1:1 ペルシアの王キュロスの第一年のことである。主はかつてエレミヤの口によって約束されたことを成就するため、ペルシアの王キュロスの心を動かされた。キュロスは文書にも記して、国中に次のような布告を行き渡らせた。 1:2 「ペルシアの王キュロスはこう言う。天にいます神、主は、地上のすべての国をわたしに賜った。この主がユダのエルサレムに御自分の神殿を建てることをわたしに命じられた。 1:3 あなたたちの中で主の民に属する者はだれでも、エルサレムにいますイスラエルの神、主の神殿を建てるために、ユダのエルサレムに上って行くがよい。神が共にいてくださるように。 1:4 すべての残りの者には、どこに寄留している者にも、その所の人々は銀、金、家財、家畜、エルサレムの神殿への随意の献げ物を持たせるようにせよ。」 1:5 そこで、ユダとベニヤミンの家長、祭司、レビ人、つまり神に心を動かされた者は皆、エルサレムの主の神殿を建てるために上って行こうとした。 1:6 周囲の人々は皆、あらゆる随意の献げ物のほかに、銀と金の器、家財、家畜、高価な贈り物をもって彼らを支援した。 1:7 キュロス王は、ネブカドネツァルがエルサレムの主の神殿から出させて、自分の神々の宮に納めた祭具類を取り出させた。 1:8 ペルシアの王キュロスは財務官ミトレダトによってそれを取り出させ、ユダの首長シェシュバツァルの前で数えさせたところ、 1:9 その数は次のとおりであった。金の容器三十、銀の容器一千、小刀二十九、 1:10 金杯三十、二級品の銀杯四百十、その他の祭具一千、 1:11 以上金銀の祭具の合計五千四百。シェシュバツァルは、捕囚の民がバビロンからエルサレムに上って来たとき、これらの品々をすべて携えて上った。
1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 1:2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 1:3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 1:4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. 1:5 Then the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 1:6 And all those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. 1:7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his gods; 1:8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 1:9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 1:10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 1:11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
1:1 -2テオフィロさま、わたしは先に第一巻を著して、イエスが行い、また教え始めてから、お選びになった使徒たちに聖霊を通して指図を与え、天に上げられた日までのすべてのことについて書き記しました。
1:3 イエスは苦難を受けた後、御自分が生きていることを、数多くの証拠をもって使徒たちに示し、四十日にわたって彼らに現れ、神の国について話された。 1:4 そして、彼らと食事を共にしていたとき、こう命じられた。「エルサレムを離れず、前にわたしから聞いた、父の約束されたものを待ちなさい。 1:5 ヨハネは水で洗礼を授けたが、あなたがたは間もなく聖霊による洗礼を授けられるからである。
1:6 さて、使徒たちは集まって、「主よ、イスラエルのために国を建て直してくださるのは、この時ですか」と尋ねた。 1:7 イエスは言われた。「父が御自分の権威をもってお定めになった時や時期は、あなたがたの知るところではない。 1:8 あなたがたの上に聖霊が降ると、あなたがたは力を受ける。そして、エルサレムばかりでなく、ユダヤとサマリアの全土で、また、地の果てに至るまで、わたしの証人となる。」 1:9 こう話し終わると、イエスは彼らが見ているうちに天に上げられたが、雲に覆われて彼らの目から見えなくなった。 1:10 イエスが離れ去って行かれるとき、彼らは天を見つめていた。すると、白い服を着た二人の人がそばに立って、 1:11 言った。「ガリラヤの人たち、なぜ天を見上げて立っているのか。あなたがたから離れて天に上げられたイエスは、天に行かれるのをあなたがたが見たのと同じ有様で、またおいでになる。」
Act 1:1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
[ 1 ]
1:1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
1:2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,
1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;
1:5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
1:6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
1:7 And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
1:9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
1:10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
1:11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
