2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

神の思召によりキリスト、イエズスに於る生命の約束に從ひてキリスト、イエズスの使徒たるパウロ、

2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

至愛の子チモテオに[書簡を贈る]。願はくは父にて在す神、及び我主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と慈悲と平安とを賜はらんことを。

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.

第一項 キリストに忠實ならんことを勧む 第一編 福音の為に懼なく戰ふべし 我が祖先以來潔き良心を以て奉事せる神に感謝し奉る、蓋晝夜祈祷の中に絶えず汝を記念し、

4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.

汝の涙を追想して、喜に満たされん為に、汝を見ん事を欲す、

5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.

是汝に在る偽なき信仰の記憶を有てるによりてなり、此信仰は曩に汝の祖母ロイズと母ユニケとに宿りたれば、汝にも亦然ある事を確信す。

6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

是故に我按手によりて、汝の衷なる神の賜を更に熱せしめん事を勧告す、

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

其は神の我等に賜ひたるは、臆する霊に非ずして、能力と慈愛と節制との霊なればなり。

8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

然れば我主に對する證明と、其囚人たる我とに耻づる事なく、神の能力に應じて福音の為に我と共に苦を忍べ。

9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. (aiōnios g166)

神の我等を救ひ、且聖なる召を以て召し給ひしは、我等の業によれるには非ず、御自らの規定により、又イエズス、キリストに於て世々の以前より我等に賜ひたる恩寵によれるなり。 (aiōnios g166)

10 And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

此恩寵は、今我救主イエズス、キリストの顕れ給ひしによりて證せられたり、即ち彼は死を亡し、福音を以て生命と不朽とを明にし給ひしなり。

11 to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

我は此福音の為に立てられて、宣教者たり、使徒たり、異邦人の教師たり。

12 For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.

又之が為に斯る苦を受くと雖も之を耻とせず、其は我が信頼し奉れる者の誰なるかを知り、且我に委托し給ひしものを、彼日まで保ち給ふ能力あるを確信すればなり。

13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

汝我に聞きし健全なる言の法を守るに、キリスト、イエズスに於る信仰と愛とを以てし、

14 Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

委托せられし善きものを、我等に宿り給ふ聖霊によりて保て。

15 You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

[小]アジアに在る人々の、皆我を離れし事は汝の知る所にして、フィゼロとヘルモゼネスと其中に在り。

16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.

願はくは主オネジフォロの家に憫を賜はんことを、蓋彼は屡我を励まし、我鎖を耻づる事なく、

17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.

ロマに來りし時切に尋ねて我を見出せり。

18 May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.

願はくは主彼日に於て、彼に主より憫を得させ給はん事を、彼がエフェゾに於て我を厚遇せし事の如何ばかりなりしかは汝の尚能く知る所なり。
