Acts 21
1 And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
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、
2 And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.
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、
3 And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
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。
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
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。
5 And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.
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、
6 And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.
互に別を告げて、我等は船に乗り彼等は家に歸れり。
7 But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
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、
8 And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
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、
9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.
是に童貞なる四人の女ありて、皆預言しつつありき。
10 And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
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、
11 Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
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。
12 Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.
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、
13 Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
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。
14 And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
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。
15 And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.
數日の後、我等は旅支度してエルザレムに上る時、
16 And there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
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。
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
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。
18 And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.
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、
19 Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
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、
20 But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.
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、
21 Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
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。
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
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。
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.
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、
24 Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.
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、
25 But as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.
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。
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.
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。
27 But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:
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、
28 Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.
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。
29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
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。
30 And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
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。
31 And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.
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、
32 Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.
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。
33 Then the tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
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、
34 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.
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、
35 And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
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、
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him.
其は彼を殺せと叫びつつ、人民夥しく後を慕へばなり。
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?
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、
38 Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?
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。
39 But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
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。
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
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。
