使徒の働き 11
1 第三 エルザレムの信徒ペトロの處置を非難し後之を賞賛す 異邦人も神の御言を請容れし事、使徒等及びユデアに在る兄弟等に聞えしかば、
And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.
2 ペトロがエルザレムに上るや、割禮ある人々之を詰りて、
AND when Shemun had gone up to Urishlem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 言ひけるは、汝何ぞ無割禮の人の中に入りて共に食せしや、と。
saying, that unto men uncircumcised he had entered, and had eaten with them.
4 ペトロ事の次第を説出して云ひけるは、
And Shemun put forth in order to say to them,
5 我ヨッペの町に在りて祈り居りしに、氣を奪はるる如くにして幻影に遇ひしが、大いなる布の如き器物の四隅を吊されつつ天より降りて我許に來るを見、
That while praying in Joppa I saw a vision; a certain vessel descended which was like to a sheet, and bound at the four corners: and it came down from heaven and came unto me.
6 熟其中を眺むるに、地上の四足のもの、野獣、爬蟲、及び空の鳥あるを見たり。
And gazing at it I beheld in it animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
7 又、ペトロ起きよ、屠りて食せよ、と我に謂へる聲をも聞きたれば、
And I heard a voice which said to me, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
8 我、主よ、然らじ、穢れたるもの潔からぬものは曾て我口に入りし事なし、と言ひしに、
And I said, Not so, my Lord; for nothing hath entered my mouth that is unclean or profane.
9 再び天より聲ありて、神の潔め給ひしものを汝潔からずと言ふこと勿れ、と答へ、
And again the voice said to me from heaven, What Aloha hath cleansed make not thou to be polluted.
10 三度まで斯の如くなりしが、終に其物皆また天に引上げられたり。
This was done three times, and every thing was taken up into heaven.
11 折しもカイザリアより、我許に遣はされたる者三人、我が居る家に立止りしかば、
And at that moment three men, who had been sent to me by Cornelius from Cesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I was sojourning.
12 躊躇する事なく彼等と共に往け、と[聖]霊我に曰へり。斯て此六人の兄弟も我に伴ひ來り、一行彼人の家に入りたるに、
And the Spirit said to me, Go with them without doubting. And there went also with me these six brethren, and we entered into the man's house.
13 彼、天使の己が家に立ちて、己に次の如く言ふを見し次第を語れり。即ち、人をヨッペに遣はして、ペトロと呼ばるるシモンを招け、
And he related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,
14 彼は汝及び汝が一家の救かるべき御言を汝に語らん、と。
and he will speak with thee words by which thou wilt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 然るに我が語出るや、最初我等の上に降り給ひし如く、聖霊彼等の上に降り給ひたれば、
And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from the beginning.
16 我主が曾て、ヨハネは水にて洗したるに汝等は聖霊にて洗せられん、と曰ひし御言を思出せり。
And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.
17 即ち神既にイエズス、キリストを信仰せる我等と同様なる恩寵を彼等にも賜ひしを、我抑誰なれば、神に禁ずる事を得べかりしぞ、と。
If then Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?
18 人々是等の事を聞きて黙然たりしが、又神に光榮を歸し奉りて云ひけるは、然れば神は、生命を得させん為に、異邦人にも改心を賜ひしなり、と。
And when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given repentance unto life.
19 第四 アンチオキアの教會開始 抑ステファノの時起りし迫害の為に離散したりし人々は、フェニケア[州]、クプロ[島]、及びアンチオキア[市]まで廻行きしも、ユデア人の外誰にも御言を語らざりしが、
BUT they who had been dispersed by the tribulation that was concerning Estephanos went unto Punika, also to the region of Kypros and to Antiokia, but with any one not speaking the word unless only with the Jihudoyee.
20 彼等の中にクプロ及びクレネの人々ありて、アンチオキアに入りしかば、ギリシア人にも語りて、主イエズスの事を告げ、
But of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.
21 主の御手彼等と共に在りければ、數多の人信じて主に歸依せり。
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and were converted unto the Lord.
22 是等の沙汰エルザレムなる教會の耳に入りしかば、バルナバを遣はしてアンチオキアまで至らしめしに、
And this was heard by the ears of the sons of the church which was at Urishlem, and they sent Bar Naba to Antiokia.
23 彼至りて神の恩寵を見て喜び、決心して主に止らん事を一同に勧め居たり。
And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our Lord.
24 蓋彼は善人にして聖霊と信仰とに充てる人なりければ、夥しき群集主に属けり。
For he was a good man, and full of the Spirit of Holiness and of faith, and there was added much people to our Lord.
25 然てバルナバ、サウロを尋ねんとてタルソに至り、之に遇ひてアンチオキアに伴ひ行き、
And he went forth to Tarsos to seek for Shaol;
26 兩人彼處の教會に満一年を過して、夥しき群集を教へたり。斯て弟子等はアンチオキアに於て、始て基督信徒と呼ばるるに至れり。
and when he had found him he brought him with him to Antiokia. And a whole year together they assembled in the church, and taught much people: from thence first in Antiokia the disciples were called Christianee.
27 其時或預言者等、エルザレムよりアンチオキアに至りしが、
And in those days there came from Urishlem thither prophets.
28 彼等の中より一人のアガポと云へる者起ちて、大飢饉の全世界に起るべき事を、聖霊によりて告げ居たりけるに、果してクロウヂオ[皇帝]の時代に起りしかば、
And one of them arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.
29 弟子等各力に應じてユデアに住める兄弟に補助を贈らん事を定め、
Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;
30 遂に之を遂げて、バルナバとサウロとの手に托して長老等に贈れり。
and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.
