ローマ人への手紙 16
1 ケンクレヤにある教会の執事で、私たちの姉妹であるフィベを、あなたがたに推薦します。
[By means of this letter] I am introducing and recommending to you our fellow believer Phoebe, [who will be taking this letter to you]. She is a deacon in the congregation in Cenchrea [city].
2 どうぞ、聖徒にふさわしいしかたで、主にあってこの人を歓迎し、あなたがたの助けを必要とすることは、どんなことでも助けてあげてください。この人は、多くの人を助け、また私自身をも助けてくれた人です。
[I request that] you receive her because of her relationship with the Lord. [You should do that because] those who are God’s people ought to receive [their fellow believers]. [I am also requesting] that you help her [by giving her] [EUP] whatever she needs, because she has helped many people, including me.
3 キリスト・イエスにあって私の同労者であるプリスカとアクラによろしく伝えてください。
Tell Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila that I (send greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. They worked with me for Christ Jesus,
4 この人たちは、自分のいのちの危険を冒して私のいのちを守ってくれたのです。この人たちには、私だけでなく、異邦人のすべての教会も感謝しています。
and they were even willing to die [IDM] in order [to save] my life. It is not only I who thank them [for helping me], but the people in all [HYP] the non-Jewish congregations also [thank them for saving my life].
5 またその家の教会によろしく伝えてください。私の愛するエパネトによろしく。この人はアジヤでキリストを信じた最初の人です。
Also tell the congregation [that meets] in their house that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) them. Tell my dear friend Epaenetus the same thing. He is the first man in Asia [province] who [believed] in Christ.
6 あなたがたのために非常に労苦したマリヤによろしく。
Tell Mary, who has worked hard [for Christ] in order to [help] you, that I (send my greetings to/am thinking fondly of) her.
7 私の同国人で私といっしょに投獄されたことのある、アンドロニコとユニアスにもよろしく。この人々は使徒たちの間によく知られている人々で、また私より先にキリストにある者となったのです。
Tell the same thing to Andronicus and [his wife] Junia (OR, and [his sister] Junia) who are my fellow Jews and who were also [previously] in prison with me. They are well-known/respected (OR, respected by the) apostles, and they became Christians before I did.
8 主にあって私の愛するアムプリアトによろしく。
I also send my greetings to Ampliatus, who is a dear friend because of his relationship with the Lord.
9 キリストにあって私たちの同労者であるウルバノと、私の愛するスタキスとによろしく。
I also send my greetings to Urbanus, who works for Christ with us, and to my dear friend Stachys.
10 キリストにあって練達したアペレによろしく。アリストブロの家の人たちによろしく。
I also send my greetings to Apelles, whom Christ has approved [because Apelles successfully endured trials]. Tell the [believers] who [live in the house] of Aristobulus that I send my greetings to them.
11 私の同国人ヘロデオンによろしく。ナルキソの家の主にある人たちによろしく。
Also tell Herodion, who is my fellow Jew, that I send my greetings to him. Tell the same thing to those who [live in the house] of Narcissus who belong to the Lord.
12 主にあって労している、ツルパナとツルポサによろしく。主にあって非常に労苦した愛するペルシスによろしく。
Tell the same thing to Tryphaena and [her sister] Tryphosa, who work hard for the Lord. I also send my greetings to Persis. [We all] love her and she has worked very hard for the Lord.
13 主にあって選ばれた人ルポスによろしく。また彼と私との母によろしく。
Tell Rufus, who is an outstanding Christian, that I send my greetings to him. [Tell the same thing to] his mother, [who has treated me as though] I [were her son] [MET].
14 アスンクリト、フレゴン、ヘルメス、パトロバ、ヘルマスおよびその人たちといっしょにいる兄弟たちによろしく。
Tell Asyncritus and Phlegon and Hermes and Patrobas and Hermas and the fellow believers who [meet] with them that I am sending my greetings to them.
15 フィロロゴとユリヤ、ネレオとその姉妹、オルンパおよびその人たちといっしょにいるすべての聖徒たちによろしく。
I also send my greetings to Philologus, to [his wife] Julia (OR, [his sister] Julia), to Nereus and his sister, and to Olympas, and to all God’s people who [meet] with them.
16 あなたがたはきよい口づけをもって互いのあいさつをかわしなさい。キリストの教会はみな、あなたがたによろしくと言っています。
Greet one another affectionately, but in a pure way, [when you gather together]. The [believers in] all the Christian congregations [HYP] [in this area (send their] greetings to/say they are thinking fondly of) you.
17 兄弟たち。私はあなたがたに願います。あなたがたの学んだ教えにそむいて、分裂とつまずきを引き起こす人たちを警戒してください。彼らから遠ざかりなさい。
My fellow believers, I exhort you that you beware of those people who are causing divisions among you and who cause people to turn away [from God] [MTY] [because they teach things that] are contrary to the message [about Christ] that you have learned (OR, that others taught you). Keep away from such people!
18 そういう人たちは、私たちの主キリストに仕えないで、自分の欲に仕えているのです。彼らは、なめらかなことば、へつらいのことばをもって純朴な人たちの心をだましているのです。
They do not serve our Lord Christ! On the contrary, they only want to satisfy their own desires [MTY]! Also, by all the eloquent things that they say [DOU] they deceive those people who do not realize [that their teaching is false].
19 あなたがたの従順はすべての人に知られているので、私はあなたがたのことを喜んでいます。しかし、私は、あなたがたが善にはさとく、悪にはうとくあってほしい、と望んでいます。
[Believers] everywhere know that you have paid attention to [the good message about Christ], with the result that I rejoice about you. But I also want you to be wise, [with the result that you do] what is good. I also want you to avoid doing what is evil.
20 平和の神は、すみやかに、あなたがたの足でサタンを踏み砕いてくださいます。 どうか、私たちの主イエスの恵みが、あなたがたとともにありますように。
[If you avoid people who teach what is false], what will [soon happen] [MET] [will be as though] God, who causes us to be peaceful, will be crushing Satan under your feet! [I pray that] our Lord Jesus will continue to act kindly towards you.
21 私の同労者テモテが、あなたがたによろしくと言っています。また私の同国人ルキオとヤソンとソシパテロがよろしくと言っています。
Timothy, who works with me, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, who are my fellow Jews, [want you to know that they are] (sending their greetings to/thinking fondly of) you.
22 この手紙を筆記した私、テルテオも、主にあってあなたがたにごあいさつ申し上げます。
I, Tertius, [one who belongs to] the Lord, [also want you to know] that I am (sending my greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. [I am writing this letter as Paul tells me what to write for him].
23 私と全教会との家主であるガイオも、あなたがたによろしくと言っています。市の収入役であるエラストと兄弟クワルトもよろしくと言っています。
I, [Paul], am staying in the house of Gaius, and the whole congregation [here meets] in his house. He [also wants you to know] that he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Erastus, the treasurer of [this] city, also [wants you to know that] he is (sending his greetings to/thinking fondly of) you. Our fellow believer Quartus also (sends his greetings to you./says he is thinking fondly of you.)
As [I] proclaim [the good message about] Jesus Christ, [I tell about God], the one who is able to strengthen you [spiritually]. I also proclaim the [truth] that was not revealed {which [God] did not reveal} in all previous ages/times (aiōnios g166)
26 今や現わされて、永遠の神の命令に従い、預言者たちの書によって、信仰の従順に導くためにあらゆる国の人々に知らされた奥義の啓示によって、あなたがたを堅く立たせることができる方、 (aiōnios g166)
but which has now been {which [he] has now} revealed. [I, along with others, have proclaimed] what the prophets wrote [about Christ]. We are doing what the eternal God commanded [us(exc)/me to do]. We want [people in] all ethnic groups to know [Christ] so that they can believe [in him] and obey [him]. (aiōnios g166)
