使徒の働き 1
1 第一款 キリスト傳と聖會史との間の事柄 テオフィロよ、我前に第一の書を作りて、総てイエズスの初より行ひ且教へ給ひしことを述べ、
I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 其選み給ひし使徒等に聖霊に由りて命じ置き、然て天に上げられ給ひし日までに及びたりしが、
until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
3 イエズス御受難の後、多くの徴を以て、彼等に己の活きたる事を證明し、四十日の間彼等に現れ、神の國に関して談り給へり。
to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
4 第一 キリストの御昇天 又共に食しつつ彼等に、エルザレムを離れずして父の約束を待つべしと命じ、然て曰ひけるは、「汝等我口づから其約束を聞けり、
and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
5 蓋ヨハネは水にて洗したれども、汝等は日久しからずして聖霊にて洗せらるべきなり、と。
For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
6 然れば集りたる人々問ひて、主よ、イスラエルの國を回復し給ふは此頃なるか、と云ひければ、
They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
7 イエズス曰ひけるは、父が其権能によりて定め給ひし時刻は、汝等の知るべきに非ず、
And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
8 但汝等に臨み給ふ聖霊の能力を受けて、汝等はエルザレム、ユデア全國、サマリア、地の極に至る迄も我が證人とならん、と。
but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
9 斯く曰ひ終てて彼等の見る中に上げられ給ひしが、一叢の雲之を受けて見えざらしめたり。
And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 彼等が猶天に昇往き給ふを眺め居たる程に、白衣の人二人忽ち彼等の傍に立ちて言ひけるは、
And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 ガリレア人よ、何ぞ天を仰ぎつつ立てるや、汝等を離れて天に上げられ給ひし此イエズスは、汝等が其天に往き給ふを見たる如く、復斯の如くにして來り給ふべし、と。
who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
12 第二 使徒等ユダの後任者を選む 然て使徒等、橄欖山と云へる山よりエルザレムに還りしが、此山はエルザレムに近く、安息日にも行かるべき道程なり。
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
13 然て入りてペトロとヨハネ、ヤコボとアンデレア、フィリッポとトマ、バルトロメオとマテオ、アルフェオの子ヤコボとゼロテなるシモンと、ヤコボの兄弟ユダとの宿れる高間に登りしが、
And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.
14 彼等皆婦人等及びイエズスの母マリア、及びイエズスの兄弟等と共に、心を同じうして耐忍びつつ祈祷に從事し居たり。
These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 其頃、共に集れる人約百廿名なりしが、ペトロ兄弟の中に立ちて云ひけるは、
And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
16 兄弟の人々よ、イエズスを捕へし者等の案内者となりしユダに就きて、聖霊がダヴィドの口を以て預言し給ひたる聖書は、成就せざるべからず。
Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
17 彼は我等の員に入りて此聖役に與りたれども、
for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
18 不義の價を以て畑を求め、（吊されて）俯伏に倒れ、其身眞中より裂けて腸悉く迸り出でたり。
(This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 此事エルザレムの住民に知れ渡りて、此畑は彼等の方言にてハケルダマ、即ち血の畑と呼ばれたり。
And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
20 蓋詩の書に録して、「彼の檻は荒れて、之に住む人なかるべし」、又「他人其務を受くべし」、とあれば、
For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
21 我等と共に集れる此人々の中より、総て主イエズス、キリストが我等の中に出入し給ひし間、
It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
22 即ちヨハネの洗禮より始め、我等を離れて上げられ給ひし日に至るまで、一所に在りし者の一人、我等と共に其復活の證人とならざるべからず、と。
beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 是に於て彼等、バルサバと呼ばれ、義人と綽名されたるヨゼフと、マチアとの二人を挙げ、
And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 祈りて云ひけるは、総ての人の心を知り給へる主よ、ユダの己が處に往かんとて退きし此務と使徒職とを引受くべく、
And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
25 此二人の何れを選み給へるかを知らしめ給へ、と。
to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
26 斯て彼等に鬮を與へしに、鬮はマチアに當りしかば、彼十一人の使徒に加へられたり。
And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
