使徒の働き 21
1 我等は漸く彼等に別れて船に乗り、コス[島]に直航して翌日ロデ[島]に至り、其よりパタラ[市]に往きしが、
And it came to pass, that after we were got from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 フェニケアへ渡海する船に遇ひたれば、之に乗りて出帆し、
And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 クプロ[島]沖に至り、之を左に見てシリアに渡り、チロに至れり。其は其處にて船荷を卸すべければなり。
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unload her burden.
4 然て弟子等を尋出して、其處に留る事七日なりしが、彼等は[聖]霊によりて、パウロにエルザレムへ上ること勿れ、と謂ひ居たり。
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, (pneuma) that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 七日の後出發して往きけるに、彼等皆妻子と共に市外まで送りしかば、我等は海岸に跪きて祈り、
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 互に別を告げて、我等は船に乗り彼等は家に歸れり。
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 斯て我等チロより海を渡り終てて、プトレマイスに上陸し、兄弟等に挨拶して彼等の許に留る事一日、
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 翌日出立してカイザリアに至り、彼七人の一人なるフィリッポ福音師の家に入りて其許に留りしが、
And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 是に童貞なる四人の女ありて、皆預言しつつありき。
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 我等が數日此處に止れる間に、アガポと云へる一人の預言者ユデアより來り、
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 我等に近づきてパウロの帯を取り、己が手足を縛りて云ひけるは、聖霊曰はく、エルザレムに於て斯の如く、ユデア人此帯の主をば縛りて異邦人に付さん、と。
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 之を聞きて、我等も土地の人々も、エルザレムに上ること勿れと願ひ居たれど、
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 パウロ答へて云ひけるは、汝等何為ぞ泣きて我心を憂ひしむる、我は主イエズスの御名の為には、エルザレムに於て縛らるる耳ならず、死ぬる覚悟をさえ為せるなり、と。
Then Paul answered, What mean all of you to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 我等は終に説得ずして、主の御旨の儘に成れかし、と云ひて止みたり。
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 數日の後、我等は旅支度してエルザレムに上る時、
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 カイザリアよりの弟子數人、來りて我等に伴ひ、ムナソンと云へるクプロ生れの古き弟子の許に宿らせんとて、其家に伴ひ行けり。
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 第五項 エルザレムに於るパウロ就縛 エルザレムに至りしかば、兄弟等は我等を歓迎せり。
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 翌日パウロ我等と共にヤコボの家に入りしに、長老等皆集りしかば、
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 パウロ彼等に接吻して、己が聖役に由りて異邦人の中に神の為し給ひし事を具に語りけるに、
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 彼等聞きて神を賞賛し、且パウロに謂ひけるは、兄弟よ、汝の見る如く、ユデア人の中信じたる者幾萬に及びて、皆律法の熱心家なるが、
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 彼等は、汝が異邦人中のユデア人に向ひ、面々の男子等に割禮を授くるに及ばず、慣例に從ふに及ばず、と云ひてモイゼに遠ざかる事を教ふるを聞けり。
And they are informed of you, that you teach all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 然て如何にかすべき、彼等は汝が來れる事を聞くべければ、必ず夥しく來集るならん。
What is it therefore? the multitude must essentially come together: for they will hear that you are come.
23 然れば我等が汝に告ぐる所を為せ、我等に誓願を有せる人四人あり、
Do therefore this that we say to you: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 汝彼等を引取りて共に身を潔め、且費用を弁じて其頭を剃り得させよ、然せば人皆、汝に就きて聞きし所の僞にして、汝自ら律法を守りつつ歩める事を知るべし、
Them take, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
25 異邦人にして信じたる人々に関しては、我等議定して、唯、偶像に献げられし物と血と絞殺されしものと私通とを避くべし、と書贈れり、と。
As concerning the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 斯てパウロ彼人々を引取り、翌日身を潔めて共に[神]殿に入り、面々の為に供物を為さんとて、潔の期日を定めたり。
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 七日の終らんとする時、[小]アジアよりのユデア人、パウロを[神]殿の内に見しかば、人民を煽動し、彼に手を懸けて叫びけるは、
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 助けよ、イスラエルの男子等、是至る處に人民と律法と此所とに反する事を人々に教へ、而も異邦人を[神]殿に入らしめて、此聖所を穢せる者なり、と。
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teaches all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and has polluted this holy place.
29 蓋彼等はエフェゾ人なるトロフィモが彼と共に市中に在るを見て、パウロ之を[神]殿に入れたりと思ひしなり。
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 是に於て市中挙りて立騒ぎ、人民馳集りてパウロを捕へ、[神]殿の外に引出ししが、門は直に鎖されたり。
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 然て人々パウロを殺さんと謀りければ、軍隊の千夫長の許に、エルザレム全く亂れたりとの報告あり、
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 千夫長直に、兵卒及び百夫長らを率ゐて人民の所に馳來りしかば、人々千夫長と兵卒とを見て、パウロを打つ事を罷めたり。
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 千夫長近づきて之を捕へ、命じて二の鎖にて繋がせ、是は誰なるぞ、何を為ししぞ、と尋ぬるに、
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 群衆の中より口々に彼是と叫び、騒がしさに事實を確むる事能はざれば、命じてパウロを兵営の内に牽入れしめしが、
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 階段に至り、パウロ人民の[押合ふ]勢の為、兵卒に舁上げらるるに及べり、
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 其は彼を殺せと叫びつつ、人民夥しく後を慕へばなり。
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 パウロ牽かれて兵営に入らんとする時、千夫長に向ひ、我汝に語りて可きか、と云ひしかば彼云ひけるは、汝ギリシア語を知れりや、
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto you? Who said, Can you speak Greek?
38 過日騒動を起して四千人の刺客を野に引出ししエジプト人は汝に非ずや、と。
Are not you that Egyptian, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 パウロ之に謂ひけるは、我實はシリシア[州]のタルソ生れなるユデア人にして、隠れなき町の公民なり、乞ふ人民に言ふ事を許せ、と。
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I plead to you, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 彼許ししかば、パウロ階段に立ちて人民に手眞似したるに、皆沈黙したりければ、ヘブレオ語にて語りけるは。
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
