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 which 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 Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and 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 thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee 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、
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy 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。
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee 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、
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting 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。
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
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。
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world 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 is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
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。
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
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。
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against 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 form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is 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。
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth 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 thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are 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、
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft 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。
But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and 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。
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
