コリント人への手紙第二 13

1 今や我三度汝等に至とす、二三の證人の口に由りて、凡ての事決せらるべし。

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2 既に告げし事ながら、今我其處に居らざれども居ると等しく、前に罪を犯しし人々及び他の凡ての人にも告ぐ、我再び至らば決して恕さじ。

I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;

3 汝等キリストの我に於て語り給ふ證據を求めんとすれば、キリストは汝等に向ひて弱く在さず、汝等の中に大いに能力あり。

since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty among you.

4 蓋弱きによりて十字架に釘けられ給ひしかど、神の力によりて活き給へばなり。即ち我等も彼に於て弱しと雖も、神の力によりて彼と共に汝等の中に活きんとす、

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live together with him by the power of God toward you.

5 汝等信仰に在るや否やを、自ら試み自ら證せよ、汝等の中にキリストの在す事を自ら知らざるか、或は非認せられたる者なるか、

Try yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless ye are unapproved?

6 我は我等の非認せられたる者に非ざるを汝等の知らん事を希望す。

But I trust that ye shall know, that we are not unapproved.

7 我等が神に祈るは、汝等の豪も惡を為さざらん事是なり。是我等の是認せられたる事の顕れん為に非ずして、假令我等は非認せらるとも、汝等が善事を行はん為なり。

Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not in order that we may appear approved, but that ye may do what is good, though we be as unapproved.

8 蓋我等は眞理の為に力あり、之に背きては何事も能はざればなり。

For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.

9 我は我等の弱く汝等の強きを喜ぶ、又我が祈る所は汝等の改善なり。

For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong; this also we pray for, even your perfection.

10 不在にして是等の事を書贈るは我が至らん時、亡ぼさん為ならで立てん為に主より賜りたる権力を以て、餘りに厳しくせざらんとてなり。

For this cause I write these things while absent, that when present I may not use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord gave me for edification, and not for destruction.

11 其外兄弟等よ、汝等喜び且完全にして、相慰め、心を同うして平和を保て、然らば平和と愛との神は汝等と共に在さん。

Finally, brethren, farewell! Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

12 聖なる接吻を以て互に宜しく言へ、

Salute one another with a holy kiss.

13 聖徒等皆汝等に宜しくと言へり。

All the saints salute you.

14 願はくは我主イエズス、キリストの恩寵と、神の寵愛と、聖霊の交際と、汝等一同と共に在らん事を、アメン。

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the partaking of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
