ローマ人への手紙 1
1 キリスト・イエスの僕、召されて使徒となり、神の福音のために選び別たれたるパウロ――
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God,
2 この福音は神その預言者たちにより、聖書の中に預じめ御子に就きて約し給ひしものなり。
which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures,
3 御子は肉によれば、ダビデの裔より生れ、
about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 潔き靈によれば、死人の復活により大能をもて神の子と定められ給へり、即ち我らの主イエス・キリストなり。
the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 我等その御名の爲にもろもろの國人を信仰に從順ならしめんとて、彼より恩惠と使徒の職とを受けたり。
through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles,
6 汝 等もその中にあり、てイエス・キリストの有とならん爲に召されたるなり。――
from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:
7 われ書をロマに在りて神に愛せられ、召されて聖徒となりたる凡ての者に贈る。願はくは我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。
To all who are at Rome, the beloved of God, called as saints. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 汝らの信仰、全世界に言ひ傳へられたれば、我まづ汝ら一同の爲にイエス・キリストによりて我が神に感謝す。
Certainly, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, first for all of you, because your faith is being announced throughout the entire world.
9 その御子の福音に於て我が靈をもて事ふる神は、わが絶えず祈のうちに汝らを覺え、
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit by the Gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I have kept a remembrance of you
10 如何にしてか御意に適ひ、いつか汝らに到るべき途を得んと、常に冀がふことを我がために證し給ふなり。
always in my prayers, pleading that in some way, at some time, I may have a prosperous journey, within the will of God, to come to you.
11 われ汝らを見んことを切に望むは、汝らの堅うせられん爲に靈の賜物を分け與へんとてなり。
For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you a certain spiritual grace to strengthen you,
12 即ち我なんぢらの中にありて、互の信仰により相 共に慰められん爲なり。
specifically, to be consoled together with you through that which is mutual: your faith and mine.
13 兄弟よ、我ほかの異邦人の中より得しごとく、汝らの中よりも實を得んとて、屡次なんぢらに往かんとしたれど、今に至りてなほ妨げらる、此の事を汝らの知らざるを欲せず。
But I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you, (though I have been hindered even to the present time) so that I might obtain some fruit among you also, just as also among the other Gentiles.
14 我はギリシヤ人にも夷人にも、智き者にも愚なる者にも負債あり。
To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.
15 この故に我はロマに在る汝らにも福音を宣傳へんことを頻りに願ふなり。
So within me there is a prompting to evangelize to you also who are at Rome.
16 我は福音を恥とせず、この福音はユダヤ人を始めギリシヤ人にも、凡て信ずる者に救を得さする神の力たればなり。
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.
17 神の義はその福音のうちに顯れ、信仰より出でて信仰に進ましむ。録して『義人は信仰によりて生くべし』とある如し。
For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”
18 それ神の怒は、不義をもて眞理を阻む人の、もろもろの不虔と不義とに對ひて天より顯る。
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven over every impiety and injustice among those men who fend off the truth of God with injustice.
19 その故は、神につきて知り得べきことは彼らに顯著なればなり、神これを顯し給へり。
For what is known about God is manifest in them. For God has manifested it to them.
For unseen things about him have been made conspicuous, since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that were made; likewise his everlasting virtue and divinity, so much so that they have no excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 神を知りつつも尚これを神として崇めず、感謝せず、その念は虚しく、その愚なる心は暗くなれり。
For although they had known God, they did not glorify God, nor give thanks. Instead, they became weakened in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was obscured.
22 自ら智しと稱へて愚となり、
For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish.
23 朽つることなき神の榮光を易へて、朽つべき人および禽獸・匍ふ物に似たる像となす。
And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents.
24 この故に神は彼らを其の心の慾にまかせて、互にその身を辱しむる汚穢に付し給へり。
For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves.
And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 之によりて神は彼らを恥づべき慾に付し給へり。即ち女は順性の用を易へて逆性の用となし、
Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.
27 男もまた同じく女の順性の用を棄てて互に情 慾を熾し、男と男と恥づることを行ひて、その迷に値すべき報を己が身に受けたり。
And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.
28 また神を心に存むるを善しとせざれば、神もその邪曲なる心の隨に爲まじき事をするに任せ給へり。
And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:
29 即ちもろもろの不義・惡・慳貪・惡意にて滿つる者、また嫉妬・殺意・紛爭・詭計・惡念の溢るる者、
having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping;
30 讒言する者・謗る者・神に憎まるる者・侮る者・高ぶる者・誇る者・惡事を企つる者・父母に逆ふ者、
slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 無知・違約・無情・無 慈悲なる者にして、
foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 かかる事どもを行ふ者の死罪に當るべき神の定を知りながら、啻に自己これらの事を行ふのみならず、また人の之を行ふを可しとせり。
And these, though they had known the justice of God, did not understand that those who act in such a manner are deserving of death, and not only those who do these things, but also those who consent to what is done.
