ローマ人への手紙 14
1 第三款 信仰の弱き信徒に對する方法 信仰の弱き人を承くるに親切を以てし、思ふ所を争ふこと勿れ。
Him that is weak in the faith receive all of you, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 蓋或人は凡ての物を食するを善しとするに、弱き人は野菜を食す。
For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.
3 食する人は食せざる人を軽んずべからず、食せざる人も亦食する人を是非すべからず、其は神は人を承容れ給ひたればなり。
Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.
4 汝誰なれば他に属する僕を是非するぞ、立つも倒るるも、其主に係はる事なり。但必ずや立つならん、其は神は之を立たしむる事を得給へばなり。
Who are you that judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yea, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 或人は日と日とを弁別するに、他の人は如何なる日をも同一にす、各其料簡に随ふべきのみ。
One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 日を区別する人は主の為に之を区別し、食する人も主の為に食す、其は神に感謝すればなり。食せざる人も主の為に食せずして亦神に感謝す。
He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks.
7 蓋我等の中に己の為に活くる者なく、己の為に死する者なし、
For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself.
8 其は我等は活くるも主の為に活き、死するも主の為に死すればなり。故に我等は活くるも死するも主の有なり。
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 蓋キリストの死して復活し給ひしは、死者と生者とを司り給はんが為なり。
In order to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 然るに汝何故に兄弟を是非するぞ、何故に兄弟を軽んずるぞ、我等は皆神の法廷に立つべき者なるをや。
But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nothing your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 録して、「主曰く、我は活くるなり、凡ての膝我前に屈まり、凡ての舌神を宣言するに至らん」、とあるが如し、
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 即ち我等は各己の事を神に糺さるべし。
So then every one of us shall give account (logos) of himself to God.
13 然れば我等互に罪を定むべからず、寧汝等兄弟の前に、躓かすべきもの、或は罠となるものを置かざらん事を定めよ。
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14 我は主イエズスに於て知り且確信す、何物も彼によりて自ら潔からざるはなく、其潔からざるは、潔からずと思ふ人に於てのみ。
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 若食物の為に汝の兄弟を憂ひしむれば、汝は既に愛に從ひて歩む者に非ず、キリストの死して贖ひ給ひし人を、食物の為に亡ぼすこと勿れ。
But if your brother be grieved with your food, now walk you not charitably. (agape) Destroy not him with your food, for whom Christ died.
16 然れば我等の有てる善きものは罵らるべかず、
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 其は神の國は飲食にあるに非ずして、聖霊に由れる義と平和と歓とに在ればなり。
For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
18 蓋之を以てキリストに事ふる人は神の御意に適ひ、人々にも善しとせらるるなり。
For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 故に我等は平和の事を追求して、人の徳を立つべき事を互に守るべきなり。
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
20 食物の為に神の事業を亡ぼすこと勿れ、凡ての物は潔しと雖も、食して躓かする人には惡となる。
For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offence.
21 肉食、飲酒、其他汝の兄弟の或は心を痛め、或は躓き、或は弱くなる事を為ざるを善しとす。
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 汝に[確]信あらんか、之を神の御前に我が身の中に保て。善しとする事に就きて己を咎めざる人は福なり、
Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
23 然れど疑ひつつ食したる時は罪せらる、其は[確]信によりて為ざればなり、総て[確]信に由らざる事は罪なり。
And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
