Acts 12
1 And in the same tyme Eroude the king sente power, to turmente sum men of the chirche.
その頃ヘロデ王、教會のうちの或 人どもを苦しめんとて手を下し、
2 And he slowe bi swerd James, the brothir of Joon.
劍をもてヨハネの兄弟ヤコブを殺せり。
3 And he siy that it pleside to Jewis, and keste to take also Petre; and the daies of therf looues weren.
この事ユダヤ人の心に適ひたるを見て、またペテロをも捕ふ、頃は除酵祭の時なりき。
4 And whanne he hadde cauyte Petre, he sente hym in to prisoun; and bitook to foure quaternyouns of knyytis, to kepe hym, and wolde aftir pask bringe hym forth to the puple.
すでに執りて獄に入れ、過越の後に民のまへに曳き出さんとの心構にて、四人 一組なる四組の兵卒に付して之を守らせたり。
5 And Petre was kept in prisoun; but preier was maad of the chirche with out ceessing to God for hym.
かくてペテロは獄のなかに因はれ、教會は熱心に彼のために神に祈をなせり。
6 But whanne Eroude schulde bringe hym forth, in that nyyt Petre was slepinge bitwixe twei knyytis, and was boundun with twei cheynes; and the keperis bifor the dore kepten the prisoun.
ヘロデこれを曳き出さんとする其の前の夜、ペテロは二つの鏈にて繋がれ、二人の兵卒のあひだに睡り、番兵らは門口にゐて獄を守りたるに、
7 And lo! an aungel of the Lord stoode nyy, and liyt schoon in the prisoun hous. And whanne he hadde smyte the side of Petre, he reiside hym, and seide, Rise thou swiftli. And anoon the cheynes felden doun fro hise hoondis.
視よ、主の使ペテロの傍らに立ちて、光明 室内にかがやく。御使かれの脇をたたき、覺していふ『疾く起きよ』かくて鏈その手より落ちたり。
8 And the aungel seide to hym, Girde thee, and do on thin hoosis. And he dide so. And he seide to hym, Do aboute thee thi clothis, and sue me.
御使いふ『帶をしめ、鞋をはけ』彼その如く爲たれば、又いふ『上衣をまとひて我に從へ』
9 And he yede out, and suede hym; and he wiste not that it was soth, that was don bi the aungel; for he gesside hym silf to haue sey a visioun.
ペテロ出でて隨ひしが、御使のする事の眞なるを知らず、幻影を見るならんと思ふ。
10 And thei passiden the first and the secounde warde, and camen to the iren yate that ledith to the citee, which anoon was opened to hem. And thei yeden out, and camen in to o street, and anoon the aungel passide awei fro hym.
かくて第一・第二の警固を過ぎて町に入るところの鐵の門に到れば、門おのづから彼 等のために開け、相 共にいでて一つの街を過ぎしとき、直ちに御使はなれたり。
11 And Petre turnede ayen to hym silf, and seide, Now Y woot verili, that the Lord sente his aungel, `and delyueride me fro the hoond of Eroude, and fro al the abiding of the puple of Jewis.
ペテロ我に反りて言ふ『われ今まことに知る、主その使を遣して、ヘロデの手およびユダヤの民の凡て思ひ設けし事より、我を救ひ出し給ひしを』
12 And he bihelde, and cam to the hous of Marie, modir of Joon, that is named Marcus, where many weren gaderid togidre, and preiynge.
斯く悟りてマルコと稱ふるヨハネの母マリヤの家に往きしが、其處には數多のもの集りて祈りゐたり。
13 And whanne he knockid at the dore of the yate, a damysel, Rode bi name, cam forth to se.
ペテロ門の戸を叩きたれば、ロダといふ婢女ききに出できたり、
14 And whanne sche knewe the vois of Petre, for ioye sche openyde not the yate, but ran in, and telde, that Petre stood at the yate.
ペテロの聲なるを知りて、勸喜のあまりに門を開けずして走り入り、ペテロの門の前に立てることを告げたれば、
15 And thei seiden `to hir, Thou maddist. But sche affermyde, that it was so. And thei seiden, It is his aungel.
彼ら『なんぢは氣 狂へり』と言ふ。然れどロダは夫なりと言張る。かれら言ふ『それはペテロの御使ならん』
16 But Petre abood stille, and knockide. And whanne thei hadden opened the dore, thei sayen hym, and wondriden.
然るにペテロなほ叩きて止まざれば、かれら門をひらき之を見て驚けり。
17 And he bekenyde to hem with his hoond to be stille, and telde hou the Lord hadde led hym out of the prisoun. And he seide, Telle ye to James and to the britheren these thingis. And he yede out, and wente in to an othere place.
かれ手を搖かして人々を鎭め、主の己を獄より導きいだし給ひしことを具に語り『これをヤコブと兄弟たちとに告げよ』と言ひて他の處に出で往けり。
18 And whanne the dai was come, ther was not lytil troubling among the knyytis, what was don of Petre.
夜明になりて、ペテロは如何にせしとて兵卒の中の騷 一方ならず。
19 And whanne Eroude hadde souyt hym, and foonde not, aftir that he hadde made enqueryng of the keperis, he comaundide hem to be brouyt to hym. And he cam doun fro Judee in to Cesarie, and dwellide there.
ヘロデ之を索むれど見出さず、遂に守卒を訊して死罪を命じ、而してユダヤよりカイザリヤに下りて留れり。
20 And he was wroth to men of Tyre and of Sidon. And thei of oon acord camen to hym, whanne thei hadden counseilid with Bastus, that was the kingis chaumbirleyn, thei axiden pees, for as myche that her cuntrees weren vitailid of hym.
偖ヘロデ、ツロとシドンとの人々を甚く怒りたれば、其の民ども心を一つにして彼の許にいたり、王の内侍の臣ブラストに取 入りて和諧を求む。かれらの地方は王の國より食品を得るに因りてなり。
21 And in a dai that was ordeyned, Eroude was clothid with kyngis clothing, and sat for domesman, and spak to hem.
ヘロデ定めたる日に及びて王の服を著け高座に坐して言を宣べたれば、
22 And the puple criede, The voicis of God, and not of man.
集民よばはりて『これ神の聲なり、人の聲にあらず』と言ふ。
23 And anoon an aungel of the Lord smoot hym, for he hadde not youun onour to God; and he was wastid of wormes, and diede.
ヘロデ神に榮光を歸せぬに因りて、主の使たちどころに彼を撃ちたれば、蟲に噛まれて息 絶えたり。
24 And the word of the Lord waxide, and was multiplied.
かくて主の御言いよいよ増々ひろまる。
25 And Barnabas and Saul turneden ayen fro Jerusalem, whanne the mynystrie was fillid, and token Joon, that was named Marcus.
バルナバ、サウロはその職務を果し、マルコと稱ふるヨハネを伴ひてエルサレムより歸れり。
