テモテへの手紙第二 1
1 神の御意により、キリスト・イエスにある生命の約束に循ひて、キリスト・イエスの使徒になれるパウロ、
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 書を我が愛する子テモテに贈る。願はくは父なる神および我らの主キリスト・イエスより賜ふ、恩惠と憐憫と平安と汝に在らんことを。
to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 われ夜も晝も祈の中に絶えず汝を思ひて、わが先祖に效ひ清き良心をもて事ふる神に感謝す。
I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,
4 我なんぢの涙を憶え、わが歡喜の滿ちん爲に汝を見んことを欲す。
desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
5 是なんぢに在る虚僞なき信仰をおもひ出すに因りてなり。その信仰の曩に汝の祖母ロイス及び母ユニケに宿りしごとく、汝にも然るを確信す。
calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.
6 この故に、わが按手に因りて汝の内に得たる神の賜物をますます熾にせんことを勸む。
Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
7 そは神の我らに賜ひたるは、臆する靈にあらず、能力と愛と謹愼との靈なればなり。
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
8 されば汝われらの主の證をなす事と、主の囚人たる我とを恥とすな、ただ神の能力に隨ひて福音のために我とともに苦難を忍べ。
And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time. (aiōnios g166)
10 この恩惠は今われらの救主キリスト・イエスの現れ給ふに因りて顯れたり。彼は死をほろぼし、福音をもて生命と朽ちざる事とを明かにし給へり。
And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.
11 我はこの福音のために立てられて宣傳者・使徒・教師となれり。
Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 之がために我これらの苦難に遭ふ。されど之を恥とせず、我わが依頼む者を知り、且わが委ねたる者を、かの日に至るまで守り得給ふことを確信すればなり。
For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.
13 汝キリスト・イエスにある信仰と愛とをもて我より聽きし健全なる言の模範を保ち、
Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 かつ委ねられたる善きものを我等のうちに宿りたまふ聖 靈に頼りて守るべし。
Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.
15 アジヤに居る者みな我を棄てしは汝の知る所なり、その中にフゲロとヘルモゲネとあり。
Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
16 願はくは主オネシポロの家に憐憫を賜はんことを。彼はしばしば我を慰め、又わが鎖を恥とせず。
May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.
17 そのロマに居りし時には懇ろに尋ね來りて、遂に逢ひたり。
Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.
18 願はくは主かの日にいたり主の憐憫を彼に賜はんことを、彼がエペソにて我に事へしことの如何ばかりなりしかは、汝の能く知るところなり。
May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.
