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 servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for 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 had promised before by 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 Jesus Christ our Lord; made from the seed of David after the flesh,
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。
definitively marked out as the Son of God by miracle, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead:
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 apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:
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 whom are ye also the called of 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 that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord 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 then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.
9 蓋我が祈祷の中に絶えず汝等を記念し、
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,
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。
always in my prayers entreating that haply now at last I may have a prosperous journey 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, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, in order 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。
and that so I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and of me.
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。
But I would not that ye should be unacquainted, brethren, that oftentimes I have been purposing to come to you (and have been prevented until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentile nations.
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、
Both to the Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the ignorant am I a debtor.
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, as far as is in my power, I am desirous to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
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。
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believeth; to the Jew first, and also to 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。
For the righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, “Now the just by faith shall live.”
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。
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding back the truth in 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。
Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath manifested it to them.
For from the creation of the world his invisible perfections, discoverable in the works that are made, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and deity; 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。
because though they knew there was a God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave him thanks, but became triflers in their disputations, and their stupid heart was darkened.
22 即ち自ら智者と稱して愚者と成り、
Affecting to be sophists, they turned idiots,
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 changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of 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、
Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves:
who perverted the truth of God by falsehood, and worshipped and paid divine honours to the thing created instead of the Creator, who is blessed for evermore. 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 cause God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For even their women did change the natural use into that which was contrary to 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。
and likewise the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lewdness one towards another; men with men committing indecency, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their delusion, which was meet.
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。
And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming;
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、
replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,
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、
backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, 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。
unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, 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, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.
