1 Timothy 6

1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.

総て軛の下に在る奴隷は、其主人を全く尊ぶべきものと思ふべし、是主の御名と教との罵られざらん為なり。

2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

信徒たる主人を有てる者は、兄弟なりとて之を軽んずべからず、却て慈善を共にせる者が信徒にして己之に愛せらるるにより、一層善く事ふべし。是等の事を教へ且勧めよ。

3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

第三項 結末の教訓 人ありて、若異なる事を教へ、我主イエズス、キリストの健全なる談話と敬虔に適へる教とに服せずば、

4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

是何事をも識らずして自ら驕り、病的に議論と言争とを好む者なり、是より起るは嫉妬、口論、侮辱、邪推、

5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

又精神腐敗し眞理缺乏して、敬虔を利益の道なりと思ふ人々の争等なり。

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

抑足る事を知れる敬虔こそは大いなる利益の道なれ、

7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

其は我等が此世に來りし時何物をも携へざりしかば、去る時亦何物をも取る能はざるは疑なき所なればなり。

8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

衣食だにあらば、我等は其にて満足すべし。

9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

蓋富まんと欲する人々は、誘惑と惡魔の罠とに陥り、人を堕落と滅亡とに沈むる、愚にして有害なる種々の慾望に陥る。

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

即ち利慾は一切の惡事の根なり、或人々は之が為に信仰に遠ざかりて迷ひ、多くの苦を以て己を刺貫けり。

11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

然れど神の人よ、汝は是等の事を避けて、正義、敬虔、信仰、慈愛、忍耐、柔和を求め、

12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

信仰の善き戰を戰ひて永遠の生命を捉へよ。其は之に召されて、多くの證人の前に之が為に善き宣言を為したればなり。 (aiōnios g166)

13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

我萬物を活かし給ふ神の御前、及びポンシオ、ピラトの時に立證して善き宣言を為し給ひしキリスト、イエズスの御前に、汝に命ず、

14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

我主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ふまで、穢なく咎なく掟を守れ、

15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

其時期至りては、至福唯一の主権者、諸王の王、総て主たる者の主はイエズス、キリストを顕し給はんとす、

16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

彼は獨不死を有し、近づくべからざる光に住み給ひ、一人も曾て見奉りし事なく又見奉る能はざる者に在し、尊榮と永遠の権能と之に歸す、アメン。 (aiōnios g166)

17 Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)

汝此世の富者に命ぜよ、驕る事なく、確ならぬ富を恃まず、快樂の為にも萬物を豊に供給し給ふ活き給へる神を頼み奉り、 (aiōn g165)

18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

善を為して善業に富める者と成り、快く施し且分與へ、

19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

眞の生命を捉ふる様、将來の為に善き資本を蓄へん事を。

20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

嗚呼チモテオよ、托せられしものを守りて、世俗の空言と有名無實なる學識の反論とを避けよ、

21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

或人々は之を粧ひて信仰の的を外れたるなり。願はくは恩寵汝と共に在らん事を、アメン。
