使徒の働き 18
1 この後パウロ、アテネを離れてコリントに到り、
AND after these transactions, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth;
2 アクラと云ふポントに生れたるユダヤ人に遇ふ。クラウデオ、ユダヤ人にことごとくロマを退くべき命を下したるによりて、近頃その妻プリスキラと共にイタリヤより來りし者なり。
and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome, ) he turned in to them.
3 パウロ其の許に到りしに、同業なりしかば偕に居りて工をなせり。彼らの業は幕屋 製造なり。
And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers: )
4 かくて安息 日 毎に會堂にて論じ、ユダヤ人とギリシヤ人とを勸む。
and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.
5 シラスとテモテとマケドニヤより來りて後は、パウロ專ら御言を宣ぶることに力め、イエスのキリストたることをユダヤ人に證せり。
And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 然るに、彼ら之に逆ひかつ罵りたれば、パウロ衣を拂ひて言ふ『なんぢらの血は汝らの首に歸すべし、我はいさぎよし、今より異邦人に往かん』
But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.
7 遂に此處を去りて、神を敬ふテテオ・ユストと云ふ人の家に到る。この家は會堂に隣れり。
And departing thence, he came to the house of a person, called Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.
8 會堂 司クリスポその家族 一同と共に主を信じ、また多くのコリント人も聽きて信じ、かつバプテスマを受けたり。
But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 主は夜まぼろしの中にパウロに言ひ給ふ『おそるな、語れ、默すな、
Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:
10 我なんぢと偕にあり、誰も汝を攻めて害ふ者なからん。此の町には多くの我が民あり』
for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city.
11 かくてパウロ一年 六个月ここに留りて神の言を教へたり。
And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 ガリオ、アカヤの總督たる時、ユダヤ人、心を一つにしてパウロを攻め、審判の座に曳きゆき、
But when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
13 『この人は律法にかなはぬ仕方にて神を拜むことを人に勸む』と言ひたれば、
saying, This is the fellow that earnestly persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 パウロ口を開かんとせしに、ガリオ、ユダヤ人に言ふ『ユダヤ人よ、不正または奸惡の事ならば、我が汝らに聽くは道理なれど、
Then Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews,
15 もし言・名あるいは汝らの律法にかかはる問題ならば、汝 等みづから理むべし。我かかる事の審判 人となるを好まず』
If indeed this was now a matter of injustice, or wicked knavery, with reason I should hear you patiently; but if it be merely a controversy about the word, and names, and a law peculiar to yourselves, settle it yourselves: for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 かくて彼らを審判の座より逐ひいだす。
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 ここに人々みな會堂 司ソステネを執へ、審判の座の前にて打ち抃きたり。ガリオは凡て此らの事を意とせざりき。
Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Gallio paid no regard to any of these things.
18 パウロなほ久しく留りてのち、兄弟たちに別を告げ、プリスキラとアクラとを伴ひ、シリヤに向ひて船出す。早くより誓願ありたれば、ケンクレヤにて髮を剃れり。
Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 かくてエペソに著き、其處にこの二人を留めおき、自らは會堂に入りてユダヤ人と論ず。
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself went into the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.
20 人々かれに今しばらく居らんことを請ひたれど、肯んぜずして、
But when they were importunate with him to prolong his stay among them, he consented not;
21 別を告げ『神の御意ならば復なんぢらに返らん』と言ひてエペソより船出し、
but took his leave of them, saying, I must by any means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus.
22 カイザリヤにつき、而してエルサレムに上り、教會の安否を問ひてアンテオケに下り、
And landing at Cesarea, he went up, and having saluted the church at Jerusalem, he went down to Antioch.
23 此處に暫く留りて後、また去りてガラテヤ、フルギヤの地を次々に經て凡ての弟子を堅うせり。
And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
24 時にアレキサンデリヤ生れのユダヤ人にて、聖書に通達したるアポロと云ふ能辯なる者エペソに下る。
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus.
25 この人は曩に主の道を教へられ、ただヨハネのバプテスマを知るのみなれど、熱心にして詳細にイエスの事を語り、かつ教へたり。
He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John.
26 かれ會堂にて臆せずして語り始めしを、プリスキラとアクラと聞きゐて之を迎へ入れ、なほも詳細に神の道を解き明せり。
So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord.
27 アポロ遂にアカヤに渡らんとしたれば、兄弟たち之を勵まし、かつ弟子たちに彼を受け容るるやうに書き贈れり。彼かしこに往き、既に恩惠によりて信じたる者に多くの益を與ふ。
And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to confirm those who believed through grace.
28 即ち聖書に基き、イエスのキリストたる事を示して、激甚くかつ公然にユダヤ人を言ひ伏せたるなり。
For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
