Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
テオピロよ、我さきに前の書をつくりて、凡そイエスの行ひはじめ教へはじめ給ひしより、
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
その選び給へる使徒たちに、聖 靈によりて命じたるのち、擧げられ給ひし日に至るまでの事を記せり。
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
イエスは苦難をうけしのち、多くの慥なる證をもて、己の活きたることを使徒たちに示し、四十 日の間、しばしば彼らに現れて、神の國のことを語り、
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
また彼 等とともに集りゐて命じたまふ『エルサレムを離れずして、我より聞きし父の約束を待て。
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
ヨハネは水にてバプテスマを施ししが、汝らは日ならずして聖 靈にてバプテスマを施されん』
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
弟子たち集れるとき問ひて言ふ『主よ、イスラエルの國を囘復し給ふは此の時なるか』
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
イエス言ひたまふ『時また期は父おのれの權威のうちに置き給へば、汝らの知るべきにあらず。
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
然れど聖 靈なんぢらの上に臨むとき、汝ら能力をうけん、而してエルサレム、ユダヤ全國、サマリヤ、及び地の極にまで我が證人とならん』
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
此 等のことを言ひ終りて、彼らの見るがうちに擧げられ給ふ。雲これを受けて見えざらしめたり。
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
その昇りゆき給ふとき、彼ら天に目を注ぎゐたりしに、視よ、白き衣を著たる二人の人かたはらに立ちて言ふ、
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
『ガリラヤの人々よ、何ゆゑ天を仰ぎて立つか、汝らを離れて天に擧げられ給ひし此のイエスは、汝らが天に昇りゆくを見たるその如く復きたり給はん』
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
ここに彼 等オリブといふ山よりエルサレムに歸る。この山はエルサレムに近く、安息 日の道程なり。
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
既に入りてその留りをる高樓に登る。ペテロ、ヨハネ、ヤコブ及びアンデレ、ピリポ及びトマス、バルトロマイ及びマタイ、アルパヨの子ヤコブ、熱心 黨のシモン及びヤコブの子ユダなり。
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
この人々はみな女たち及びイエスの母マリヤ、イエスの兄弟たちと共に、心を一つにして只管いのりを務めゐたり。
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
その頃ペテロ、百二十 名ばかり共に集りて群をなせる兄弟たちの中に立ちて言ふ、
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
『兄弟たちよ、イエスを捕ふる者どもの手引となりしユダにつきて、聖 靈ダビデの口によりて預じめ言ひ給ひし聖書は、かならず成就せざるを得ざりしなり。
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
彼は我らの中に數へられ、此の務に與りたればなり。
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
（この人は、かの不義の價をもて地所を得、また俯伏に墜ちて直中より裂けて臓腑みな流れ出でたり。
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
この事エルサレムに住む凡ての人に知られて、その地所は國語にてアケルダマと稱へらる、血の地所との義なり）
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
それは詩 篇に録して「彼の住處は荒れ果てよ、人その中に住はざれ」と云ひ、又「その職はほかの人に得させよ」と云ひたり。
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
然れば主イエス我等のうちに往來し給ひし間、
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
即ちヨハネのバプテスマより始り、我らを離れて擧げられ給ひし日に至るまで、常に我らと偕に在りし此の人々のうち一人、われらと共に主の復活の證人となるべきなり』
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
ここにバルサバと稱へられ、またの名をユストと呼ばるるヨセフ及びマツテヤの二人をあげ、
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
祈りて言ふ『凡ての人の心を知りたまふ主よ、ユダ己が所に往かんとて此の務と使徒の職とより墮ちたれば、その後を繼がするに、此の二人のうち孰を選び給ふか示したまへ』
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
祈りて言ふ『凡ての人の心を知りたまふ主よ、ユダ己が所に往かんとて此の務と使徒の職とより墮ちたれば、その後を繼がするに、此の二人のうち孰を選び給ふか示したまへ』
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
かくて鬮せしに、鬮はマツテヤに當りたれば、彼は十 一の使徒に加へられたり。
