2 Corinthians 7
1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us purify ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God's fear.
然れば我至愛なる者よ、我等此御約束を得て己を霊肉の凡ての穢より潔め、神を畏れ奉りて聖となる事を全うすべし。
2 Receive us: we have injured no one, we have ruined no one, we have made gain of no one.
第五項 前書簡に関して説明を與へコリント人との親睦を全うせんとす 我等を承容れよ、我等は誰をも害せず、誰をも傷はず、誰をも掠めし事なし。
3 I do not speak for condemnation, for I have already said that ye are in our hearts, to die together, and live together.
我が斯の如く言ふは汝等を咎めんとには非ず、其は生死を倶にすべく汝等我等の心に在りとは我が既に言ひたる所なればなり。
4 Great [is] my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.
我汝等を信用する事大いにして、汝等を以て誇とする事大いなり。我等が一切の患難の中に於て、我は慰に満ち喜に堪へず。
5 For indeed, when we came into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but [we were] afflicted in every way; without combats, within fears.
蓋マケドニアに至りし時、我等の肉身は聊も安き事なく、一切の患難に遇ひ、外には争、内には懼ありき。
6 But he who encourages those that are [brought] low, [even] God, encouraged us by the coming of Titus;
然れど謙る人々を慰め給ふ神は、チトの來着に由りて我等を慰め給へり。
7 and not by his coming only, but also through the encouragement with which he was encouraged as to you; relating to us your ardent desire, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I the more rejoiced.
唯其來着に由りて耳ならず、尚彼が汝等の中に慰められし慰を以てせり。即ち汝等の我を慕ふ事、其歎、其熱心を我等に告げしかば、我喜は更に大いなりき。
8 For if also I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret [it], if even I have regretted it; for I see that that letter, if even [it were] only for a time, grieved you.
蓋我書簡を以て汝等を悲ましめたれども、之を後悔せず、假令其書簡が暫しにても汝等を悲ましめしを見て後悔したる事ありとも、
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye have been grieved, but that ye have been grieved to repentance; for ye have been grieved according to God, that in nothing ye might be injured by us.
今は喜べり。是汝等の悲みし故に非ず、悲みて改心するに至りたる故なり。汝等の悲みしは神に順ひしものなれば、我等より何等の損害をも受けざるなり。
10 For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
蓋神に順ひての悲は、悔なき救霊に至るべき改心を生じ、世間の悲は死を生ず。
11 For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in you, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
看よ汝等が神に順ひて悲みしは、如何ばかりの奮發、而も弁駁、而も憤激、而も恐怖、而も愛慕、而も熱心、而も罪を責むる事を汝等の中に生じたるかを。汝等は萬事の上に此件に就きて穢に染まざる事を顕せり。
12 So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.
然れば我が汝等に書遣りしは、害を為しし人の為に非ず、害を受けし人の為にも非ず、我等が汝等に對して神の御前に有てる奮發を顕さん為なり。
13 For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
斯て我等は慰を得、慰を得たる上に尚チトの喜によりて一層喜べり。其は彼の精神、汝等一同に由りて安んぜられたればなり。
14 Because if I boasted to him anything about you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken to you all things in truth, so also our boasting to Titus has been [the] truth;
我曾て彼の前に汝等を以て誇とせしも耻とする所なく、我等が汝等に語りし所の皆眞なりし如く、チトの前に誇りし事も亦眞となれり。
15 and his affections are more abundantly towards you, calling to mind the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
彼は汝等一同の從順と恐慄きつつ己を歓迎したる態とを思出して、其腸の汝等に向へる事更に深し、
16 I rejoice that in everything I am confident as to you.
我萬事につけて汝等を信用するを喜ぶ。
