2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
この故に我ら憐憫を蒙りて此の職を受けたれば、落膽せず、
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
恥づべき隱れたる事をすて、惡巧に歩まず、神の言をみださず、眞理を顯して神の前に己を凡ての人の良心に薦むるなり。
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
もし我らの福音おほはれ居らば、亡ぶる者に覆はれをるなり。
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
この世の神は此 等の不 信者の心を暗まして、神の像なるキリストの榮光の福音の光を照さざらしめたり。 (aiōn g165)
5 For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
我らは己の事を宣べず、ただキリスト・イエスの主たる事と、我らがイエスのために汝らの僕たる事とを宣ぶ。
6 seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
光、暗より照り出でよと宣ひし神は、イエス・キリストの顏にある神の榮光を知る知識を輝かしめんために、我らの心を照し給へるなり。
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
我等この寶を土の器に有てり、これ優れて大なる能力の我等より出でずして、神より出づることの顯れんためなり。
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
われら四方より患難を受くれども窮せず、爲ん方つくれども希望を失はず、
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
責めらるれども棄てられず、倒さるれども亡びず、
10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
常にイエスの死を我らの身に負ふ。これイエスの生命の我らの身にあらはれん爲なり。
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
それ我ら生ける者の常にイエスのため死に付さるるは、イエスの生命の我らの死ぬべき肉體にあらはれん爲なり。
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
さらば死は我等のうちに働き、生命は汝 等のうちに働くなり。
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
録して『われ信ずるによりて語れり』とあるごとく、我等にも同じ信仰の靈あり、信ずるに因りて語るなり。
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
これ主イエスを甦へらせ給ひし者の我等をもイエスと共に甦へらせ、汝らと共に立たしめ給ふことを我ら知ればなり。
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
凡ての事は汝らの益なり。これ多くの人によりて御惠の増し加はり、感謝いや増りて神の榮光の顯れん爲なり。
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
この故に我らは落膽せず、我らが外なる人は壞るれども、内なる人は日々に新なり。
