Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
五旬節の日となり、彼らみな一處に集ひ居りしに、
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
烈しき風の吹ききたるごとき響、にはかに天より起りて、その坐する所の家に滿ち、
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
また火の如きもの舌のやうに現れ、分れて各人の上にとどまる。
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
彼らみな聖 靈にて滿され、御靈の宣べしむるままに異邦の言にて語りはじむ。
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
時に敬虔なるユダヤ人ら、天下の國々より來りてエルサレムに住み居りしが、
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
この音おこりたれば群衆あつまり來り、おのおの己が國語にて使徒たちの語るを聞きて騷ぎ合ひ、
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
かつ驚き怪しみて言ふ『視よ、この語る者は皆ガリラヤ人ならずや、
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
如何にして我等おのおのの生れし國の言をきくか。
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
我等はパルテヤ人、メヂヤ人、エラム人、またメソポタミヤ、ユダヤ、カパドキヤ、ポント、アジヤ、
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
フルギヤ、パンフリヤ、エジプト、リビヤのクレネに近き地方などに住む者、ロマよりの旅人――ユダヤ人および改宗者――
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
クレテ人およびアラビヤ人なるに、我が國語にて彼らが神の大なる御業をかたるを聞かんとは』
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
みな驚き惑ひて互に言ふ『これ何事ぞ』
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
或 者どもは嘲りて言ふ『かれらは甘き葡萄酒にて滿されたり』
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
ここにペテロ十 一の使徒とともに立ち、聲を揚げ宣べて言ふ『ユダヤの人々および凡てエルサレムに住める者よ、汝 等わが言に耳を傾けて、この事を知れ。
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
今は朝の九時なれば、汝らの思ふごとく彼らは醉ひたるに非ず、
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
これは預言者ヨエルによりて言はれたる所なり。
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
「神いひ給はく、末の世に至りて、我が靈を凡ての人に注がん。汝らの子 女は預言し、汝らの若者は幻影を見、なんぢらの老人は夢を見るべし。
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
その世に至りて、わが僕・婢女にわが靈を注がん、彼らは預言すべし。
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
われ上は天に不思議を、下は地に徴をあらはさん、即ち血と火と煙の氣とあるべし。
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
主の大なる顯著しき日のきたる前に、日は闇に月は血に變らん。
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
すべて主の御名を呼び頼む者は救はれん」
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
イスラエルの人々よ、これらの言を聽け。ナザレのイエスは、汝らの知るごとく、神かれに由りて汝らの中に行ひ給ひし能力ある業と不思議と徴とをもて、汝らに證し給へる人なり。
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
この人は神の定め給ひし御旨と、預じめ知り給ふ所とによりて付されしが、汝ら不法の人の手をもて釘磔にして殺せり。
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
然れど神は死の苦難を解きて之を甦へらせ給へり。彼は死に繋がれをるべき者ならざりしなり。
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
ダビデ彼につきて言ふ「われ常に我が前に主を見たり、我が動かされぬ爲に我が右に在せばなり。
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
この故に我が心は樂しみ、我が舌は喜べり、かつ我が肉體もまた望の中に宿らん。
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
汝わが靈魂を黄泉に棄て置かず、汝の聖者の朽果つることを許し給はざればなり。 (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
汝は生命の道を我に示し給へり、御顏の前にて我に勸喜を滿し給はん」
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
兄弟たちよ、先祖ダビデに就きて、われ憚らず汝らに言ふを得べし、彼は死にて葬られ、その墓は今日に至るまで我らの中にあり。
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
即ち彼は預言者にして、己の身より出づる者をおのれの座位に坐せしむることを、誓をもて神の約し給ひしを知り、
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
先見して、キリストの復活に就きて語り、その黄泉に棄て置かれず、その肉體の朽果てぬことを言へるなり。 (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
神はこのイエスを甦へらせ給へり、我らは皆その證人なり。
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
イエスは神の右に擧げられ、約束の聖 靈を父より受けて、汝らの見 聞する此のものを注ぎ給ひしなり。
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
それダビデは天に昇りしことなし、然れど自ら言ふ「主わが主に言ひ給ふ、
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
我なんぢの敵を汝の足臺となすまでは、わが右に坐せよ」と。
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
然ればイスラエルの全家は確と知るべきなり。汝らが十字架に釘けし此のイエスを、神は立てて主となし、キリストとなし給へり』
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
人々これを聞きて心を刺され、ペテロと他の使徒たちとに言ふ『兄弟たちよ、我ら何をなすべきか』
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
ペテロ答ふ『なんぢら悔改めて、おのおの罪の赦を得んために、イエス・キリストの名によりてバプテスマを受けよ、然らば聖 靈の賜物を受けん。
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
この約束は汝らと汝らの子らと、凡ての遠き者すなはち主なる我らの神の召し給ふ者とに屬くなり』
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
この他なほ多くの言をもて證し、かつ勸めて『この曲れる代より救ひ出されよ』と言へり。
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
かくてペテロの言を聽納れし者はバプテスマを受く。この日、弟子に加はりたる者、おほよそ三 千 人なり。
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
彼らは使徒たちの教を受け、交際をなし、パンを擘き、祈祷をなすことを只管つとむ。
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
ここに人みな敬畏を生じ、多くの不思議と徴とは使徒たちに由りて行はれたり。
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
信じたる者はみな偕に居りて諸般の物を共にし、
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
資産と所有とを賣り、各人の用に從ひて分け與へ、
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
日々、心を一つにして弛みなく宮に居り、家にてパンをさき、勸喜と眞心とをもて食事をなし、
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
神を讃美して一般の民に悦ばる。かくて主は救はるる者を日々かれらの中に加へ給へり。
