Acts 1
1 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
第一款 キリスト傳と聖會史との間の事柄 テオフィロよ、我前に第一の書を作りて、総てイエズスの初より行ひ且教へ給ひしことを述べ、
2 until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
其選み給ひし使徒等に聖霊に由りて命じ置き、然て天に上げられ給ひし日までに及びたりしが、
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, in many certain proofs, being seen by them through forty days, and speaking the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
イエズス御受難の後、多くの徴を以て、彼等に己の活きたる事を證明し、四十日の間彼等に現れ、神の國に関して談り給へり。
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “Which you heard from Me;
第一 キリストの御昇天 又共に食しつつ彼等に、エルザレムを離れずして父の約束を待つべしと命じ、然て曰ひけるは、「汝等我口づから其約束を聞けり、
5 because John, indeed, immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
蓋ヨハネは水にて洗したれども、汝等は日久しからずして聖霊にて洗せらるべきなり、と。
6 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning Him, saying, “Lord, do You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
然れば集りたる人々問ひて、主よ、イスラエルの國を回復し給ふは此頃なるか、と云ひければ、
7 And He said to them, “It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father appointed in His own authority;
イエズス曰ひけるは、父が其権能によりて定め給ひし時刻は、汝等の知るべきに非ず、
8 but you will receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit on you, and you will be witnesses for Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
但汝等に臨み給ふ聖霊の能力を受けて、汝等はエルザレム、ユデア全國、サマリア、地の極に至る迄も我が證人とならん、と。
9 And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;
斯く曰ひ終てて彼等の見る中に上げられ給ひしが、一叢の雲之を受けて見えざらしめたり。
10 and as they were looking steadfastly to the sky in His going on, then, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
彼等が猶天に昇往き給ふを眺め居たる程に、白衣の人二人忽ち彼等の傍に立ちて言ひけるは、
11 who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into Heaven, will so come in what manner you saw Him going on to Heaven.”
ガリレア人よ、何ぞ天を仰ぎつつ立てるや、汝等を離れて天に上げられ給ひし此イエズスは、汝等が其天に往き給ふを見たる如く、復斯の如くにして來り給ふべし、と。
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [that] called the Mount of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath’s journey;
第二 使徒等ユダの後任者を選む 然て使徒等、橄欖山と云へる山よりエルザレムに還りしが、此山はエルザレムに近く、安息日にも行かるべき道程なり。
13 and when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, of James;
然て入りてペトロとヨハネ、ヤコボとアンデレア、フィリッポとトマ、バルトロメオとマテオ、アルフェオの子ヤコボとゼロテなるシモンと、ヤコボの兄弟ユダとの宿れる高間に登りしが、
14 these were all continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
彼等皆婦人等及びイエズスの母マリア、及びイエズスの兄弟等と共に、心を同じうして耐忍びつつ祈祷に從事し居たり。
15 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said (also the multitude of the names at the same place was, as it were, one hundred and twenty),
其頃、共に集れる人約百廿名なりしが、ペトロ兄弟の中に立ちて云ひけるは、
16 “Men, brothers, it was necessary [for] this Writing to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,
兄弟の人々よ、イエズスを捕へし者等の案内者となりしユダに就きて、聖霊がダヴィドの口を以て預言し給ひたる聖書は、成就せざるべからず。
17 because he was numbered among us, and received the share in this ministry.
彼は我等の員に入りて此聖役に與りたれども、
18 (This one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst apart in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
不義の價を以て畑を求め、（吊されて）俯伏に倒れ、其身眞中より裂けて腸悉く迸り出でたり。
19 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that this place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
此事エルザレムの住民に知れ渡りて、此畑は彼等の方言にてハケルダマ、即ち血の畑と呼ばれたり。
20 For it has been written in [the] Scroll of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and let another take his oversight.
蓋詩の書に録して、「彼の檻は荒れて、之に住む人なかるべし」、又「他人其務を受くべし」、とあれば、
21 It is necessary, therefore, of the men who went with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
我等と共に集れる此人々の中より、総て主イエズス、キリストが我等の中に出入し給ひし間、
22 beginning from the immersion of John, to the day in which He was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of His resurrection.”
即ちヨハネの洗禮より始め、我等を離れて上げられ給ひし日に至るまで、一所に在りし者の一人、我等と共に其復活の證人とならざるべからず、と。
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
是に於て彼等、バルサバと呼ばれ、義人と綽名されたるヨゼフと、マチアとの二人を挙げ、
24 and having prayed, they said, “You, LORD, who are knowing the heart of all, show which one You chose of these two,
祈りて云ひけるは、総ての人の心を知り給へる主よ、ユダの己が處に往かんとて退きし此務と使徒職とを引受くべく、
25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;
此二人の何れを選み給へるかを知らしめ給へ、と。
26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
斯て彼等に鬮を與へしに、鬮はマチアに當りしかば、彼十一人の使徒に加へられたり。
