安息の年とヨベルの年
25 1-2 モーセがまだシナイ山にいる間に、主は次のような人々への指示を彼に与えました。「わたしが与えようとしている国に着いたら、七年に一度は土地を休ませなさい。 3 六年間は畑に種をまき、ぶどう園の手入れをして収穫を上げるがいい。 4 だが七年目は休耕して、主の前に土地を休ませなさい。種をまいたり、ぶどう園の手入れをしたりしてはならない。 5 手入れもしないのに自然に生えた実やぶどうを収穫するのも許されない。土地を休ませる年だからだ。 6-7 その年に育った実は収穫はできないが、必要な分だけなら、だれが取ってもかまわない。あなたがたはもちろん、使用人、奴隷、あなたのもとにいる外国人も含まれる。家畜や野生動物にも自由に食べさせなさい。
8 さらに五十年目を特別な年、ヨベルの年とする。 9 その年の全国民の罪を償う日に、ラッパを国中に高く鳴り響かせなさい。 10 五十年目は聖なる負債免除の年である。負債のある者は、公私の別なく負債はすべて帳消しにされる。また、人手に渡った財産も戻ってくる。
11 種まきも、刈り入れもしてはならない。なんと恵まれた年だろう。 12 聖なる五十年祭だ。その年は、野に自然に育ったものを食べなさい。
13 ヨベルの年には、だれもが元の財産を取り戻す。売ったものでも再び自分のものとなる。 14-16 だから、それまでの四十九年間に土地を売買する場合は、ヨベルの年までの年数によって公正な値段をつけなさい。残りの年数が長ければ値段は高くなり、短ければ安くなる。つまり、土地を返すまで何回収穫できるかによって値段を決めるのだ。
17-18 神を恐れなさい。不当に高い値段をつけてはならない。わたしは主である。約束の国で安全に暮らしたければ、わたしのおきてに従いなさい。 19 そうすれば豊作に恵まれ、不自由なく安全に暮らせる。 20 『七年目は作物を作れないのなら、いったい何を食べたらいいのか』と言うのか。 21-22 心配はいらない。六年目を豊作にし、たっぷり三年分の収穫を上げさせよう。
23 土地はわたしのものだから、それを永久に売り渡してはならない。あなたがたは任されている者にすぎないのだから。 24 土地を売るときは、いつでも買い戻せることを条件にしなければならない。 25 生活に困り、土地を手放さなければならなくなったときは、近親者が買い戻してかまわない。 26-27 そのとき買い戻す者がいなくても、金ができしだい、売った本人が、ヨベルの年までの収穫の回数に見合う値段でいつでも買い戻せる。買い主は代金を受け取り、土地を返さなければならない。 28 元の持ち主が買い戻せないときは、ヨベルの年まで買い主のものとなる。ヨベルの年になったら当然返さなければならない。
29 もし、城壁で囲まれた町の中にある家を売る場合は、一年間は買い戻す権利がある。 30 一年以内に買い戻せないときは、永久に新しい所有者のものとなる。ヨベルの年にも返す必要はない。 31 城壁で囲まれていない村にある家は、畑地と同じようにいつでも買い戻すことができ、ヨベルの年には元の持ち主に返される。
32 ただし、レビ人の町の家の場合は、城壁に囲まれた町であっても、レビ人はいつでも買い戻せるし、 33 ヨベルの年には彼らに返さなければならない。レビ人はほかの部族のように農地はもらえず、それぞれの町にある家と、その回りの畑しか持っていないからだ。 34 レビ人は、町の周囲の公用地を売ってはならない。そこは彼らの永久の所有地だからである。
35 同胞のイスラエル人が生活に困ったら、助ける責任がある。客として家に招き、 36 いっしょに住まわせなさい。神を恐れなさい。金を貸すなら無利子で貸しなさい。 37 決して利息を取ってはならない。必要なものは買い与えなさい。困っている人を利用して、もうけようとしてはならない。 38 わたしは、あなたがたをエジプトから救い出してカナンの地を与える、あなたがたの神、主である。
39 同胞のイスラエル人が生活に困って身売りしても、奴隷のように扱ってはならない。 40 使用人か客のように扱いなさい。その者が仕えるのはヨベルの年までだ。 41 その時が来れば、子どもたちといっしょに家族のところへ戻り、財産も取り戻せる。 42 わたしは、あなたがたをエジプトから救い出した神であり、あなたがたはみな、わたしのしもべである。奴隷のように売られることも、 43 手荒く扱われることもあってはならない。神を恐れなさい。
44 周辺の国の外国人なら、奴隷として買ってもかまわない。 45 また、イスラエル生まれの外国人の子どもも、奴隷として買うことができる。 46 生涯奴隷として使い、子孫に譲り渡してもよい。ただし、同胞のイスラエル人を、そのように扱ってはならない。
47 生活に困ったイスラエル人が、富裕な在留外国人やその家族に身売りした場合は、 48-49 兄弟か、おじか、いとこ、あるいは親せきの者ならだれにでも買い戻してもらえる。金ができれば、自分で自分を買い戻すこともできる。 50 自由の身となる代価は、ヨベルの年までの残りの年数によって決める。 51 まだかなり間があるときは、身売りした時に受け取った額を払いなさい。 52 何年もたってヨベルの年まで残り少なくなっている場合は、それに見合うだけ払えばよい。 53 イスラエル人が外国人に身売りした場合、買った外国人は、奴隷だからといって酷使してはならない。年ごとに雇われる使用人並みに扱いなさい。 54 たとえ買い戻せない場合でも、ヨベルの年がくれば子どもたちといっしょに自由の身となる。 55 イスラエル人は、わたしがこの手でエジプトから救い出した、わたしのしもべだからだ。

The Sabbath Year
25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,(A) 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.(B) 4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest,(C) a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.(D) 5 Do not reap what grows of itself(E) or harvest the grapes(F) of your untended vines.(G) The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year(H) will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals(I) in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
The Year of Jubilee(J)(K)
8 “‘Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years. 9 Then have the trumpet(L) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;(M) on the Day of Atonement(N) sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty(O) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee(P) for you; each of you is to return to your family property(Q) and to your own clan. 11 The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee(R) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.(S) 12 For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee(T) everyone is to return to their own property.
14 “‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.(U) 15 You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years(V) since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. 16 When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price,(W) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. 17 Do not take advantage of each other,(X) but fear your God.(Y) I am the Lord your God.(Z)
18 “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws,(AA) and you will live safely in the land.(AB) 19 Then the land will yield its fruit,(AC) and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.(AD) 20 You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year(AE) if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” 21 I will send you such a blessing(AF) in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.(AG) 22 While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.(AH)
23 “‘The land(AI) must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine(AJ) and you reside in my land as foreigners(AK) and strangers. 24 Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption(AL) of the land.
25 “‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative(AM) is to come and redeem(AN) what they have sold. 26 If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper(AO) and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves, 27 they are to determine the value for the years(AP) since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.(AQ) 28 But if they do not acquire the means to repay, what was sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned(AR) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.(AS)
29 “‘Anyone who sells a house in a walled city retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time the seller may redeem it. 30 If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and the buyer’s descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee. 31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
32 “‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns,(AT) which they possess. 33 So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites. 34 But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.(AU)
35 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor(AV) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them(AW) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest(AX) or any profit from them, but fear your God,(AY) so that they may continue to live among you. 37 You must not lend them money at interest(AZ) or sell them food at a profit. 38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan(BA) and to be your God.(BB)
39 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.(BC) 40 They are to be treated as hired workers(BD) or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property(BE) of their ancestors.(BF) 42 Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt,(BG) they must not be sold as slaves. 43 Do not rule over them ruthlessly,(BH) but fear your God.(BI)
44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
47 “‘If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves(BJ) to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan, 48 they retain the right of redemption(BK) after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives(BL) may redeem them: 49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper,(BM) they may redeem themselves. 50 They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee.(BN) The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker(BO) for that number of years. 51 If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them. 52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they are to compute that and pay for their redemption accordingly.(BP) 53 They are to be treated as workers hired from year to year; you must see to it that those to whom they owe service do not rule over them ruthlessly.(BQ)
54 “‘Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee, 55 for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt.(BR) I am the Lord your God.(BS)
Leviticus 25

King James Version
25 And the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the Lord your God.
18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile.
41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

25 ああ主よ、あなたに祈ります。
2 主よ。あなたに信頼している私に、
恥をかかせないでください。
敵が有利に立ち回り、勝ち誇ったりしませんように。
3 神を信じる者は誰ひとり、
信仰のために恥をかくことはありません。
しかし、罪のない者を傷つける者はみな、
身をもって手痛い敗北を経験します。
4 ああ主よ、進むべき道を教えてください。
正しい小道を示してください。
5 私を導き、教えてください。
主は救いをお与えになる神だからです。
主以外に望みはありません。
6-7 若いころの罪は忘れてください。
ああ主よ。あわれみと赦しの目で、
永遠の愛と恵みの目で、私を見てください。
8 主は正しい方で、迷い出た人に、
喜んで正しい道を教えてくださいます。
9 謙遜になって主のもとに帰る人に、
主は最良の道を教えてくださいます。
10 主に従って歩むとき、
その道は、どこでも、
主のいつくしみと真実の香りが漂っています。
11 しかし、主よ。
私はなんと数多くの罪を犯していることでしょう。
ああどうか、御名のために私をお赦しください。
12 主を恐れる人はどこにいますか。
主はその人に、
最善のものを選ぶ秘訣を教えてくださいます。
13 その人は神の祝福の中に住み、
子孫は地を受け継ぎます。

そこに出入りしません。
6 私は手を洗って身の潔白を証明し、
それから祭壇に行き、
7 感謝の歌を歌い、主の奇跡を人々に語り聞かせます。
8 主よ。私はあなたの家を愛しています。
光り輝くその宮を。
主ご自身から照り渡る、
目もくらむばかりの輝きに満ちた宮を。
9-10 どうか、私を低俗な罪人たちと
いっしょにしないでください。
また、罪もない者を罠にかけ、
わいろを取る連中といっしょにしないでください。
11 私はそんな人間ではありません。
ああ主よ。正しいことだけを行うために、
狭くてまっすぐな道を歩もうとしてきたのです。
どうか、私をあわれんでお救いください。
12 主は、私がつまずいたり、倒れたりしないよう
守ってくださるので、
私は人々の前で、主をほめたたえます。

Psalm 25[a]
Of David.
1 In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.(A)
2 I trust in you;(B)
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,(C)
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous(D) without cause.
4 Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.(E)
5 Guide me in your truth(F) and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,(G)
and my hope is in you(H) all day long.
6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,(I)
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(J)
and my rebellious ways;(K)
according to your love(L) remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.(M)
8 Good and upright(N) is the Lord;
therefore he instructs(O) sinners in his ways.
9 He guides(P) the humble in what is right
and teaches them(Q) his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful(R)
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.(S)
11 For the sake of your name,(T) Lord,
forgive(U) my iniquity,(V) though it is great.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?(W)
He will instruct them in the ways(X) they should choose.[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,(Y)
and their descendants will inherit the land.(Z)
14 The Lord confides(AA) in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known(AB) to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,(AC)
for only he will release my feet from the snare.(AD)
16 Turn to me(AE) and be gracious to me,(AF)
for I am lonely(AG) and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles(AH) of my heart
and free me from my anguish.(AI)
18 Look on my affliction(AJ) and my distress(AK)
and take away all my sins.(AL)
19 See how numerous are my enemies(AM)
and how fiercely they hate me!(AN)
20 Guard my life(AO) and rescue me;(AP)
do not let me be put to shame,(AQ)
for I take refuge(AR) in you.
21 May integrity(AS) and uprightness(AT) protect me,
because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.(AU)
22 Deliver Israel,(AV) O God,
from all their troubles!
Psalm 26
Of David.
1 Vindicate me,(AW) Lord,
for I have led a blameless life;(AX)
I have trusted(AY) in the Lord
and have not faltered.(AZ)
2 Test me,(BA) Lord, and try me,
examine my heart and my mind;(BB)
3 for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love(BC)
and have lived(BD) in reliance on your faithfulness.(BE)
4 I do not sit(BF) with the deceitful,
nor do I associate with hypocrites.(BG)
5 I abhor(BH) the assembly of evildoers
and refuse to sit with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands in innocence,(BI)
and go about your altar, Lord,
7 proclaiming aloud your praise(BJ)
and telling of all your wonderful deeds.(BK)
8 Lord, I love(BL) the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.(BM)
9 Do not take away my soul along with sinners,
my life with those who are bloodthirsty,(BN)
10 in whose hands are wicked schemes,(BO)
whose right hands are full of bribes.(BP)
11 I lead a blameless life;
deliver me(BQ) and be merciful to me.

King James Version
25 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
26 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

使徒の働き 22
Japanese Living Bible
22 「私の兄弟とも父とも言うべき皆さん。どうか、私の申し上げることを聞いてください。」 2 パウロがヘブル語で話すのを聞いて、人々はしーんと静まり返りました。 3 「私はキリキヤの町タルソで生まれたユダヤ人ですが、エルサレムのガマリエル先生のもとで教育を受けました。先生の門下生として、ユダヤの律法には、特にきびしく従うように教えられました。つまり、今の皆さん同様、こと神に関する限り、人並み以上に熱心だったのです。 4 クリスチャンを迫害し、逃げる者たちを、どこまでも執念深く追い回し、男でも女でも手当たりしだいに縛り上げて投獄したり、殺したり……。 5 そのことは、大祭司様も、議会の議員の方々も証言してくださるでしょう。この人たちに頼んで、ダマスコに住むユダヤ人の指導者あてに、クリスチャンを見つけしだい縛り上げ、処罰するためにエルサレムへ連行することを認めさせる手紙を、書いてもらったくらいですから。
6 ところが、旅をして、もうすぐダマスコという時、あれはちょうど正午ごろでしたが、突然まばゆい光が、天からさっと私を照らしたのです。 7 思わず倒れ伏した私の耳に、『パウロ、パウロ。なぜわたしを迫害するのか』と呼びかける声が聞こえました。 8 『そう言われるあなたは？』と尋ねると、その声は、『あなたが迫害しているナザレのイエスだ』と言われるではありませんか。 9 いっしょにいた人たちには、光は見えましたが、ことばはわかりませんでした。
10 『主よ。私はいったい、どうしたらよいのでしょう。』私がこう尋ねると、『立って、ダマスコの町に入りなさい。将来どんなことがあなたの身に起こるかは、そこで教えられるだろう』というお答えです。
11 ところが、あまりのまぶしさに目が見えなくなり、連れの者にダマスコまで手を引いて行ってもらわなければなりませんでした。 12 ダマスコには、律法を忠実に守る、信心深いアナニヤという人がいました。ダマスコのすべてのユダヤ人に、たいそう評判のよい人でした。 13 この人が来て、『兄弟パウロ。見えるようになれ』と言うと、たちまち彼の姿が見えるようになりました。
14 するとアナニヤはこう言ったのです。『先祖たちの神があなたをお選びになったのです。神がそのことをあなたに知らせ、イエス・キリストに会わせ、その御声を聞かせてくださったのです。 15 あなたがこの方の教えを携えて行き、自分で見聞きしたことを、あらゆる所のあらゆる人たちに伝えるためです。 16 さあ、何をためらっているのです。お立ちなさい。主の名を呼んでバプテスマ（洗礼）を受け、罪をすっかり洗いきよめていただくのです。』
17-18 こうしてエルサレムに帰り、ある日、神殿で祈っていると、うつらうつら夢ごこちになり、神の幻を見たのです。神様は、『さあ、急いでエルサレムを離れなさい。ここの人たちは、あなたがわたしの教えを伝えても信じないから』とおっしゃいました。
19 私は答えました。『主よ。人々はかつて私がどこの会堂ででも、あなたを信じる人たちを投獄し、むち打ったことを、いやと言うほど知っているのです。 20 しかも私は、あのステパノが殺された時には、それに賛成して現場に立ち合ったばかりか、石を投げつける者たちの上着の番をしたのです。』 21 しかし神様は、『さあ出発しなさい。あなたを遠く、外国人のところへ派遣します』と言われました。」
22 パウロがここまで話した時、人々はいっせいに叫びだしました。「こんなやつは消しちまえ！ 生かしておくな。殺せ、殺せ！」 23 大声でわめく声、声、声……。あたりは興奮のるつぼとなりました。上着は宙に舞い、あちこちで、ちりをつかんでまき散らす者も出るしまつです。
24 どうしてこれほどの怒りを買うのか、その事情を知りたいと思った司令官は、パウロを兵営に引き入れ、むち打って取り調べようと思いました。
25 兵士たちが縛り上げた時、パウロはそばに立っている士官に、「ローマ市民の私を、裁判にもかけずにむち打ってもよいのですか」と言いました。
26 これを聞いて、士官はあわてて司令官のところへ駆けつけ、「いかがいたしましょう。あの男はローマ市民だと言っております」と耳打ちしました。
27 そこで司令官がじきじきに問いただしました。
「はっきり言いなさい。あなたはローマ市民なのか。」
「言われるとおり、ローマ市民です。」
28 「私もローマの市民権を持っているが、ずいぶん金を積んだものだ。」
「私は生まれながらの市民です。」
29 パウロを打とうとそこに立っていた兵士たちは、ローマ市民だとわかったとたん、びっくりして身を引きました。司令官も、知らなかったとはいえ、ローマ市民を縛ってむち打つように命令したので、ひどく不安になりました。
最高議会に立つパウロ
30 翌日、司令官はパウロの鎖を解き、祭司長たちに、最高議会の召集を命じました。その場にパウロを連れ出し、なぜ彼がユダヤ人に告訴されたのか確かめようと思ったのです。
Acts 22
New International Version
Acts 22
New International Version
22 1 “Brothers and fathers,(A) listen now to my defense.”
2 When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic,(B) they became very quiet.
Then Paul said: 3 “I am a Jew,(C) born in Tarsus(D) of Cilicia,(E) but brought up in this city. I studied under(F) Gamaliel(G) and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors.(H) I was just as zealous(I) for God as any of you are today. 4 I persecuted(J) the followers of this Way(K) to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison,(L) 5 as the high priest and all the Council(M) can themselves testify. I even obtained letters from them to their associates(N) in Damascus,(O) and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.
6 “About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.(P) 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’
8 “‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked.
“ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth,(Q) whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. 9 My companions saw the light,(R) but they did not understand the voice(S) of him who was speaking to me.
10 “‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked.
“ ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’(T) 11 My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me.(U)
12 “A man named Ananias came to see me.(V) He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there.(W) 13 He stood beside me and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And at that very moment I was able to see him.
14 “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors(X) has chosen you to know his will and to see(Y) the Righteous One(Z) and to hear words from his mouth. 15 You will be his witness(AA) to all people of what you have seen(AB) and heard. 16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized(AC) and wash your sins away,(AD) calling on his name.’(AE)
17 “When I returned to Jerusalem(AF) and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance(AG) 18 and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’
19 “‘Lord,’ I replied, ‘these people know that I went from one synagogue to another to imprison(AH) and beat(AI) those who believe in you. 20 And when the blood of your martyr[a] Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’(AJ)
21 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”(AK)
Paul the Roman Citizen
22 The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him!(AL) He’s not fit to live!”(AM)
23 As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks(AN) and flinging dust into the air,(AO) 24 the commander ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.(AP) He directed(AQ) that he be flogged and interrogated in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this. 25 As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty?”(AR)
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. “What are you going to do?” he asked. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
27 The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”
“Yes, I am,” he answered.
28 Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.”
“But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
29 Those who were about to interrogate him(AS) withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen,(AT) in chains.(AU)
Paul Before the Sanhedrin
30 The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews.(AV) So the next day he released him(AW) and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin(AX) to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them.

King James Version
22 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
