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 finding there a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who was lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because Claudius Cesar had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went 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 as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for they were tent-makers.
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 discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both 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 Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
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 blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth I will go to 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 departing thence, he went to the house of one named Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous 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。
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing the word 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、
And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "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。
for I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands 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 staid 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 accord rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice,
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 going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were indeed an act of injustice, or some wicked crime, it would be reasonable 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 about words, and names, and your law, settle it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 彼等を法廷より追出しければ、
And he ordered them away from the tribunal.
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 ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter.
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 after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head at 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 Esphesus, and left them there: but before his departure he himself went 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、
Though when they desired him to stay longer with them, he did not consent: but took his leave of them,
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、
saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. So 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 landing at Cesarea, went up to Jerusalem, and after he had saluted the church, 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 when he had spent some time there, he departed, and went in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia 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、
Now there came to Ephesus a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures.
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。
Who had been instructed in the way of our Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught clearly the things of the Lord, though he knew 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 as he began to speak openly in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla heard him and took him home, and expounded to 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 as he was inclined to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples exhorting them to receive him: who when he arrived, was very helpful to those who 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 disputed vehemently with the Jews in public, proving by the scriptures, that Jesus was the Christ.
