Acts 13
1 Among the members of the church at Antioch there were several prophets and teachers – Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of ‘Black’, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.
アンテオケの教會にバルナバ、ニゲルと稱ふるシメオン、クレネ人ルキオ、國守ヘロデの乳 兄弟マナエン及びサウロなどいふ預言者と教師とあり。
2 While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.”
彼らが主に事へ斷食したるとき、聖 靈いひ給ふ『わが召して行はせんとする業の爲に、バルナバとサウロとを選び、別て』
3 Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
ここに彼ら斷食し、祈りて二人の上に手を按きて往かしむ。
4 Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.
この二人、聖 靈に遣されてセルキヤに下り、彼處より船にてクプロに渡り、
5 On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the message of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.
サラミスに著きてユダヤ人の諸 會堂にて神の言を宣傳へ、またヨハネを助人として伴ふ。
6 After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a prophet – a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.
徧くこの島を經 行きてパポスに到り、バルイエスといふユダヤ人にて僞 預言者たる魔術 者に遇ふ。
7 He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s message.
彼は地方 總督なる慧き人セルギオ・パウロと偕にありき。總督はバルナバとサウロとを招き神の言を聽かんとしたるに、
8 But Elymas, the astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the faith.
かの魔術 者エルマ（この名を釋けば魔術 者）二人に敵 對して總督を信仰の道より離れしめんとせり。
9 However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,
サウロ又の名はパウロ、聖 靈に滿され、彼に目を注めて言ふ、
10 “You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert the straight paths of the Lord? Listen!
『ああ有らゆる詭計と奸惡とにて滿ちたる者、惡魔の子、すべての義の敵よ、なんぢ主の直き道を曲げて止まぬか。
11 The hand of the Lord is on you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went feeling about for someone to guide him.
視よ、いま主の御手なんぢの上にあり、なんぢ盲目となりて暫く日を見ざるべし』かくて立刻に朦と闇とその目を掩ひたれば、探り囘りて導きくるる者を求む。
12 When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
ここに總督この有りし事を見て、主の教に驚きて信じたり。
13 After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
さてパウロ及び之に伴ふ人々、パポスより船出してパンフリヤのペルガに到り、ヨハネは離れてエルサレムに歸れり。
14 The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.
彼らはペルガより進み往きてピシデヤのアンテオケに到り、安息 日に會堂に入りて坐せり。
15 After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue leader sent them this message – “Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.”
律法および預言者の書の朗讀ありしのち、會堂 司たち人を彼らに遣し『兄弟たちよ、もし民に勸の言あらば言へ』と言はしめたれば、
16 So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: “People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.
パウロ起ちて手を搖かして言ふ、『イスラエルの人々および神を畏るる者よ、聽け。
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.
このイスラエルの民の神は、我らの先祖を選び、そのエジプトの地に寄寓せし時、わが民をおこし、強き御腕にて之を導きいだし、
18 For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;
おほよそ四十 年のあひだ、荒野にて彼らの所作を忍び、
19 then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –
カナンの地にて七つの民族をほろぼし、その地を彼らに嗣がしめて、
20 For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
凡そ四 百 五 十 年を經たり。此ののち預言者サムエルの時代まで審判 人を賜ひしを、
21 And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.
後に至りて彼ら王を求めたれば、神は之にキスの子サウロと云ふベニヤミンの族の人を四十 年のあひだ賜ひ、
22 After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him – ‘In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.’
之を退けて後、ダビデを擧げて王となし、且これを證して「我エッサイの子ダビデといふ我が心に適ふ者を見出せり、彼わが意をことごとく行はん」と宣給へり。
23 It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Savior – Jesus;
神は約束に隨ひて此の人の裔より、イスラエルの爲に救主イエスを興し給ひしが、
24 John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.
その來る前にヨハネ預じめイスラエルの凡ての民に悔改のバプテスマを宣傳へたり。
25 As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is “one coming” after me, whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.’
かくてヨハネ己が走るべき道程を終へんとする時「なんぢら我を誰と思ふか、我はかの人にあらず、視よ、我に後れて來る者あり、我はその鞋の紐を解くにも足らず」と云へり。
26 Brothers and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.
兄弟たち、アブラハムの血統の子ら及び汝 等のうち神を畏るる者よ、この救の言は我らに贈られたり。
27 The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognize Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
それエルサレムに住める者および其の司らは、彼をも安息 日ごとに讀むところの預言者たちの言をも知らず、彼を刑ひて預言を成就せしめたり。
28 They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
その死に當るべき故を得ざりしかど、ピラトに殺さんことを求め、
29 and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
彼につきて記されたる事をことごとく成しをへ、彼を木より下して墓に納めたり。
30 But God raised him from the dead;
されど神は彼を死人の中より甦へらせ給へり。
31 and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him to the people.
かくてイエスは己と偕にガリラヤよりエルサレムに上りし者に多くの日のあひだ現れ給へり。その人々は今、民の前にイエスの證人たるなり。
32 We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –
我らも先祖たちが與へられし約束につきて喜ばしき音信を汝らに告ぐ、
33 That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm – ‘You are my Son; this day I have become your Father.’
神はイエスを甦へらせて、その約束を我らの子孫に成就したまへり。即ち詩の第二 篇に「なんぢは我が子なり、われ今日なんぢを生めり」と録されたるが如し。
34 As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said – ‘I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;’
また朽腐に歸せざる状に彼を死人の中より甦へらせ給ひし事に就きては、斯く宣給へり。曰く「われダビデに約せし確き聖なる恩惠を汝らに與へん」
35 And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – ‘You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.’
そは他の篇に「なんぢは汝の聖者を朽腐に歸せざらしむべし」と云へり。
36 David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;
それダビデは、その代にて神の御旨を行ひ、終に眠りて先祖たちと共に置かれ、かつ朽腐に歸したり。
37 but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
然れど神の甦へらせ給ひし者は朽腐に歸せざりき。
38 I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
この故に兄弟たちよ、汝ら知れ。この人によりて罪の赦のなんぢらに傳へらるることを。
39 and that, in union with him, everyone who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.
汝らモーセの律法によりて義とせられ得ざりし凡ての事も、信ずる者は皆この人によりて義とせらるる事を。
40 Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –
然れば汝ら心せよ、恐らくは預言者たちの書に云ひたること來らん、
41 ‘Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I am doing a deed in your days – a deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe’.”
曰く「あなどる者よ、なんぢら視よ、おどろけ、亡びよ、われ汝らの日に一つの事を行はん。これを汝らに具に告ぐる者ありとも信ぜざる程の事なり」』
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
彼らが會堂を出づるとき、人々これらの言を次の安息 日にも語らんことを請ふ。
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely on the loving kindness of God.
集會の散ぜし後、ユダヤ人および敬虔なる改宗者おほくパウロとバルナバとに從ひ往きたれば、彼らに語りて神の恩惠に止らんことを勸めたり。
44 On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.
次の安息 日には、神の言を聽かんとて殆ど町 擧りて集りたり。
45 But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.
されどユダヤ人はその群衆を見て嫉に滿され、パウロの語ることに言ひ逆ひて罵れり。
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: “It was necessary that the message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the eternal life – we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)
パウロとバルナバとは臆せずして言ふ『神の言を先づ汝らに語るべかりしを、汝 等これを斥けて己を永遠の生命に相應しからぬ者と自ら定むるによりて、視よ、我ら轉じて異邦人に向はん。 (aiōnios g166)
47 For this is the Lord’s command to us – ‘I have destined you for a light to the Gentiles, a means of salvation to the ends of the earth’.”
それ主は斯く我らに命じ給へり。曰く「われ汝を立てて異邦人の光とせり。地の極にまで救とならしめん爲なり」』
48 On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s message; and all those who had been enrolled for eternal life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)
異邦人は之を聽きて喜び、主の言をあがめ、又とこしへの生命に定められたる者はみな信じ、 (aiōnios g166)
49 and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.
主の言この地に徧く弘りたり。
50 But the Jews incited the women of high social standing who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.
然るにユダヤ人ら、敬虔なる貴女たち及び町の重立ちたる人々を唆かして、パウロとバルナバとに迫害をくはへ、遂に彼らを其の境より逐ひ出せり。
51 They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
二人は彼らに對ひて足の塵をはらひ、イコニオムに往く。
52 and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
弟子たちは喜悦と聖 靈とにて滿され居たり。
