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 servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine may 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。
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
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 any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and 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 proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, 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。
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
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 this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 衣食だにあらば、我等は其にて満足すべし。
And having food and raiment with these let us be content.
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 they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
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 the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and 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 thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before 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 thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a 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 thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, 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、
Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things 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, ready to distribute, willing to share;
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 on eternal 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、
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science 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 thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
