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 Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News 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 before through his prophets in the 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 was born of the offspring of David according to the 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 declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from 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 received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
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 you are also called to belong to 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。
to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the 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, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed 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, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention 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。
always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to 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 long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
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, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each 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。
Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
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、
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
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。
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
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 Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the 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 in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
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 the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
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。
because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are 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。
Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 即ち自ら智者と稱して愚者と成り、
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
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 traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
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、
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to 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。
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
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。
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
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、
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
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、
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
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。
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, 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, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
