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。
Following the rescue, they learned that the island was called Malta.
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。
Now the natives showed us unusual kindness, in that they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was 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。
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, because of the heat a viper came out and fastened itself on 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』
So when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they started saying to each other, “This man must be a murderer, whom Justice has not allowed to live, even though rescued from the sea.”
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。
But he just shook the beast off into the fire and suffered 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。
Well they were expecting him to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead; but after waiting for quite a while and seeing nothing unusual happening to him, they changed their mind and started saying 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 that region there were properties belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and in a friendly manner took care of us for three days.
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。
Well it happened that the father of Publius was sick in bed with fever and dysentery; Paul went in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed 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、
So, when this had happened, the rest of those on the island who had diseases started coming and being 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 honored us in many ways, and when we put to sea they provided the necessary things.
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、
Now after three months we put to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was ‘the Twin Brothers’.
12 シラクサにつきて三日とまり、
We put in at Syracuse and stayed there 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、
from there we tacked back and forth and arrived at Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and 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 we found brothers who urged us to stay there seven days—that was how we went toward 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 the brothers there, when they heard about our circumstances, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them 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。
Now when we entered Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander; but Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who guarded 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。
It happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had assembled he said to them: “Men, brothers, though I had done nothing against ‘the people’ or the ancestral customs, still I was delivered as 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, when they had examined me, were intending to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
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 when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
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 reason therefore I asked to see you and speak with you; it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
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。
So they said to him: “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brothers who came reported or spoken any evil about you.
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 desire to hear from you what you think; because as for this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”
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。
So arranging a day with him, even more people came to him at his lodging, to whom he kept expounding from morning until evening: solemnly testifying about the Kingdom of God and trying to convince them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
24 パウロのいふ言を或 者は信じ、或 者は信ぜず。
Well some were persuaded by what had been said, and some kept refusing to believe.
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、
So being in disagreement among themselves they started to leave, after Paul had said this one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke correctly to our fathers through Isaiah the prophet,
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, “You will keep on hearing, but never understand; you will keep on seeing, but never 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」
because the heart of this people has become sluggish, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; in order that they not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart, nor turn back, so I could 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』
Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”
29 [なし]
And when he had said these things the Jews went their way, having a great dispute 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、
Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to see 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。
proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness, without hindrance.
