使徒の働き 28
1 われら救はれて後、この島のマルタと稱ふるを知れり。
And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.
2 土人ら一方ならぬ情を我らに表し、降りしきる雨と寒氣とのために、火を焚きて我ら一同を待遇せり。
But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
3 パウロ柴を束ねて火にくべたれば、熱によりて蝮いでて其の手につく。
And Paul having gathered a [certain] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid [it] on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized his hand.
4 蛇のその手に懸りたるを土人ら見て互に言ふ『この人は必ず殺人者なるべし、海より救はれしも、天道はその生くるを容さぬなり』
And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, [though] saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.
5 パウロ蛇を火のなかに振り落して何の害をも受けざりき。
He however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm.
6 人々は彼が腫れ出づるか、または忽ち倒れ死ぬるならんと候ふ。久しく窺ひたれど、聊かも害を受けぬを見て、思を變へて、此は神なりと言ふ。
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.
7 この處の邊に島司のもてる土地あり、島司の名はポプリオといふ。此の人われらを迎へて懇切に三日の間もてなせり。
Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave [us] hospitality three days in a very friendly way.
8 ポプリオの父、熱と痢病とに罹りて臥し居たれば、パウロその許にいたり、祈りかつ手を按きて醫せり。
And it happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him.
9 この事ありてより、島の病める人々みな來りて醫されたれば、
But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:
10 禮を厚くして我らを敬ひ、また船出の時には必要なる品々を贈りたり。
who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
11 三月の後、われらはこの島に冬籠せしデオスクリの號あるアレキサンデリヤの船にて出で、
And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.
12 シラクサにつきて三日とまり、
And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.
13 此處より繞りてレギオンにいたり、一日を過ぎて南 風ふき起りたれば、我ら二日めにポテオリに著き、
Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 此處にて兄弟たちに逢ひ、その勸によりて七日のあひだ留り、而して遂にロマに往く。
where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.
15 かしこの兄弟たち我らの事をききて、アピオポロおよびトレスタベルネまで來りて我らを迎ふ。パウロこれを見て神に感謝し、その心 勇みたり。
And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
16 我らロマに入りて後、パウロは己を守る一人の兵卒とともに別に住むことを許さる。
And when we came to Rome, [the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but] Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept him.
17 三日すぎてパウロ、ユダヤ人の重立ちたる者を呼び集む。その集りたる時これに言ふ『兄弟たちよ、我はわが民わが先祖たちの慣例に悖ることを一つも爲さざりしに、エルサレムより囚人となりて、ロマ人の手に付されたり。
And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, I having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 かれら我を審きて死に當ることなき故に、我を釋さんと思ひしに、
who having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy of death in me.
19 ユダヤ人さからひたれば、餘義なくカイザルに上訴せり。然れど我が國人を訴へんとせしにあらず。
But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of.
20 この故に我なんぢらに會ひ、かつ共に語らんことを願へり、我はイスラエルの懷く希望の爲にこの鎖に繋がれたり』
For this cause therefore I have called you to [me] to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.
21 かれら言ふ『われら汝につきてユダヤより書を受けず、また兄弟たちの中より來りて、汝の善からぬ事を告げたる者も、語りたる者もなし。
And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee.
22 ただ我らは汝の思ふところを聞かんと欲するなり。それは此の宗旨の到る處にて非 難せらるるを知ればなり』
But we beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
23 ここに日を定めて多くの人パウロの宿に來りたれば、パウロ朝より夕まで神の國のことを説明して證をなし、かつモーセの律法と預言者の書とを引きてイエスのことを勸めたり。
And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.
24 パウロのいふ言を或 者は信じ、或 者は信ぜず。
And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved.
25 互に相 合はずして退かんとしたるに、パウロ一言を述べて言ふ『宜なるかな、聖 靈は預言者イザヤによりて汝らの先祖たちに語り給へり。曰く、
And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers,
26 「なんぢらこの民に往きて言へ、なんぢら聞きて聞けども悟らず、見て見れども認めず、
saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.
27 この民の心はにぶく、耳は聞くにものうく、目は閉ぢたればなり。これ目にて見、耳にて聞き、心にてさとり、ひるがへりて我に醫さるることなからん爲なり」
For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
28 然れば汝ら知れ、神のこの救は異邦人に遣されたり、彼らは之を聽くべし』
Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; they also will hear [it].
29 [なし]
[And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
30 パウロは滿 二年のあひだ、己が借り受けたる家に留り、その許にきたる凡ての者を迎へて、
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him,
31 更に臆せずまた妨げられずして、神の國をのべ、主イエス・キリストの事を教へたり。
preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
