使徒の働き 14
1 二人はイコニオムにて相 共にユダヤ人の會堂に入りて語りたれば、之に由りてユダヤ人およびギリシヤ人あまた信じたり。
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 然るに從はぬユダヤ人ら異邦人を唆かし、兄弟たちに對して惡意を懷かしむ。
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
3 二人は久しく留り、主によりて臆せずして語り、主は彼らの手により、徴と不思議とを行ひて惠の御言を證したまふ。
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 ここに町の人々 相 分れて、或 者はユダヤ人に黨し、或 者は使徒たちに黨せり。
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5 異邦人ユダヤ人および其の司ら相 共に使徒たちを辱しめ、石にて撃たんと企てしに、
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6 彼ら悟りてルカオニヤの町なるルステラ、デルベ及びその邊の地にのがれ、
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district round,
7 彼處にて福音を宣傳ふ。
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 ルステラに足 弱き人ありて坐しゐたり、生れながらの跛者にて曾て歩みたる事なし。
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
9 この人パウロの語るを聽きゐたるが、パウロ之に目をとめ、救はるべき信仰あるを見て、
This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 大聲に『なんぢの足にて眞直に起て』と言ひたれば、かれ躍り上りて歩めり。
said loudly, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 群衆、パウロの爲ししことを見て聲を揚げ、ルカオニヤの國語にて『神たち人の形をかりて我らに降り給へり』と言ひ、
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, ‘The Gods have come down to us in human form.’
12 バルナバをゼウスと稱へ、パウロを宗と語る人なる故にヘルメスと稱ふ。
So they called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he took the lead in speaking;
13 而して町の外なるゼウスの宮の祭司、數匹の牛と花 飾とを門の前に携へきたりて、群衆とともに犧牲を献げんとせり。
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
14 使徒たち、即ちバルナバとパウロと之を聞きて、己が衣をさき群衆のなかに馳せ入り、
But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. ‘Friends, why are you doing this?’ they shouted.
15 呼はりて言ふ『人々よ、なんぞ斯かる事をなすか、我らも汝らと同じ情を有てる人なり、汝らに福音を宣べて斯かる虚しき者より離れ、天と地と海とその中にある有らゆる物とを造り給ひし活ける神に歸らしめんとするなり。
‘We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 過ぎし時代には神、すべての國人の己が道々を歩むに任せ給ひしかど、
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
17 また自己を證し給はざりし事なし。即ち善き事をなし、天より雨を賜ひ、豐穰の時をあたへ、食物と勸喜とをもて汝らの心を滿ち足らはせ給ひしなり』
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.’
18 斯く言ひて辛うじて群衆の己らに犧牲を献げんとするを止めたり。
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 然るに數人のユダヤ人、アンテオケ及びイコニオムより來り、群衆を勸め、而してパウロを石にて撃ち、既に死にたりと思ひて町の外に曳き出せり。
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
20 弟子たち之を立 圍みゐたるに、パウロ起きて町に入る。明くる日バルナバと共にデルベに出で往き、
But, when the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 その町に福音を宣傳へ、多くの人を弟子として後、ルステラ、イコニオム、アンテオケに還り、
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 弟子たちの心を堅うし信仰に止らんことを勸め、また我らが多くの艱難を歴て神の國に入るべきことを教ふ。
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
23 また教會 毎に長老をえらび、斷食して祈り、弟子たちを其の信ずる所の主に委ぬ。
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 かくてピシデヤを經てパンフリヤに到り、
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 ペルガにて御言を語りて後アタリヤに下り、
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
26 彼處より船出して、その成し果てたる務のために神の惠みに委ねられし處なるアンテオケに往けり。
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
27 既に到りて教會の人々を集めたれば、神が己らと偕に在して成し給ひし凡てのこと、竝に信仰の門を異邦人にひらき給ひしことを述ぶ。
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 かくて久しく留りて弟子たちと偕にゐたり。
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
