テモテへの手紙第二 1
1 神の思召によりキリスト、イエズスに於る生命の約束に從ひてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 至愛の子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。願はくは父にて在す神、及び我主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらんことを。
to dear son Timothy: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 第一項 キリストに忠實ならんことを勧む 第一編 福音の為に懼なく戰ふべし 我が祖先以來潔き良心を以て奉事せる神に感謝し奉る、蓋晝夜祈祷の中に絶えず汝を記念し、
I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience like my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers, night and day,
4 汝の涙を追想して、喜に満たされん為に、汝を見ん事を欲す、
longing to see you (recalling your tears), that I may be filled with joy;
5 是汝に在る偽なき信仰の記憶を有てるによりてなり、此信仰は曩に汝の祖母ロイズと母ユニケとに宿りたれば、汝にも亦然ある事を確信す。
while I call to mind the unfeigned faith that is in you—it resided first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 是故に我按手によりて、汝の衷なる神の賜を更に熱せしめん事を勧告す、
For this reason I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 其は神の我等に賜ひたるは、臆する霊に非ずして、能力と慈愛と節制との霊なればなり。
Because God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of self-control.
8 然れば我主に對する證明と、其囚人たる我とに耻づる事なく、神の能力に應じて福音の為に我と共に苦を忍べ。
So do not be ashamed to identify with our Lord or with me His prisoner, but join in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God
—the One who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 此恩寵は、今我救主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ひしによりて證せられたり、即ち彼は死を亡し、福音を以て生命と不朽とを明にし給ひしなり。
but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who by means of the Gospel destroyed the death and brought life and immortality to light;
11 我は此福音の為に立てられて、宣教者たり、使徒たり、異邦人の教師たり。
to this Gospel I was appointed as a proclaimer, an apostle and a teacher of nations.
12 又之が為に斯る苦を受くと雖も之を耻とせず、其は我が信頼し奉れる者の誰なるかを知り、且我に委托し給ひしものを、彼日まで保ち給ふ能力あるを確信すればなり。
That is why I am suffering these things, yet I am not ashamed because I know in whom I have believed and am certain that He is able to guard my deposit until that Day.
13 汝我に聞きし健全なる言の法を守るに、キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰と愛とを以てし、
Hold fast the standard of sound teaching that you heard from me, through the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 委托せられし善きものを、我等に宿り給ふ聖霊によりて保て。
Guard the good deposit by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 [小]アジアに在る人々の、皆我を離れし事は汝の知る所にして、フィゼロとヘルモゼネスと其中に在り。
This you know, that all those in Asia have been turned away from me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 願はくは主オネジフォロの家に憫を賜はんことを、蓋彼は屡我を励まし、我鎖を耻づる事なく、
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 ロマに來りし時切に尋ねて我を見出せり。
rather, when he arrived in Rome he searched diligently for me until he found me
18 願はくは主彼日に於て、彼に主より憫を得させ給はん事を、彼がエフェゾに於て我を厚遇せし事の如何ばかりなりしかは汝の尚能く知る所なり。
(may the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that Day); you also know very well in how many ways he served in Ephesus.
