ガラテヤ人への手紙 1
1 人よりに非ず、人によるにも非ず、イエズス、キリストと、之を死者の中より復活せしめ給ひし父にて在す神とによりて使徒たるパウロ、
Paul, an apostle, —not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father who raised him from among the dead,
2 並に我と共に在る兄弟一同、ガラチアの諸教會に[書簡を贈る]。
And all the brethren with me; —unto the assemblies of Galatia:
3 願はくは父にて在す神、及び我主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。
Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, —
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, — (aiōn g165)
6 我は汝等がキリストの恩寵を以て己を召し給ひし者を遠ざかりて、斯も速に異なる福音に移れるを怪しむ。
I marvel that, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message, —
7 是異なる福音あるに非ず、唯或人々が汝等を擾して、キリストの福音を翻さんとするなり。
Which is not, another, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message of the Christ.
8 然れど我等にまれ、天よりの使にまれ、我等が汝等に宣べし所に反して福音を宣ぶるならば、詛はれよかし。
But, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message [unto you] aside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!
9 我等曩に言ひしが今又重ねて言ふ、汝等が受けし所に反して福音を宣ぶる者あらば詛はれよかし。
As we have said before, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!
10 蓋今我人の心を獲んとするか、将神の御意を獲んとするか、人の心に適はんと力むるか、我尚人の心に適はばキリストの僕に非ざるべし。
For am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ’s servant, had I not been!
11 第一項 パウロの使徒たる事と其教とは神より出づ 第一編 パウロ自己に就きての弁駁 蓋兄弟等よ、汝等に告知らせん、我が宣べし福音は人によれるものに非ず、
For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;
12 即ち我人より之を受け之に學びたるに非ず、イエズス、キリストの黙示によれるなり。
For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it], —but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.
13 蓋ユデア教に於る前の我行状如何は、汝等の聞きし所なり。即ち我は神の教會を甚だしく迫害して之を荒し、
For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,
14 我族中なる同年輩の人々に優りてユデア教に進み、我先祖の傳の為に一層熱中して奮發し居たりしなり。
And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
15 然るに母の胎内より選みて、其恩寵を以て我を召し給へる者は、
But, when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased
16 我をして其福音を異邦人の中に宣べしめんとて、御子を我心に顕はし給ふことの御意に適ひしかば、其時我直に血肉に謀らず、
to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred not with flesh and blood,
17 又エルザレム即ち我先輩なる使徒等の許にも往かず、アラビアに至り、復ダマスコに歸れり。
Neither went I up unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles, —but I went away into Arabia, and again returned unto Damascus.
18 然て三年を経てペトロを訪問せんとてエルザレムに至り、十五日の間彼が家に留りしも、
Then, after three years, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days;
19 他の使徒等には、主の兄弟ヤコボの外誰にも遇はざりき。
But, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord: —
20 我が汝等に書遣る事は神の御前にて僞なし。
Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: —
21 其後我シリア及びシリシア地方に至りしが、
After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22 キリストに在るユデアの諸教會は我面を知らず、
And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, —
23 唯曾て我等を迫害しつつありし人、今や己が曩に亡ぼさんとしたりし信仰を宣傳ふと聞き、
Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;
24 我に就きて光榮を神に歸し奉りつつありき。
And they were glorifying, God, in me.
