Acts 10
1 Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band,
第二 百夫長コルネリオの改宗 カイザリアにコルネリオと呼ばるる人あり、イタリア隊と稱する軍隊の百夫長にして、
2 A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually.
信心深く、家族一同と共に神を畏敬し、人民に多くの施與を行ひ、常に神に祈りつつありしが、
3 He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius.
一日午後三時頃、幻影の中に、神の使己が許に來りて、コルネリオよ、と呼べるを明かに見しかば、
4 But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God.
目を之に注ぎ恐入りて、主よ、是は何事ぞや、と云ひしに天使答へけるは、汝の祈祷と施與とは、記念として神の御前に上れり、
5 Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
今人をヨッペに遣はして、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンと云ふ人を招け、
6 Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.
海岸に住めるシモンと云へる革工の家に宿れるなり、彼汝に其為すべき事を云はん、と。
7 And when the Angel which spake vnto Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his seruants, and a souldier that feared God, one of them that waited on him,
己に語れる天使の去りて後、コルネリオは己が二人の僕と部下の信心深き一人の兵卒とを呼び、
8 And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa.
悉く事情を語りてヨッペに遣はせり。
9 On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre.
翌日彼等尚途中に在りけるが、町に近づける時、晝の十二時頃ペトロ祈らんとて平屋根に上れり。
10 Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance.
然るに飢ゑて物欲しかりければ、人の支度するうち、氣を奪はるる如くになり、
11 And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth.
天開けて大いなる布の如き器降り、四隅を吊されて、天より地に下さるるを見たり。
12 Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
其中には地上の有ゆる四足のもの、匍ふもの、及び空の鳥あり。
13 And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate.
又聲ありて、ペトロ起きよ、屠りて食せよ、と云ひしかば、
14 But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane.
ペトロ、主よ、然らじ、我曾て穢れたるもの或は潔からぬものを食せしこと無し、と云ひけるに、
15 And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
又再び聲ありて、神の潔め給ひしものを、汝潔からずと云ふこと勿れ、と云へり。
16 This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen.
斯の如き事三度にして、器物は忽ち天に取上げられたり。
17 Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate,
ペトロ心の中に、其見し幻影を如何なる意ぞと當惑せる折しも、コルネリオより遣はされたる人々、シモンの家を尋ねて門前に立止り、
18 And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
音づれて、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンは此處に宿れりや、と問ひ居たり。
19 And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee.
ペトロは幻影に就きて打案じ居けるを、聖霊之に曰はく、看よ、三人の男汝を尋ぬ、
20 Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them.
起ちて下り、躊躇する事なく彼等と共に往け、彼等は我が遣はしたる者なれば、と。
21 Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
ペトロ人々の處に下りて云ひけるは、看よ汝等の尋ぬるは我なり、如何なる故ありて來れるぞ、と。
22 And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes.
彼等云ひけるは、百夫長コルネリオは、神を畏敬してユデア人一般に好評ある義人なるが、聖なる天使より、汝を其家に招きて汝の言を聴けとの告を受けたり、と。
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him.
是に於てペトロ、彼等を請じて宿らしめ、翌日諸共に出立しけるが、ヨッペより數人の兄弟之に伴へり。
24 And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends.
次日カイザリアに入りしに、コルネリオは既に親族及び親しき朋友を呼集めて、彼等を待受けたり。
25 And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him.
ペトロの入來るや、コルネリオ出迎へて其足下に伏し禮拝せしかば、
26 But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man.
ペトロ之を起して云ひけるは、立て、我も人なり、と。
27 And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together.
斯て相語りつつ内に入り、多くの人の集れるを見て、
28 And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane.
此人々に謂ひけるは、ユデア人にして異邦人に連り或は近づく事の掟に適はざるは、汝等の知る所なり。然れど何人をも、穢れたるもの潔からぬものと言ふべからざる事を、神我に示し給へり。
29 Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?
故に我招かれて躊躇する事なく來りしが、汝等に問はん、我を招きし所以は何ぞ、と。
30 Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
コルネリオ云ひけるは、四日以前の午後三時、我家に在りて祈れるに、折しも輝ける衣服を着けたる一人の男子、我前に立ちて云ひけるは、
31 And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
コルネリオよ、汝の祈りは聴容れられ、汝の施與は神の御前に記念せられたり。
32 Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee.
故に人をヨッペに遣はし、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンを迎えよ、彼は海岸なる革工シモンの家に宿れり、と。
33 Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God.
是に由りて直に人を汝に遣はししが、宜くこそ來たまひつれ。然れば今我等皆神の御前に在りて、主より汝に命ぜられたる事を悉く承らんとす、と。
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons.
其時ペトロ口を開きて云ひけるは、神は偏り給はず、
35 But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
何れの國民にもあれ、之を畏敬して義を行ふ人は御意に適へる事、我眞に之を認む。
36 Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all:
神は御言をイスラエルの子等に送り、イエズス、キリストを以て平安を告げ給ひしが、之ぞ萬民の主に在すなる。
37 Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached.
汝等ユデア一般に成りし事を知れるならん、是即ちヨハネの宣傳へし洗禮の後、ガリレアより始りし事にして、
38 To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
神はナザレトより出でたるイエズスに、聖霊と能力とを以て注油し給ひしなり。彼は慈善を行ひ、且凡て惡魔に壓へられたる人を醫しつつ世を過し給へり、是神彼と共に在したればなり。
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree.
我等は、其ユデア人の地及びエルザレムに於て為し給し一切の事の證人なるがユデア人は之を木に磔けて殺したれども、
40 Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly:
神は三日目に之を復活せしめ且現れしめ給へり。
41 Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead.
但其は人民一般にはあらで、神より預定せられし證人、即ち死者の中より復活し給ひたる後、彼と共に飲食したる我等に現れしめ給ひしなり。
42 And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead.
且我が神より立てられて、生者と死者との審判者たる事を人民に教へ且證明すべしと、イエズス自ら我等に命じ給ひしなり。
43 To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
総て之を信ずる人の、其御名によりて罪の赦を受くる事は、預言者の皆證明したる所なり、と。
44 While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word.
ペトロ尚是等の言を語りつつあるに、聖霊言を聴ける人々一同の上に降り給ひ、
45 So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
ペトロに伴ひ來れる割禮ある信徒は、聖霊の恩寵が異邦人にも注がれたるに惘果てたり。
46 For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
其は彼等の異なる語を語りて神を崇め奉るを聞けばなり。
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we?
是に於てペトロ答へけるは、此人々は既に我等の如く聖霊を蒙りたれば、誰か水を禁じて其洗せらるるを拒み得んや、と。
48 So he commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tary certaine dayes.
斯て彼等がイエズス、キリストの御名によりて洗せられん事を命ぜしかば、彼等はペトロが數日此家に留らん事を請へり。
