행21장 / 이방 가운데서 하신 일
한국인으로서 한국어로 하나님의 말씀인 성경을 읽지만 우리는 또한 세계시민으로 세계어로 초대교회사를 읽을 수 있다는 것은 복된 일일 것이다. 역사가 누가의 생생한 목격을 통해서 말이다. 영력은 ( Spiritual power and power of English language) 따라올 수 밖에 없을 것이다.
행21장 / 이방 가운데서 하신 일
1 우리가 저희를 작별하고 행선하여 바로 고스로 가서 이튿날 로도에 이르러 거기서부터 바다라로 가서
1 After we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea and sailed straight to Cos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there to Patara.
(* 우리가,, 사도행전을 기록한 누가는 우리가 라고 하였다. 누가는 바울의 주치의로서 바울의 동역자 동행자로서 초대교회에서 예수의 영 성령의 역사를 보고 체험하며 기록하였다는 것이다. 예수님께서 아나니아를 통해 주신 말씀 행9:15 절이 이루어지고 있는 것을 생생하게 목격하고 기록하였다는 것이다.)
2 베니게로 건너가는 배를 만나서 타고 가다가
3 구브로를 바라보고 이를 왼편에 두고 수리아로 행선하여 두로에서 상륙하니 거기서 배가 짐을 풀려 함이러라
2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
3 After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed on to Syria. We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo.
4 제자들을 찾아 거기서 이레를 머물더니 그 제자들이 성령의 감동으로 바울더러 예루살렘에 들어가지 말라 하더라
4 Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem
(* 제자들은 바울이 예루살렘에 들어갈 경우 결박되어 죽을 수도 있다고 생각하였을 것이다. 스데반이 그러하지 않았는가, 행8: ,21:13, 행9: )
5 이 여러 날을 지난 후 우리가 떠나갈새 저희가 다 그 처자와 함께 성문 밖까지 전송하거늘 우리가 바닷가에서 무릎을 꿇어 기도하고
6 서로 작별한 후 우리는 배에 오르고 저희는 집으로 돌아가니라
(* 우리는, 사도바울과 함께 성령의 역사의 생생한 목격자 누가가 기록한 것이라는 것이다.)
5 But when our time was up, we left and continued on our way. All the disciples and their wives and children accompanied us out of the city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray.
6 After saying good-by to each other, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.
7 두로로부터 수로를 다 행하여 돌레마이에 이르러 형제들에게 안부를 묻고 그들과 함께 하루를 있다가 8 이튿날 떠나 가이사랴에 이르러 일곱 집사 중 하나인 전도자 빌립의 집에 들어가서 유하니라 9 그에게 딸 넷이 있으니 처녀로 예언하는 자라
(* 이 8 절에서 빌립은 예수님의 열두 제자 중의 한 사람인 빌립과 동일한 이름이지만 초대교회 일곱집사 중에 한 사람이니 빌립을 말하고 있다.)
7 We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day. 8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
10 여러 날 있더니 한 선지자 아가보라 하는 이가 유대로부터 내려와 11 우리에게 와서 바울의 띠를 가져다가 자기 수족을 잡아매고 말하기를 성령이 말씀하시되 예루살렘에서 유대인들이 이같이 이 띠 임자를 결박하여 이방인의 손에 넘겨 주리라 하거늘
12 우리가 그 말을 듣고 그 곳 사람들로 더불어 바울에게 예루살렘으로 올라가지 말라 권하니
10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit says, 'In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
(* 바울이 예루살렘으로 올라가면 어떤 일이 ,, 행9:
13 바울이 대답하되 너희가 어찌하여 울어 내 마음을 상하게 하느냐 나는 주 예수의 이름을 위하여 결박받을 뿐 아니라 예루살렘에서 죽을 것도 각오하였노라 하니
13 Then Paul answered, "Why are you 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."
(* 행9:15,,
14 저가 권함을 받지 아니하므로 우리가 주의 뜻대로 이루어지이다 하고 그쳤노라
14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, "The Lord's will be done."
15 이 여러 날 후에 행장을 준비하여 예루살렘으로 올라갈새
16 가이사랴의 몇 제자가 함께 가며 한 오랜 제자 구브로 사람 나손을 데리고 가니 이는 우리가 그의 집에 유하려 함이라
17 예루살렘에 이르니 형제들이 우리를 기꺼이 영접하거늘
15 After this, we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.
17 When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us warmly.
18 그 이튿날 바울이 우리와 함께 야고보에게로 들어가니 장로들도 다 있더라
(* 바울이 우리와 함께는 사도행전을 기록한 누가는 포함되었고 누가는 자세히 들었을 것이다.)
18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present.
19 바울이 문안하고 하나님이 자기의 봉사로 말미암아 이방 가운데서 하신 일을 낱낱이 고하니
* 봉사, 원) 디아코니아,, 직무, ministry, ministering / 봉사가 전도의 사역인 것을 알 수 있다.
* 이방인 전도하기 얼마나 어려울 것인데,, 하나님께서 놀라운 표적을 보여주시며 함께 행하셨다. 그래서 사도행전을 성령행전이라고도 하는 것이다.
* 행9:15
20 저희가 듣고 하나님께 영광을 돌리고 바울더러 이르되 형제여 그대도 보는 바에 유대인 중에 믿는 자 수만 명이 있으니 다 율법에 열심 있는 자라
19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
21 네가 이방에 있는 모든 유대인을 가르치되 모세를 배반하고 아들들에게 할례를 하지 말고 또 규모를 지키지 말라 한다 함을 저희가 들었도다
21 They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs.
22 그러면 어찌할꼬 저희가 필연 그대의 온 것을 들으리니
23 우리의 말하는 이대로 하라 서원한 네 사람이 우리에게 있으니
24 저희를 데리고 함께 결례를 행하고 저희를 위하여 비용을 내어 머리를 깎게 하라 그러면 모든 사람이 그대에게 대하여 들은 것이 헛된 것이고 그대로 율법을 지켜 행하는 줄로 알 것이라
22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come,
23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow.
24 Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everybody will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law.
25 주를 믿는 이방인에게는 우리가 우상의 제물과 피와 목매어 죽인 것과 음행을 피할 것을 결의하고 편지하였느니라 하니
25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."
26 바울이 이 사람들을 데리고 이튿날 저희와 함께 결례를 행하고 성전에 들어가서 각 사람을 위하여 제사드릴 때까지의 결례의 만기된 것을 고하니라
27 그 이레가 거의 차매 아시아로부터 온 유대인들이 성전에서 바울을 보고 모든 무리를 충동하여 그를 붙들고
26 The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each of them.
27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
28 외치되 이스라엘 사람들아 도우라 이 사람은 각처에서 우리 백성과 율법과 이 곳을 훼방하여 모든 사람을 가르치는 그 자인데 또 헬라인을 데리고 성전에 들어가서 이 거룩한 곳을 더럽게 하였다 하니
29 이는 저희가 전에 에베소 사람 드로비모가 바울과 함께 성내에 있음을 보고 바울이 저를 성전에 데리고 들어간 줄로 생각함일러라
28 shouting, "Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place."
29 (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple area.)
30 온 성이 소동하여 백성이 달려와 모여 바울을 잡아 성전 밖으로 끌고 나가니 문들이 곧 닫히더라
30 The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him from the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.
31 저희가 그를 죽이려 할 때에 온 예루살렘의 요란하다는 소문이 군대의 천부장에게 들리매
32 저가 급히 군사들과 백부장들을 거느리고 달려 내려가니 저희가 천부장과 군사들을 보고 바울 치기를 그치는지라 (행9:16)
31 While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and his soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33 이에 천부장이 가까이 가서 바울을 잡아 두 쇠사슬로 결박하라 명하고 누구며 무슨 일을 하였느냐 물으니
(* 천부장은 바울이 종교적인 사역이 아니라 세상적인 어떤 자범죄의 잘못을 저지른 줄 알았을 것이다.)
33 The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
34 무리 가운데서 어떤 이는 이 말로, 어떤 이는 저 말로 부르짖거늘 천부장이 소동을 인하여 그 실상을 알 수 없어 그를 영문 안으로 데려가라 명하니라
(* 바울을 죽이려고 하는 사람들은 사실이 아닌 것을 말하며 어떻게든 바울을 해하려고 하였을 것을 알 수 있다.)
34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another, and since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.
35 바울이 층대에 이를 때에 무리의 포행을 인하여 군사들에게 들려가니
(행9:16 )
35 When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers.
36 이는 백성의 무리가 그를 없이 하자고 외치며 따라감이러라
36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, "Away with him!"
37 바울을 데리고 영문으로 들어가려 할 그 때에 바울이 천부장더러 이르되 내가 당신에게 말할 수 있느뇨 가로되 네가 헬라 말을 아느냐
37 As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, "May I say something to you?" "Do you speak Greek?" he replied.
(* '네가 헬라 말을 아느냐 ' 천부장이 이렇게 물은 것은 사울에 대하여 전혀 알지 못했던 것을 알 수 있다.)
38 그러면 네가 이전에 난을 일으켜 사천의 자객을 거느리고 광야로 가던 애굽인이 아니냐
39 바울이 가로되 나는 유대인이라 소읍이 아닌 길리기아 다소 성의 시민이니 청컨대 백성에게 말하기를 허락하라 하니
38 "Aren't you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four thousand terrorists out into the desert some time ago?"
39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people."
40 천부장이 허락하거늘 바울이 층대 위에 서서 백성에게 손짓하여 크게 종용히 한 후에 히브리 방언으로 말하여 가로되
40 Having received the commander's permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic:
(* 히브리 방언 (in Aramaic) ,, 이스라엘이 바벨론에서 포로생활을하기 시작한 이후 (bc586~) 사용한 말로 이 아람어는 히브리 방언이라는 것이다.)
