Acts 22
1 Ye men brethre and fathers heare myne answere which I make vnto you.
『兄弟たち親たちよ、今なんぢらに對する辯明を聽け』
2 Whe they hearde that he spake in ye Ebrue tonge to them they kept the moore silence. And he sayde:
人々そのヘブルの語を語るを聞きてますます靜になりたれば、又いふ、
3 I am verely aman which am a Iewe borne in Tharsus a cite in Cicill: neverthelesse yet brought vp in this cite at ye fete of Gamaliel and informed diligently in the lawe of the fathers and was fervent mynded to Godwarde as ye all are this same daye
『我はユダヤ人にてキリキヤのタルソに生れしが、此の都にて育てられ、ガマリエルの足下にて先祖たちの律法の嚴しき方に遵ひて教へられ、今日の汝らのごとく神に對して熱心なる者なりき。
4 and I persecuted this waye vnto the deeth byndynge and delyveringe into preson bothe men and wemen
我この道を迫害し、男女を縛りて獄に入れ、死にまで至らしめしことは、
5 as the chefe prest doth beare me witnes and all the elders: of whom also I receaved letters vnto the brethren and wet to Damasco to bringe them which were there bounde vnto Ierusalem for to be punysshed.
大 祭司も凡ての長老も我に就きて證するなり。我は彼 等より兄弟たちへの書を受けて、ダマスコに寓り居る者どもを縛り、エルサレムに曳き來りて罰を受けしめんとて彼處にゆけり。
6 And it fortuned as I made my iorney and was come nye vnto Damasco aboute none yt sodenly ther shone fro heaven a greate lyght rounde aboute me
往きてダマスコに近づきたるに、正午ごろ忽ち大なる光、天より出でて我を環り照せり。
7 and I fell vnto the erth and hearde a voyce sayinge vnto me: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
その時われ地に倒れ、かつ我に語りて「サウロ、サウロ、何ぞ我を迫害するか」といふ聲を聞き、
8 And I answered: what arte thou Lorde? And he sayd vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest.
「主よ、なんぢは誰ぞ」と答へしに「われは汝が迫害するナザレのイエスなり」と言ひ給へり。
9 And they that were with me sawe verely a lyght and were a frayde: but they hearde not the voyce of him that spake with me.
偕に居る者ども光は見しが、我に語る者の聲は聞かざりき。
10 And I sayde: what shall I do Lorde? And the Lorde sayde vnto me: Aryse and goo into Damasco and there it shalbe tolde the of all thinges which are apoynted for the to do.
われ復いふ「主よ、我なにを爲すべきか」主いひ給ふ「起ちてダマスコに往け、なんぢの爲すべき定りたる事は彼處にて悉とく告げらるべし」
11 And when I sawe nothynge for the brightnes of that light I was ledde by the honde of them that were with me and came into Damasco.
我は、かの光の晃耀にて目 見えずなりたれば、偕にをる者に手を引かれてダマスコに入りたり。
12 And one Ananias a perfect man and as pertayninge to the lawe havinge good reporte of all the Iewes which there dwelt
ここに律法に據れる敬虔の人にして、其の町に住む凡てのユダヤ人に令聞あるアナニヤという者あり。
13 came vnto me and stode and sayd vnto me: Brother Saul loke vp. And that same houre I receaved my sight and sawe him.
彼われに來り傍らに立ちて「兄弟サウロよ、見ることを得よ」と言ひたれば、その時、仰ぎて彼を見たり。
14 And he sayde the God of oure fathers hath ordeyned the before that thou shuldest knowe his will and shuldest se that which is rightfull and shuldest heare the voyce of his mouth:
かれ又いふ「我らの先祖の神は、なんぢを選びて御意を知らしめ、又かの義人を見、その御口の聲を聞かしめんとし給へり。
15 for thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men of tho thinges which thou thou hast sene and hearde.
これは汝の見 聞したる事につきて、凡ての人に對し彼の證人とならん爲なり。
16 And now: why tariest thou? Aryse and be baptised and wesshe awaye thy synnes in callinge on ye name of ye Lorde.
今なんぞ躊躇ふか、起て、その御名を呼び、バプテスマを受けて汝の罪を洗ひ去れ」
17 And it fortuned when I was come agayne to Ierusalem and prayde in the teple yt I was in a trauce
かくて我エルサレムに歸り、宮にて祈りをるとき、我を忘れし心地して主を見 奉るに、我に斯く言ひ給ふ、
18 and sawe him sayinge vnto me. Make haste and get the quickly out of Ierusalem: for they will not receave thy witnes yt thou bearest of me.
「なんぢ急げ、早くエルサレムを去れ、人々われに係る汝の證を受けぬ故なり」
19 And I sayde: Lorde they knowe that I presoned and bet in every synagoge them that beleved on the.
我いふ「主よ、我さきに汝を信ずる者を獄に入れ、諸 會堂にて之を扑ち、
20 And when the bloud of thy witnes Steven was sheed I also stode by and consented vnto his deeth and kept the rayment of them that slewe him.
又なんぢの證人ステパノの血の流されしとき、我もその傍らに立ちて之を可しとし、殺す者どもの衣を守りしことは、彼らの知る所なり」
21 And he sayde vnto me: departe for I will sende the a farre hence vnto the Gentyls.
われに言ひ給ふ「往け、我なんぢを遠く異邦人に遣すなり」と』
22 They gave him audience vnto this worde and then lifte vp their voyces and sayde: a waye wt soche a felowe fro the erth: yt is pitie that he shuld live.
人々きき居たりしが、此の言に及び、聲を揚げて言ふ『斯くのごとき者をば地より除け、生かしおくべき者ならず』
23 And as they cryed and cast of their clothes and thrue dust into ye ayer
斯く叫びつつ其の衣を脱ぎすて、塵を空中に撒きたれば、
24 ye captayne bade him to be brought into the castle and commaunded him to be scourged and to be examined that he myght knowe wherfore they cryed on him.
千卒長、人々が何 故パウロにむかひて斯く叫び呼はるかを知らんとし、鞭うちて訊ぶることを命じて、彼を陣營に曳き入れしむ。
25 And as they bounde him with thoges Paul sayde vnto the Centurion that stode by: Ys it laufull for you to scourge a man that is a Romain and vncondempned?
革鞭をあてんとてパウロを引き張りし時、かれ傍らに立つ百卒長に言ふ『ロマ人たる者を罪も定めずして鞭うつは可きか』
26 When the Centurion hearde that he went and tolde the vpper captayne sayinge: What intendest thou to do? This man is a Romayne.
百卒長これを聞きて千卒長に往き、告げて言ふ『なんぢ何をなさんとするか、此の人はロマ人なり』
27 Then the vpper captayne came and sayde to him: tell me art thou a Romayne? He sayde: Yee.
千卒長きたりて言ふ『なんぢはロマ人なるか、我に告げよ』かれ言ふ『然り』
28 And the captayne answered: with a greate some obtayned I this fredome. And Paul sayde: I was fre borne.
千卒長こたふ『我は多くの金をもて此の民 籍を得たり』パウロ言ふ『我は生れながらなり』
29 Then strayght waye departed from him they which shuld have examyned him. And the hye captayne also was a frayde after he knewe that he was a Romayne: because he had bounde him.
ここに訊べんとせし者どもは直ちに去り、千卒長はそのロマ人なるを知り、之を縛りしことを懼れたり。
30 On the morowe because he wolde have knowen the certayntie wherfore he was accused of the Iewes he lowsed him from his bondes and commaunded the hye Prestes and all the counsell to come together and brought Paul and set him before them.
明くる日、千卒長かれが何 故ユダヤ人に訴へられしか、確なる事を知らんと欲して、彼の縛を解き、命じて祭司長らと全 議會とを呼び集め、パウロを曳き出して其の前に立たしめたり。
