使徒の働き 9
1 第一 サウロの不思議なる改心 サウロは主の弟子等に對して、尚脅喝、殺害の毒氣を吐きつつ司祭長に至り、
Meanwhile Saul, still exhaling murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 ダマスコの諸會堂に寄する書簡を乞へり。是此道の男女を見出さば、縛りてエルザレムに引行かん為なりき。
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he should find any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 斯て途中ダマスコ附近に至りけるに、忽ち天より光來りて彼を圍照ししかば、
So it happened, as he was going, that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
4 彼地に倒れつつ、サウロよサウロよ何ぞ我を迫害する、と云ふ聲あるを聞きて、
and falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 主よ、汝は誰ぞ、と云ひけるに彼者、我は汝の迫害せるイエズスなり、刺ある鞭に逆らふは汝に取りて難し、と云へり。
So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” So the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;
6 サウロ戰き且驚入りて、主よ、我に何を為さしめんと思召したるぞ、と云ひしに主曰ひけるは、起きて市中に入れ、汝の為すべき事は彼處にて告げらるべし、と。
but get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 此時、伴へる人々は、聲をば聞きながら誰をも見ざれば、惘果てて佇みたりしが、
The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.
8 サウロ地より起きて目を開けども、何も見えざりしかば、人其手を引きてダマスコに導きしに、
Then Saul got up from the ground, and upon opening his eyes he saw no one; so leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
9 三日の間此處に在りて目見えず飲食せざりき。
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 然るにダマスコにアナニアと云へる弟子ありしが、主幻影に、アナニアよ、と曰ひしかば彼、主よ、我此處に在り、と云ひしを、
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” So he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
11 主又之に曰ひけるは、起ちて、直と云へる町に往き、ユダの家にサウロと名くるタルソ人を尋ねよ、看よ彼祈り居るなり、と。
So the Lord said to him: “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas inquire by name for Saul of Tarsus; because, you see, he is praying,
12 此時サウロは、アナニアと名くる人の入來りて、視力を回復せん為に己に按手するを見たりしなり。
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing a hand on him, so that he might recover his sight.”
13 然れどアナニア答へけるは、主よ、此人がエルザレムに於て主の聖徒等に為しし害の如何許なるかは、我多くの人に聞きしが、
But Ananias answered: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14 此處にても彼は司祭長より受けて、主の御名を呼頼む人を悉く捕縛するの権を有せり、と。
Moreover here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are calling on Your name.”
15 主アナニアに曰ひけるは、往け、蓋彼は異邦人、國王、及びイスラエルの子等の前に我名を持行く為に、我が選みし器なり、
But the Lord said to him: “Get moving, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to carry my name before nations and kings, also the children of Israel;
16 故に我名の為には、如何許苦しむべきかを我之に示さんとす、と。
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.”
17 是に於てアナニア往きて家に入り、サウロに按手して、兄弟サウロよ、汝の來れる路にて汝に現れ給ひし主イエズス、汝が視力を回復し、且聖霊に満たされん為に我を遣はし給へり、と云ひしかば、
So Ananias went and entered the house, and placing his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may recover your sight and be filled by Holy Spirit.”
18 忽ちサウロの目より鱗の如きもの落ちて、視力を回復し、起ちて洗せられしが、
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he recovered his sight forthwith; and getting up he was baptized,
19 軈て食事して力づけり。然て數日の間、ダマスコの弟子等と共に居りて、
and upon receiving food he was strengthened. So Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for a number of days.
20 直に諸會堂に於てイエズスの事、即ち其神の御子たる事を宣傳へければ、
Immediately he started proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of the God.
21 聞く人皆惘果てて、是は曾て彼名を呼頼める人々をエルザレムに於て迫害し居たりし者にて、又彼が此に來りしは、彼等を捕縛して、司祭長に引渡さん為ならずや、と云ひ居たれど、
Well, all who heard him were astounded and started saying: “Isn't this the one who tried to destroy, in Jerusalem, those who called on this name? Even here he had come with that purpose, that he might take them bound to the high priests.”
22 サウロは愈力増りて、此イエズスはキリストなりと断言し、ダマスコに住めるユデア人を閉口せしめつつありき。
But Saul kept growing stronger and kept on confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus, proving that ‘This One is the Christ.’
23 日頃経てユデア人一同、サウロを殺さんと協議せしが、
Now when a good many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him;
24 其計略サウロに知られたり。斯て彼等、サウロを殺さんとて、晝夜[市街の]門を守りけるに、
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates day and night, so that they might kill him;
25 弟子等夜中に之を引取りて籠に入れ、城壁より吊下して逃れしめたり。
so the disciples took him by night and passed him through the wall, lowering him in a hamper.
26 サウロ、エルザレムに至り、努めて弟子等の中に連ならんとすれども、皆彼が弟子たる事を信ぜずして之を恐れければ、
Now upon arriving in Jerusalem Saul kept trying to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 バルナバ携へて使徒等に連行き、彼が途中にて主を見奉り、主之に言ひ給ひし次第、又ダマスコに於てイエズスの御名の為に、憚る所なく盡力せし次第を語れり。
But Barnabas took him in tow and brought him to the apostles, and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken fearlessly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
28 是よりサウロ、エルザレムに在りて彼等と共に出入し、憚る所なく主の御名の為に盡力したりけるが、
So he was with them in Jerusalem, going in and out, and speaking fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
29 又ギリシア語のユデア人と語り且弁論しければ、彼等之を殺さんと謀りしを、
He kept on speaking and debating with the Hellenists, so they started trying to kill him.
30 兄弟等覚りてカイザリアに送り、タルソに往かしめたり。
Upon finding it out, the brothers brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 第一 ルッダ及ヨッペに於るペトロの奇蹟 第三款 百夫長コルネリオの改宗、及び異邦人中の教會開始 斯てユデア、ガリレア、サマリアにては教會一般に平和を得て次第に成立ち、神に對する畏敬に進み、聖霊の慰によりて増加しつつありしが、
So then the congregations throughout all Judea and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace and were built up; and proceeding in the fear of the Lord and in the enabling of the Holy Spirit they were being multiplied.
32 ペトロ諸方を巡廻して、ルッダに住める聖徒等の許に至りしに、
Now it happened, as Peter went through all those parts, that he also went down to the saints who were living in Lydda.
33 此處にてエネアと云へる人の八年以來癱瘋を病みて床に臥せるに遇ひ、
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed—he had been lying on a pallet for eight years.
34 之に向ひて、エネアよ、主イエズス、キリスト汝を醫し給ふ、起きて自ら床を整へよ、と云ひければ彼直に起きたり。
Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up!
35 斯てルッダ及びサロンに住める人、皆之を見て主に歸依せり。
All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 然てヨッペに一人の婦の弟子あり、名はタビタ、訳してドルカ[即ち鹿]と云はれ、從來善行と慈善とに富みたりしが、
Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing.
37 此時に當りて病死せしかば、屍を洗ひて高間に置きたり。
But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room.
38 斯てルッダはヨッペに近きに因り、弟子等ペトロの此處に居るを聞き、二人の人を遣はして、猶豫なく我等の許に來れ、と請はしめしかば、
Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39 ペトロ起ちて彼等と共に來りしが、其着するや人々之を高間に導き、寡婦等皆之を圍みて打泣きつつ、ドルカが己等の為に造り居たりし襦袢と上衣とを示せり。
So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was with them.
40 ペトロ人を悉く外に出し、跪きて祈り、然て屍に向ひて、タビタ起きよ、と云ひしかば、婦目を開き、ペトロを見て坐れり。
So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up.
41 ペトロ手を假して之を立たしめ、聖徒等及び寡婦等を呼びて、生回りたるを還し與へたり。
Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
42 此事ヨッペに知れ渡りければ、主を信仰する人々多く、
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 ペトロはシモンと云へる革工の家に在りて、久しくヨッペに留るに至れり。
So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
