テサロニケ人への手紙第二 1

1 パウロ、シルヴァノ及びチモテオ、我父にて在す神、及び主イエズス、キリストに在るテサロニケ人の教會に[書簡を贈る]。

Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ:

2 願はくは我父にて在す神、及び主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.

3 兄弟等よ、我等は絶えず汝等に就きて相當に神に感謝せざるべからず。是汝等の信仰益増加して、面々の愛情も皆互に豊なればなり。

We are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers, and properly so, because your faith is really growing, and the love of each and every one of you towards each other keeps increasing;

4 然れば我等自らも汝等を以て、即ち其忍べる凡ての迫害及び患難に於る忍耐と信仰とを以て、神の諸教會の間に誇とす。

so that we ourselves boast about you among God's congregations, referring to your steadfastness and faith in the midst of all your persecutions, and the tribulations that you are enduring

5 此患難は神の正しき審判の徴にして、汝等が神の國の為に苦しみて之に入るに足る者とせられん為なり。

—the above is evidence that God's judgment is right, to the end that you be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God, on behalf of which you are actually suffering;

6 其は汝等を悩ます人々に悩を以て報い給ふは、神に取りて正當の事なれば、

since to God it is right to pay back affliction to those who are afflicting you

7 悩める汝等にも我等と共に安息を賜ふ事正當なり。是主イエズス、其能力の天使等を随へて天より顕れ給ふ時の事にして、

and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire,

8 即ち焔の中に於て、神を知らざる人々、我主イエズス、キリストの福音に從はざる人々に報い給ふ時に當りて、

inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

9 彼等は主の御顔と其能力の光榮とを離れて終なき亡の罰を受けん、 (aiōnios g166)

who will pay a penalty: everlasting ruin, away from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might, (aiōnios g166)

10 其時主來り給ひて、其聖徒によりて光榮を受け給ひ、信じたる凡ての人より誉を得給ふべし、是我等の證する所、汝等に信ぜられたればなり。

whenever He comes to be glorified by His saints, yes to be marveled at by all who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed); in that Day.

11 故に我等常に汝等の為に祈りて、我神汝等をして其召に適はしめ、且及ぶ限り凡ての善意と信仰の業とを全うし給はん事を願ひ奉る。

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling and fulfill with power every desire of usefulness and work of faith,

12 是我神と主イエズス、キリストとの恩寵に由りて、我主イエズス、キリストの御名汝等の中に光榮を着せられ、汝等も彼に在りて光榮を得ん為なり。

so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
