1 Corinthians 9
1 Am I not an Apostle? am I not fre? have I not sene Iesus Christ oure lorde?
我は自主の者ならずや、使徒にあらずや、我らの主イエスを見しにあらずや、汝らは主に在りて我が業ならずや。
2 Are not ye my worke in the lorde. Yf I be not an Apostle vnto other yet am I vnto you. For the seale of myne Apostleshippe are ye in the lorde.
われ他の人には使徒ならずとも汝らには使徒なり。汝らは主にありて我が使徒たる職の印なればなり。
3 Myne answer to them that axe me is this.
われを審く者に對する我が辯明は斯くのごとし。
4 Have we not power to eate and to drynke?
我らは飮食する權なきか。
5 Ether have we not power to leade about a sister to wyfe as wel as other Apostles and as the brethren of the lorde and Cephas?
我らは他の使徒たち主の兄弟たち及びケパのごとく、姉妹たる妻を携ふる權なきか。
6 Ether only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?
ただ我とバルナバとのみ工を止むる權なきか。
7 who goeth a warfare eny tyme at his awne cost? who planteth a vynearde and eateth not of the frute? Who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylke?
誰か己の財にて兵卒を務むる者あらんや。誰か葡萄畑を作りてその果を食はぬ者あらんや。誰か群を牧ひてその乳を飮まぬ者あらんや。
8 Saye I these thinges after the manner of men? Or sayth not the lawe the same also?
我ただ人の思にのみ由りて此 等のことを言はんや、律法も亦かく言ふにあらずや。
9 For it ys written in the lawe of Moses. Thou shall not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for oxen?
モーセの律法に『穀物を碾す牛には口籠を繋くべからず』と録したり。神は牛のために慮ぱかり給へるか、
10 Ether sayth he it not all to gedder for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he which eareth shuld eare in hope: and that he which thressheth in hope shuld be parttaker of his hope.
また專ら我等のために之を言ひ給ひしか、然り、我らのために録されたり。それ耕す者は望をもて耕し、穀物をこなす者は之に與る望をもて碾すべきなり。
11 Yf we sowe vnto you spirituall thynges: is it a greate thynge yf we reepe youre carnall thynges
もし我ら靈の物を汝らに蒔きしならば、汝らの肉の物を刈り取るは過分ならんや。
12 Yf other be parttakers of this power over you? wherfore are not we rather. Neverthelesse we have not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges lest we shuld hynder the gospell of Christ.
もし他の人なんぢらに對してこの權あらんには、まして我らをや。然れど我等はこの權を用ひざりき。唯キリストの福音に障碍なきやうに一切のことを忍ぶなり。
13 Do ye not vnderstoder how that they which minister in the temple have their fyndynge of the temple? And they which wayte at the aulter are partakers with ye aultre?
なんぢら知らぬか、聖なる事を務むる者は宮のものを食し、祭壇に事ふる者は祭壇のものに與るを。
14 Even so also dyd ye lorde ordayne that they which preache ye gospell shuld live of the gospell.
斯くのごとく主もまた福音を宣傳ふる者の福音によりて生活すべきことを定め給へり。
15 But I have vsed none of these thinges. Nether wrote I these thinges that it shuld be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye the yt eny man shnld take this reioysinge from me
されど我は此 等のことを一つだに用ひし事なし、また自ら斯くせられんために之を書き贈るにあらず、斯くせられんよりは寧ろ死ぬるを善しとすればなり。誰もわが誇を空しくせざるべし。
16 In that I preache the gospell I have nothinge to reioyce of. For necessite is put vnto me. Wo is it vnto me yf I preache not the gospell.
われ福音を宣傳ふとも誇るべき所なし、已むを得ざるなり。もし福音を宣傳へずば、我は禍害なるかな。
17 If I do it with a good will I have a rewarde. But yf I do it agaynst my will an office is committed vnto me.
若しわれ心より之をなさば報を得ん、たとひ心ならずとも我はその務を委ねられたり。
18 What is my rewarde then? Verely that whe I preache the gospell I make the gospell of Christ fre yt I misvse not myne auctorite in ye gospel
然らば我が報は何ぞ、福音を宣傳ふるに、人をして費なく福音を得しめ、而も福音によりて我が有てる權を用ひ盡さぬこと是なり。
19 For though I be fre from all men yet have I made my silfe servaunt vnto all men that I myght wynne the moo.
われ凡ての人に對して自主の者なれど、更に多くの人を得んために、自ら凡ての人の奴隷となれり。
20 Vnto the Iewes I became as a Iewe to winne ye Iewes. To the that were vnder the lawe was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe to wynne the that were vnder the lawe.
我ユダヤ人にはユダヤ人の如くなれり、これユダヤ人を得んが爲なり。律法の下にある者には――律法の下に我はあらねど――律法の下にある者の如くなれり。これ律法の下にある者を得んが爲なり。
21 To them that were without lawe be ca I as though I had bene without lawe (whe I was not without lawe as perteyninge to god but vnder a lawe as concerninge Christ) to wynne the that were without lawe.
律法なき者には――われ神に向ひて律法なきにあらず、反つてキリストの律法の下にあれど――律法なき者の如くなれり、これ律法なき者を得んがためなり。
22 To the weake became I as weake to wynne the weake. In all thinge I fassioned my silfe to all men to save at ye lest waye some.
弱き者には弱き者となれり、これ弱き者を得んためなり。我すべての人には凡ての人の状に從へり、これ如何にもして幾許かの人を救はんためなり。
23 And this I do for the gospels sake that I might have my parte therof.
われ福音のために凡ての事をなす、これ我も共に福音に與らん爲なり。
24 Perceave ye not how that they which runne in a course runne all yet but one receaveth the rewarde. So runne that ye maye obtayne.
なんぢら知らぬか、馳場を走る者はみな走れども、褒美を得る者の、ただ一人なるを。汝らも得んために斯く走れ。
25 Euery man yt proveth masteryes abstaineth from all thinges. And they do it to obtayne a corruptible croune: but we to obtayne an vncorruptible croune:
すべて勝を爭ふ者は何事をも節し愼む、彼らは朽つる冠冕を得んが爲なれど、我らは朽ちぬ冠冕を得んがために之をなすなり。
26 I therfore so runne not as at an vncertayne thinge. So fyght I not as one yt beateth the ayer:
斯く我が走るは目標なきが如きにあらず、我が拳鬪するは空を撃つが如きにあらず。
27 but I tame my body and bringe it into subieccio lest after that I have preached to other I my silfe shuld be a castawaye.
わが體を打ち擲きて之を服從せしむ。恐らくは他人に宣傳へて自ら棄てらるる事あらん。
