multitude: he departed from them and seperated the disciples. And disputed dayly in ye scole of one called Tyranus.
然るに或 者ども頑固になりて從はず、會衆の前に神の道を譏りたれば、パウロ彼らを離れ、弟子たちをも退かしめ、日毎にツラノの會堂にて論ず。
10 And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so yt all they which dwelt in Asia hearde the worde of the lorde Iesu bothe Iewes and Grekes.
斯くすること二年の間なりしかば、アジヤに住む者は、ユダヤ人もギリシヤ人もみな主の言を聞けり。
11 And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul:
而して神はパウロの手によりて尋常ならぬ能力ある業を行ひたまふ。
12 so that from his body were brought vnto the sicke napkyns or partlettes and the diseases departed from the and the evyll spretes went out of them.
即ち人々かれの身より或は手拭あるひは前垂をとりて病める者に著くれば、病は去り惡 靈は出でたり。
13 Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth.
ここに諸國 遍歴の咒文 師なるユダヤ人 數人あり、試みに惡 靈に憑かれたる者に對して、主イエスの名を呼び『われパウロの宣ぶるイエスによりて、汝らに命ず』と言へり。
14 And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so.
斯くなせる者の中に、ユダヤの祭司長スケワの七人の子もありき。
15 And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye?
惡 靈こたへて言ふ『われイエスを知り、又パウロを知る。然れど汝らは誰ぞ』
16 And ye man in who the evyll sprete was ranne on the and overcame the and prevayled agaynst them so that they fledde out of that housse naked and wouded.
かくて惡 靈の入りたる人、かれらに跳びかかりて二人に勝ち、これを打拉ぎたれば、彼ら裸體になり傷を受けてその家を逃げ出でたり。
17 And this was knowen to all ye Iewes and Grekes also which dwelt at Ephesus and feare came on them all and they magnified the name of ye lorde Iesus.
此の事エペソに住む凡てのユダヤ人とギリシヤ人とに知れたれば、懼かれら一同のあひだに生じ、主イエスの名 崇めらる。
18 And many yt beleved came and confessed and shewed their workes.
信者となりし者おほく來り、懴悔して自らの行爲を告ぐ。
19 Many of the which vsed curious craftes brought their bokes and burned the before all men and they counted the price of the and foude it fifty thousande silverlynges.
また魔術を行ひし多くの者ども、その書物を持ちきたり、衆人の前にて焚きたるが、其の價を算ふれば銀 五 萬ほどなりき。
20 So myghtely grewe ye worde of god and prevayled.
主の言、大に弘りて權力を得しこと斯くの如し。
21 After these thinges were ended Paul purposed in the sprete to passe over Macedonia and Achaia and to goo to Ierusalem saying: After I have bene there I must also se Rome.
此 等の事のありし後、パウロ、マケドニヤ、アカヤを經てエルサレムに往かんと心を決めて言ふ『われ彼處に到りてのち必ずロマをも見るべし』
22 So sent he into Macedonia two of the that ministred vnto him Timotheus and Erastus: but he him selfe remayned in Asia for a season.
かくて己に事ふる者の中にてテモテとエラストとの二人をマケドニヤに遣し、自己はアジヤに暫く留る。
23 The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.
その頃この道に就きて一方ならぬ騷擾おこれり。
24 For a certayne man named Demetrius a silvermyth which made silver schrynes for Diana was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftes men.
デメテリオと云ふ銀 細工人ありしが、アルテミスの銀の小宮を造りて細工人らに多くの業を得させたり。
25 Which he called to geder with the worke men of lyke occupacion and sayd: Syrs ye knowe that by this crafte we have vauntage.
それらの者および同じ類の職業 者を集めて言ふ『人々よ、われらが此の業に頼りて利 益を得ることは、汝らの知る所なり。
26 Moreover ye se and heare that not alone at Ephesus but almost thorowe oute all Asia this Paul hath persuaded and turned awaye moche people saying yt they be not goddes which are made wt hondes.
然るに、かのパウロは手にて造れる物は神にあらずと云ひて、唯にエペソのみならず、殆ど全アジヤにわたり、多くの人々を説き勸めて惑したり、これ亦なんぢらの見 聞する所なり。
27 So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that ye temple of ye greate goddas Diana shuld be despysed and her magnificence shuld be destroyed which all Asia and the worlde worshippeth.
かくては啻に我らの職業の輕しめらるる恐あるのみならず、また大女神アルテミスの宮も蔑せられ、全アジヤ全世界のをがむ大女神の稜威も滅ぶるに至らん』
28 When they hearde these sayinges they were full of wrathe and cryed out saying: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
彼 等これを聞きて憤恚に滿され、叫びて言ふ『大なる哉、エペソ人のアルテミス』
29 And all the cite was on a roore and they russhed in to the comen hall with one assent and caught Gayus and Aristarcus men of Macedonia Pauls companios.
かくて町 擧りて騷ぎ立ち、人々パウロの同行 者なるマケドニヤ人ガイオとアリスタルコとを捕へ、心を一つにして劇場に押入りたり。
30 When Paul wolde have entred in vnto the people ye disciples suffered him not.
パウロ集民のなかに入らんとしたれど、弟子たち許さず。
31 Certayne also of ye chefe of Asia which were his frendes sent vnto him desyrynge him that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.
又アジヤの祭の司のうちの或 者どもも彼と親しかりしかば、人を遣して劇場に入らぬやうにと勸めたり。
32 Some cryed one thinge and some another and the congregacion was all out of quiet and ye moare parte knewe not wherfore they were come togeder.
ここに會衆おほいに亂れ、大方はその何のために集りたるかを知らずして、或 者はこの事を、或 者はかの事を叫びたり。
33 Some of the company drue forth Alexander the Iewes thrustynge him forwardes. Alexander beckened with the honde and wolde have geven ye people an answer.
遂に群衆の或 者ども、ユダヤ人の推し出したるアレキサンデルに勸めたれば、かれ手を搖かして集民に辯明をなさんとすれど、
34 When they knewe ye he was a Iewe ther arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres of all men cryinge greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
其のユダヤ人たるを知り、みな同音に『おほいなる哉、エペソ人のアルテミス』と呼はりて二 時間ばかりに及ぶ。
35 When the toune clarcke had ceased the people he sayd: ye men of Ephesus what man is it that knoweth not how that the cite of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddas Diana and of ye ymage which came fro heven.
時に書記役、群衆を鎭めおきて言ふ『さてエペソ人よ、誰かエペソの町が大女神アルテミス及び天より降りし像の宮守なることを知らざる者あらんや。
36 Seinge then yt no man sayth here agaynst ye ought to be content and to do nothinge rasshly:
これは言ひ消し難きことなれば、なんぢら靜なるべし、妄なる事を爲すべからず。
37 For ye have brought hyther these me whiche are nether robbers of churches nor yet despisers of youre goddes.
この人々は宮の物を盜む者にあらず、我らの女 神を謗る者にもあらず、然るに汝ら之を曳き來れり。
38 Wherfore yf Demetrius and the craftes men which are wt him have eny sayinge to eny man the lawe is open and ther are ruelars let the accuse one another.
もしデメテリオ及び偕にをる細工人ら、人に就きて訴ふべき事あらば、裁判の日あり、かつ司あり、彼 等おのおの訴ふべし。
39 Yf ye goo about eny other thinge it maye be determined in a lawfull cogregacion
もし又ほかの事につきて議する所あらば、正式の議會にて決すべし。
40 For we are in ieoperdy to be accused of this dayes busines: for as moche as ther is no cause wherby we maye geve a rekenynge of this concourse of people.
我ら今日の騷擾につきては、何の理由もなきにより咎を受くる恐あり。この會合につきて言ひひらくこと能はねばなり』
41 And when he had thus spoken he let the congregacion departe.
斯く言ひて集會を散じたり。
