使徒の働き 17
1 かくてアムピポリス及びアポロニヤを經てテサロニケに到る。此處にユダヤ人の會堂ありたれば、
And, travelling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews;
2 パウロは例のごとく彼らの中に入り、三つの安息 日にわたり、聖書に基きて論じ、かつ解き明して、
and, according to Paul’s custom, he went in unto them, and, for three sabbaths, reasoned with them from the Scriptures, —
3 キリストの必ず苦難をうけ、死人の中より甦へるべきことを述べ『わが汝らに傳ふる此のイエスはキリストなり』と證せり。
opening up, and setting forth, that it was needful for, the Christ, to suffer, and to arise from among the dead; and [saying], This, is the Christ, —Jesus, whom, I, am declaring unto you.
4 その中のある人々および敬虔なる數多のギリシヤ人、また多くの重立ちたる女も信じてパウロとシラスとに從へり。
And, some from among them, were persuaded, and cast in their lot with Paul and Silas; also, of the devout Greeks, a great throng, and, of the chief women, not a few.
5 ここにユダヤ人ら嫉を起して市の無頼者をかたらひ、群衆を集めて町を騷がし、又ふたりを集民の前に曳き出さんとしてヤソンの家を圍みしが、
But the Jews, being, jealous, and taking unto themselves certain wicked men, of the rabble, and making a riot, were setting the city in an uproar; and, besieging the house of Jason, were seeking to lead them forth unto the populace, —
6 見出さざれば、ヤソンと數人の兄弟とを町 司たちの前に曳ききたり、呼はりて言ふ『天下を顛覆したる彼の者ども此處にまで來れるを、
and, not finding them, they began dragging Jason and certain brethren unto the city-rulers, shouting—They who have thrown the inhabited earth into confusion, the same, hither also, are come, —
7 ヤソン迎へ入れたり。この曹輩は皆カイザルの詔勅にそむき、他にイエスと云ふ王ありと言ふ』
unto whom Jason hath given welcome; and, these all, contrary to the decrees of Caesar, are acting, —saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 之をききて群衆と町 司たちと心をさわがし、
And they troubled the multitude and the city-rulers, when they heard these things;
9 保證を取りてヤソンと他の人々とを釋せり。
and, taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 兄弟たち直ちに夜の間にパウロとシラスとをベレヤに送りいだす。二人は彼處につきてユダヤ人の會堂にいたる。
But, the brethren, straightway, during the night, sent away both Paul and Silas unto Beroea, who, indeed, arriving, unto the synagogue of the Jews, went off;
11 此處の人々はテサロニケに居る人よりも善良にして、心より御言をうけ、この事 正しく然るか然らぬか、日々 聖書をしらぶ。
and, these, were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they welcomed the word with all readiness of mind, daily, searching the Scriptures, —whether these things could be so.
12 この故にその中の多くのもの信じたり、又ギリシヤの貴女、男子にして信じたる者も少からざりき。
Many, therefore, from among them, believed, and, of the Grecian women of the higher class, and of men, not a few.
13 然るにテサロニケのユダヤ人ら、パウロがベレヤにも神の言を傳ふることを聞きたれば、此處にも來りて群衆を動かし、かつ騷がしたり。
But, when the Jews from Thessalonica came to know that, in Beroea also, had the word of God been declared by Paul, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
14 ここに兄弟たち直ちにパウロを送り出して海邊に往かしめ、シラスとテモテとは尚ベレヤに留れり。
Howbeit, then, immediately, the brethren sent away, Paul, to be journeying as far as unto the sea; and both Silas and Timothy stayed behind, there.
15 パウロを導ける人々はアテネまで伴ひ往き、パウロよりシラスとテモテとに、疾く我に來れとの命を受けて立ち去れり。
But, they who were conducting Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and, receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy, that with, all possible speed, they would come unto him, they departed.
16 パウロ、アテネにて彼らを待ちをる間に、町に偶像の滿ちたるを見て、その心に憤慨を懷く。
But, while, in Athens, Paul was expecting them, his spirit within him was being urged on, seeing how the city was given to idols.
17 されば會堂にてはユダヤ人および敬虔なる人々と論じ、市場にては日々 逢ふところの者と論じたり。
So then, he began reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them who worshipped; and, in the market-place, every day, with them who happened to be at hand.
18 斯てエピクロス派ならびにストア派の哲學者 數人これと論じあひ、或 者らは言ふ『この囀る者なにを言はんとするか』或 者らは言ふ『かれは異なる神々を傳ふる者の如し』是はパウロがイエスと復活とを宣べたる故なり。
But, certain both of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were encountering him; and some were saying—What might this picker-up-of-scraps wish to be saying? And, others—Of foreign demons, he seemeth to be a declarer: because, of Jesus and the Resurrection, he was announcing the joyful tidings.
19 遂にパウロをアレオパゴスに連れ往きて言ふ『なんぢが語るこの新しき教の如何なるものなるを、我ら知り得べきか。
And so, laying hold of him, they brought him up, to the Hill of Mars, saying—Can we get to know what this new teaching is, which, by thee, is being spoken.
20 なんぢ異なる事を我らの耳に入るるが故に、我らその何事たるを知らんと思ふなり』
For, certain foreign things, art thou bringing into our hearing: We are minded to get to know, therefore, what these things please to be!
21 アテネ人も、彼處に住む旅人も、皆ただ新しき事を或は語り、或は聞きてのみ日を送りゐたり。
Now, all Athenians and the sojourning foreigners, unto nothing else, were devoting their leisure, than to be telling or hearing, something newer.
22 パウロ、アレオパゴスの中に立ちて言ふ『アテネ人よ、我すべての事に就きて汝らが神々を敬ふ心の篤きを見る。
And Paul taking his stand in the midst of the Hill of Mars, said—Ye men of Athens! In every way, how unusually reverent of the demons ye are, I perceive.
23 われ汝らが拜むものを見つつ道を過ぐるほどに「知らざる神に」と記したる一つの祭壇を見出したり。然れば我なんぢらが知らずして拜む所のものを汝らに示さん。
For, passing through, and carefully observing your objects of devotion, I found an altar also, in which was inscribed—Unto an Unknown God. What, therefore, not knowing, ye reverence, the same, do, I, declare unto you.
24 世界とその中のあらゆる物とを造り給ひし神は、天 地の主にましませば、手にて造れる宮に住み給はず。
The God that made the world and all things that are therein, the same, being, Lord, of heaven and earth, not in hand-made shrines, doth dwell,
25 みづから凡ての人に生命と息と萬の物とを與へ給へば、物に乏しき所あるが如く、人の手にて事ふることを要し給はず。
nor, by human hands, is waited upon, as though in want of anything, himself, giving unto all life and breath and all things;
26 一人よりして諸種の國人を造りいだし、之を地の全面に住ましめ、時期の限と住居の界とを定め給へり。
he made also, of one, every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, —marking out fitting opportunities, and the bounds of their dwelling place,
27 これ人をして神を尋ねしめ、或は探りて見 出す事あらしめん爲なり。されど神は我等おのおのを離れ給ふこと遠からず、
that they might be seeking God—if, after all, indeed, they might feel after him and find him, —although, in truth, he is already not far from any one of us.
28 我らは神の中に生き、動きまた在るなり。汝らの詩人の中の或 者どもも「我らは又その裔なり」と云へる如し。
For, in him, we live and move and are: as, even some of your own poets, have said—For, his offspring also, we are.
29 かく神の裔なれば、神を金・銀・石など人の工と思考とにて刻める物と等しく思ふべきにあらず。
Being, then, offspring, of God, we ought not to be supposing that, unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and device of man, the Divine, is like.
30 神はかかる無知の時代を見 過しにし給ひしが、今は何處にても凡ての人に悔改むべきことを告げたまふ。
The times of ignorance, therefore, overlooking, God, as things now are, is charging all men everywhere to repent,
31 曩に立て給ひし一人によりて、義をもて世界を審かんために日をさだめ、彼を死人の中より甦へらせて保證を萬人に與へ給へり』
inasmuch as he hath appointed a day, in which he is about to be judging the habitable earth in righteousness, by a man whom he hath pointed out, —offering faith unto all, by raising him from among the dead?
32 人々、死人の復活をききて、或 者は嘲笑ひしが、或 者は『われら復この事を汝に聞かん』と言へり。
Now, when they heard of raising the dead, some, indeed, began to mock, while, others, said—We will hear thee, concerning this, even again.
33 ここにパウロ人々のなかを出で去る。
Thus, Paul, came forth out of their midst.
34 されど彼に附隨ひて信じたるもの數人あり。其の中にアレオパゴスの裁判人デオヌシオ及びダマリスと名づくる女あり、尚その他にもありき。
But, certain persons, joining themselves unto him, believed; among whom were even Dionysius the Mars-hill judge, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.
