使徒の働き 1
1 第一款 キリスト傳と聖會史との間の事柄 テオフィロよ、我前に第一の書を作りて、総てイエズスの初より行ひ且教へ給ひしことを述べ、
Truly, I made the first history, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 其選み給ひし使徒等に聖霊に由りて命じ置き、然て天に上げられ給ひし日までに及びたりしが、
from the day on which, having given commandment through the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom He had chosen, He was received up.
3 イエズス御受難の後、多くの徴を以て、彼等に己の活きたる事を證明し、四十日の間彼等に現れ、神の國に関して談り給へり。
To whom He also, after He suffered, manifested Himself alive in many testimonials, being seen by them forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
4 第一 キリストの御昇天 又共に食しつつ彼等に、エルザレムを離れずして父の約束を待つべしと命じ、然て曰ひけるは、「汝等我口づから其約束を聞けり、
and being assembled together with them, He commanded them, Not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which ye heard from me;
5 蓋ヨハネは水にて洗したれども、汝等は日久しからずして聖霊にて洗せらるべきなり、と。
that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 然れば集りたる人々問ひて、主よ、イスラエルの國を回復し給ふは此頃なるか、と云ひければ、
Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 イエズス曰ひけるは、父が其権能によりて定め給ひし時刻は、汝等の知るべきに非ず、
He said to them; It is not your province, to know the times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority.
8 但汝等に臨み給ふ聖霊の能力を受けて、汝等はエルザレム、ユデア全國、サマリア、地の極に至る迄も我が證人とならん、と。
But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost having come upon you, and shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the extremity of the earth.
9 斯く曰ひ終てて彼等の見る中に上げられ給ひしが、一叢の雲之を受けて見えざらしめたり。
And having spoken these words, they looking, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes.
10 彼等が猶天に昇往き給ふを眺め居たる程に、白衣の人二人忽ち彼等の傍に立ちて言ひけるは、
And while they were gazing up into the heaven, He going, and behold, two men stood by them in white garments, who also said,
11 ガリレア人よ、何ぞ天を仰ぎつつ立てるや、汝等を離れて天に上げられ給ひし此イエズスは、汝等が其天に往き給ふを見たる如く、復斯の如くにして來り給ふべし、と。
Ye Galilean men, why stand you looking up into the heaven? this same Jesus, the One having been received up into the heaven, will so come in the manner in which you saw Him going up into the heaven.
12 第二 使徒等ユダの後任者を選む 然て使徒等、橄欖山と云へる山よりエルザレムに還りしが、此山はエルザレムに近く、安息日にも行かるべき道程なり。
Then they returned into Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, being a journey of a Sabbath day.
13 然て入りてペトロとヨハネ、ヤコボとアンデレア、フィリッポとトマ、バルトロメオとマテオ、アルフェオの子ヤコボとゼロテなるシモンと、ヤコボの兄弟ユダとの宿れる高間に登りしが、
And when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James, were abiding.
14 彼等皆婦人等及びイエズスの母マリア、及びイエズスの兄弟等と共に、心を同じうして耐忍びつつ祈祷に從事し居たり。
They were all persevering of one accord in prayer along with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 其頃、共に集れる人約百廿名なりしが、ペトロ兄弟の中に立ちて云ひけるは、
And during those days, Peter standing up in the midst of the brethren, said (and the number of names were about one hundred and twenty),
16 兄弟の人々よ、イエズスを捕へし者等の案内者となりしユダに就きて、聖霊がダヴィドの口を以て預言し給ひたる聖書は、成就せざるべからず。
Men, brethren, it behooved the scripture which the Holy Ghost predicted through the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one becoming leader to those arresting Jesus, to be fulfilled;
17 彼は我等の員に入りて此聖役に與りたれども、
because he was numbered among us and received the lot of this ministry.
18 不義の價を以て畑を求め、（吊されて）俯伏に倒れ、其身眞中より裂けて腸悉く迸り出でたり。
Then indeed he purchased a field by the reward of iniquity, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels burst out;
19 此事エルザレムの住民に知れ渡りて、此畑は彼等の方言にてハケルダマ、即ち血の畑と呼ばれたり。
which indeed was known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so that field, in their own dialect, is called Acheldamach; that is, field of blood.
20 蓋詩の書に録して、「彼の檻は荒れて、之に住む人なかるべし」、又「他人其務を受くべし」、とあれば、
For it has been written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no one dwelling in it, and let another take his pastorate.
21 我等と共に集れる此人々の中より、総て主イエズス、キリストが我等の中に出入し給ひし間、
Therefore the men having come together with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in unto us and went out,
22 即ちヨハネの洗禮より始め、我等を離れて上げられ給ひし日に至るまで、一所に在りし者の一人、我等と共に其復活の證人とならざるべからず、と。
beginning from the baptism of John, until the day on which He was taken up from us, it behooveth one of these to be witness of His resurrection along with us.
23 是に於て彼等、バルサバと呼ばれ、義人と綽名されたるヨゼフと、マチアとの二人を挙げ、
And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias.
24 祈りて云ひけるは、総ての人の心を知り給へる主よ、ユダの己が處に往かんとて退きし此務と使徒職とを引受くべく、
And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen
25 此二人の何れを選み給へるかを知らしめ給へ、と。
to receive the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas departed to go into his own place.
26 斯て彼等に鬮を與へしに、鬮はマチアに當りしかば、彼十一人の使徒に加へられたり。
And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
