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、
NOW it came to pass at Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake in such a manner, as that a vast multitude both of the Jews and Greek proselytes 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 unbelieving Jews stirred up, and maliciously prejudiced the spirits of the Gentiles 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。
A long space therefore continued they there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be wrought 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、
So the multitude was divided: some indeed were with the Jews, but others 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 there was a strong effort made both by the Gentiles and Jews with their rulers to ill-treat 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、
conscious of their danger, they fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the circum-jacent country:
7 彼處にて福音を宣傳へ居たり。
and there they preached the gospel.
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 there was a certain man at Lystra, who having lost the use of his feet was sitting, being lame from his mother’s womb, and who had never been able to walk:
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 person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering 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, Stand up firm on thy feet! And he leaped 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 when the multitudes beheld what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, in the dialect of Lycaonia, saying, The gods in the form of mortals 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 principally led the discourse.
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。
Then the priest of Jupiter, who was the presiding deity of their city, brought bulls and garlands unto the gates of the city, and intended to offer a sacrifice with the people.
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 when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard it, they rent their garments, and rushed into the crowd, crying out,
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, Sirs, why do ye these things? We too are mortals subject to the same infirmities with you; preaching to you the gospel, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things which are therein:
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 hath suffered all nations to walk 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。
Although indeed he left not himself untestified of, doing us good, giving us from heaven showers, and fruitful seasons, replenishing our 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 thus speaking, scarce restrained they the multitudes from offering the sacrifice 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、
Then came the Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and gaining over the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
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 as the disciples stood around him, he arose, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he departed with Barnabas for 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 after preaching the gospel in that city, and bringing many to become 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。
strengthening the souls of the brethren, exhorting them to abide firm in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must pass into the kingdom of heaven.
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。
Then appointing them presbyters in every city, by prayer with fastings they commended 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、
Then passing through Pisidia, they came unto 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 went 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 sailed for Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God for the service which they had performed.
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、
So when they arrived they called the church together, and related what great things God had done by them, and that he had opened to the heathen the door of faith.
28 久しく弟子等の共に留れり。
And there they abode no inconsiderable time with the disciples.
