2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
蓋我等は、幕屋なる我が地上の住處破るれば、人の手に成らずして神より賜はれる住處、永遠の家が我等の為に天に在る事を知る。 (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
即ち我等はこの住處に在りて嘆きつつ、此儘にして天よりの住處を上に着せられん事を希ふ。
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
是既に着たるものにして裸にて見出されずば誠に然あるべし。
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
蓋我等が此幕屋に在りて、壓迫を蒙りて歎くは、是剥がるるを好まず、却て此上に着せられ、死すべき部分を直に生命に呑入れられん事を欲すればなり。
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
之が為に我等を造り給へる者は即ち神に在し、之が保證として[聖]霊を我等に賜ひたるなり。
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
然れば我等は何時も憶する事なく、此肉體に在る間は主に離れて流浪する者なる事を知りて、
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
現に像を見ず信仰を以て歩む者なれば、
8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
敢えて憶する事なく、寧肉體を離れて主に侍らん事を欲す。
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
然れば肉體に在るも之を離るるも御意に適はん事を勉む、
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
其は我等皆キリストの法廷に於て顕れ、或は善、或は惡、各肉體に在りて為しし所に報いらるべければなり。
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
第四項 使徒たる者の生活 斯の如く、我等は主の畏れ奉るべき事を知人々を勧む。我等は明に神に知られたれば、汝等の良心にも明に知られたるべき事を信ず。
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
我等は又汝等の前に己を立つる者に非ず、唯我等を以て誇となす機會を汝等に與へんとす、是心にならで面に誇れる人々に答ふる事を得させん為なり。
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
即ち我等が浮るるも神の為、己が事を謙遜に語るも亦汝等の為なり。
14 For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
蓋キリストの寵我等に迫れり、我等想へらく、凡ての人の為に一人死し給ひしなれば、是凡ての人死したるなり。
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
又キリストが（凡ての人の為に）死し給ひしは、活ける人をして最早己が為に活きず、寧己等の為に死し且復活し給ひし者の為に活きしめんとてなり。
16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
故に今より後我等は人を肉身によりて知らず、曾てはキリストを肉身によりて知りたりとも、今は最早斯の如くにして知るに非ず。
17 Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
人若キリストに在れば、新に造られたる者となりて、舊き所は既に過去り、何事も新になりたるなり。
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus (the) Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
是等の事は皆神より出づ、即ち神はキリストを以て我等を己と和睦せしめ、且和睦の務を我等に授け給へり。
19 namely, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
蓋神はキリストの中に在して世を己と和睦せしめ、又人々に其罪を負はせず、我等に委ぬるに和睦の言を以てし給へり。
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.
然れば我等はキリストの為に使節たり、恰も神が我等を以て汝等に勧め給ふに齊し。キリストに代りて希ふ、神と和睦し奉れ。
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
罪を知り給はざる者を我等の為に罪と見做し給ひしは、我等がキリストに於て神の義とせられん為なり。
