テモテへの手紙第一 6
1 総て軛の下に在る奴隷は、其主人を全く尊ぶべきものと思ふべし、是主の御名と教との罵られざらん為なり。
Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
2 信徒たる主人を有てる者は、兄弟なりとて之を軽んずべからず、却て慈善を共にせる者が信徒にして己之に愛せらるるにより、一層善く事ふべし。是等の事を教へ且勧めよ。
Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
3 第三項 結末の教訓 人ありて、若異なる事を教へ、我主イエズス、キリストの健全なる談話と敬虔に適へる教とに服せずば、
If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 是何事をも識らずして自ら驕り、病的に議論と言争とを好む者なり、是より起るは嫉妬、口論、侮辱、邪推、
he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 又精神腐敗し眞理缺乏して、敬虔を利益の道なりと思ふ人々の争等なり。
constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6 抑足る事を知れる敬虔こそは大いなる利益の道なれ、
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 其は我等が此世に來りし時何物をも携へざりしかば、去る時亦何物をも取る能はざるは疑なき所なればなり。
For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
8 衣食だにあらば、我等は其にて満足すべし。
But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 蓋富まんと欲する人々は、誘惑と惡魔の罠とに陥り、人を堕落と滅亡とに沈むる、愚にして有害なる種々の慾望に陥る。
But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 即ち利慾は一切の惡事の根なり、或人々は之が為に信仰に遠ざかりて迷ひ、多くの苦を以て己を刺貫けり。
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 然れど神の人よ、汝は是等の事を避けて、正義、敬虔、信仰、慈愛、忍耐、柔和を求め、
But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 我萬物を活かし給ふ神の御前、及びポンシオ、ピラトの時に立證して善き宣言を為し給ひしキリスト、イエズスの御前に、汝に命ず、
I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
14 我主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ふまで、穢なく咎なく掟を守れ、
that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 其時期至りては、至福唯一の主権者、諸王の王、総て主たる者の主はイエズス、キリストを顕し給はんとす、
which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
18 善を為して善業に富める者と成り、快く施し且分與へ、
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 眞の生命を捉ふる様、将來の為に善き資本を蓄へん事を。
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.
20 嗚呼チモテオよ、托せられしものを守りて、世俗の空言と有名無實なる學識の反論とを避けよ、
Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
21 或人々は之を粧ひて信仰の的を外れたるなり。願はくは恩寵汝と共に在らん事を、アメン。
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
