コリント人への手紙第二 5
For we know that, if our earthly tent-habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, 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 while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation 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。
since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, 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 we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality 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 hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.
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、
We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home 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; but we have courage,
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。
and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home 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 we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by 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 made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.
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 fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.
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 are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward appearance, 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 were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, 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 Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all 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 their sakes, and rose again.
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 the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.
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。
Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he 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 from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of 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。
seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of 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 then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, 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 made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
