Acts 25
1 When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
フェスト任國にいたりて三日の後、カイザリヤよりエルサレムに上りたれば、
2 Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
祭司長ら及びユダヤ人の重立ちたる者ども、パウロを訴へ之を害はんとして、
3 and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
フェストの好意にて彼をエルサレムに召し出されんことを願ふ。斯くして道に待伏し、之を殺さんと思へるなり。
4 Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
然るにフェスト答へて、パウロのカイザリヤに囚はれ在ることと、己が程なく歸るべき事とを告げ、
5 Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
『もし彼に不 善あらんには、汝 等のうち然るべき者ども我とともに下りて訴ふべし』と言ふ。
6 When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgemet seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
かくて彼處に八日 十日ばかり居りてカイザリヤに下り、明くる日、審判の座に坐し、命じてパウロを引出さしむ。
7 When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
その出で來りし時、エルサレムより下りしユダヤ人ら、これを取圍みて樣々の重き罪を言ひ立てて訴ふれども、證すること能はず。
8 as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
パウロは辯明して言ふ『我はユダヤ人の律法に對しても、宮に對しても、カイザルに對しても、罪を犯したる事なし』
9 Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
フェスト、ユダヤ人の意を迎へんとしてパウロに答へて言ふ『なんぢエルサレムに上り、彼處にて我が前に審かるることを諾ふか』
10 Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
パウロ言ふ『我はわが審かるべきカイザルの審判の座の前に立ちをるなり。汝の能く知るごとく、我はユダヤ人を害ひしことなし。
11 If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
若しも罪を犯して死に當るべき事をなしたらんには、死ぬるを厭はじ。然れど此の人々の訴ふること實ならずば、誰も我を彼らに付すことを得じ、我はカイザルに上訴せん』
12 Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
ここにフェスト陪席の者と相 議りて答ふ『なんぢカイザルに上訴せんとす、カイザルの許に往くべし』
13 After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
數日を經て後、アグリッパ王とベルニケとカイザリヤに到りてフェストの安否を問ふ。
14 And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto ye kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
多くの日 留りゐたれば、フェスト、パウロのことを王に告げて言ふ『ここにペリクスが囚人として遺しおきたる一人の人あり、
15 about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
我エルサレムに居りしとき、ユダヤ人の祭司長・長老ら之を訴へて罪に定めんことを願ひしが、
16 To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge ye cryme layde agaynst him:
我は答へて、訴へらるる者の未だ訴ふる者の面前にて辯明する機を與へられぬ前に付すは、ロマ人の慣例にあらぬ事を告げたり。
17 whe they were come hidder wt out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and comaunded ye ma to be brought forthe.
この故に彼 等ここに集りたれば、時を延さず次の日 審判の座に坐し、命じてかの者を引出さしむ。
18 Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
訴ふる者かれを圍みて立ちしが、思ひしごとき惡しき事は一つも陳ぶる所なし。
19 but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
ただ己らの宗教、またはイエスと云ふ者の死にたるを活きたりと、パウロが主張するなどに關する問題のみなれば、
20 And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
かかる審理には我も當惑せし故、かの人に「なんぢエルサレムに往き彼處にて審かるる事を好むか」と問ひしに、
21 Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
パウロは上訴して皇帝の判決を受けん爲に守られんことを願ひしにより、命じて之をカイザルに送るまで守らせ置けり』
22 Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
アグリッパ、フェストに言ふ『我もその人に聽かんと欲す』フェスト言ふ『なんぢ明日かれに聽くべし』
23 And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
明くる日アグリッパとベルニケと大に威儀を整へてきたり、千卒長ら及び市の重立ちたる者どもと共に訊問所に入りたれば、フェストの命によりてパウロ引出さる。
24 And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present wt vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
フェスト言ふ『アグリッパ王、竝びに此處に居る凡ての者よ、汝らの見るこの人は、ユダヤの民衆が擧りて生かしおくべきにあらずと呼はりて、エルサレムにても此處にても我に訴へし者なり。
25 Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had comitted. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
然るに我はその死に當るべき惡しき事を一つだに犯したるを認めねば、彼の自ら皇帝に上訴せんとする隨にその許に送らんと決めたり。
26 Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
而して彼につきて我が主に上書すべき實 情を得ず。この故に汝 等のまへ、特にアグリッパ王よ、なんぢの前に引出し、訊問をなしてのち、上書すべき箇條を得んと思へり。
27 For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
囚人を送るに訴訟の次第を陳べざるは道理ならずと思ふ故なり』
