使徒の働き 19
1 かくてアポロ、コリントに居りし時、パウロ東の地方を經てエペソに到り、或 弟子たちに逢ひて、
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 『なんぢら信者となりしとき聖 靈を受けしか』と言ひたれば、彼 等いふ『いな、我らは聖 靈の有ることすら聞かず』
He said to them, "Did you receive the Rukha d'Qudsha when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Rukha d'Qudsha."
3 パウロ言ふ『されば何によりてバプテスマを受けしか』彼 等いふ『ヨハネのバプテスマなり』
He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into Yukhanan's baptism."
4 パウロ言ふ『ヨハネは悔改のバプテスマを授けて、己に後れて來るもの（即ちイエス）を信ずべきことを民に云へるなり』
Paul said, "Yukhanan indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua."
5 彼 等これを聞きて主イエスの名によりてバプテスマを受く。
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 パウロ手を彼らの上に按きしとき、聖 靈その上に望みたれば、彼ら異言を語り、かつ預言せり。
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Rukha d'Qudsha came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 この人々は凡て十二 人ほどなり。
They were about twelve men in all.
8 ここにパウロ會堂に入りて、三个月のあひだ臆せずして神の國に就きて論じ、かつ勸めたり。
He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
9 然るに或 者ども頑固になりて從はず、會衆の前に神の道を譏りたれば、パウロ彼らを離れ、弟子たちをも退かしめ、日毎にツラノの會堂にて論ず。
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 斯くすること二年の間なりしかば、アジヤに住む者は、ユダヤ人もギリシヤ人もみな主の言を聞けり。
This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
11 而して神はパウロの手によりて尋常ならぬ能力ある業を行ひたまふ。
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 即ち人々かれの身より或は手拭あるひは前垂をとりて病める者に著くれば、病は去り惡 靈は出でたり。
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13 ここに諸國 遍歴の咒文 師なるユダヤ人 數人あり、試みに惡 靈に憑かれたる者に對して、主イエスの名を呼び『われパウロの宣ぶるイエスによりて、汝らに命ず』と言へり。
But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, "I adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches."
14 斯くなせる者の中に、ユダヤの祭司長スケワの七人の子もありき。
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 惡 靈こたへて言ふ『われイエスを知り、又パウロを知る。然れど汝らは誰ぞ』
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
16 かくて惡 靈の入りたる人、かれらに跳びかかりて二人に勝ち、これを打拉ぎたれば、彼ら裸體になり傷を受けてその家を逃げ出でたり。
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
17 此の事エペソに住む凡てのユダヤ人とギリシヤ人とに知れたれば、懼かれら一同のあひだに生じ、主イエスの名 崇めらる。
This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
18 信者となりし者おほく來り、懴悔して自らの行爲を告ぐ。
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19 また魔術を行ひし多くの者ども、その書物を持ちきたり、衆人の前にて焚きたるが、其の價を算ふれば銀 五 萬ほどなりき。
Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 主の言、大に弘りて權力を得しこと斯くの如し。
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 此 等の事のありし後、パウロ、マケドニヤ、アカヤを經てエルサレムに往かんと心を決めて言ふ『われ彼處に到りてのち必ずロマをも見るべし』
Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Urishlim, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
22 かくて己に事ふる者の中にてテモテとエラストとの二人をマケドニヤに遣し、自己はアジヤに暫く留る。
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 その頃この道に就きて一方ならぬ騷擾おこれり。
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
24 デメテリオと云ふ銀 細工人ありしが、アルテミスの銀の小宮を造りて細工人らに多くの業を得させたり。
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 それらの者および同じ類の職業 者を集めて言ふ『人々よ、われらが此の業に頼りて利 益を得ることは、汝らの知る所なり。
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 然るに、かのパウロは手にて造れる物は神にあらずと云ひて、唯にエペソのみならず、殆ど全アジヤにわたり、多くの人々を説き勸めて惑したり、これ亦なんぢらの見 聞する所なり。
You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.
27 かくては啻に我らの職業の輕しめらるる恐あるのみならず、また大女神アルテミスの宮も蔑せられ、全アジヤ全世界のをがむ大女神の稜威も滅ぶるに至らん』
Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
28 彼 等これを聞きて憤恚に滿され、叫びて言ふ『大なる哉、エペソ人のアルテミス』
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 かくて町 擧りて騷ぎ立ち、人々パウロの同行 者なるマケドニヤ人ガイオとアリスタルコとを捕へ、心を一つにして劇場に押入りたり。
The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
30 パウロ集民のなかに入らんとしたれど、弟子たち許さず。
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
31 又アジヤの祭の司のうちの或 者どもも彼と親しかりしかば、人を遣して劇場に入らぬやうにと勸めたり。
And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
32 ここに會衆おほいに亂れ、大方はその何のために集りたるかを知らずして、或 者はこの事を、或 者はかの事を叫びたり。
Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together.
33 遂に群衆の或 者ども、ユダヤ人の推し出したるアレキサンデルに勸めたれば、かれ手を搖かして集民に辯明をなさんとすれど、
They brought Alexandros out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexandros beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34 其のユダヤ人たるを知り、みな同音に『おほいなる哉、エペソ人のアルテミス』と呼はりて二 時間ばかりに及ぶ。
But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
35 時に書記役、群衆を鎭めおきて言ふ『さてエペソ人よ、誰かエペソの町が大女神アルテミス及び天より降りし像の宮守なることを知らざる者あらんや。
When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 これは言ひ消し難きことなれば、なんぢら靜なるべし、妄なる事を爲すべからず。
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 この人々は宮の物を盜む者にあらず、我らの女 神を謗る者にもあらず、然るに汝ら之を曳き來れり。
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 もしデメテリオ及び偕にをる細工人ら、人に就きて訴ふべき事あらば、裁判の日あり、かつ司あり、彼 等おのおの訴ふべし。
If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39 もし又ほかの事につきて議する所あらば、正式の議會にて決すべし。
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 我ら今日の騷擾につきては、何の理由もなきにより咎を受くる恐あり。この會合につきて言ひひらくこと能はねばなり』
For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
41 斯く言ひて集會を散じたり。
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
