使徒の働き 27
1 第九項 パウロロマへ出立して難船に遇ふ 斯てパウロイタリアへ航海し、且他の囚人等と共に、オグスト隊のユリオと云へる百夫長に付さるべしと決せられしかば、
And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
2 我等は[小]アジアの處々に廻航すべきアドラミットの船に乗りて出帆せしが、テサロニケのマケドニア人アリスタルコも、亦我等と共に在りき。
And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 翌日シドンに至りしに[百夫長]ユリオは懇切にパウロを遇ひ、友人の家に至りて歓待を受くる事を許せり。
And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4 然て此處を出帆して、逆風の為にクプロ[島]の風下を通り、
And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 シリシアとパンフィリアとの灘を航して、リシア[州]のミラ[港]に至り、
And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
6 此處にてイタリアへ出帆するアレキサンドリアの船を見付けしかば、百夫長我等を之に乗替へさせたり。
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7 數日の間、船の進行遅く、辛うじてグニド[半島]の沖合に至りしも、尚逆風の為にサルモネ[岬]に近づき、クレタ[島]の風下を通りて、
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 漸く陸に沿ひて、タラサの町に程近き、良港と云へる處に至れり。
and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 時を経る事既に久しく、断食節も過ぎし頃とて、航海安全ならざれば、パウロ彼等を警戒して、
And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 云ひけるは、男子等よ、我は航海の漸く困難と成り、啻に積荷と船と耳ならず、我等の身にも損害多かるべきことを認む、と。
and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 然れど百夫長は、パウロの云ふ所よりも船長と船主とを信用し、
But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 此港は冬を過すに不便なればとて、多數の決議によりて此處を發し、成るべくクレタ[島]の一港にして、西南と北西との風下に向へるフェニスに至りて、冬を過ごさん事となれり。
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 折しも南風静に吹きければ、彼等は其目的に叶へりと思ひて碇を上げ、近くクレタ[島]に沿ひて航行しけるに、
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 幾程もなくユロアクィロと名くる大風吹荒みしかば、
But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15 船は吹流されて風上に進み得べくもあらず、風に任せて漂ひつつ、
and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
16 コウダと云へる[小]島の下に至り、辛うじて小艇を止むるを得たり。
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17 然て之を引上げしに船員は、シルト[湾]へ吹遣られん事を懼れて、備縄を以て船體を巻縛り、帆を下して其儘に流れけるに、
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18 烈しき風浪に漂はされて、翌日は積荷を擲ね、
And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
19 三日目には手づから船具をも投げたり。
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 斯て數日の間日も星も見えず、甚しき風浪に罹りて、我等の助かるべき見込は全く絶果てたり。
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21 人々飲食せざる事既に久しければ、パウロ彼等の中に立ちて云ひけるは、男子等よ、前に我が言ふ事を聴きて、クレタ[島]を出帆せざりしならば、斯る損害と危険とを免れたりしものを。
And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 然て我、今は安心せん事を汝等に勧む、其は汝等の中一人も生命を失はずして、船のみ棄るべければなり。
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23 蓋我が属する所、事へ奉る所の神の使、昨夜我傍に立ちて、
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 云ひけるは、パウロよ恐るること勿れ、汝はセザルの前に出廷せざるべからず、且神は汝と同船せるものを悉く汝に賜ひたるなり、と。
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25 然れば男子等、心を安んぜよ、其は我に謂はれし如く、然あるべし、と神に由りて信ずればなり。
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26 我等は必ず或島に至るべし、と。
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 斯て第十四夜に至りて、我等アドリア海を航しつつありしに、夜半頃に水夫等何處やらん土地の見ゆる様に覚えしかば、
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:
28 測鉛を投じたるに、廿尋なる事を認め、少しく進みて十五尋なる事を認めたり。
and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 瀬に觸らん事の恐しければ、艫よりの碇を下して夜の明くるを待ちたりしが、
And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30 水夫は船より迯れま欲しさに、船の舳より碇を下さんとするを口實にて既に小艇を海に浮べたれば、
And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31 パウロ百夫長と兵卒等とに向ひ、此人々船に止らずば、汝等助る事能はじ、と云ひしに、
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 兵卒等小艇の縄を断切りて流るるに任せたり。
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 夜明けんとする時、パウロ一同に食せん事を勧めて云ひけるは、汝等何をも飲食せずして空腹に待てる事既に十四日なり、
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 故に我、汝等の健康の為に食せん事を勧む、蓋汝等の一人の髪毛一筋だに失せざるべし、と。
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35 斯く言終りて麪を取り、一同の前にて神に感謝し、擘きて食し始めしかば、
And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.
36 皆一層心落付きて、人々も食事したり。
Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37 我等船に居る者総て二百七十六人なりしが、
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 人々飽足りて後、麦を海に擲ねて船を軽くせり。
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 夜明けて後、其土地をば見知らねども、或砂浜の入江を見付けて、叶ふべくは其處に船を寄せんと思ひ、
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40 縄を切りて碇を海に棄て、舵綱をも弛めて舳の帆を揚げ、風に順ひつつ陸を指して進みけるが、
And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 兩方海に挟まりたる處に至りて船を乗上げ、舳は填りて動かざれど、艫は浪の力の為に外れ居たりき。
But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].
42 此時兵卒等、囚徒の泳ぎて逃げん事を虞れて、之を殺さんと志したれど、
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
43 百夫長パウロを救はんと欲して之を禁じ、命じて、泳ぎ得る人々をして先跳入りて陸に迯れしめ、
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;
44 然て殘れる人々を或は板、或は船具に乗せたれば、皆恙なく上陸する事を得たり。
and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
