使徒の働き 9
1 サウロは主の弟子たちに對して、なほ恐喝と殺害との氣を充し、大 祭司にいたりて、
And Saul yet breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of ye Lord, went vnto the hie Priest,
2 ダマスコにある諸 教會への添書を請ふ。この道の者を見出さば、男女にかかはらず縛りてエルサレムに曳かん爲なり。
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
3 往きてダマスコに近づきたるとき、忽ち天より光いでて、彼を環り照したれば、
Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
4 かれ地に倒れて『サウロ、サウロ、何ぞ我を迫害するか』といふ聲をきく。
And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 彼いふ『主よ、なんぢは誰ぞ』答へたまふ『われは汝が迫害するイエスなり。
And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
6 起きて町に入れ、さらば汝なすべき事を告げらるべし』
He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe.
7 同行の人々、物 言ふこと能はずして立ちたりしが、聲は聞けども誰をも見ざりき。
The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, but seeing no man.
8 サウロ地より起きて目をあけたれど何も見えざれば、人その手をひきてダマスコに導きゆきしに、
And Saul arose from the ground, and opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus,
9 三日のあひだ見えず、また飮食せざりき。
Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke.
10 さてダマスコにアナニヤといふ一人の弟子あり、幻影のうちに主いひ給ふ『アナニヤよ』答ふ『主よ、我ここに在り』
And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him sayd the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he sayd, Beholde, I am here Lord.
11 主いひ給ふ『起きて直といふ街にゆき、ユダの家にてサウロといふタルソ人を尋ねよ。視よ、彼は祈りをるなり。
Then the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise, and goe into the streete which is called Straight, and seeke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tarsus: for beholde, he prayeth.
12 又アナニアといふ人の入り來りて、再び見ゆることを得しめんために、手を己がうへに按くを見たり』
(And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)
13 アナニヤ答ふ『主よ、われ多くの人より此の人に就きて聞きしに、彼がエルサレムにて汝の聖徒に害を加へしこと如何ばかりぞや。
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem.
14 また此處にても、凡て汝の御名をよぶ者を縛る權を祭司長らより受けをるなり』
Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name.
15 主いひ給ふ『往け、この人は異邦人・王たち・イスラエルの子孫のまへに、我が名を持ちゆく我が選の器なり。
Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel.
16 我かれに我が名のために如何に多くの苦難を受くるかを示さん』
For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.
17 ここにアナニヤ往きて其の家にいり、彼の上に手をおきて言ふ『兄弟サウロよ、主すなはち汝が來る途にて現れ給ひしイエス、われを遣し給へり。なんぢが再び見ることを得、かつ聖 靈にて滿されん爲なり』
Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.
18 直ちに彼の目より鱗のごときもの落ちて見ることを得、すなはち起きてバプテスマを受け、
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,
19 かつ食事して力づきたり。サウロは數日の間ダマスコの弟子たちと偕にをり、
And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 直ちに諸 會堂にて、イエスの神の子なることを宣べたり。
And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,
21 聞く者みな驚きて言ふ『こはエルサレムにて此の名をよぶ者を害ひし人ならずや、又ここに來りしも、之を縛りて祭司長らの許に曳きゆかんが爲ならずや』
So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests?
22 サウロますます能力くははり、イエスのキリストなることを論證して、ダマスコに住むユダヤ人を言ひ伏せたり。
But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.
23 日を經ること久しくして後、ユダヤ人かれを殺さんと相 謀りたれど、
And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,
24 その計畧サウロに知らる。かくて彼らはサウロを殺さんとて、晝も夜も町の門を守りしに、
But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
25 その弟子ら夜中かれを籃にて石垣より縋り下せり。
Then the disciples tooke him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him downe by a rope in a basket.
26 ここにサウロ、エルサレムに到りて弟子たちの中に列らんとすれど、皆かれが弟子たるを信ぜずして懼れたり。
And when Saul was come to Hierusalem, he assayed to ioyne himselfe with the disciples: but they were all afrayd of him, and beleeued not that he was a disciple.
27 然るにバルナバ彼を迎へて、使徒たちの許に伴ひゆき、その途にて主を見しこと、主の之に物 言ひ給ひしこと、又ダマスコにてイエスの名のために臆せず語りし事などを具に告ぐ。
But Barnabas tooke him, and brought him to the Apostles, and declared to them, howe hee had seene the Lord in the way, and that hee had spoken vnto him, and how he had spoken boldly at Damascus in the Name of Iesus.
28 ここにサウロはエルサレムにて弟子たちと共に出入し、
And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,
29 主の御名のために臆せず語り、又ギリシヤ語のユダヤ人と、かつ語りかつ論じたれば、彼 等これを殺さんと謀りしに、
And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 兄弟たち知りて彼をカイザリヤに伴ひ下り、タルソに往かしめたり。
But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 かくてユダヤ、ガリラヤ及びサマリヤを通じて、教會は平安を得、ややに堅立し、主を畏れて歩み、聖 靈の祐助によりて人數いや増せり。
Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.
32 ペテロは徧く四方をめぐりてルダに住む聖徒の許にいたり、
And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 彼處にてアイネヤといふ人の中風を患ひて八 年のあひだ牀に臥し居るに遇ふ。
And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.
34 かくてペテロ之に『アイネヤよ、イエス・キリスト汝を醫したまふ、起きて牀を收めよ』と言ひたれば、直ちに起きたり。
Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.
35 ここにルダ及びサロンに住む者みな之を見て主に歸依せり。
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.
36 ヨツパにタビタと云ふ女の弟子あり、その名を譯すればドルカスなり。此の女は、ひたすら善き業と施濟とをなせり。
There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did.
37 彼そのころ病みて死にたれば、之を洗ひて高樓に置く。
And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.
38 ルダはヨツパに近ければ、弟子たちペテロの彼處に居るを聞きて、二人の者を遣し『ためらはで我らに來れ』と請はしむ。
Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.
39 ペテロ起ちてともに往き、遂に到れば、彼を高樓に伴れてのぼりしに、寡婦らみな之をかこみて泣きつつ、ドルカスが偕に居りしほどに製りし下衣・上衣を見せたり。
Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 ペテロ彼 等をみな外に出し、跪づきて祈りし後、ふりかへり屍體に向ひて『タビタ、起きよ』と言ひたれば、かれ目を開き、ペテロを見て起反れり。
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.
41 ペテロ手をあたへ、起して聖徒と寡婦とを呼び、タビタを活きたるままにて見す。
Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.
42 この事ヨツパ中に知られたれば、多くの人、主を信じたり。
And it was knowen throughout all Ioppa, and many beleeued in the Lord.
43 ペテロ皮工シモンの家にありて日 久しくヨツパに留れり。
And it came to passe that he taried many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a Tanner.
