使徒の働き 3
1 第一 ペトロ生來の跛者を全癒せしむ 午後三時の祈祷に、ペトロとヨハネと[神]殿に上れるに、
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
2 爰に生れながら跛へたる一人の男、[神]殿に入る人々に施を乞はんとて、毎日美門と云へる[神]殿の門に舁据ゑられてありしが、
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 ペトロとヨハネとの[神]殿に入らんとするを見て施を乞ひければ、
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 ペトロ、ヨハネと共に之を眺めて、我等を看よ、と云ひけるに、
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 彼何物をか貰はん心構にて彼等を熟視め居たりしかば、
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.
6 ペトロ云ひけるは、我に金銀なし、然れど我が有てる物をば汝に與へん、ナザレトのイエズス、キリストの御名によりて立ちて歩め、と。
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 乃ち其右の手を取りて之を起したるに、其脛及び蹠直に力づきて、
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 踊立ちて歩みしが、且歩み、且踊り、且神を賛美しつつ彼等と共に[神]殿に入れり。
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 人民皆彼が神を賛美しつつ歩めるを見しが、
All the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 其の曾て[神]殿の美門に坐して施を乞ひ居たりし者なるを知れば、之が上に成りし事に驚入りて、感嘆に堪へざりき。
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 斯て彼ペトロとヨハネとの手を握り居たれば、人民皆驚きつつ、サロモン廊と呼ばれたる殿廊を指して彼等の許に馳集へり。
While he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
12 第二 ペトロ神殿にて談話す ペトロ之を見て人民に答へけるは、イスラエル人よ、何ぞ此事を驚くや、又何ぞ恰も我々の徳若くは力によりて此人を歩ませしが如くに我等を眺むるや。
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to walk?
13 アブラハムの神、イザアクの神、ヤコブの神、我等の先祖の神が、其御子イエズスに光榮を歸し給ひしなり、是即ち汝等が付して、ピラトの之を赦すべしと判定せるを、其面前に否みし者なり。
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 汝等聖なるもの義なるものを否みて、殺人者を赦されん事を求め、
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
15 却て生命の造主を殺ししに、神は之を死者の中より復活せしめ給へり、我等は其證人なり。
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
16 彼の御名に於る信仰によりて、其御名は汝等の見且知れる此人を力づかしめたり。イエズスに由れる信仰こそ、汝等一同の前に斯る全癒を得させたるなれ。
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 兄弟等よ、我今にして知る、汝等の司等が為ししに等しく、汝等が不知によりて之を為ししことを。
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
18 然れど神は、諸の預言者の口を以て、豫めキリストの苦しむべき事を告げ給ひしを、斯の如くにして全うし給ひしなり。
But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 然れば汝等罪を消されん為に、改心して立歸れ。
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 是亦主の御前より爽しめの時來りて、預定せられ給ひしイエズス、キリストを汝等に遣はし給はん為なり。
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (aiōn g165)
22 即ちモイゼに曰く、「汝等の神なる主は、汝等の兄弟の中より我が如き一人の預言者を汝等に起し給はん、其汝等に語らん程の事は、汝等悉く之を聴くべし、
Moses declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 斯て総て此預言者に聴かざる人は、必ず人民の中より亡ぼさるべし」、と。
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 サムエル以來語りし預言者、皆此日の事を告げたり。
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
25 汝等は預言者等の子等なり、又神が、「地上の諸族悉く汝の裔を以て祝せられん」、とアブラハムに曰ひて、我等の先祖に為し給ひし契約の子等なり。
"You are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall be blessed.'
26 神は先汝等の為にこそ、御子を起して汝等を祝福し給ふ者を遣はし給ひしなれ、是各自ら其不義より立歸らん為なり、と。
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
