コリント人への手紙第二 5
For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 即ち我等はこの住處に在りて嘆きつつ、此儘にして天よりの住處を上に着せられん事を希ふ。
For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
3 是既に着たるものにして裸にて見出されずば誠に然あるべし。
if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 蓋我等が此幕屋に在りて、壓迫を蒙りて歎くは、是剥がるるを好まず、却て此上に着せられ、死すべき部分を直に生命に呑入れられん事を欲すればなり。
For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 之が為に我等を造り給へる者は即ち神に在し、之が保證として[聖]霊を我等に賜ひたるなり。
Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 然れば我等は何時も憶する事なく、此肉體に在る間は主に離れて流浪する者なる事を知りて、
Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
7 現に像を見ず信仰を以て歩む者なれば、
(for we walk by faith, not by sight; )
8 敢えて憶する事なく、寧肉體を離れて主に侍らん事を欲す。
we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
9 然れば肉體に在るも之を離るるも御意に適はん事を勉む、
Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
10 其は我等皆キリストの法廷に於て顕れ、或は善、或は惡、各肉體に在りて為しし所に報いらるべければなり。
For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil.
11 第四項 使徒たる者の生活 斯の如く、我等は主の畏れ奉るべき事を知人々を勧む。我等は明に神に知られたれば、汝等の良心にも明に知られたるべき事を信ず。
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.
12 我等は又汝等の前に己を立つる者に非ず、唯我等を以て誇となす機會を汝等に與へんとす、是心にならで面に誇れる人々に答ふる事を得させん為なり。
[For] we do not again commend ourselves to you, but [we are] giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have [such] with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.
13 即ち我等が浮るるも神の為、己が事を謙遜に語るも亦汝等の為なり。
For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
14 蓋キリストの寵我等に迫れり、我等想へらく、凡ての人の為に一人死し給ひしなれば、是凡ての人死したるなり。
For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
15 又キリストが（凡ての人の為に）死し給ひしは、活ける人をして最早己が為に活きず、寧己等の為に死し且復活し給ひし者の為に活きしめんとてなり。
and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.
16 故に今より後我等は人を肉身によりて知らず、曾てはキリストを肉身によりて知りたりとも、今は最早斯の如くにして知るに非ず。
So that we henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know [him thus] no longer.
17 人若キリストに在れば、新に造られたる者となりて、舊き所は既に過去り、何事も新になりたるなり。
So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:
18 是等の事は皆神より出づ、即ち神はキリストを以て我等を己と和睦せしめ、且和睦の務を我等に授け給へり。
and all things [are] of the God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
19 蓋神はキリストの中に在して世を己と和睦せしめ、又人々に其罪を負はせず、我等に委ぬるに和睦の言を以てし給へり。
how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.
20 然れば我等はキリストの為に使節たり、恰も神が我等を以て汝等に勧め給ふに齊し。キリストに代りて希ふ、神と和睦し奉れ。
We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
21 罪を知り給はざる者を我等の為に罪と見做し給ひしは、我等がキリストに於て神の義とせられん為なり。
Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
