使徒の働き 10
1 第二 百夫長コルネリオの改宗 カイザリアにコルネリオと呼ばるる人あり、イタリア隊と稱する軍隊の百夫長にして、
BUT in Cesarea was a certain man, a centurion, whose name was Cornelius, of the cohort which was called the Italic.
2 信心深く、家族一同と共に神を畏敬し、人民に多くの施與を行ひ、常に神に祈りつつありしが、
And he was just, and feared Aloha, he and all his house: he did much alms among the people, and in all time prayed of Aloha.
3 一日午後三時頃、幻影の中に、神の使己が許に來りて、コルネリオよ、と呼べるを明かに見しかば、
This saw an angel of Aloha in a vision manifestly about the ninth hour of the day, who came in to him, and said to him, Cornelius!
4 目を之に注ぎ恐入りて、主よ、是は何事ぞや、と云ひしに天使答へけるは、汝の祈祷と施與とは、記念として神の御前に上れり、
And he beheld him, and feared, and said, What, my Lord? And the angel said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms have ascended for a memorial before Aloha.
5 今人をヨッペに遣はして、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンと云ふ人を招け、
And now send men to Joppa the city, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha:
6 海岸に住めるシモンと云へる革工の家に宿れるなり、彼汝に其為すべき事を云はん、と。
behold, he sojourneth in the house of Shemun the tanner, which is hard by the sea.
7 己に語れる天使の去りて後、コルネリオは己が二人の僕と部下の信心深き一人の兵卒とを呼び、
And when the angel who had spoken with him had gone, he called two from the sons of his house, and a certain soldier who feared Aloha (and) who was obedient to him;
8 悉く事情を語りてヨッペに遣はせり。
and he made known to them every thing he had seen, and sent them to Joppa.
9 翌日彼等尚途中に在りけるが、町に近づける時、晝の十二時頃ペトロ祈らんとて平屋根に上れり。
AND the day after while they went on the way, and drew nigh to the city, Shemun ascended to the roof to pray, at the sixth hour.
10 然るに飢ゑて物欲しかりければ、人の支度するうち、氣を奪はるる如くになり、
And he hungered, and desired to eat: and while they were preparing for him, there fell upon him an entrancement,
11 天開けて大いなる布の如き器降り、四隅を吊されて、天より地に下さるるを見たり。
and he saw the heavens opened, and a certain vessel bound at the four corners, and like to a great sheet, and it was let down from heaven upon the earth:
12 其中には地上の有ゆる四足のもの、匍ふもの、及び空の鳥あり。
and in it were all animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
13 又聲ありて、ペトロ起きよ、屠りて食せよ、と云ひしかば、
And a voice came to him, which said, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
14 ペトロ、主よ、然らじ、我曾て穢れたるもの或は潔からぬものを食せしこと無し、と云ひけるに、
And Shemun said, Not so, my Lord: for never have I eaten any thing that is profane and unclean.
15 又再び聲ありて、神の潔め給ひしものを、汝潔からずと云ふこと勿れ、と云へり。
And again the second time was to him, Those (things) which Aloha cleanseth make not thou profane.
16 斯の如き事三度にして、器物は忽ち天に取上げられたり。
This was three times done: and the vessel was elevated to heaven.
17 ペトロ心の中に、其見し幻影を如何なる意ぞと當惑せる折しも、コルネリオより遣はされたる人々、シモンの家を尋ねて門前に立止り、
And while Shemun wondered in himself for what (was) the vision he had seen, those men came who had been sent by Cornelius, and inquired for the house where Shemun sojourned, and they came and stood at the gate of the court.
18 音づれて、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンは此處に宿れりや、と問ひ居たり。
And they called there, and inquired, whether Shemun who was called Kipha there sojourned.
19 ペトロは幻影に就きて打案じ居けるを、聖霊之に曰はく、看よ、三人の男汝を尋ぬ、
And while Shemun thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee:
20 起ちて下り、躊躇する事なく彼等と共に往け、彼等は我が遣はしたる者なれば、と。
arise, descend and go with them, not being divided in thy mind: for I have sent them.
21 ペトロ人々の處に下りて云ひけるは、看よ汝等の尋ぬるは我なり、如何なる故ありて來れるぞ、と。
Then Shemun descended to those men, and said to them, I am he whom you seek: what is the occasion on which you have come?
22 彼等云ひけるは、百夫長コルネリオは、神を畏敬してユデア人一般に好評ある義人なるが、聖なる天使より、汝を其家に招きて汝の言を聴けとの告を受けたり、と。
They said to him, A certain man whose name is Cornelius, a centurion, who feareth Aloha, and of whom all the people of the Jihudoyee give witness, hath been told in a vision by an holy angel to send and bring thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 是に於てペトロ、彼等を請じて宿らしめ、翌日諸共に出立しけるが、ヨッペより數人の兄弟之に伴へり。
And Shemun brought them in, and received them while they tarried; and he arose the day after, and went forth, and proceeded with them; and certain of the brethren of Joppa went with them.
24 次日カイザリアに入りしに、コルネリオは既に親族及び親しき朋友を呼集めて、彼等を待受けたり。
And the next day they entered Cesarea: but Cornelius was waiting for them, while all the sons of his family, and the friends and beloved ones whom he had, were assembled with him.
25 ペトロの入來るや、コルネリオ出迎へて其足下に伏し禮拝せしかば、
AND when Shemun entered Cornelius met him, and fell and worshipped at his feet.
26 ペトロ之を起して云ひけるは、立て、我も人なり、と。
And Shemun raised him, and said to him, Arise, I also am a man.
27 斯て相語りつつ内に入り、多くの人の集れるを見て、
And while speaking with him he entered, and found many who had come thither.
28 此人々に謂ひけるは、ユデア人にして異邦人に連り或は近づく事の掟に適はざるは、汝等の知る所なり。然れど何人をも、穢れたるもの潔からぬものと言ふべからざる事を、神我に示し給へり。
And he said to them, You know that it is not lawful for a man a Jihudoya to attach to a foreign man who is not a son of his tribe. But me hath Aloha showed that I should not declare any man unclean or profane.
29 故に我招かれて躊躇する事なく來りしが、汝等に問はん、我を招きし所以は何ぞ、と。
Wherefore I the more diligently came when you sent for me. But I ask you, on what account you have sent for me?
30 コルネリオ云ひけるは、四日以前の午後三時、我家に在りて祈れるに、折しも輝ける衣服を着けたる一人の男子、我前に立ちて云ひけるは、
And Cornelius said to him, Four days are unto this from when, behold, I am fasting; and at nine hours, while praying in my house, a certain man stood before me clothed in white.
31 コルネリオよ、汝の祈りは聴容れられ、汝の施與は神の御前に記念せられたり。
And he said to me, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms have made memorial before Aloha.
32 故に人をヨッペに遣はし、ペトロとも呼ばるるシモンを迎えよ、彼は海岸なる革工シモンの家に宿れり、と。
But send to Joppa the city, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha; behold, he abideth in the house of Shemun a tanner, which is by the sea;
33 是に由りて直に人を汝に遣はししが、宜くこそ來たまひつれ。然れば今我等皆神の御前に在りて、主より汝に命ぜられたる事を悉く承らんとす、と。
and he will come and speak with thee. And immediately I sent to thee, and thou hast well done to have come. And, behold, we are all before thee, and desire to hear every thing that hath been commanded thee by Aloha.
34 其時ペトロ口を開きて云ひけるは、神は偏り給はず、
BUT Shemun opened his mouth, and said, In truth I comprehend that Aloha is no respecter of persons:
35 何れの國民にもあれ、之を畏敬して義を行ふ人は御意に適へる事、我眞に之を認む。
but in all nations whoever feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted of him.
36 神は御言をイスラエルの子等に送り、イエズス、キリストを以て平安を告げ給ひしが、之ぞ萬民の主に在すなる。
For (this is) the word which he hath sent to the sons of Israel, and hath announced to them peace and repose through Jeshu Meshiha, -this is the Lord of all.
37 汝等ユデア一般に成りし事を知れるならん、是即ちヨハネの宣傳へし洗禮の後、ガリレアより始りし事にして、
And you also know by the word which hath been in all Jihud (which began) from Galila after the baptism which Juhanon preached,
38 神はナザレトより出でたるイエズスに、聖霊と能力とを以て注油し給ひしなり。彼は慈善を行ひ、且凡て惡魔に壓へられたる人を醫しつつ世を過し給へり、是神彼と共に在したればなり。
concerning Jeshu who was of Natsrath, whom Aloha anointed with the Spirit of Holiness and with power: he who went about and healed those who were worn out with evil, because Aloha was with him.
39 我等は、其ユデア人の地及びエルザレムに於て為し給し一切の事の證人なるがユデア人は之を木に磔けて殺したれども、
And we are his witnesses of all which he did in the land of Jihud and of Urishlem. This (one) himself did the Jihudoyee hang upon the tree and kill;
40 神は三日目に之を復活せしめ且現れしめ給へり。
and him did Aloha raise up on the third day, and gave him to be seen openly;
41 但其は人民一般にはあらで、神より預定せられし證人、即ち死者の中より復活し給ひたる後、彼と共に飲食したる我等に現れしめ給ひしなり。
yet not to all the people, but to us who by Aloha were chosen to be unto him the witnesses, who ate with him and drank after his resurrection from among the dead.
42 且我が神より立てられて、生者と死者との審判者たる事を人民に教へ且證明すべしと、イエズス自ら我等に命じ給ひしなり。
And he commanded us to preach and to testify to the people that this is he who hath been separated by Aloha (to be) the Judge of the living and of the dead.
43 総て之を信ずる人の、其御名によりて罪の赦を受くる事は、預言者の皆證明したる所なり、と。
And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name shall receive remission of sins.
44 ペトロ尚是等の言を語りつつあるに、聖霊言を聴ける人々一同の上に降り給ひ、
And while Shemun spake these words the Spirit of Holiness overspread all who heard the word.
45 ペトロに伴ひ來れる割禮ある信徒は、聖霊の恩寵が異邦人にも注がれたるに惘果てたり。
And the circumcised brethren who had come with him were astonished and amazed, because upon the Gentiles also the gift of the Spirit of Holiness was poured out.
46 其は彼等の異なる語を語りて神を崇め奉るを聞けばなり。
For they heard them speaking with tongues; and they magnified Aloha. And Shemun said,
47 是に於てペトロ答へけるは、此人々は既に我等の如く聖霊を蒙りたれば、誰か水を禁じて其洗せらるるを拒み得んや、と。
Can any one forbid waters that they should not be baptized, they who, behold, have received the Spirit of Holiness as well as we?
48 斯て彼等がイエズス、キリストの御名によりて洗せられん事を命ぜしかば、彼等はペトロが數日此家に留らん事を請へり。
Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. And they prayed of him to remain with them (certain) days.
