コロサイ人への手紙 4
1 主人たる者よ、汝等も天に主を有ち奉れることを知りて、正當公正なる事を奴隷に為せ。
Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 結末 汝等祈祷に從事し、感謝を以てこれに注意せよ。
Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;
3 将又我等の為に祈りて、我が之が為に縲絏に遇へるキリストの奥義を語る様、神が宣教の門を我等に開き給はんことを願へ、
withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;
4 是我が語るべき如くに之を顕すことを得ん為なり。
that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 外なる人々と交るに知識を以てして機會を求めよ。
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 汝等の談話は、塩を以て塩梅して常に麗しかるべし、是如何に人々に答ふべきかを知らん為なり。
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.
7 忠信なる役者、主に於る同輩にして我至愛の兄弟たるチキコは、我身上の一切を汝等に告知らするならん。
All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:
8 我が故に之を遣はししは、彼をして汝等に関する事を知り、且汝等の心を慰めしめん為なり。
whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;
9 又汝等の一人にして忠信なる我至愛の兄弟オネジモを之に伴はしめたれば、彼等は此處の凡ての事を汝等に告げ知らするならん。
together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that [are done] here.
10 我と共に獄中に在るアリスタルコ、及びバルナバの從弟マルコ、汝等に宜しくと言へり。此マルコに就きては、汝等命を受けたる事あり、若汝等に至らば之を優待せよ。
Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),
11 ユストと呼るるイエズスも宜しくと言へり。彼等は割禮を受けし人々なるが、神の國の為に我に助力したるは此三人にして、我慰と成りし者なり。
and Jesus that is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are my] fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me.
12 汝等の一人なるエパフラ、汝等に宜しくと言へり。彼はキリスト、イエズスの僕にして、常に汝等の為に戰ひ、祈の中に、汝等が神の諸の思召に於て完全に且確信して立たん事を求む。
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
13 彼が汝等の為に、又ラオジケア及びイェラポリスの人々の為に、甚く心を勞せる事は、我彼の為に之を證す。
For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis.
14 至愛なる醫者ルカ汝等に宜しくと言へり。デマスも亦然り。
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you.
15 ラオヂケアに在る兄弟等、及びニムファと其家に在る教會とに宜しく傳へよ。
Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in their house.
16 此書簡汝等の中に読まれなば、又ラオヂケアの教會にも読まるる様計らひ、汝等も亦ラオヂケア人の書簡を読め。
And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 又アルキッポに傳へて、汝主に於て受けし聖役を省みて之を全うすべし、と言へ。
And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 我パウロ手づから宜しくと言ふ。我縲絏を記憶せよ。願はくは恩寵汝等と共に在らん事を。アメン。
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
