Romans 9
1 I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost
我キリストに在りて眞をいひ虚僞を言はず、
2 that I have gret hevynes and continuall sorowe in my hert.
我に大なる憂あることと心に絶えざる痛あることとを、我が良心も聖 靈によりて證す。
3 For I have wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren and my kynsmen as pertayninge to the flesshe
もし我が兄弟わが骨肉の爲にならんには、我みづから詛はれてキリストに棄てらるるも亦ねがふ所なり。
4 which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcion and the glorie and the covenauntes and the law that was geven and the service of God and the promyses:
彼 等はイスラエル人にして、彼らには神の子とせられたることと、榮光と、もろもろの契約と、授けられたる律法と、禮拜と、もろもろの約束とあり。
5 whose also are the fathers and they of whome (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came which is God over all thinges blessed for ever Amen. (aiōn g165)
先祖たちも彼 等のものなり、肉によれば、キリストも彼 等より出で給ひたり。キリストは萬物の上にあり、永遠に讃むべき神なり、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
6 I speake not these thinges as though the wordes of god had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel:
それ神の言は廢りたるに非ず。イスラエルより出づる者みなイスラエルなるに非ず。
7 nether are they all chyldren strayght waye because they are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seede be called:
また彼 等はアブラハムの裔なればとて皆その子たるに非ず『イサクより出づる者は、なんぢの裔と稱へらるべし』とあり。
8 that is to saye they which are the chyldren of the flesshe are not the chyldren of god. But the chyldren of promes are counted the seede.
即ち肉の子らは神の子らにあらず、ただ約束の子 等のみ其の裔と認めらるるなり。
9 For this is a worde of promes aboute this tyme will I come and Sara shall have a sonne.
約束の御言は是なり、曰く『時ふたたび巡り來らば、我きたりてサラに男子あらん』と。
10 Nether was it so wt her only: but also when Rebecca was with chylde by one I meane by oure father Isaac
然のみならず、レベカも我らの先祖イサク一人によりて孕りたる時、
11 yeer the chyldren were borne when they had nether done good nether bad: that the purpose of God which is by election myght stonde
その子いまだ生れず、善も惡もなさぬ間に、神の選の御旨は動かず、
12 it was sayde vnto her not by the reason of workes but by grace of ye caller: the elder shall serve the yonger.
行爲によらで召す者によらん爲に『兄は次弟に事ふべし』とレベカに宣へり。
13 As it is written: Iacob he loved but Esau he hated.
『われヤコブを愛しエザウを憎めり』と録されたる如し。
14 What shall we saye then? is there eny vnrightewesses with God? God forbyd.
さらば何をか言はん、神には不義あるか。決して然らず。
15 For he sayth to Moses: I will shewe mercye to who I shewe mercy: and will have compassion on whom I have copassion.
モーセに言ひ給ふ『われ憐まんとする者をあはれみ、慈悲を施さんとする者に慈悲を施すべし』と。
16 So lieth it not then in a mans will or cunnynge but in ye mercye of god.
されば欲する者にも由らず、走る者にも由らず、ただ憐みたまふ神に由るなり。
17 For the scripture sayth vnto Pharao: Even for this same purpose have I stered ye vp to shewe my power on ye and that my name myght be declared thorow out all the worlde.
パロにつきて聖書に言ひ給ふ『わが汝を起したるは此の爲なり、即ち我が能力を汝によりて顯し、且わが名の全世界に傳へられん爲なり』と。
18 So hath he mercye on whom he will and whom he will he maketh hearde herted.
されば神はその憐まんと欲する者を憐み、その頑固にせんと欲する者を頑固にし給ふなり。
19 Thou wilt saye then vnto me: why then blameth he vs yet? For who can resist his will?
さらば汝あるいは我に言はん『神なんぞなほ人を咎め給ふか、誰かその御定に悖る者あらん』
20 But o man what arte thou which disputest with God? Shall the worke saye to the workeman: why hast thou made me on this fassion?
ああ人よ、なんぢ誰なれば神に言ひ逆ふか、造られしもの造りたる者に對ひて『なんぢ何ぞ我を斯く造りし』と言ふべきか。
21 Hath not the potter power over the claye even of the same lompe to make one vessell vnto honoure and a nother vnto dishonoure?
陶工は同じ土塊をもて、此を貴きに用ふる器とし、彼を賤しきに用ふる器とするの權なからんや。
22 Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion
もし神、怒をあらはし權力を示さんと思しつつも、なほ大なる寛容をもて、滅亡に備れる怒の器を忍び、
23 that he myght declare ye ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercye which he had prepayred vnto glorie:
また光榮のために預じめ備へ給ひし憐憫の器に對ひて、その榮光の富を示さんとし給ひしならば如何に。
24 that is to saye vs which he called not of the Iewes only but also of ye gentyls.
この憐憫の器は我等にして、ユダヤ人の中よりのみならず、異邦人の中よりも召し給ひしものなり。
25 As he sayth in Osee: I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved.
ホゼヤの書に『我わが民たらざる者を我が民と呼び、愛せられざる者を愛せらるる者と呼ばん、
26 And it shall come to passe in the place where it was sayd vnto them ye are not my people: that there shalbe called the chyldren of the lyvynge God.
「なんぢら我が民にあらず」と言ひし處にて、彼らは活ける神の子と呼ばるべし』と宣へる如し。
27 But Esaias cryeth concernynge Israel though the nomber of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see yet shall a remnaut be saved.
イザヤもイスラエルに就きて叫べり『イスラエルの子孫の數は海の砂のごとくなりとも、救はるるはただ殘の者のみならん。
28 He finyssheth the worde verely and maketh it short in ryghtwesses. For a short worde will god make on erth.
主、地の上に御言をなし了へ、これを遂げ、これを速かにし給はん』
29 And as Esaias sayd before: Except the Lorde of sabaoth had left us seede we had bene made as Zodoma and had bene lykened to Gomorra.
また『萬軍の主われらに裔を遺し給はずば、我等ソドムの如くになり、ゴモラと等しかりしならん』とイザヤの預言せしが如し。
30 What shall we saye then? We saye that the gentyls which followed not rightewesnes have overtaken rightewesnes: I meane the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.
然らば何をか言はん、義を追ひ求めざりし異邦人は義を得たり、即ち信仰による義なり。
31 But Israel which folowed the lawe of rightewesnes coulde not attayne vnto ye lawe of rightewesnes.
イスラエルは義の律法を追ひ求めたれど、その律法に到らざりき。
32 And wherfore? Because they sought it not by fath: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they have stombled at the stomblynge stone.
何の故か、かれらは信仰によらず、行爲によりて追ひ求めたる故なり。彼らは躓く石に躓きたり。
33 As it is written: Beholde I put in Syon a stomblynge stone and a rocke which shall make men faule. And none yt beleve on him shalbe a shamed.
録して『視よ、我つまづく石さまたぐる岩をシオンに置く、之に依頼む者は辱しめられじ』とあるが如し。
