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, separated unto the glad-message 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 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 came to be of the seed of David, according to 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。
Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of 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 favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of 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 whom are, ye also, 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。
Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and 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, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout 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, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making 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。
At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto 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 am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye 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 to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s 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 wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other 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 Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
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。
Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
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 joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to 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, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, 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 there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —
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。
Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
For, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should be without excuse; (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。
Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,
22 即ち自ら智者と稱して愚者と成り、
Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
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 the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts 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、
Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. 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 unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is 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。
In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —
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, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,
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、
Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
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、
Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
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。
Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, 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, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].
