1 Peter 4
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
キリスト肉體にて苦難を受け給ひたれば、汝らも亦おなじ心をもて自ら鎧へ。――肉體にて苦難を受くる者は罪を止むるなり――
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
これ今よりのち、人の慾に從はず、神の御意に從ひて、肉體に寓れる殘の時を過さん爲なり。
3 For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
なんぢら過ぎにし日は、異邦人の好む所をおこなひ、好色・慾 情・酩酊・宴樂・暴飮・律法にかなはぬ偶像 崇拜に歩みて、もはや足れり。
4 They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you.
彼らは汝らの己とともに放蕩の極に走らぬを怪しみて譏るなり。
5 They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
彼らは生ける者と死にたる者とを審く準備をなし給へる者に己のことを陳ぶべし。
6 For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
福音の死にたる者に宣傅へられしは、彼らが肉體にて人のごとく審かれ、靈にて神のごとく生きん爲なり。
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.
萬の物のをはり近づけり、然れば汝ら心を慥にし、愼みて祈せよ。
8 And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
何事よりも先づ互に熱く相 愛せよ。愛は多くの罪を掩へばなり。
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
また吝むことなく互に懇ろに待せ。
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
神のさまざまの恩惠を掌どる善き家 司のごとく、各人その受けし賜物をもて互に事へよ。
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
もし語るならば、神の言をかたる者のごとく語り、事ふるならば、神の與へたまふ能力を受けたる者のごとく事へよ。是イエス・キリストによりて事々に神の崇められ給はん爲なり。榮光と權力とは世々 限りなく彼に歸するなり、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
愛する者よ、汝らを試みんとて來れる火のごとき試煉を異なる事として怪しまず、
13 But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
反つてキリストの苦難に與れば、與るほど喜べ、なんぢら彼の榮光の顯れん時にも喜び樂しまん爲なり。
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
もし汝 等キリストの名のために謗られなば幸福なり。榮光の御靈すなはち神の御靈なんじらの上に留り給へばなり。
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters.
汝 等のうち誰にても或は殺人、あるひは盜人、あるひは惡を行ふ者、あるひは妄に他人の事に干渉する者となりて苦難に遭ふな。
16 But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.
されど若しキリステアンたるをもて苦難を受けなば、之を恥づることなく、反つて此の名によりて神を崇めよ。
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God?
既に時いたれり、審判は神の家より始るべし。まづ我等より始るとせば、神の福音に從はざる者のその結局は如何にぞや。
18 “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”
義人もし辛うじて救はるるならば、不 敬虔なるもの、罪ある者は何處にか立たん。
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
されば神の御意に從ひて苦難を受くる者は、善を行ひて己が靈魂を眞實なる造物主にゆだね奉るべし。
