1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment 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 Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from 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 As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
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 Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, 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 Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an 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 From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
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 teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they 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 But we know that the law is good, if a man use 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 the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
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 For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
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 Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
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 I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
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 a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, 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 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly 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 A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
『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 cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. (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 ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. 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 precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a 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 Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
或 人よき良心を棄てて信仰の破船をなせり。
20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn 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。
