コロサイ人への手紙 2
1 第二項 偽教師に對する論難 我は我が汝等とラオジケアに在る人々と、又未だ我肉身の顔を見ざる一切の人との為に、戰ふ事の如何ばかりなるかを、汝等の知らん事を欲す。
For I desire you to know, how great a contest I am having—in behalf of you, and of those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 是其心慰められ、愛を以て繋がれ、全き智識の諸の富に満たされて、父にて在す神、及びキリスト、イエズスの奥義を識るに至らん為にして、
In order that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, even unto all the riches of the full assurance of their understanding, unto a personal knowledge of the sacred secret of God, —Christ:
3 智識及び學識の諸の寳、彼に隠れて存すればなり。
In whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away.
4 我が之を言ふは、誰も巧みなる談話を以て汝等を欺く事なからん為なり。
This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;
5 蓋我肉體にては不在なれども、精神にては汝等と共に居り、汝等の秩序とキリストに於る信仰の堅固なるとを見て之を喜ぶ。
For, though, indeed, in the flesh, I am absent, yet, in the spirit, with you, I am—rejoicing, and beholding your order and the solid firmness of your Christ-ward faith.
6 然れば汝等主イエズス、キリストを承けしが如く之に在りて歩み、
As therefore ye have accepted the Anointed Jesus as your Lord, in him, be walking, —
7 之に根ざし之が上に建てられて、學びしが如く信仰に固まり、之に成長して感謝し奉れ。
Rooted, and being built up, in him, and making yourselves sure in your faith, even as ye have been taught, —surpassing therein with thanksgiving.
8 空しき虚言なる哲學を以て誰にも欺かれざる様注意せよ、其は人間の傳と世の小學とに由るものにして、キリストに由るものに非ず。
Be taking heed, lest there shall be anyone leading, you, off as a spoil, through means of their philosophy, and an empty deceit, —according to the instruction of men, according to the first principles of the world, —and not according to Christ:
9 蓋神性は殘なく實體的にキリストの中に充満ちて宿れるなり。
Because, in him, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily,
10 彼は諸の権勢及び能力の頭にて在す、汝等之に在りて充満し、
And ye are, in him, filled full, —Who, is the head of all principality and authority,
11 又之に於て割禮を受けたり。其割禮は手にて為せるものに非ずして、肉身を取除く所のキリストの割禮なり。
In whom, ye have also been circumcised with a circumcision not done by hand, in the despoiling of the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ, —
12 汝等は洗禮を以て彼と共に葬られ、又彼を死者の中より復活せしめ給ひし神の大能を信仰せるを以て、彼によりて復活したるなり。
Having been buried together with him in your immersion, wherein also ye have been raised together, through your faith in the energising of God—Who raised him from among the dead.
13 斯て汝等、罪と肉身の無割禮とによりて死したる者なりしに、神は汝等に悉く罪を赦して、キリストと共に更に活かし給ひ、
And, as for you—who were, dead, by your offences and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath brought you to life together with him, —having in favour forgiven us all our offences,
14 我等に迫りて我等に反せる誡の書を取消し、之を中間より取去りて十字架に釘け、
Having blotted out the handwriting against us by the decrees, which was hostile to us, —and hath taken away, the same, out of the midst, nailing it up to the cross:
15 [堕落の]権勢及び能力等を剥ぎて敢て之を擒にし、キリストの御身に於て公然是等に打勝ち給へり。
Spoiling the principalities and the authorities, he made of them an open example, celebrating a triumph over them thereby.
16 然れば食物、或は飲物、或は祭日、或は朔日、或は安息日に関しては、誰にもあれ汝等を咎むべからず、
Let no one, therefore, be judging, you, —in eating and in drinking, or in respect of feast, or new moon, or sabbath, —
17 是等の事は後に在るべき事の影にして、本體はキリストなり。
Which are a shadow of the things to come, whereas, the body, is of the Christ.
18 誰にもあれ、故に謙遜[を装ひ]、天使崇拝を以て汝等の褒美を取るべからず。斯る人は見ざる事に立入りて徒に肉的思念に誇り、
Let, no one, against you, be arbitrating, however wishful, —in respect of lowliness of mind, and of a religious observance of the messengers: upon what things he hath seen, taking his stand, in vain, puffed up by his carnal mind, —
19 頭たる者に属せざるなり。全體は此頭よりしてこそ、関節及び繊維を以て組立てられ且聯りて、神によりて成長するなれ。
And not holding fast the head: from which, all the body, through means of its joints and uniting bands, receiving supply, and connecting itself together, groweth with the growth of God.
20 汝等若キリストと共に此世の小學に就きて死したる者ならば、何ぞ尚世に在るが如く身を掟に服せしむるや。
If ye have died, together with Christ, from the first principles of the world, why, as though alive in the world, are ye submitting to decrees, —
21 謂ゆる触るる勿れ、味ふ勿れ、扱ふ勿れの類は、
Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch; —
22 皆用ふるに随ひて盡くるものにして、人間の誡と教とによれり。
Which things are all for decay in the using up; —according to the commandments and teachings of men?
23 彼の崇拝、謙遜、身を吝まざる點に於ては、道理めきたるものなれども、其實は尊き事なく、唯肉慾を飽かしむるのみ。
The which things, indeed, though they have, an appearance, of wisdom, in self-devised religious observance, and lowliness of mind, [and] ill-treatment of body, are, in no honourable way, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
