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 threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high 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 of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
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、
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
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 he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto 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 said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the 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』
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
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。
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, 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 earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led 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。
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
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 certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, 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。
And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, 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 hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive 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 have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
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』
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind 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。
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear 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 shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s 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』
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive 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 been scales: and he received sight forthwith, 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 when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days 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 he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son 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』
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief 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 increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very 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 days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel 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 await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to 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 took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall 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 Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed 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 took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
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 he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
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 he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, 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。
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, 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 throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
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 pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down 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 certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
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。
And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. 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 saw 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。
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds 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 pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid [ her] in an upper 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。
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to 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 went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats 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 down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
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。
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
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 known throughout all Joppa; and many believed 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 pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
