テモテへの手紙第一 1
1 我救主にて在す神及び我等が希望にて在すキリスト、イエズスの命によりてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、信仰上の實子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus—by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope, —
2 願はくは父にて在す神及び我主キリスト、イエズスより恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらん事を。
unto Timothy, my true child in faith: favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 第一項 教會の為に善く戰ふべし 第一編 教會の為に要求する所 我曾てマケドニアに往きし時汝に願ひし如く、汝はエフェゾに留り、或人々に命じて異なる事を教へざらしめ、
Even as I exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some—
4 且信仰に基ける神の道を立つるにはあらで却て様々の議論を起さする寓言と、究極なき系圖とに從事する事なからしめよ。
Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, —the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; —
5 抑此命令の目的は、潔き心と善き良心と偽なき信仰とに出づる愛なり。
Now, the end of the charge, is love—out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, —
6 然れども彼人々は、是等の事に外れて無益なる談話に移り、
Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,
7 自ら律法の教師たらんと欲して、其言ふ所をも断言する所をも覚らざるなり。
Desiring to be law-teachers, —not understanding, either what they say or whereof they confidently affirm.
8 然れども我等、律法は人正しく之を用ふれば善きものなることを知れり。
Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: —
9 律法の設けられしは義人の為に非ずして、不法人、反抗者、不敬者、罪人、無宗教者、卑俗者、父を殺す者、母を殺す者、殺人者、
Knowing this—that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,
10 私通者、男色者、誘拐者、虚言者、偽證者、及び健全なる教に反する他の一切の事の為なりと知るべきなり、
fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, —and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; —
11 我に委られたる至福に在す神の光榮の福音に在るが如し。
According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.
12 我を堅固ならしめ給ひし我主キリスト、イエズスに感謝し奉る。其は我を聖役に任じて忠信なる者とし給ひたればなり。
Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, —
13 即ち我曩には冒涜者、迫害者、侮辱者たりしかど、信ぜざる時知らずして為ししが故に、慈悲を蒙りて、
Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:
14 キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰及び愛と共に、我主の恩寵身に餘れり。
Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
15 眞實にして全く信ずべき談なる哉、キリスト、イエズスの世に來り給ひしは罪人を救はん為なる事。我は其罪人の第一なり。
Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy, —that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I;—
Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, —that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Now, unto the King of the ages, —incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen! (aiōn g165)
18 我子チモテオよ、汝に関はれる豫ての預言に從ひ、此命令を汝に寄す、之に應じて善き戰を戰ひ、
This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.
19 信仰と善き良心とを保て。或人々は之を棄て、信仰に就きて破船せしが、
Holding faith and a good conscience, —which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: —
20 其中にヒメネオとアレキサンデルと在りしを、冒涜せざる事を學ばしめんとて我之をサタンに付せり。
Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.
