ローマ人への手紙 1
1 イエズス、キリストの僕にして使徒と召され、神の福音の為に別たれたるパウロ、――
Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been set apart to the Gospel of God,
2 此福音は、曩に神が、其預言者等を以て聖書の中に、御子我主イエズス、キリストに就きて約し給ひしものにして、
which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures:
3 此御子は肉體にてはダヴィドの裔より生り、
concerning His Son, who became a physical descendant of David,
4 聖徳の霊にては、大能を以て、死者の中よりの復活によりて、神の御子と證せられ給へり。
who was established to be God's powerful Son (in accordance with Spirit of holiness) by resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord—
5 我等は其御名の為に、萬民を信仰に服從せしめんとて、恩寵と使徒職とを蒙りたるなり、
through whom we have received grace and apostleship to promote obedience of faith among all ethnic nations concerning His name
6 汝等も萬民の中よりイエズス、キリストに召されたる者なれば、――
(among these you also are called by Jesus Christ);
7 書簡を総てロマに在りて神に愛せられ聖徒と召されたる人々に贈る。願くは、我父にて在す神及主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。
to all the called saints who are in Rome, beloved of God: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
8 汝等の信仰全世界に吹聴せらるるが故に、我先汝等一同の為にイエズス、キリストに由りて我神に感謝し奉る。
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
9 蓋我が祈祷の中に絶えず汝等を記念し、
Further, the God whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son is my witness, how without ceasing I always remember you in my prayers,
10 常に如何にしてか神の思召により、何時しか安らかなる道を得て、終に汝等に至らんと希へるは、御子の福音に於て我が一心に事へ奉る神の、我為に證し給ふ所なり。
begging that perhaps now, at last, I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
11 蓋我が汝等を見ん事を望むは、聊か霊の恩寵を汝等に分與へて、汝等を堅固ならしめん為、
For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established
12 即ち汝等の中に在りて、汝等と我との互の信仰を以て相勧むる事を得ん為なり。
—that is, that I may be encouraged among you by our mutual faith, both yours and mine.
13 兄弟等よ、我は我が他の異邦人に於る如く、汝等の中にも聊か好果を得ん為、數次汝等に至らんと志して、而も今まで阻げられたる事を、汝等の知らざるを好まず。
I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), in order that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 我はギリシア人にも異國人にも、學者にも無學者にも負ふ所あり、
I am a debtor both to Greeks and to non-Greeks, both to wise and to foolish.
15 然れば又汝等ロマに居る者にも福音を傳へんと欲する事切なり。
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Gospel to you who are in Rome as well.
16 蓋我福音を恥と為ず、是総て信ずる者の為には、ユデア人を初めギリシア人にも救となるべき神の能力なればなり。
I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for the salvation of each one who believes (for the Jew first, then the Greek);
17 即ち神の[賜へる]義が信仰より信仰に至る事は福音の中に顕る、録して、「義人は信仰によりて活きん」とあるが如し。
because in it God's righteousness is revealed, from faith to faith; just as it is written: “The righteous one will live by faith.”
18 第一款 人皆義とせらるるを要す 第一編 教理上の事。イエズス、キリストに於る信仰によりて義とせらるる事 第一項 義とせらるるの必要及び性質 夫の御怒は、眞理を不義に壓ふる人々の、凡ての不敬不義の上に顕る。
Now the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of the people who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 蓋神に就きて知られたる事柄は彼等には顕然なり、其は神既に彼等に之を顕し給ひたればなり。
precisely because what may be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them.
Because His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood from what has been made, so that they are inexcusable; (aïdios g126)
21 蓋既に神を知りたれど、神として之に光榮を歸せず、又感謝せず、却て理屈の中に空しくせられて、其愚なる心暗くなれり。
precisely because, knowing God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks; so their reasonings became worthless and their senseless hearts were darkened.
22 即ち自ら智者と稱して愚者と成り、
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 朽ちざる神の光榮に易ふるに、朽つべき人間、鳥、獣、蛇等に似たる像を以てせり。
and exchanged for themselves the glory of the incorruptible God for an image resembling a perishable man—even birds and quadrupeds and reptiles!
24 是によりて神は彼等を其心の慾、即ち淫亂に打任せ給ひて、彼等は互に其身を辱しむ、
Therefore God also gave them up, through the cravings of their hearts for vileness, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves
—they had exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 是によりて神は彼等を恥づべき情慾に打任せ給へり、蓋彼等の女は自然の用を易へて自然に戻れる用と為し、
For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions; in fact even their females exchanged the natural sexual function for that against nature;
27 男も亦同じく女の自然の用を棄てて互に私慾を燃やし、男と男と恥づべき事を為して其迷に値せる報を己が身に受けたり。
likewise also the males, abandoning the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males committing the disgraceful act with males, and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 又神を認めたる事を證せざりしが故に、神亦彼等を其邪心に打任せ給ひて、彼等は不當なる事を為すに至れり。
So precisely because they determined not to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a debased mind, to do wrong things:
29 即ち有ゆる不義、惡心、私通、貪吝、不正に満ち、嫉妬、殺人、争闘、詐欺、狡猾に富み、讒害する者、
having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, depravity; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; gossips,
30 誹謗する者、神を恨む者、侮辱する者、傲慢なる者、自負する者、惡事の發明者、父母に從はざる者、
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, braggarts, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 愚者、背徳者にして、愛情なく、忠實なく、慈悲なき人々たるなり。
senseless, faithless, hardhearted, intransigent, unmerciful;
32 斯る事を行ふ人は死に値す、と云へる神の判定を知りたれども、之を行ふのみならず亦行ふ人々に賛同するなり。
who, knowing full well God's just sentence, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do them but also approve of other practitioners.
