使徒の働き 14
1 イコニオムに於て、兩人相共にユデア人の會堂に入りて語りければ、ユデア人及びギリシア人の之を信ずる者夥しかりしが、
And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 信ぜざるユデア人は異邦人の心を煽動し、弟子等に對して怒を起させたり。
But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of [those of] the nations and made [them] evil-affected against the brethren.
3 然れど兩人は久しく滞在して、憚る所なく主の為に盡力し、主は彼等の手によりて徴と奇蹟とを行はしめて、恩寵の教を保證し給へり。
They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, [confiding] in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 然るに町の住民二個に分れて、或はユデア人の味方となり、或は使徒等の味方となりしが、
And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.
5 異邦人とユデア人と其長等と共に、騒立ちて兩人を辱しめ、又石を擲たんとせしかば、
And when an assault was making, both of [those of] the nations and [the] Jews with their rulers, to use [them] ill and stone them,
6 兩人覚りてリカオニア[州]の町なるリストラ、デルペン及び其辺の地方に避け、
they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,
7 彼處にて福音を宣傳へ居たり。
and there they were announcing the glad tidings.
8 リストラに足の叶はぬ一人の男坐り居り、生來の跛者にて、曾て歩みたる事なかりしが、
And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, [being] lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.
9 パウロの語れるを聴きければ、パウロ目を之に注ぎて、醫さるべき信仰あるを見、
This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 汝眞直に立上れ、と聲高く云ひしかば、彼躍上りて歩み居たり。
said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.
11 群集パウロが為せる事を見て聲を揚げ、リカオニアの方言にて、神々は人の姿にて我等に降り給へり、と云ひて、
But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.
12 バルナバをヅウスと呼び、パウロを言の長ぜるが故にヘルメスと呼び、
And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.
13 又町の此方に在るズウスの神官、數多の牡牛と花飾とを門前に携へ來りて、人民と共に犠牲を献げんとせり。
And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 使徒等即ちバルナバとパウロと之を聞くや、己が衣服を裂き、群集の中に跳入りて、
But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard [it], rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying
15 呼はりつつ云ひけるは、人々よ、何ぞ之を為せるや、我等も汝等と同じく有情の人間にして、汝等に福音を宣べ、彼空しき物を離れ、汝等をして天、地、海、及び其中に在りと有らゆる物を造り給ひし、活ける神に転ぜしめんとするなり。
and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;
16 神は前代に於て萬民が己々の道を歩むを措き給ひしも、
who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,
17 自らを證明し給はざる事なく、天より恵みを垂れ給ひて、雨を降らし實の季節を與へ、食物と欣喜とを以て、我等の心を満たしめ給ふなり、と。
though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 兩人是等の事を語りて、辛うじて群集を止め、己等に祭を献げざらしめたり。
And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19 時に數人のユデア人、アンチオキアとイコニオムとより來り、群集を煽動してパウロに石を擲ち、既に死せりと思ひて町の外に引出だしけるが、
But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
20 弟子等之を立圍みけるに、彼起上りて町に入り、翌日バルナバと共にデルペンに出立せり。
But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 然て兩人此町に福音を宣べて多くの人を教へし後、リストラとイコニオムとアンチオキアとに戻り、
And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,
22 弟子等の魂を堅め、信仰に止らん事を勧め、我等は許多の患難を経て神の國に入らざるべからず、と教へつつありき。
establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
23 又彼等の為に、教會毎に長老を立て、断食と祈祷とを為して、彼等を其信仰せる主に委ねたり。
And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 斯てピシジア[州]を経てパンフィリア[州]に至りしが、
And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,
25 [都]ペルゲンに於て主の御言を語りてアッタリア[港]に下り、
and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia;
26 其處より出帆して、此度為遂げたる事業を為すべき、神の恩寵に委ねられたりし處なるアンチオキアに歸れり。
and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 然て其處に至りて、教會の人々を集め、総て神の己等と共に為し給ひし事、又異邦人に信仰の門を開き給ひし事を報告し、
And having arrived, and having brought together the assembly, they related to them all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 久しく弟子等の共に留れり。
And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
