Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
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, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, 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 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 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;
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 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
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, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to 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 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 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.
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 thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of 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 while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
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 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 the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day'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 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.
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 all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and 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 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, )
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 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 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
彼は我等の員に入りて此聖役に與りたれども、
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.
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 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, 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 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.”
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 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and 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 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 proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, 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 they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
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 take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own 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 cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon 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。
