ローマ人への手紙 2
1 然れば総て是非する人よ、汝は弁解する事を得ず、蓋他人を是非するは己を罪する所以なり、其自ら是非する所と同じ事を為せばなり。
THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.
2 我等は斯の如き事を為す人に對して、神の審判が眞理に適へる事を知れり。
But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things.
3 然て斯る事を為す者を是非しつつ自ら之を行ふ人よ、汝は神の審判を免れんと思ふか、
For thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest those who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 神の仁慈と堪忍と耐久との豊なるを軽んずるか、神の慈愛の汝を改心に導きつつあるを知らざるか。
Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?
5 然て汝が頑固と悔悛めざる心とに由りて、己の為に神の御怒を積み、
But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6 各其業に應じて報い給ふべき神の正しき審判の顕るべき御怒の日に當りて之に触れん。
who will recompense to every man according to his works;
to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality―eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 争へる人、眞理に服せず不義に就く人には、怒と憤とあるべし。
But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;
9 凡て惡を行ふ者の霊魂には、ユデア人を初めギリシア人にも、患難と辛苦とあるべけれど、
tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
10 凡て善を行ふ者にはユデア人を初めギリシア人にも光榮と尊貴と平安とあるべし。
But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek:
11 其は人に就きて偏り給ふ事は神に無き所なればなり。
for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
12 蓋総て律法なくして罪を犯しし人は律法なくして亡びん、又総て律法ありて罪を犯しし人は律法によりて審判せられん、
For as many as have sinned without the law, shall perish also without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13 其は律法の聴聞者は神の御前に義人たらずして、律法の實行者こそ義とせらるべければなり。
for the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be counted righteous;
14 蓋律法を有たざる異邦人等が、自然に律法の事を行ふ時は、斯る律法を有たずと雖も自ら己に律法たるなり。
(for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 彼等は律法の働の己が心に銘されたるを顕し、其良心之が證を為し、其思相互に、或は咎め或は弁解する事あればなり。
which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses; )
16 是我福音に宣ぶる如く、神がイエズス、キリストを以て人々の密事を審判し給ふべき日に明かならん。
in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.
17 然るに汝はユデア人と稱せられて律法に安んじ、神を以て誇と為し、
Lo! thou art named a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God,
18 其御旨を知り、律法に諭されて一層有益なる事を認め、
and knowest the will of God, and bringest to the test the things that are different, being instructed out of the law;
19 敢て己を以て盲者の手引、暗黒に在る人の燈火、
and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
20 愚者の教師、兒等の師匠なりとし、律法に於て學識と眞理との則を有てる者と思へり。
an instructor of the uninformed, a teacher of babes, holding the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
21 然りながら汝は人を教へて己を教へず、盗む勿れと述べて自ら盗み、
Thou therefore who teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that proclaimest aloud that a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 姦淫する勿れと云ひて自ら姦淫し、偶像を憎みて聖なるものを冒し、
thou that sayest, Do not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that holdest idols in abomination, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 律法に誇りつつ自ら律法を破りて神を辱しむ、
thou who gloriest in the law, dishonourest thou God by the transgression of the law?
24 録して、「神の御名は汝等によりて異邦人の中に罵らる」、とあるが如し。
for the name of God is blasphemed through you among the heathen, as it is written.
25 汝律法を守る時は割禮其益ありと雖も、律法を破る時は汝の割禮は既に無割禮となれるなり。
For circumcision indeed is advantageous, if thou practise the law: but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision becomes uncircumcision,
26 然れば無割禮[の人]律法の禁令を守らば、其無割禮は割禮と斉しく視做さるべきに非ずや。
If then the uncircumcision observe the righteous judgments of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted for circumcision?
27 斯て生來無割禮[の人]律法を全うせば、儀文及び割禮ありながら律法を破れる汝を罪に定めん。
And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law.
28 蓋表に然ある人がユデア人たるに非ず、又陽に身に在るものが割禮たるに非ず。
For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision.
29 心中に然ある人こそユデア人、儀文によらず霊による心のものこそ割禮にして、其誉は人より來らず而も神より來る。
But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
