Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
キリスト・イエスの僕、召されて使徒となり、神の福音のために選び別たれたるパウロ――
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
この福音は神その預言者たちにより、聖書の中に預じめ御子に就きて約し給ひしものなり。
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
御子は肉によれば、ダビデの裔より生れ、
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
潔き靈によれば、死人の復活により大能をもて神の子と定められ給へり、即ち我らの主イエス・キリストなり。
5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
我等その御名の爲にもろもろの國人を信仰に從順ならしめんとて、彼より恩惠と使徒の職とを受けたり。
6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
汝 等もその中にあり、てイエス・キリストの有とならん爲に召されたるなり。――
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
われ書をロマに在りて神に愛せられ、召されて聖徒となりたる凡ての者に贈る。願はくは我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.
汝らの信仰、全世界に言ひ傳へられたれば、我まづ汝ら一同の爲にイエス・キリストによりて我が神に感謝す。
9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
その御子の福音に於て我が靈をもて事ふる神は、わが絶えず祈のうちに汝らを覺え、
10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.
如何にしてか御意に適ひ、いつか汝らに到るべき途を得んと、常に冀がふことを我がために證し給ふなり。
11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
われ汝らを見んことを切に望むは、汝らの堅うせられん爲に靈の賜物を分け與へんとてなり。
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
即ち我なんぢらの中にありて、互の信仰により相 共に慰められん爲なり。
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
兄弟よ、我ほかの異邦人の中より得しごとく、汝らの中よりも實を得んとて、屡次なんぢらに往かんとしたれど、今に至りてなほ妨げらる、此の事を汝らの知らざるを欲せず。
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
我はギリシヤ人にも夷人にも、智き者にも愚なる者にも負債あり。
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
この故に我はロマに在る汝らにも福音を宣傳へんことを頻りに願ふなり。
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
我は福音を恥とせず、この福音はユダヤ人を始めギリシヤ人にも、凡て信ずる者に救を得さする神の力たればなり。
17 For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
神の義はその福音のうちに顯れ、信仰より出でて信仰に進ましむ。録して『義人は信仰によりて生くべし』とある如し。
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
それ神の怒は、不義をもて眞理を阻む人の、もろもろの不虔と不義とに對ひて天より顯る。
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
その故は、神につきて知り得べきことは彼らに顯著なればなり、神これを顯し給へり。
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
それ神の見るべからざる永遠の能力と神性とは、造られたる物により世の創より悟りえて明かに見るべければ、彼ら言ひ遁るる術なし。 (aïdios g126)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
神を知りつつも尚これを神として崇めず、感謝せず、その念は虚しく、その愚なる心は暗くなれり。
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,
自ら智しと稱へて愚となり、
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
朽つることなき神の榮光を易へて、朽つべき人および禽獸・匍ふ物に似たる像となす。
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
この故に神は彼らを其の心の慾にまかせて、互にその身を辱しむる汚穢に付し給へり。
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
彼らは神の眞を易へて虚僞となし、造物主を措きて造られたる物を拜し、且これに事ふ、造物主は永遠に讃むべき者なり、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
之によりて神は彼らを恥づべき慾に付し給へり。即ち女は順性の用を易へて逆性の用となし、
27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
男もまた同じく女の順性の用を棄てて互に情 慾を熾し、男と男と恥づることを行ひて、その迷に値すべき報を己が身に受けたり。
28 Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
また神を心に存むるを善しとせざれば、神もその邪曲なる心の隨に爲まじき事をするに任せ給へり。
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
即ちもろもろの不義・惡・慳貪・惡意にて滿つる者、また嫉妬・殺意・紛爭・詭計・惡念の溢るる者、
30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
讒言する者・謗る者・神に憎まるる者・侮る者・高ぶる者・誇る者・惡事を企つる者・父母に逆ふ者、
31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
無知・違約・無情・無 慈悲なる者にして、
32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
かかる事どもを行ふ者の死罪に當るべき神の定を知りながら、啻に自己これらの事を行ふのみならず、また人の之を行ふを可しとせり。
