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、

It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number of both of Jews and of 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 disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the non-Jewish people against the brothers.

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。

Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting 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、

But the population of the city was divided. Some sided 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、

When some of both the non-Jewish people and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat 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 became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

7 彼處にて福音を宣傳へ居たり。

There they preached the Good News.

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、

At Lystra a certain man sat, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had 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、

He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

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 upright on your feet." He leaped 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、

When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in human form."

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、

They called Barnabas "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.

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。

The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a 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 when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang 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。

"Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is 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 generations gone by allowed all the 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。

Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky 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。

Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from making a 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、

But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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 rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out 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、

When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, 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。

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions 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。

When they had appointed elders for them in every church, and had prayed with fasting, 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、

They passed through Pisidia, and 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、

When they had 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。

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where 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、

When they had arrived, and had gathered the church together, they reported all the things 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 with the disciples a long time.
