Acts 28
1 And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.
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、
2 But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
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。
3 And Paul having gathered a [certain] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid [it] on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized his hand.
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、
4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, [though] saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.
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、
5 He however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm.
パウロ虫を火の中に振落して、聊も害を受けざりき。
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.
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。
7 Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave [us] hospitality three days in a very friendly way.
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。
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him.
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。
9 But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:
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、
10 who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
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。
11 And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.
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、
12 And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.
シラクサに至りて滞留する事三日、
13 Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli,
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、
14 where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.
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。
15 And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
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。
16 And when we came to Rome, [the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but] Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept him.
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。
17 And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, I having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
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、
18 who having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy of death in me.
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、
19 But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of.
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、
20 For this cause therefore I have called you to [me] to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.
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。
21 And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee.
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、
22 But we beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
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。
23 And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.
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。
24 And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved.
斯て謂はるる事を信ずる人もあり、信ぜざる人もありて、
25 And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers,
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、
26 saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.
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、
27 For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
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。
28 Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear [it].
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。
29 [And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
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。
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him,
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、
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
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。
