使徒の働き 28
1 第十項 パウロマルタに漂流しロマに至る 我等既に迯れて後、此島のマルタと呼ばるることを知りしが、夷等一方ならぬ親切を示し、
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 雨降りて寒ければとて、火を焚きて我等一同を保養せしめたり。
And the natives people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 パウロ若干の柴を集めて火に加べしに、火熱の為に蝮出でて其手に噬付きしかば、
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 夷等虫のパウロの手に噬付けるを見て、此人定めて殺人者なるべし、海よりは迯れたるも、天之に活くる事を許さず、と語合ひけるに、
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to live.
5 パウロ虫を火の中に振落して、聊も害を受けざりき。
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 人々は、彼必ず脹出して忽ちに倒死するならんと思へるに、待つ事久しくして聊も害の及ばざるを見るや、翻りて、是神なりと謂ひ居たり。
Nevertheless they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 然て此處にプブリオと呼ばるる島司の所有地ありしが、彼我等を接待して、三日の間懇切に饗應せり。
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 然るにプブリオの父、熱病と赤痢とを患ひて臥し居ければ、パウロ其許に至り、祈り且按手して之を醫したり。
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a dysentery: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 斯りし程に島に於て病める人々悉く來りて醫されつつありしが、
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 又大いに我等を尊びて、船に乗るに臨み、必要なる品々を我等に贈れり。
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 三月の後我等は、此島に冬籠したりし、ジョストリの印あるアレキサンドリアの船にて出帆し、
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 シラクサに至りて滞留する事三日、
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 此處より岸に沿ひてレジオに至りしに、一日を経て南風吹きしかば、二日目にプテリオに至り、
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 此處にて兄弟等に出會ひ、願によりて彼等の中に留る事七日にして、遂にロマに至れり。
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 ロマの兄弟等之を聞きて、アッピイフォロム及び三宿と云へる處まで我等を出迎へしが、パウロ彼等を見て神に感謝し、且力を得たり。
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 斯て我等ロマに至りしに、[百夫長囚徒を近衛隊長に付したれど、]パウロは己が宿に一人の守衛兵と共に留る事を許されたり。
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
17 三日の後パウロユデア人の重立ちたる者を呼集めしが、彼等來りしかば、パウロ之に謂ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、我曾て我國民又は先祖の慣習に反する事を為さざりしを、エルザレムより、囚人としてロマ人の手に付されしが、
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 彼等訊問の上、死罪に當る事なきにより、我を免さんとしたりしに、
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 ユデア人の之を拒みたる為に、我已むを得ずしてセザルに上告せり。然れども我國民に就きて訴ふる所あるに非ざれば、
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 我は汝等に遇ひて語らん事を請へり、蓋イスラエルの希望の為にこそ、我は此鎖に縛られたるなれ、と。
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21 彼等パウロに謂ひけるは、我等は汝に就きてユデアより書簡を受けたるにも非ず、又兄弟の中に來りて汝が惡しき事を吹聴し、或は語りたる者あるに非ず、
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brethren that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
22 然れど、希はくは汝の思へる所を聞かん、其は此宗派が到る處に於て逆らはるる事を知ればなり、と。
But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 斯て彼等日を期して、パウロの宿に群がり來りしかば、彼朝より晩に至るまで説教して、神の國を證明し、又モイゼの律法及び預言者の書に基きて、イエズスの事を勧め居たりき。
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 斯て謂はるる事を信ずる人もあり、信ぜざる人もありて、
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 相一致せずして退くに至りしかば、パウロ唯一言を述べけるは、眞なる哉聖霊が預言者イザヤを以て我等が先祖に語り給ひたる事、
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, (rhema) Well spoke the Holy Spirit (pneuma) by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 曰く「汝此民に至りて之を告げよ、汝等耳にて聞かんも悟らず、目にて見んも認めざるべし、
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing all of you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing all of you shall see, and not perceive:
27 蓋此民の心鈍くなり、耳を覆ひ目を閉ぢたり、是は目にて見、耳にて聞き、心にて悟り、而して立歸りて我に醫されん事を懼るればなり」と。
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 然れば汝等心得よ、神の此救は異邦人に遣られて、彼等は之を聴くべきなり、と。
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 パウロ斯く云ひしかば、ユデア人等退きて大いに相争へり。
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 パウロ其宿に留る事満二箇年なりしが、己が許に入來る人を悉く歓迎して、
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 憚らず妨げらるる事なく神の國の事を宣べ、主イエズス、キリストの事を教へ居たりき。
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
