Romans 14
1 Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to [the] determining of questions of reasoning.
第三款 信仰の弱き信徒に對する方法 信仰の弱き人を承くるに親切を以てし、思ふ所を争ふこと勿れ。
2 One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.
蓋或人は凡ての物を食するを善しとするに、弱き人は野菜を食す。
3 Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
食する人は食せざる人を軽んずべからず、食せざる人も亦食する人を是非すべからず、其は神は人を承容れ給ひたればなり。
4 Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.
汝誰なれば他に属する僕を是非するぞ、立つも倒るるも、其主に係はる事なり。但必ずや立つならん、其は神は之を立たしむる事を得給へばなり。
5 One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day [alike]. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
或人は日と日とを弁別するに、他の人は如何なる日をも同一にす、各其料簡に随ふべきのみ。
6 He that regards the day, regards it to [the] Lord. And he that eats, eats to [the] Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, [it is] to [the] Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
日を区別する人は主の為に之を区別し、食する人も主の為に食す、其は神に感謝すればなり。食せざる人も主の為に食せずして亦神に感謝す。
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
蓋我等の中に己の為に活くる者なく、己の為に死する者なし、
8 For both if we should live, [it is] to the Lord we live; and if we should die, [it is] to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
其は我等は活くるも主の為に活き、死するも主の為に死すればなり。故に我等は活くるも死するも主の有なり。
9 For to this [end] Christ has died and lived [again], that he might rule over both dead and living.
蓋キリストの死して復活し給ひしは、死者と生者とを司り給はんが為なり。
10 But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
然るに汝何故に兄弟を是非するぞ、何故に兄弟を軽んずるぞ、我等は皆神の法廷に立つべき者なるをや。
11 For it is written, I live, saith [the] Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
録して、「主曰く、我は活くるなり、凡ての膝我前に屈まり、凡ての舌神を宣言するに至らん」、とあるが如し、
12 So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.
即ち我等は各己の事を神に糺さるべし。
13 Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.
然れば我等互に罪を定むべからず、寧汝等兄弟の前に、躓かすべきもの、或は罠となるものを置かざらん事を定めよ。
14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man [it is] unclean.
我は主イエズスに於て知り且確信す、何物も彼によりて自ら潔からざるはなく、其潔からざるは、潔からずと思ふ人に於てのみ。
15 For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.
若食物の為に汝の兄弟を憂ひしむれば、汝は既に愛に從ひて歩む者に非ず、キリストの死して贖ひ給ひし人を、食物の為に亡ぼすこと勿れ。
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
然れば我等の有てる善きものは罵らるべかず、
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in [the] Holy Spirit.
其は神の國は飲食にあるに非ずして、聖霊に由れる義と平和と歓とに在ればなり。
18 For he that in this serves the Christ [is] acceptable to God and approved of men.
蓋之を以てキリストに事ふる人は神の御意に適ひ、人々にも善しとせらるるなり。
19 So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.
故に我等は平和の事を追求して、人の徳を立つべき事を互に守るべきなり。
20 For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed [are] pure; but [it is] evil to that man who eats while stumbling [in doing so].
食物の為に神の事業を亡ぼすこと勿れ、凡ての物は潔しと雖も、食して躓かする人には惡となる。
21 [It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.
肉食、飲酒、其他汝の兄弟の或は心を痛め、或は躓き、或は弱くなる事を為ざるを善しとす。
22 Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Blessed [is] he who does not judge himself in what he allows.
汝に[確]信あらんか、之を神の御前に我が身の中に保て。善しとする事に就きて己を咎めざる人は福なり、
23 But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because [it is] not of faith; but whatever [is] not of faith is sin.
然れど疑ひつつ食したる時は罪せらる、其は[確]信によりて為ざればなり、総て[確]信に由らざる事は罪なり。
