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、
And it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, came to Ephesus; and finding 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, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
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』
And he said to them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John'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』
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
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 into the name of the Lord Jesus.
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。
And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, and prophesied.
7 この人々は凡て十二 人ほどなり。
And all the men were about twelve.
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。
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading 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 divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one 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。
And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, 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。
And God wrought 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 from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
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。
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
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。
And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva a Jew, [and] chief of the priests, who did so.
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』
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
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, leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of 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。
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus 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。
And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed 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 also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all [men]; and they counted the price of them, and found [it] 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 mightily grew the word of God, and prevailed.
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』
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, 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。
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23 その頃この道に就きて一方ならぬ騷擾おこれり。
And the same time there arose no small stir about that 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 silver-smith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the artificers;
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 called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft 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。
Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which 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』
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.
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』
And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana 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。
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.
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。
And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.
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 certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself 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 cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not 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、
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his 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 knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana 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。
And when the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
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 contradicted, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
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 ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your 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。
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead 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 ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful 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 we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause by which we may give an account of this concourse.
41 斯く言ひて集會を散じたり。
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
