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、
THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after 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。
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of 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。
For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that 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。
that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after 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。
For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after 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。
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is 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 propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.
8 然れば肉に居る人々は、神の御意に適ふ能はず。
They then who are in the 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。
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not 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 be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive 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。
But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit 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、
Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
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。
For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall 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。
For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
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。
For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, 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。
The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
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。
But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.
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、
For I reckon that the sufferings of the present moment are not worthy to be placed against the future glory that shall be revealed to 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。
For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God.
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。
For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject,
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。
in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
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。
For we know that the whole creation groaneth together and travaileth in birth to this moment.
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。
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting the 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。
For by hope we have been saved: now hope seen is not hope; for that which any man seeth how doth he yet hope for?
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 see not, we with patience expect it.
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。
In like manner also the Spirit affords assistance to our infirmities: for even this, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not: but the same Spirit more abundantly maketh intercession for us with groanings unutterable.
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。
Now he that trieth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, for he maketh intercession for the saints according to God’s will.
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。
But we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his 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。
For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren.
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。
But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he 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? If God be for us, who shall be 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 even spared not his own Son, but freely delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also, together with him, freely 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 shall put in an accusation against the elect of God? God? He is their justifier.
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 that condemneth? Christ? He died, yea, rather, also is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
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? shall distress of circumstances, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the 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, “That for thy sake we have been put to death the whole day long; we have been reckoned indeed 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。
But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that 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）、
For I am assured that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor those 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。
nor exaltation, nor deepest depression, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
