使徒の働き 21
1 我等は漸く彼等に別れて船に乗り、コス[島]に直航して翌日ロデ[島]に至り、其よりパタラ[市]に往きしが、
So after disengaging ourselves from them we were able to set sail, and running a straight course we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 フェニケアへ渡海する船に遇ひたれば、之に乗りて出帆し、
We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
3 クプロ[島]沖に至り、之を左に見てシリアに渡り、チロに至れり。其は其處にて船荷を卸すべければなり。
When we had sighted Cyprus we passed it on the left, sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, because it was there that the ship was to unload the cargo.
4 然て弟子等を尋出して、其處に留る事七日なりしが、彼等は[聖]霊によりて、パウロにエルザレムへ上ること勿れ、と謂ひ居たり。
Upon finding disciples we stayed there seven days; these, through the Spirit, told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
5 七日の後出發して往きけるに、彼等皆妻子と共に市外まで送りしかば、我等は海岸に跪きて祈り、
But when our time was up, as we left to go on our way, they all, including women and children, accompanied us out of the city, and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 互に別を告げて、我等は船に乗り彼等は家に歸れり。
After we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship and they returned to their homes.
7 斯て我等チロより海を渡り終てて、プトレマイスに上陸し、兄弟等に挨拶して彼等の許に留る事一日、
Now upon arriving in Ptolemais, the voyage from Tyre ended; so greeting the brothers we stayed with them one day.
8 翌日出立してカイザリアに至り、彼七人の一人なるフィリッポ福音師の家に入りて其許に留りしが、
Leaving the next day, we came to Caesarea; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist (being of ‘the Seven’), we stayed with him.
9 是に童貞なる四人の女ありて、皆預言しつつありき。
(This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.)
10 我等が數日此處に止れる間に、アガポと云へる一人の預言者ユデアより來り、
Now as we stayed there a number of days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 我等に近づきてパウロの帯を取り、己が手足を縛りて云ひけるは、聖霊曰はく、エルザレムに於て斯の如く、ユデア人此帯の主をば縛りて異邦人に付さん、と。
Joining us he took Paul's belt, bound his feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘In this way, in Jerusalem, the Jews will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 之を聞きて、我等も土地の人々も、エルザレムに上ること勿れと願ひ居たれど、
Well, when we heard these things, both we and the local residents, we pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 パウロ答へて云ひけるは、汝等何為ぞ泣きて我心を憂ひしむる、我は主イエズスの御名の為には、エルザレムに於て縛らるる耳ならず、死ぬる覚悟をさえ為せるなり、と。
But Paul answered: “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 我等は終に説得ずして、主の御旨の儘に成れかし、と云ひて止みたり。
When he would not be dissuaded, we stopped, saying, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
15 數日の後、我等は旅支度してエルザレムに上る時、
So after those days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
16 カイザリアよりの弟子數人、來りて我等に伴ひ、ムナソンと云へるクプロ生れの古き弟子の許に宿らせんとて、其家に伴ひ行けり。
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to a certain Mnason, of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 第五項 エルザレムに於るパウロ就縛 エルザレムに至りしかば、兄弟等は我等を歓迎せり。
And when we arrived in Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly.
18 翌日パウロ我等と共にヤコボの家に入りしに、長老等皆集りしかば、
The next day Paul, with us, went to see James, and all the elders were present.
19 パウロ彼等に接吻して、己が聖役に由りて異邦人の中に神の為し給ひし事を具に語りけるに、
After greeting them he reported one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 彼等聞きて神を賞賛し、且パウロに謂ひけるは、兄弟よ、汝の見る如く、ユデア人の中信じたる者幾萬に及びて、皆律法の熱心家なるが、
But after listening they ‘glorified’ the Lord by saying to him: “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands are the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;
21 彼等は、汝が異邦人中のユデア人に向ひ、面々の男子等に割禮を授くるに及ばず、慣例に從ふに及ばず、と云ひてモイゼに遠ざかる事を教ふるを聞けり。
but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to our customs.
22 然て如何にかすべき、彼等は汝が來れる事を聞くべければ、必ず夥しく來集るならん。
What then? The assembly will certainly gather, since they will hear that you have come.
23 然れば我等が汝に告ぐる所を為せ、我等に誓願を有せる人四人あり、
So do this that we say to you: There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
24 汝彼等を引取りて共に身を潔め、且費用を弁じて其頭を剃り得させよ、然せば人皆、汝に就きて聞きし所の僞にして、汝自ら律法を守りつつ歩める事を知るべし、
Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that there is nothing to the things that they have been informed about you; rather that you yourself are in line, keeping the law.
25 異邦人にして信じたる人々に関しては、我等議定して、唯、偶像に献げられし物と血と絞殺されしものと私通とを避くべし、と書贈れり、と。
But concerning the Gentiles who believe we have written, having judged that they need observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from that offered to idols, from the blood, from anything strangled, and from fornication.”
26 斯てパウロ彼人々を引取り、翌日身を潔めて共に[神]殿に入り、面々の為に供物を為さんとて、潔の期日を定めたり。
Then Paul took the men and purified himself with them; the next day he entered the temple to give notice of the completion of the days of purification, when the offering would be made for each one of them.
27 七日の終らんとする時、[小]アジアよりのユデア人、パウロを[神]殿の内に見しかば、人民を煽動し、彼に手を懸けて叫びけるは、
Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, mobilized a whole crowd and seized him,
28 助けよ、イスラエルの男子等、是至る處に人民と律法と此所とに反する事を人々に教へ、而も異邦人を[神]殿に入らしめて、此聖所を穢せる者なり、と。
shouting: “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Not only that, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place!”
29 蓋彼等はエフェゾ人なるトロフィモが彼と共に市中に在るを見て、パウロ之を[神]殿に入れたりと思ひしなり。
(They had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
30 是に於て市中挙りて立騒ぎ、人民馳集りてパウロを捕へ、[神]殿の外に引出ししが、門は直に鎖されたり。
The whole city was aroused and a mob of people formed. So having seized Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
31 然て人々パウロを殺さんと謀りければ、軍隊の千夫長の許に、エルザレム全く亂れたりとの報告あり、
As they were trying to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 千夫長直に、兵卒及び百夫長らを率ゐて人民の所に馳來りしかば、人々千夫長と兵卒とを見て、パウロを打つ事を罷めたり。
He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down among them, and when they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 千夫長近づきて之を捕へ、命じて二の鎖にて繋がせ、是は誰なるぞ、何を為ししぞ、と尋ぬるに、
Then the commander came up and took hold of him, commanded that he be bound with two chains, and started inquiring who he was and what he had done.
34 群衆の中より口々に彼是と叫び、騒がしさに事實を確むる事能はざれば、命じてパウロを兵営の内に牽入れしめしが、
Well some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another; so when he could not ascertain the truth, because of the uproar, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.
35 階段に至り、パウロ人民の[押合ふ]勢の為、兵卒に舁上げらるるに及べり、
When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob.
36 其は彼を殺せと叫びつつ、人民夥しく後を慕へばなり。
Because the crowd kept following and shouting, “Away with him!”
37 パウロ牽かれて兵営に入らんとする時、千夫長に向ひ、我汝に語りて可きか、と云ひしかば彼云ひけるは、汝ギリシア語を知れりや、
As Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, “May I speak to you?” So he said: “Do you know Greek?
38 過日騒動を起して四千人の刺客を野に引出ししエジプト人は汝に非ずや、と。
Aren't you the Egyptian who some time ago started a revolt and led the four thousand men of ‘the Assassins’ out into the wilderness?”
39 パウロ之に謂ひけるは、我實はシリシア[州]のタルソ生れなるユデア人にして、隠れなき町の公民なり、乞ふ人民に言ふ事を許せ、と。
But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a not insignificant city; but I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 彼許ししかば、パウロ階段に立ちて人民に手眞似したるに、皆沈黙したりければ、ヘブレオ語にて語りけるは。
So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people with his hand. When there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
