< 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。
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
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 and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be against the brothers.
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。
So Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the message of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done by 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 population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were 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 an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and 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、
Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled for refuge to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region.
There they continued to preach the gospel.
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。
Now there was a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb 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 listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked at him intently, and when he saw that he had 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。
he said with a loud voice, “Stand up on yoʋr feet!” So the man leaped up and began to walk.
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、
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.”
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。
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since he was the one who 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。
Then the priest of the shrine of Zeus that was located in front of their city brought bulls and garlands to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices together with the crowds.
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 about it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out,
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。
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all 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 past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,
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』
although he did not leave himself without a witness in that he did good by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
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。
Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifices 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。
Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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 gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on 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 preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas 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。
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many tribulations we must 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。
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.
After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,
and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
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, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.
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 they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.
