2 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, and the brother Timotheus, to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia.
神の御意によりてイエス・キリストの使徒となれるパウロ及び兄弟テモテ、書をコリントに在る神の教會、ならびにアカヤ全國に在る凡ての聖徒に贈る。
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
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。
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions, and God of all encouragement;
讃むべき哉、われらの主イエス・キリストの父なる神、即ちもろもろの慈悲の父、一切の慰安の神、
4 who encourages us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to encourage those who are in any tribulation whatever, through the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged of God.
われらを凡ての患難のうちに慰め、我等をして自ら神に慰めらるる慰安をもて、諸般の患難に居る者を慰むることを得しめ給ふ。
5 Because, even as the sufferings of the Christ abound towards us, so through the Christ does our encouragement also abound.
そはキリストの苦難われらに溢るる如く、我らの慰安も亦キリストによりて溢るればなり。
6 But whether we are in tribulation, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation, wrought in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer,
我ら或は患難を受くるも汝らの慰安と救とのため、或は慰安を受くるも汝らの慰安の爲にして、その慰安は汝らの中に働きて、我らが受くる如き苦難を忍ぶことを得しむるなり。
7 (and our hope for you [is] sure; ) or whether we are encouraged, [it is] for your encouragement and salvation: knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.
かくて汝らが苦難に與るごとく、また慰安にも與ることを知れば、汝らに對する我らの望は堅し。
8 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to our tribulation which happened [to us] in Asia, that we were excessively pressed beyond [our] power, so as to despair even of living.
兄弟よ、我らがアジヤにて遭ひし患難を汝らの知らざるを好まず、すなはち壓せらるること甚だしく、力 耐へがたくして、生くる望を失ひ、
9 But we ourselves had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not have our trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;
心のうちに死を期するに至れり。これ己を頼まずして、死人を甦へらせ給ふ神を頼まん爲なり。
10 who has delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver; in whom we confide that he will also yet deliver;
神は斯かる死より我らを救ひ給へり、また救ひ給はん。我らは後もなほ救ひ給はんことを望みて神を頼み、
11 ye also labouring together by supplication for us that the gift towards us, through means of many persons, may be the subject of the thanksgiving of many for us.
汝らも我らの爲に祈をもて助く。これ多くの人の願望によりて賜はる恩惠を、多くの人の感謝するに至らん爲なり。
12 For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity before God, (not in fleshly wisdom but in God's grace, ) we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly towards you.
われら世に在りて殊に汝らに對し、神の清淨と眞實とをもて、また肉の智慧によらず、神の恩惠によりて行ひし事は、我らの良心の證する所にして、我らの誇なり。
13 For we do not write other things to you but what ye well know and recognise; and I hope that ye will recognise to the end,
我らの書き贈ることは、汝らの讀むところ知る所の他ならず。
14 even as also ye have recognised us in part, that we are your boast, even as ye [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
而して我は汝 等のうち或 者の既に知れる如く、我らの主イエスの日に我らが汝らの誇、なんぢらが我らの誇たるを終まで知らんことを望む。
15 And with this confidence I purposed to come to you previously, that ye might have a second favour;
この確信をもて先づ汝らに到り、再び益を得させ、
16 and to pass through to Macedonia by you, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be set forward by you to Judaea.
かくて汝らを經てマケドニアに往き、マケドニアより更に復なんぢらに到り、而して汝らに送られてユダヤに往かんことを定めたり。
17 Having therefore this purpose, did I then use lightness? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to flesh, that there should be with me yea yea, and nay nay?
かく定めたるは浮きたる事ならんや。わが定むるところ肉によりて定め、然り然り、否 々と言ふが如きこと有らんや。
18 Now God [is] faithful, that our word to you is not yea and nay.
神は眞實にて在せば、我らが汝らに對する言も、然りまた否と言ふが如きにあらず。
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, he who has been preached by us among you (by me and Silvanus and Timotheus), did not become yea and nay, but yea is in him.
我ら即ちパウロ、シルワノ、テモテが汝らの中に傳へたる神の子キリスト・イエスは、然りまた否と言ふが如き者にあらず、然りと言ふことは彼によりて成りたるなり。
20 For whatever promises of God [there are], in him is the yea, and in him the amen, for glory to God by us.
神の約束は多くありとも、然りと言ふことは彼によりて成りたれば、彼によりてアァメンあり、我ら神に榮光を歸するに至る。
21 Now he that establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, [is] God,
汝らと共に我らをキリストに堅くし、且われらに膏を注ぎ給ひし者は神なり。
22 who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
神はまた我らに印し、保證として御靈を我らの心に賜へり。
23 But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth.
我わが靈魂を賭けて神の證を求む、我がコリントに往くことの遲きは、汝らを寛うせん爲なり。
24 Not that we rule over your faith, but are fellow-workmen of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
されど我らは汝らの信仰を掌どる者にあらず、汝らの喜悦を助くる者なり、汝らは信仰によりて立てばなり。
