ローマ人への手紙 8
1 第三款 キリストによりて再生したる人の福なる状態 然ればキリスト、イエズスに在りて、肉に從ひて歩まざる人に於ては、最早罪に處せらるべき所なし、
Now then, there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit,
2 其は生命を與ふる霊の法は、キリスト、イエズスに於て罪と死との法より我を救ひたればなり。
because the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of the sin and the death.
3 夫肉を以て弱れるが故に、律法は為す能はざりしを、神は罪の肉の如き状を以て御子を罪の為に遣はし給ひ、其肉に於て罪を處分し給へり。
Further, what the law could not do, in that it was weak due to the flesh, God has done by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned the sin in the flesh,
4 是肉に從はず霊に從ひて歩める我等に於て、律法の禁令の全うせられんが為なり。
so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 肉に從ふ人々は肉の事を好み、霊に從ふ人々は霊の事を好む。
Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 肉の好は死[と]なり、霊の好は生命及び平安[と]なる。
Further, the mindset of the flesh yields death, but the mindset of the Spirit yields life and peace;
7 其は肉の好みは神に敵對して神の律法に服せず、又服する能はざればなり。
because the mindset of the flesh represents enmity against God, since it does not submit to God's law, nor indeed can it.
8 然れば肉に居る人々は、神の御意に適ふ能はず。
So, those who are ‘in flesh’ cannot please God.
9 然て神の霊若汝等に宿り給はば、汝等は肉に居らずして霊に居るなり。人若キリストの霊を有せずば、キリストのものに非ず。
You, however, are not ‘in flesh’ but ‘in Spirit’, if indeed God's Spirit dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10 若キリスト汝等に在さば、肉體は罪の為に死したるものなれども、霊は義とせられたる為に活く。
But if Christ is in you, the body is dead through sin, but the Spirit is life through righteousness.
11 若イエズスを死者の中より復活せしめ給ひし者の霊汝等に宿り給はば、其死よりイエズス、キリストを復活せしめ給ひし者は、汝等に宿り給へる其霊によりて、汝等の死ぬべき肉體をも活かし給はん。
And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 然れば兄弟等よ、我等は肉に對して、肉に從ひて活くべき負債ある者に非ず、
So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live according to it;
13 蓋汝等若肉に從ひて活きなば死すべく、霊を以て肉の業を殺さば却て活くべし。
because if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if you put to death the practices of the body, by the Spirit, you will live.
14 其は何人によらず、神の霊に導かるる人は神の子たればなり。
Because as many as are led by God's Spirit, these are God's sons
15 蓋汝等の受けしは、更に懼を懐く奴隷たるの霊に非ず、子とせらるる霊を受けしなり。我等がアバ即ち父と呼ぶは是が為なり。
—you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fear all over again, but you did receive the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”
16 蓋[聖]霊自ら我等の精神と共に、我等が神の子たるを證し給ふ。
That Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children
17 既に子たれば又世嗣たり、即ち神の世嗣にして、キリストと共同の世嗣たるなり。是我等もし共に苦しまば、光榮も亦共に受くべき為なり。
—if children, also heirs: heirs of God and coheirs with Christ (if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him).
18 我想ふに現世の苦は、我等が身の上に顕るべき将來の光榮に及ぶものに非ず、
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed in us.
19 蓋被造物の仰ぎて待てるは、神の子等の顕れん事を待てるなり。
You see, the creation waits with eager anticipation for the revelation of God's sons;
20 被造物は虚に服せしめられたるも之を好まず、己を希望を以て服せしめ給ひしものに對して然するのみ。
because without choice the creation was subjected to futility, due to the One who did the subjecting, based on the hope
21 其は被造物も自ら腐敗の奴隷たる事を脱れて、神の子等の光榮の自由を得べければなり。
that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the freedom of the glory of God's children.
22 即ち我等は知る、被造物は皆今に至るまで相共に嘆き、且陣痛に遇へるなりと。
Yes, we know that the whole creation has been groaning and in labor pains until now.
23 啻に被造物のみならず、聖霊の最初の賜を得たる我等も、自ら心の中に嘆き、神の子等とせられて肉體の贖はれん事を仰ぎ待てるなり。
Not only that, we ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 蓋我等の救はれたるは猶希望に止る、見ゆる希望は希望に非ず、既に見る所は人何ぞ之を希望せん。
Yes, we were saved in the hope, but a hope that is seen is not hope—why would anyone hope for what he sees?
25 見ざる所を希望するに當りては、我等は忍耐を以て之を待つ。
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.
26 斯の如く、聖霊も亦我等の弱を援け給ふ。蓋我等何を祈るべきかを知らざれども、[聖]霊御自言ふべからざる歎を以て、我等の為に求め給ふ。
Likewise also the Spirit comes to the aid of the hope in our weaknesses, since we do not know what we need to pray for. Indeed the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with inexpressible groanings,
27 斯て、心を見透し給ふものは[聖]霊の望み給へる所を知り給ふ。其は神の御旨に從ひて、聖徒の為に求め給へばなり。
while He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, since He prays for the saints in accordance with God.
28 我等は知れり、神を愛する者即ち規定に應じて聖徒と召されたる人々には、萬事共に働きて其為に益あらざるはなし、と。
Further, we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to purpose.
29 蓋神は豫知し給へる人々を、御子の状に肖似らしめんと豫定し給へり、是御子が多くの兄弟の中に長子たらん為なり。
Because whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 斯て豫定し給ひし人には亦之を召し、召し給ひし人は亦之を義とならしめ、義とならしめ給ひし人には、亦賜ふに光榮を以てし給ひしなり。
Further, whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 是等の事に加へて我等又何をか言はん、神もし我等の為にし給はば、誰か我等に敵對する者ぞ、
What then shall we say to these things? Since God is for us, who is against us?
32 我御子をすら惜み給はず、却て我等一同の為に之を付し給ひたれば、争でか之に添へて、一切を我等に賜はざらんや。
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also graciously give us all things?
33 神に選まれたる人々を訟ふる者は誰ぞ、其は義とならしめ給ふ神ならんか。
Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? God is He who justifies.
34 是等を罪に處する者は誰ぞ、其は死して而も復活し、神の右に在して尚我等の為に執成し給ふキリスト、イエズスならんか。
Who is he who condemns? Christ is He who died, but even more, was indeed raised, who indeed is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes on our behalf.
35 然ればキリストに對する愛より、我等を引離す者は誰ぞ、是苦難ならんか、憂か、飢か、裸體か、危険か、迫害か、剣か、
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Will it be affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
36 録して「我等終日主の為に死の危険に遇ひ、屠らるべき羊の如くせらるるなり」とあるが如し。
(As it is written: “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.”)
37 然れど我等此凡ての事の中に在りて、我等を愛し給へる者により、勝ちて尚餘あり。
No, in all these things we prevail completely through Him who loved us.
38 蓋我は確信す、死も、生も、天使も、権勢も、能力も、現在の事も、未來の事も、（力も）、
Because I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come,
39 高さも深さも、他の如何なる被造物も、我主イエズス、キリストに於る神の寵より、我等を離し得るものなし、と。
neither height nor depth nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
