使徒の働き 18
1 其後パウロアデンスを出でてコリントに至りしが
And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;
2 クロウヂオ[皇帝]が、ユデア人は皆ロマを去るべしとの命を下しし為に、近頃イタリアより來れる、ポント生れのアクィラと云へるユデア人と、其妻プリシルラとに遇ひしかば、彼等に近づき、
and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, ) came to them,
3 同業なりければ、同居して共に仕事を為し居たり、其は幕屋製造業なりき。
and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.
4 然て安息日毎に會堂に於て論じ、主イエズスの御名を挿みて、ユデア人とギリシア人とを勧め居りしが、
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 シラとチモテオとマケドニアより來りて後は、パウロ専ら宣教に從事し、イエズスのキリストたる事をユデア人に證明しけるに、
And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 彼等之に逆らひ且罵りければ、パウロ衣服を振ひて云ひけるは、汝等の血は汝等の首に歸すべし、我は罪なし、今より異邦人に赴かんとす、と。
But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I [am] pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.
7 斯て此處を去りて、神を尊べるチト、ユストと云へる人の家に入りしが、其家は會堂の隣にして、
And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.
8 會堂の司クリスポ其家族一同と共に主を信仰し、又コリント人夥しく教を聴きて、信じ且洗せられ居たり。
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 時に主夜中に幻影を以てパウロに曰ひけるは、懼れずして語れ、黙すること勿れ、
And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;
10 蓋我汝と共に在れば、汝に打蒐りて害する人あらじ、其は我民となるもの此市中に多ければなり、と。
because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.
11 斯てパウロは一年六箇月の間此處に滞在して、彼等の中に神の御言を教へたり。
And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 然るにガルリオがアカヤ[州]の総督たりし時、ユデア人心を合せてパウロに逆らひ、之を裁判所に召連れ、
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,
13 此人律法に反して神を尊ぶ事を人に勧む、と云ひければ、
saying, This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 パウロ口を開かんとしけるを、ガルリオユデア人に向ひて、ユデア人よ、不正の事、極惡の事ならば、我が汝等に聴くは素より道理なれど、
But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you;
15 若教と名義と汝等の律法とに関する問題ならば、汝等自ら之を視よ、我は斯る事の審判者となるを好まず、と云ひて、
but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] I do not intend to be judge of these things.
16 彼等を法廷より追出しければ、
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 彼等皆會堂の司ソステネスを捕へ、裁判所の前にて打擲きたり、然れどガルリオ豪も之を意とせざりき。
And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things.
18 パウロ尚久しく滞在して後、兄弟等に別を告げ、プリシルラ及びアクィラも同船して、シリアへ出帆せしが、早くよりの誓願にて、ケンクレに於て髪を剃りたりき。
And Paul, having yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow;
19 然てエフェゾに至り、彼二人を措きて自らは會堂に入り、ユデア人と論じ居りしが、
and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.
20 彼等尚久しく留らん事を請ひたれど、諾はずして、
And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,
21 別れを告げ、神の思召ならば再び汝等に返るべし、と云ひてエフェゾより出發し、
but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.
22 カイザリアに上陸して[エルザレムに]上り、教會に挨拶してアンチオキアに下れり。
And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
23 第四項 聖パウロ第三回の傳道旅行 パウロアンチオキアに滞在する事暫くにして出發せしが、次第にガラチア地方及びフリジアを巡りて、弟子一同を堅固ならしめたり。
And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.
24 時に名をアポルロと呼ばれ、能弁にして聖書に達したる、アレキサンドリア生れのユデア人、エフェゾに來りしが、
But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
25 此人曾て主の道を教へられ、唯ヨハネの洗禮を知るのみなりしかど、熱心家にして、イエズスの事を語り、且詳しく教へつつありき。
He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 然れば憚る所なく會堂に於て盡力し出でしを、プリシルラとアクィラと聞きて之を誘ひ、尚委しく主の道を説き聞かせたり。
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.
27 アポルロアカヤ[州]に往かんと欲しければ、兄弟等書簡を弟子等に贈りて、之を承容れん事を勧めしに、彼往きて後、既に信じたる人々に益する所多かりき。
And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace.
28 其は聖書によりてイエズスのキリストたる事を證明し、勇を振ひて公然ユデア人を説伏すればなり。
For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
