使徒の働き 27
1 すでに我等をイタリヤに渡らしむること決りたれば、パウロ及びその他 數人の囚人を、近衞 隊の百卒長ユリアスと云ふ人に付せり。
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
2 ここに我らアジヤの海邊なる各處に寄せゆくアドラミテオの船の出帆せんとするに乘りて出づ。テサロニケのマケドニヤ人アリスタルコも我らと共にありき。
And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 次の日シドンに著きたれば、ユリアス懇切にパウロを遇ひ、その友らの許にゆきて歡待を受くることを許せり。
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously pleaded Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 かくて此處より船出せしが、風の逆ふによりてクプロの風下の方をはせ、
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 キリキヤ及びパンフリヤの沖を過ぎてルキヤのミラに著く。
And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 彼處にてイタリヤにゆくアレキサンデリヤの船に遇ひたれば、百卒長われらを之に乘らしむ。
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 多くの日のあひだ船の進み遲く、辛うじてクニドに對へる處に到りしが、風に阻へられてサルモネの沖を過ぎ、クレテの風下の方をはせ、
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come opposite to Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, opposite to Salmone;
8 陸に沿ひ辛うじて良き港といふ處につく。その近き處にラサヤの町あり。
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh unto which was the city of Lasea.
9 船路 久しきを歴て、斷食の期節も既に過ぎたれば、航海 危きにより、パウロ人々に勸めて言ふ、
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 『人々よ、我この航海の害あり損 多くして、ただ積荷と船とのみならず、我らの生命にも及ぶべきを認む』
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 されど百卒長は、パウロの言ふ所よりも船 長と船 主との言を重んじたり。
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 且この港は冬を過すに不便なるより、多數の者も、なし得んにはピニクスに到り、彼處にて冬を過さんとて、此處を船出するを可しとせり。ピニクスはクレテの港にて東 北と東 南とに向ふ。
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
13 南 風おもむろに吹きたれば、彼ら志望を得たりとして錨をあげ、クレテの岸邊に沿ひて進みたり。
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
14 幾程もなくユーラクロンといふ疾風その島より吹きおろし、
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 之がために船は吹き流され、風に向ひて進むこと能はねば、船は風の追ふに任す。
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 クラウダといふ小島の風下の方にいたり、辛うじて小艇を收め、
And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 これを船に引上げてのち、備綱にて船體を卷き縛り、またスルテスの洲に乘りかけんことを恐れ、帆を下して流る。
Which when they had taken up, they used support cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 いたく暴風に惱され、次の日、船の者ども積荷を投げすて、
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 三日めに手づから船具を棄てたり。
And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
20 數日のあひだ日も星も見えず、暴風はげしく吹き荒びて、我らの救はるべき望ついに絶え果てたり。
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
21 人々の食せぬこと久しくなりたる時、パウロその中に立ちて言ふ『人々よ、なんぢら前に我が勸をきき、クレテより船出せずして、この害と損とを受けずあるべき筈なりき。
But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, all of you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 いま我なんぢらに勸む、心 安かれ、汝 等のうち一人だに生命をうしなふ者なし、ただ船を失はん。
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
23 わが屬するところ我が事ふる所の神の使、昨夜わが傍らに立ちて、
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 「パウロよ、懼るな、なんぢ必ずカイザルの前に立たん、視よ、神は汝と同船する者をことごとく汝に賜へり」と云ひたればなり。
Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.
25 この故に人々よ、心 安かれ、我はその我に語り給ひしごとく必ず成るべしと神を信ず。
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 而して我らは或 島に推上げらるべし』
Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 かくて十 四日めの夜に至りて、アドリヤの海を漂ひゆきたるに、夜半ごろ水夫ら陸に近づきたりと思ひて、
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country;
28 水を測りたれば、二 十 尋なるを知り、少しく進みてまた測りたれば、十 五 尋なるを知り、
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 岩に乘り上げんことを恐れて、艫より錨を四つ投して夜明を待ちわぶ。
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 然るに水夫ら船より逃れ去らんと欲し、舳より錨を曳きゆくに言 寄せて小艇を海に下したれば、
And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
31 パウロ、百卒長と兵卒らとに言ふ『この者ども若し船に留らずば、汝ら救はるること能はず』
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
32 ここに兵卒ら小艇の綱を斷切りて、その流れゆくに任す。
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 夜の明けんとする頃、パウロ凡ての人に食せんことを勸めて言ふ『なんぢら待ち待ちて食事せぬこと今日にて十 四日なり。
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that all of you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 されば汝らに食せんことを勸む、これ汝らが救のためなり、汝らの頭髮 一筋だに首より落つる事なし』
Wherefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
35 斯く言ひて後みづからパンを取り、一同の前にて神に謝し、擘きて食し始めたれば、
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 人々もみな心を安んじて食したり。
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
37 船に居る我らは凡て二 百 七 十 六 人なりき。
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 人々 食し飽きてのち、穀物を海に投げ棄てて船を輕くせり。
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 夜明になりて、孰の土地かは知らねど、砂濱の入江を見出し、なし得べくば此處に船を寄せんと相 議り、
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 錨を斷ちて海に棄つるとともに、舵纜をゆるめ舳の帆を揚げて、風にまかせつつ砂濱さして進む。
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 然るに潮の流れあふ處にいたりて船を淺瀬に乘り上げたれば、舳 膠著きて動かず、艫は浪の激しきに破れたり。
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the front part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 兵卒らは囚人の泳ぎて逃れ去らんことを恐れ、これを殺さんと議りしに、
And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 百卒長パウロを救はんと欲して、その議るところを阻み、泳ぎうる者に命じ、海に跳び入りてまず上陸せしめ、
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
44 その他の者をば或は板あるひは船の碎片に乘らしむ。斯くしてみな上陸して救はるるを得たり。
And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
