1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
我らの救主なる神と我らの希望なるキリスト・イエスとの命によりて、キリスト・イエスの使徒となれるパウロ、
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
書を信仰に由りて我が眞實の子たるテモテに贈る。願はくは父なる神および我らの主キリスト・イエスより賜ふ恩惠と憐憫と平安と、汝に在らんことを。
3 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
我マケドニヤに往きしとき汝に勸めし如く、汝なほエペソに留まり、ある人々に命じて、異なる教を傳ふることなく、
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
昔話と窮りなき系圖とに心を寄する事なからしめよ。此 等のことは信仰に基ける神の經綸の助とならず、反つて議論を生ずるなり。
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
命令の目的は清き心と善き良心と僞りなき信仰とより出づる愛にあり。
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
ある人々これらの事より外れて虚しき物語にうつり、
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
律法の教師たらんと欲して、反つて其の言ふ所その確證する所を自ら悟らず。
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
律法は道理に循ひて之を用ひば善き者なるを我らは知る。
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
律法を用ふる者は、律法の正しき人の爲にあらずして、不法のもの、服從せぬもの、敬虔ならぬもの、罪あるもの、潔からぬもの、妄なるもの、父を撃つもの、母を撃つもの、人を殺す者、
10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
淫行のもの、男色を行ふもの、人を誘拐すもの、僞るもの、いつはり誓ふ者の爲、そのほか健全なる教に逆ふ凡ての事のために設けられたるを知るべし。
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
これは我に委ね給ひし幸福なる神の榮光の福音に循へるなり。
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
我に能力を賜ふ我らの主キリスト・イエスに感謝す。
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
われ曩には涜す者、迫害する者、暴行の者なりしに、我を忠實なる者として、この職に任じ給ひたればなり。われ信ぜぬ時に知らずして行ひし故に憐憫を蒙れり。
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
而して我らの主の恩惠は、キリスト・イエスに由れる信仰および愛とともに溢るるばかり彌増せり。
15 Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
『キリスト・イエス罪人を救はん爲に世に來り給へり』とは、信ずべく正しく受くべき言なり、其の罪人の中にて我は首なり。
16 But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
然るに我が憐憫を蒙りしは、キリスト・イエス我を首に寛容をことごとく顯し、この後、かれを信じて永遠の生命を受けんとする者の模範となし給はん爲なり。 (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
願はくは萬世の王、すなはち朽ちず見えざる唯一の神に、世々 限りなく尊貴と榮光とあらん事を、アァメン。 (aiōn g165)
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
わが子テモテよ、汝を指したる凡ての預言に循ひて、我この命令を汝に委ぬ。これ汝がその預言により、信仰と善き良心とを保ちて、善き戰鬪を戰はん爲なり。
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
或 人よき良心を棄てて信仰の破船をなせり。
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
その中にヒメナオとアレキサンデルとあり、彼らに涜すまじきことを學ばせんとて、我これをサタンに付せり。
