使徒の働き 10
1 ここにカイザリヤにコルネリオといふ人あり、イタリヤ隊と稱ふる軍隊の百卒長なるが、
But, a certain man in Caesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italian, —
2 敬虔にして全家族とともに神を畏れ、かつ民に多くの施濟をなし、常に神に祈れり。
Devout, and fearing God with all his house, doing many alms unto the people, and supplicating God continually,
3 或 日の午後 三時ごろ幻影のうちに神の使きたりて『コルネリオよ』と言ふを明かに見たれば、
Saw, in a vision, manifestly, as if about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God, coming in unto him, and saying unto him—Cornelius!
4 之に目をそそぎ怖れて言ふ『主よ、何事ぞ』御使いふ『なんぢの祈と施濟とは、神の前に上りて記念とせらる。
And he, looking steadfastly at him, and becoming full of fear, said—What is it, Lord? And he said unto him—Thy prayers and thine alms, have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 今ヨツパに人を遣してペテロと稱ふるシモンを招け、
Now, therefore, send men unto Joppa, and fetch one Simon who is surnamed Peter, —
6 彼は皮工シモンの家に宿る。その家は海邊にあり』
The same is a guest with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
7 斯く語れる御使の去りし後、コルネリオ己が僕 二人と從卒中の敬虔なる者 一人とを呼び、
And, when the messenger who had been speaking with him had departed, calling two of the domestics, and a devout soldier of them that constantly attended him,
8 凡ての事を告げてヨツパに遣せり。
And relating everything unto them, he sent them off unto Joppa.
9 明くる日かれらなほ途中にあり、既に町に近づかんとする頃ほひ、ペテロ祈らんとて屋の上に登る、時は晝の十二 時ごろなりき。
Now, on the morrow, as those men were journeying, and, unto the city, drawing near, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour;
10 飢ゑて物欲しくなり、人の食を調ふるほどに我を忘れし心地して、
But he became hungry, and wished to eat, —and, while they were making ready, there came upon him a trance;
11 天 開け、器のくだるを見る、大なる布のごとき物にして、四隅もて地に縋り下されたり。
And he beholdeth heaven opened, and, corning down, a kind of vessel, like a large linen cloth, by its four corners, being let down upon the earth,
12 その中には諸種の四 足のもの、地を匐ふもの、空の鳥あり。
In which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of earth and birds of heaven.
13 また聲ありて言ふ『ペテロ、立て、屠りて食せよ』
And there came a voice unto him—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.
14 ペテロ言ふ『主よ、可からじ、我いまだ潔からぬもの穢れたる物を食せし事なし』
But Peter said—By no means, Lord! because, at no time, have I eaten anything common or unclean.
15 聲 再びありて言ふ『神の潔め給ひし物を、なんぢ潔からずとすな』
And a voice [came] again, a second time, unto him—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.
16 かくの如きこと三度にして、器は直ちに天に上げられたり。
Now, this, took place thrice; and, straightway, was the vessel taken up into heaven.
17 ペテロその見し幻影の何の意なるか、心に惑ふほどに、視よ、コルネリオより遣されたる人、シモンの家を尋ねて門の前に立ち、
And, as within himself Peter was doubting what the vision which he had seen might mean, lo! the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 訪ひて、ペテロと稱ふるシモンの此處に宿るかを問ふ。
And, calling, enquired whether, Simon who was surnamed Peter, was there being entertained.
19 ペテロなほ幻影に就きて打案じゐたるに、御靈いひ給ふ『視よ、三人なんぢを尋ぬ。
And, as Peter was pondering over the vision, the Spirit said—Lo! two men, seeking thee.
20 起ちて下り疑はずして共に往け、彼らを遣したるは我なり』
But rise, go down, and be journeying with them, nothing, doubting; because, I, have sent them.
21 ペテロ下りて、かの人たちに言ふ『視よ、我は汝らの尋ぬる者なり、何の故ありて來るか』
And Peter, going down unto the men, said—Lo! I, am he whom ye are seeking: What is the cause, for which ye are come?
22 かれら言ふ『義人にして神を畏れ、ユダヤの國人の中に令聞ある百卒長コルネリオ、聖なる御使より、汝を家に招きて、その語ることを聽けとの告を受けたり』
And they said—Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well-attested by the whole nation of the Jews, hath been divinely instructed by a holy messenger to send for thee unto his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 ここにペテロ彼らを迎へ入れて宿らす。明くる日たちて彼らと共に出でゆきしが、ヨツパの兄弟も數人ともに往けり。
Inviting them in, therefore, he entertained them; but, on the morrow, he rose up and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren who were from Joppa went with him;
24 明くる日カイザリヤに入りし時、コルネリオは親族および親しき朋友を呼び集めて彼らを待ちゐたり。
And, on the morrow, he entered into Caesarea. And, Cornelius, was expecting them, having called together his kinsfolk and intimate friends.
25 ペテロ入り來れば、コルネリオ之を迎へ、その足下に伏して拜す。
And, when it came about that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and, falling at his feet, did homage.
26 ペテロ彼を起して言ふ『立て、我も人なり』
But, Peter, raised him up, saying—Arise! I also myself, am, a man.
27 かくて相 語りつつ内に入り、多くの人の集れるを見て、ペテロ之に言ふ、
And, conversing with him, he went in, and findeth many come together;
28 『なんぢらの知る如く、ユダヤ人たる者の外の國人と交りまた近づくことは、律法に適はぬ所なり、然れど神は、何 人をも穢れたるもの潔からぬ者と言ふまじきことを我に示したまへり。
And said unto the—Ye, well know, how unlawful it is, for, a Jew, to be joining himself or coming in unto one of another race. And yet, unto me, hath God pointed out that I should be calling no man, common or unclean.
29 この故に、われ招かるるや躊躇はずして來れり。然れば問ふ、汝らは何の故に我をまねきしか』
Wherefore, even without gainsaying, came I when sent for. I ask, therefore, for what reason ye sent for me.
30 コルネリオ言ふ『われ四日 前に我が家にて午後 三時の祈をなし、此の時刻に至りしに、視よ、輝く衣を著たる人、わが前に立ちて、
And Cornelius said—Four days ago, counting unto this very hour, I was keeping, the ninth hour, as one of prayer, in my house. And lo! a man stood before me, in bright clothing,
31 「コルネリオよ、汝の祈は聽かれ、なんぢの施濟は神の前に憶えられたり。
And saith—Cornelius! thy prayer hath been heard, and, thine alms, have been remembered before God.
32 人をヨツパに送りてペテロと稱ふるシモンを招け、かれは海邊なる皮工シモンの家に宿るなり」と云へり。
Send, therefore, unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. The same is being entertained in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea.
33 われ速かに人を汝に遣したるに、汝の來れるは忝けなし。いま我等はみな、主の汝に命じ給ひし凡てのことを聽かんとて、神の前に在り』
Immediately, therefore, I sent unto thee: Thou, also hast, well, done in coming. Now, therefore, all we, before God are present, to hear all things that have been enjoined upon thee by the Lord.
34 ペテロ口を開きて言ふ、『われ今まことに知る、神は偏ることをせず、
And Peter, opening his mouth, said—Of a truth, I find that God is no respecter of persons;
35 何れの國の人にても神を敬ひて義をおこなふ者を容れ給ふことを。
But, in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh righteousness, is acceptable unto him.
36 神はイエス・キリスト（これ萬民の主）によりて平和の福音をのべ、イスラエルの子孫に言をおくり給へり。
As touching the word he hath sent unto the sons of Israel, announcing the glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ—the same, is Lord, of all,
37 即ちヨハネの傳へしバプテスマの後、ガリラヤより始り、ユダヤ全國に弘りし言なるは汝らの知る所なり。
Ye yourselves, know what hath come to pass throughout the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John proclaimed, respecting Jesus who was of Nazareth: —
38 これは神が聖 靈と能力とを注ぎ給ひしナザレのイエスの事にして、彼は徧くめぐりて善き事をおこなひ、凡て惡魔に制せらるる者を醫せり、神これと偕に在したればなり。
How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, God, was with him.
39 我等はユダヤの地およびエルサレムにて、イエスの行ひ給ひし諸般のことの證人なり、人々は彼を木にかけて殺せり。
We also, are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the country of the Jews and Jerusalem; whom they even slew by suspending upon a tree; —
40 神は之を三日めに甦へらせ、かつ明かに現したまへり。
The same, God raised up on the third day, and gave him to become, manifest,
41 然れど凡ての民にはあらで、神の預じめ選び給へる證人、即ちイエスの死人の中より甦へり給ひし後、これと共に飮食せし我らに現し給ひしなり。
Not unto all the people, but unto witnesses who had been fore-appointed by God, unto us, who, indeed, did eat and drink with him after his rising from among the dead.
42 イエスは己の生ける者と死にたる者との審判 主に、神より定められしを證することと、民どもに宣傳ふる事とを我らに命じ給ふ。
And he charged us to proclaim unto the people, and bear full witness, that—This, is he that hath been marked out by God to be judge of living and dead.
43 彼につきては預言者たちも皆、おほよそ彼を信ずる者の、その名によりて罪の赦を得べきことを證す』
Unto the same, do all the prophets bear witness, That, remission of sins, is to be received through his name, by every one that believeth on him.
44 ペテロ尚これらの言を語りをる間に、聖 靈、御言をきく凡ての者に降りたまふ。
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were hearing the word.
45 ペテロと共に來りし割禮ある信者は、異邦人にも聖 靈の賜物のそそがれしに驚けり。
And the faithful, of the circumcision, who had come with Peter, were amazed, —in that, upon the nations also, the free-gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out;
46 そは彼らが異言をかたり、神を崇むるを聞きたるに因る。
For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter—
47 ここにペテロ答へて言ふ『この人々われらの如く聖 靈をうけたれば、誰か水を禁じて其のバプテスマを受くることを拒み得んや』
Surely then, the water, can no man forbid, that these should not be immersed, —seeing that, the Holy Spirit, they have received, as well as we.
48 遂にイエス・キリストの御名によりてバプテスマを授けられんことを命じたり。ここに彼らペテロに數日とどまらんことを請へり。
And he commanded them in the name of Jesus Christ to be immersed. Then, requested they him, to abide still some days.
