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
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and 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 found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; ( because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto 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 he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
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 the Jews and the 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 Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was 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。
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
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 he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to 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。
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
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、
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
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。
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for 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 continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
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、
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought 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 fellow persuadeth 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、
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear 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 a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16 彼等を法廷より追出しければ、
And he drave 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。
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those 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 after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into 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 came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and 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、
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
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 this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed 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 when he had landed at Cæsarea, and 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 after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening 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、
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to 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。
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, 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: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
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 was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had 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 mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
