Acts 26
1 Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.
アグリッパ、パウロに言ふ『なんぢは自己のために陳ぶることを許されたり』ここにパウロ手を伸べ、辯明して言ふ、
2 I thynke my selfe happy kynge Agrippa because I shall answere this daye before the of all the thinges wherof I am accused of ye Iewes
『アグリッパ王よ、我ユダヤ人より訴へられし凡ての事につきて、今日なんぢらの前に辯明するを我が幸福とす。
3 namely because thou arte experte in all customes and questions which are amonge the Iewes. Wherfore I beseche the to heare me paciently.
汝がユダヤ人の凡ての習慣と問題とを知るによりて殊に然りとす。されば請ふ、忍びて我に聽け。
4 My lyvynge of a chylde which was at the fyrst amoge myne awne nacion at Ierusalem knowe all the Iewes
わが始より國人のうちに又エルサレムに於ける幼き時よりの生活の状は、ユダヤ人のみな知る所なり。
5 which knew me from ye beginnynge yf they wolde testifie it. For after the most straytest secte of oure laye lyved I a pharisaye.
彼 等もし證せんと思はば、わが我らの宗教の最も嚴しき派に從ひて、パリサイ人の生活をなしし事を始より知れり。
6 And now I stond and am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure fathers:
今わが立ちて審かるるは、神が我らの先祖たちに約束し給ひしことの希望に因りてなり。
7 vnto which promes oure. xii. tribes instantly servynge God daye and nyght hope to come. For which hopes sake kynge Agrippa am I accused of the Iewes.
之を得んことを望みて、我が十二の族は夜も晝も熱心に神に事ふるなり。王よ、この希望につきて、我はユダヤ人に訴へられたり。
8 Why shuld it be thought a thinge vncredible vnto you that god shuld rayse agayne the deed?
神は死人を甦へらせ給ふとも、汝 等なんぞ信じ難しとするか。
9 I also verely thought in my selfe that I ought to do many cotrary thinges clene agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:
我も曩にはナザレ人イエスの名に逆ひて樣々の事をなすを宜きことと自ら思へり。
10 which thinge I also dyd in Ierusalem. Where many of the sainctes I shut vp in preson and had receaved auctorite of ye hye prestes. And whe they were put to deeth I gave the sentence.
我エルサレムにて之をおこなひ、祭司長らより權威を受けて多くの聖徒を獄にいれ、彼らの殺されし時これに同意し、
11 And I punysshed them ofte in every synagoge and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad apon them and persecuted the even vnto straunge cities.
諸 教會堂にてしばしば彼らを罰し、強ひて瀆言を言はしめんとし、甚だしく狂ひ、迫害して外國の町にまで至れり。
12 About the which thinges as I went to Damasco with auctorite and licence of the hye Prestes
此のとき祭司長らより權威と委任とを受けてダマスコに赴きしが、
13 even at myddaye (o kynge) I sawe in ye waye a lyght from heven above the brightnes of the sunne shyne rounde about me and them which iorneyed with me.
王よ、その途にて正午ごろ天よりの光を見たり、日にも勝りて輝き、我と伴侶とを圍み照せり。
14 When we were all fallen to the erth I hearde a voyce speakynge vnto me and sayinge in ye Hebrue tonge: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? It is harde for the to kicke agaynste the pricke.
我等みな地に倒れたるに、ヘブルの語にて「サウロ、サウロ、何ぞ我を迫害するか、刺ある策を蹴るは難し」といふ聲を我きけり。
15 And I sayde: Who arte thou lorde? And he sayde I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
われ言ふ「主よ、なんぢは誰ぞ」主いひ給ふ「われは汝が迫害するイエスなり。
16 But ryse and stond vp on thy fete. For I have apered vnto the for this purpose to make the a minister and a witnes both of tho thinges which thou hast sene and of tho thinges in the which I will appere vnto the
起きて汝の足にて立て、わが汝に現れしは、汝をたてて其の見しことと我が汝に現れて示さんとする事との役者また證人たらしめん爲なり。
17 delyverynge the from the people and from ye gentyls vnto which nowe I sende the
我なんぢを此の民および異邦人より救はん、又なんぢを彼らに遣し、
18 to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritauce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.
その目をひらきて暗より光に、サタンの權威より神に立ち歸らせ、我に對する信仰によりて罪の赦と潔められたる者のうちの嗣業とを得しめん」と。
19 Wherfore kynge Agrippa I was not disobedient vnto the hevenly vision:
この故にアグリッパ王よ、われは天よりの顯示に背かずして、
20 but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco and at Ierusalem and thorow out all the costes of Iewry and to the gentyls that they shuld repent and turne to God and do the ryght workes of repentaunce.
先づダマスコに居るもの、次にエルサレム及びユダヤ全國、また異邦人にまで、悔改めて神に立ちかへり、其の悔改にかなふ業をなすべきことを宣傅へたり。
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the temple and went about to kyll me.
之がためにユダヤ人われを宮にて捕へ、かつ殺さんとせり。
22 Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come
然るに神の祐によりて今日に至るまで尚 存へて、小なる人にも大なる人にも證をなし、言ふところは預言者およびモーセが必ず來るべしと語りしことの外ならず。
23 that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.
即ちキリストの苦難を受くべきこと、最先に死人の中より甦へる事によりて、民と異邦人とに光を傳ふべきこと是なり』
24 As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.
パウロ斯く辯明しつつある時、フェスト大聲に言ふ『パウロよ、なんぢ狂氣せり、博學なんぢを狂氣せしめたり』
25 And Paul sayde: I am not mad most dere Festus: but speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
パウロ言ふ『フェスト閣下よ、我は狂氣せず、宣ぶる所は眞にして慥なる言なり。
26 The kynge knoweth of these thinges before whom I speke frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thinges are hydden fro him. For this thinge was not done in a corner.
王は此 等のことを知るゆゑに、我その前に憚らずして語る。これらの事は片隅に行はれたるにあらねば、一つとして王の眼に隱れたるはなしと信ずるに因る。
27 Kynge Agrippa belevest thou ye prophetes? I wote well thou belevest.
アグリッパ王よ、なんぢ預言者の書を信ずるか、我なんぢの信ずることを知る』
28 Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.
アグリッパ、パウロに言ふ『なんぢ説くこと僅にして我をキリステアンたらしめんとするか』
29 And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.
パウロ言ふ『説くことの僅なるにもせよ、多きにもせよ、神に願ふは、啻に汝のみならず、凡て今日われに聽ける者の、この縲絏なくして我がごとき者とならんことなり』
30 And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.
ここに王も總督もベルニケも、列座の者どもも皆ともに立つ、
31 And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.
退きてのち相 語りて言ふ『この人は死罪または縲絏に當るべき事をなさず』
32 Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.
アグリッパ、フェストに言ふ『この人カイザルに上訴せざりしならば釋さるべかりしなり』
