使徒の働き 4
1 かれら民に語り居るとき、祭司ら・宮守頭およびサドカイ人ら近づき來りて、
And as they spake vnto the people, the Priestes and the Captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them,
2 その民を教へ、又イエスの事を引きて死人の中よりの復活を宣ぶるを憂ひ、
Taking it grieuously that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus Name the resurrection from the dead.
3 手をかけて之を捕へしに、はや夕になりたれば、明くる日まで留置場に入れたり。
And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde, vntill the next day: for it was now euentide.
4 然れど、その言を聽きたる人々の中にも信ぜし者おほくありて、男の數おほよそ五 千 人となりたり。
Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand.
5 明くる日、司・長老・學者らエルサレムに會し、
And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Hierusalem,
6 大 祭司アンナス、カヤパ、ヨハネ、アレキサンデル及び大 祭司の一族みな集ひて、
And Annas the chiefe Priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the hie Priestes.
7 その中にかの二人を立てて問ふ『如何なる能力いかなる名によりて此の事を行ひしぞ』
And whe they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name haue ye done this?
8 この時ペテロ聖 靈にて滿され、彼らに言ふ『民の司たち及び長老たちよ、
Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel,
9 我らが病める者になしし善き業に就き、その如何にして救はれしかを今日もし訊さるるならば、
For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole,
10 汝ら一同およびイスラエルの民みな知れ、この人の健かになりて汝らの前に立つは、ナザレのイエス・キリスト、即ち汝らが十字架に釘け、神が死人の中より甦へらせ給ひし者の名に頼ることを。
Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole.
11 このイエスは汝ら造家者に輕しめられし石にして、隅の首石となりたるなり。
This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner.
12 他の者によりては救を得ることなし、天の下には我らの頼りて救はるべき他の名を、人に賜ひし事なければなり』
Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.
13 彼らはペテロとヨハネとの臆することなきを見、その無學の凡人なるを知りたれば、之を怪しみ、且そのイエスと偕にありし事を認む。
Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus:
14 また醫されたる人の之とともに立つを見るによりて、更に言ひ消す辭なし。
And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
15 ここに、命じて彼らを衆議所より退け、相 共に議りて言ふ、
Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,
16 『この人々を如何にすべきぞ。彼 等によりて顯著しき徴の行はれし事は、凡てエルサレムに住む者に知られ、我ら之を否むこと能はねばなり。
Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.
17 然れど愈々ひろく民の中に言ひ弘らぬやうに、彼らを脅かして、今より後かの名によりて誰にも語る事なからしめん』
But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.
18 乃ち彼らを呼び、一切イエスの名によりて語り、また教へざらんことを命じたり。
So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.
19 ペテロとヨハネと答へていふ『神に聽くよりも汝らに聽くは、神の御前に正しきか、汝ら之を審け。
But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.
20 我らは見しこと聽きしことを語らざるを得ず』
For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.
21 民みな此の有りし事に就きて神を崇めたれば、彼らを罰するに由なく、更にまた脅かして釋せり。
So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.
22 かの徴によりて醫されし人は四十歳 餘なりしなり。
For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 彼ら釋されて、その友の許にゆき、祭司長・長老らの言ひし凡てのことを告げたれば、
Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them.
24 之を聞きて皆 心を一つにし、神に對ひ、聲を揚げて言ふ『主よ、汝は天と地と海と、其の中のあらゆる物とを造り給へり。
And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,
25 曾て聖 靈によりて、汝の僕われらの先祖ダビデでの口をもて「何ゆゑ異邦人は騷ぎ立ち、民らは空しき事を謀るぞ。
Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things?
26 世の王たちは共に立ち、司らは一つにあつまりて、主および其のキリストに逆ふ」と宣給へり。
The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 果してヘロデとポンテオ・ピラトとは、異邦人およびイスラエルの民 等とともに、汝の油そそぎ給ひし聖なる僕イエスに逆ひて、此の都にあつまり、
For doutlesse, against thine holy Sonne Iesus, whome thou haddest anoynted, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselues together,
28 御手と御旨とにて、斯く成るべしと預じめ定め給ひし事をなせり。
To doe whatsoeuer thine hand, and thy counsell had determined before to be done.
29 主よ、今かれらの脅喝を御覽し、僕らに御言を聊かも臆することなく語らせ、
And nowe, O Lord, beholde their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants with all boldnesse to speake thy word,
30 御手をのべて醫を施させ、汝の聖なる僕イエスの名によりて、徴と不思議とを行はせ給へ』
So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signes, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Sonne Iesus.
31 祈り終へしとき、其の集りをる處ふるひ動き、みな聖 靈にて滿され、臆することなく神の御言を語れり。
And when as they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God boldely.
32 信じたる者の群は、おなじ心おなじ思となり、誰 一人その所有を己が者と謂はず、凡ての物を共にせり。
And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: neither any of them said, that any thing of that which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all thinges common.
33 かくて使徒たちは大なる能力をもて、主イエスの復活の證をなし、みな大なる恩惠を蒙りたり。
And with great power gaue the Apostles witnes of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus: and great grace was vpon them all.
34 彼らの中には一人の乏しき者もなかりき。これ地所あるいは家屋を有てる者、これを賣り、その賣りたる物の價を持ち來りて、
Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessours of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the price of the things that were solde,
35 使徒たちの足下に置きしを、各人その用に隨ひて分け與へられたればなり。
And layde it downe at the Apostles feete, and it was distributed vnto euery man, according as he had neede.
36 ここにクプロに生れたるレビ人にて、使徒たちにバルナバ（釋けば慰籍の子）と稱へらるるヨセフ、
Also Ioses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the sonne of consolation) being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cyprus,
37 畑ありしを賣りて其の金を持ちきたり、使徒たちの足下に置けり。
Where as he had land, solde it, and brought the money, and laid it downe at the Apostles feete.
