Acts 15
1 Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
第二項 エルザレムの教議會 斯て或人々、ユデアより下りて兄弟等に向ひ、汝等モイゼの慣例に從ひて割禮を受くるに非ずば救霊を得ず、と教へければ、
2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
パウロとバルナバと、彼等に對して一方ならぬ諍論を為ししが、信徒はパウロ、バルナバ、及び反對側の數人をエルザレムに上せ、此問題に就き使徒等及び長老等に伺はん事に定めたり。
3 Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
然れば彼等教會に見送られて、フェニケア及びサマリアを経、異邦人感化の事情を具に語りて、兄弟一同に大いなる喜を起させたり。
4 And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
一行エルザレムに至りて、教會と使徒等と長老等とに迎へられ、神の己等と共に為し給ひし事の次第を告げしが、
5 But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
ファリザイ派の中なる數人の信者起ちて、異邦人は割禮を受けざるべからず、又命じてモイゼの律法を守らしむべし、と云ひければ、
6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
使徒等及び長老等、此事を調べんとて集れり。
7 And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
激しき諍論の後、ペトロ立ちて彼等に謂ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、久しき以前に、神我等の中より選みて、我口を以て異邦人に福音の言を聞かせ、之を信ぜしめ給ひし事は、汝等の知る所なり。
8 And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
且人の心を知り給ふ神は、汝等に賜ひし如く、彼等にも聖霊を賜ひて證明し給ひ、
9 And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
信仰によりて彼等の心を潔め、我等と彼等とを聊も隔て給ひしことなし。
10 Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
然るを何為れぞ、汝等神を試みて、我等の先祖も我等も負ふ能はざりし軛を、今弟子等の頚に負はせんとはする。
11 But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
我等の救はるるは主イエズス、キリストの恩寵によれりとは、我等の信ずる所にして、彼等も亦然るなり、と。
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
會衆皆沈黙して、パウロとバルナバとが、異邦人の中に己等を以て神の行ひ給ひし凡ての徴と奇蹟とを語るを聴きたりしが、
13 And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
彼等が沈黙を保ちたる後、ヤコボ答へて云ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、我に聞け、
14 Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
シモン既に神始めて異邦人を顧み、其中より己が名を尊ぶ民を取り給ひし次第を述べしが、
15 And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
預言者等の言之に合へり、録して、
16 After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
「此後我返りて、倒れたるダヴィドの幕屋を再興し、其崩れたる所を繕ひ、且之を建てん、
17 That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
是は他の人々及び、為に我名を呼ばれたる萬國の異邦人が主を求め得ん為なり、之を為し給ふ所の主之を曰ふ」、とあるが如し。
主は世の始めより己が業を知り給ふ、 (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
之によりて我思ふに、異邦人より神に歸依する人々を煩はすべからず、
20 But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
唯書を贈りて、偶像に捧げられし物と、私通と、絞殺されし獣の肉と血とを戒むべし、
21 For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
蓋モイゼの書は、安息日毎に會堂に於て読まれ、之を述ぶる人昔より何れの市町にも在ればなり、と。
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
是に於て使徒等、長老等、及び教會一同に、其中より人を選みて、パウロ、バルナバと共にアンチオキアに遣はすを可しとせり、其人々はバルサバとも呼ばるるユダ、及びシラにして、兄弟中の重立ちたる者なりき。
23 And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
彼等の手に托せられし書翰の文に曰く、「使徒等及び兄弟たる長老等、アンチオキアとシリアとシリシアとに在る異邦人たりし兄弟等に挨拶す。
24 Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
我等の聞く所に據れば、或人々、我等が命じたる事もなきに、我等の中より出行きて汝等の魂を覆し、言を以て汝等を擾したる由なれば、
25 It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
我等一致して人を選み、
26 Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
我主イエズス、キリストの御名の為に生命を惜まざりし人、我等が至愛なるバルナバ及びパウロと共に、汝等に遣はさん事を宜しとせり。
27 We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
然ればユダとシラとを遣はしたるが、彼等口づから是等の事を汝等に告げん。
28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
蓋聖霊と我等とは、左の必要なる事の外、汝等に何等の荷をも負はしめざるを宜しとせり。
29 That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
即ち汝等が偶像に捧げられし物と、血と絞殺されしものと、私通とを絶つべき事是なり。是等の事を慎まば、其にて宜しかるべし、汝等健康なれ、」と。
30 Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
然て彼等暇乞してアンチオキアに下り、信徒を集めて書翰を渡ししが、
31 And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
人々之を読みて、慰を得て喜べり。
32 And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
ユダとシラとは其身も預言者なれば、多くの談話を以て兄弟を勧め且堅めたりしが、
33 And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
暫く此處に留りて後、己を遣はしし者の許に歸らんとて、兄弟等に無事を祝されて暇を乞ひ得たり。
34 Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
然れどシラは此處に留るを宜しとせしかば、ユダ一人エルザレムに歸り、
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
パウロとバルナバとはアンチオキアに留り、他の數人と共に主の御言を教へ、福音を宣べつつありき。
36 But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
第三項 聖パウロ第二回の傳道旅行 然て數日の後、パウロはバルナバに向ひ、将我等後戻して、曩に主の御言を宣傳へし凡ての市町を巡廻し、其安否を問はん、と云ひしが、
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
バルナバはマルコとも呼ばるるヨハネを携へんと思へるに、
38 But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
パウロは、彼は曾てパンフィリアにて己等を離れ、共に働かざりし者なれば、之を承容るべからず、と考へ居たりしかば、
39 Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
遂に衝突して相別るるに至れり。さればバルナバはマルコを携へてクプロ[島]へ出帆せしが、
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
パウロはシラを選みて、兄弟等より神の恩寵に委ねられて出立し、
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
シリアとシリシアとを巡りて諸教會を固め、使徒等及び長老等の規定を守るべき事を教へ居たり。
