アルマ書 第１５章
THE BOOK OF ALMA THE SON OF ALMA CHAPTER 15
ｱﾙﾏ15,*-*,ゼーズロム、奇跡的に病を医されて教会に入り、教えを宣べ伝える。多くの者がバプテスマを受ける。アルマとアミュレク、ゼラヘムラへ帰る。
Alma and Amulek go to Sidom and establish a church—Alma heals Zeezrom, who joins the Church—Many are baptized and the Church prospers—Alma and Amulek go to Zarahemla. About 81 B.C.
ｱﾙﾏ15,1,アルマとアミュレクとはその市から立ち去れと命ぜられたので、ここを立ってサイドムの地方へ行ったが、ここでアモナイハの地を立ち退いた者たちに逢った。この人々はアルマの言葉を信じたからアモナイハから追い出され、石で撃たれた者たちであった。
1 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek were commanded to depart out of that city; and they departed, and came out even into the land of Sidom; and behold, there they found all the people who had departed out of the land of aAmmonihah, who had been bcast out and stoned, because they believed in the words of Alma.
ｱﾙﾏ15,2,アルマとアミュレクとはここでこの人たちの妻子が逢った災難をくわしく物語、また自分たちの上のこと、自分たちを救だした能力のことなどを述べて聞かせた。
2 And they related unto them all that had happened unto their awives and children, and also concerning themselves, and of their bpower of deliverance.
ｱﾙﾏ15,3,ゼーズロムもサイドムに居て燃えるような熱病にかかり床についていたが、この病気はかれの罪悪のために心にはげしく苦しみを覚えて起ったのである。ゼーズロムはアルマとアミュレクの２人がもうこの世にいないと思い、２人が殺されたのは自分の犯した罪悪がもと 考えて、この大きな罪やそのほかいろいろな罪にひどくかれの心を覚められ頭を痛めて少しも慰めを得ず、そのために燃えるような熱で身を焼かれたのである。
3 And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever, which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind on account of his awickedness, for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more; and he supposed that they had been slain because of his iniquity. And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind until it did become exceedingly sore, having no deliverance; therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.
ｱﾙﾏ15,4,しかし、アルマとアミュレクとがサイドムの地へ来ていると聞いたので、ゼーズロムは心に力を得てすぐ使をアルマとアミュレクの所へやり自分の許へ来てもらいたいと言った。
4 Now, when he heard that Alma and Amulek were in the land of Sidom, his heart began to take courage; and he sent a message immediately unto them, desiring them to come unto him.
ｱﾙﾏ15,5,アルマとアミュレクとはゼーズロムの頼みに応じてすぐに行ってその家へ入ったが、このときゼーズロムは燃えるような熱病にかかって床の上に臥し危篤の有様であって、その心も頭も罪悪のためにひどく痛んでいた。ゼーズロムは２人を見るや、その手をさし伸べて自 医やしてくれと嘆願をした。
5 And it came to pass that they went immediately, obeying the message which he had sent unto them; and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also was aexceedingly sore because of his iniquities; and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him.
ｱﾙﾏ15,6,そこでアルマは手をとって言った”救いを与えるキリストの能力を信ずるか”と。
6 And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand: aBelievest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation?
ｱﾙﾏ15,7,ゼーズロムは答えて言った”さよう。私は教えた一切の言葉を信ずる”。
7 And he answered and said: Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught.
ｱﾙﾏ15,8,アルマはさらに言った”もしも汝が贖罪を信ずるならば医される”と。
8 And Alma said: If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be ahealed.
ｱﾙﾏ15,9,ゼーズロムはこれに答えて言った”はい、私は汝の言った通りに信ずる”と。
9 And he said: Yea, I believe according to thy words.
ｱﾙﾏ15,10,そこでアルマは主に祈り求めて言った”われらの神なる主よ、ねがわくはこの人を憐み、そのキリストに対する信仰に応じてかれを医したまえ”と。
10 And then Alma cried unto the Lord, saying: O Lord our God, have amercy on this man, and bheal him according to his faith which is in Christ.
ｱﾙﾏ15,11,するとゼーズロムがたちまちとび上って歩き出したので、民は１人のこらずびっくりし、このような奇跡が行われたことがサイドムの全地に言いふらされた。
11 And when Alma had said these words, aZeezrom leaped upon his feet, and began to walk; and this was done to the great astonishment of all the people; and the knowledge of this went forth throughout all the land of Sidom.
ｱﾙﾏ15,12,アルマはゼーズロムにバプテスマを施して主の聖徒とし、それからそこの民の間に伝道を開始した。
12 And Alma baptized Zeezrom unto the Lord; and he began from that time forth to preach unto the people.
ｱﾙﾏ15,13,そしてアルマはついにサイドムの地に教会を設立し、誰でもバプテスマを受けたいと思う者はこれにバプテスマを施して主の聖徒とするために、祭司らと教師らとを聖任してその地に置いた。
13 And Alma established a church in the land of Sidom, and consecrated apriests and bteachers in the land, to baptize unto the Lord whosoever were desirous to be baptized.
ｱﾙﾏ15,14,バプテスマを受けたいと言う人は多く、サイドムの周囲にある各地から多くの人が集ってきてバプテスマを受けた。
14 And it came to pass that they were many; for they did flock in from all the region round about Sidom, and were baptized.
ｱﾙﾏ15,15,しかし、アモナイハ地に住む民はやはりまだその心がからくなで強情であったから、その罪を悔い改めず、アルマとアミュレクの権能はみな悪魔から来たものであるとしていた。なぜならばかれらはニーホル宗を信じて、その罪を悔い改める必要があると信じなかったか
15 But as to the people that were in the land of Ammonihah, they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people; and they repented not of their sins, aascribing all the power of Alma and Amulek to the devil; for they were of the profession of bNehor, and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.
ｱﾙﾏ15,16,アミュレクはかつて友人であった人たちからすてられ、また自分の父にも親戚にも見放され、アモナイハの地にある自分の金銀、貴重な品々をことごとく神の道のために見捨ててきた。
16 And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek, Amulek having aforsaken all his gold, and silver, and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah, for the word of God, he being brejected by those who were once his friends and also by his father and his kindred;
ｱﾙﾏ15,17,アルマはサイドムに教会を設立してから、民が慢心をよく抑えて神の御前にへりくだり、聖壇の前に神を礼拝するためたびたび聖堂に寄り集り、サタンと死と亡びから救われるようにたえず目を覚まして祈るようになったことを認めた。
17 Therefore, after Alma having established the church at Sidom, seeing a great acheck, yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts, and began to bhumble themselves before God, and began to assemble themselves together at their csanctuaries to dworship God before the ealtar, fwatching and praying continually, that they might be delivered from Satan, and from gdeath, and from destruction—
ｱﾙﾏ15,18,すでに私が示したようにアルマはこの様子を見て、アミュレクをつれてゼラヘムラの地へ帰り、自分の家にとめてかれが難儀な目に逢ったことを慰め必要なものを与えて、主に対する信仰を強め知識を深くしてやった。
18 Now as I said, Alma having seen all these things, therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla, and took him to his aown house, and did administer unto him in his tribulations, and bstrengthened him in the Lord.
ｱﾙﾏ15,19,このようにして、ニーファイの民を治める判事治世の１０年目は過ぎて行った。
19 And thus ended the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.
