< 使徒の働き 15 >
1 第二項 エルザレムの教議會 斯て或人々、ユデアより下りて兄弟等に向ひ、汝等モイゼの慣例に從ひて割禮を受くるに非ずば救霊を得ず、と教へければ、
Then cam certayne from Iewrie and taught the brethren: excepte ye be circumcysed after the maner of Moses ye cannot be saved.
2 パウロとバルナバと、彼等に對して一方ならぬ諍論を為ししが、信徒はパウロ、バルナバ、及び反對側の數人をエルザレムに上せ、此問題に就き使徒等及び長老等に伺はん事に定めたり。
And when ther was rysen dissencion and disputinge not a litle vnto Paul and Barnabas agaynst them. They determined that Paul and Barnabas and certayne other of them shuld ascende to Ierusalem vnto the Apostles and elders aboute this question.
3 然れば彼等教會に見送られて、フェニケア及びサマリアを経、異邦人感化の事情を具に語りて、兄弟一同に大いなる喜を起させたり。
And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion they passed over Phenices and Samaria declarynge the conuersion of the getyls and they brought great ioye vnto all ye brethren.
4 一行エルザレムに至りて、教會と使徒等と長老等とに迎へられ、神の己等と共に為し給ひし事の次第を告げしが、
And when they were come to Ierusalem they were receaved of the congregacion and of the Apostles and elders. And they declared what thinges God had done by them.
5 ファリザイ派の中なる數人の信者起ちて、異邦人は割禮を受けざるべからず、又命じてモイゼの律法を守らしむべし、と云ひければ、
Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and dyd beleve sayinge that it was nedfull to circucise them and to enioyne the to kepe ye lawe of Moses.
And ye Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter.
7 激しき諍論の後、ペトロ立ちて彼等に謂ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、久しき以前に、神我等の中より選みて、我口を以て異邦人に福音の言を聞かせ、之を信ぜしめ給ひし事は、汝等の知る所なり。
And when ther was moche disputinge Peter rose vp and sayde vnto them: Ye men and brethren ye knowe how that a good whyle agoo God chose amoge vs that the getyls by my mouth shuld heare the worde of the gospell and beleve.
8 且人の心を知り給ふ神は、汝等に賜ひし如く、彼等にも聖霊を賜ひて證明し給ひ、
And God which knoweth the herte bare them witnes and gave vnto them the holy goost eve as he dyd vnto vs
9 信仰によりて彼等の心を潔め、我等と彼等とを聊も隔て給ひしことなし。
and he put no difference bitwene them and vs but with fayth purified their hertes.
10 然るを何為れぞ、汝等神を試みて、我等の先祖も我等も負ふ能はざりし軛を、今弟子等の頚に負はせんとはする。
Now therfore why tempte ye God that ye wolde put a yoke on the disciples neckes which nether oure fathers nor we were able to beare.
11 我等の救はるるは主イエズス、キリストの恩寵によれりとは、我等の信ずる所にして、彼等も亦然るなり、と。
But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we shalbe saved as they doo.
12 會衆皆沈黙して、パウロとバルナバとが、異邦人の中に己等を以て神の行ひ給ひし凡ての徴と奇蹟とを語るを聴きたりしが、
Then all the multitude was peased and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul which tolde what signes and wondres God had shewed amonge the gentyls by them.
13 彼等が沈黙を保ちたる後、ヤコボ答へて云ひけるは、兄弟たる人々よ、我に聞け、
And when they helde their peace Iames answered sayinge: Men and brethren herken vnto me.
14 シモン既に神始めて異邦人を顧み、其中より己が名を尊ぶ民を取り給ひし次第を述べしが、
Simeon tolde how God at the begynnynge dyd visit the gentyls and receaved of them people vnto his name.
And to this agreith ye wordes of ye Prophetes as it is written.
16 「此後我返りて、倒れたるダヴィドの幕屋を再興し、其崩れたる所を繕ひ、且之を建てん、
After this I will returne and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune and that which is fallen in dekey of it will I bilde agayne and I will set it vp
17 是は他の人々及び、為に我名を呼ばれたる萬國の異邦人が主を求め得ん為なり、之を為し給ふ所の主之を曰ふ」、とあるが如し。
that the residue of men might seke after the Lorde and also the gentyls vpo whom my name is named saith ye Lorde which doth all these thinges:
18 主は世の始めより己が業を知り給ふ、 (aiōn )
knowne vnto God are all his workes from the begynninge of the worlde. (aiōn )
19 之によりて我思ふに、異邦人より神に歸依する人々を煩はすべからず、
Wherfore my sentece is yt we trouble not them which fro amonge the gentyls are turned to God:
20 唯書を贈りて、偶像に捧げられし物と、私通と、絞殺されし獣の肉と血とを戒むべし、
but yt we write vnto them yt they abstayne them selves fro filthynes of ymages fro fornicacio from straglyd and fro bloude.
21 蓋モイゼの書は、安息日毎に會堂に於て読まれ、之を述ぶる人昔より何れの市町にも在ればなり、と。
For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye.
22 是に於て使徒等、長老等、及び教會一同に、其中より人を選みて、パウロ、バルナバと共にアンチオキアに遣はすを可しとせり、其人々はバルサバとも呼ばるるユダ、及びシラにして、兄弟中の重立ちたる者なりき。
Then pleased it the Apostles and elders wt the whole congregacio to sende chosyn men of their owne copany to Antioche with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Iudas called also Barsabas and Silas which were chefe men amonge the brethre
23 彼等の手に托せられし書翰の文に曰く、「使徒等及び兄弟たる長老等、アンチオキアとシリアとシリシアとに在る異邦人たりし兄弟等に挨拶す。
and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.
24 我等の聞く所に據れば、或人々、我等が命じたる事もなきに、我等の中より出行きて汝等の魂を覆し、言を以て汝等を擾したる由なれば、
For as moche as we have hearde yt certayne which departed fro vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche comaundemet.
It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul
26 我主イエズス、キリストの御名の為に生命を惜まざりし人、我等が至愛なるバルナバ及びパウロと共に、汝等に遣はさん事を宜しとせり。
men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.
27 然ればユダとシラとを遣はしたるが、彼等口づから是等の事を汝等に告げん。
We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas which shall also tell you the same thinges by mouth.
28 蓋聖霊と我等とは、左の必要なる事の外、汝等に何等の荷をも負はしめざるを宜しとせり。
For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges:
29 即ち汝等が偶像に捧げられし物と、血と絞殺されしものと、私通とを絶つべき事是なり。是等の事を慎まば、其にて宜しかるべし、汝等健康なれ、」と。
that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well.
30 然て彼等暇乞してアンチオキアに下り、信徒を集めて書翰を渡ししが、
When they were departed they came to Antioche and gaddred the multitude togeder and delyvered ye pistle.
When they had redde it they reioysed of that consolacion.
32 ユダとシラとは其身も預言者なれば、多くの談話を以て兄弟を勧め且堅めたりしが、
And Iudas and Sylas beinge prophetes exhorted the brethren with moche preachynge and strengthed them.
33 暫く此處に留りて後、己を遣はしし者の許に歸らんとて、兄弟等に無事を祝されて暇を乞ひ得たり。
And after they had taryed there a space they were let goo in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
34 然れどシラは此處に留るを宜しとせしかば、ユダ一人エルザレムに歸り、
Not with stondynge it pleasyd Sylas to abyde there still.
35 パウロとバルナバとはアンチオキアに留り、他の數人と共に主の御言を教へ、福音を宣べつつありき。
Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche teachynge and preachynge the worde of the Lorde with other many.
36 第三項 聖パウロ第二回の傳道旅行 然て數日の後、パウロはバルナバに向ひ、将我等後戻して、曩に主の御言を宣傳へし凡ての市町を巡廻し、其安否を問はん、と云ひしが、
But after a certayne space Paul sayde vnto Barnabas: Let vs goo agayne and visite oure brethren in every cite where we have shewed the worde of the Lorde and se how they do.
37 バルナバはマルコとも呼ばるるヨハネを携へんと思へるに、
And Barnabas gave counsell to take wt them Iohn called also Marke.
38 パウロは、彼は曾てパンフィリアにて己等を離れ、共に働かざりし者なれば、之を承容るべからず、と考へ居たりしかば、
But Paul thought it not mete to take him vnto their company whiche departed from them at Pamphylia and went not with them to the worke.
39 遂に衝突して相別るるに至れり。さればバルナバはマルコを携へてクプロ[島]へ出帆せしが、
And the dissencion was so sharpe bitwene them that they departed a sunder one from the other: so that Barnabas toke Marke and sayled vnto Cypers.
40 パウロはシラを選みて、兄弟等より神の恩寵に委ねられて出立し、
