Titus 3
1 Pvt them in remembrance that they bee subiect to the Principalities and powers, and that they bee obedient, and ready to euery good woorke,
第二項 外界に對する信徒の務 汝彼等を諭して、君主及び有権者に服し、言はるる事に從ひ、凡ての善業に己を備へ、
2 That they speake euill of no man, that they be no fighters, but soft, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
誰をも罵らず、争を好まず、寛仁にして凡ての人に對して所有温和を顕す事を忘れざらしめよ。
3 For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another:
蓋我等も、曾て無知不信心にして、迷ひて様々の慾望と快樂との奴隷と成り、惡と嫉妬との中に生活し、憎まるべくして相憎む者なりき。
4 But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,
然れども我救主にて在す神の慈恵と仁愛との顕るるに及び、
5 Not by the woorkes of righteousnesse, which we had done, but according to his mercie he saued vs, by the washing of the newe birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost,
我等が行ひし義の業によらず、御慈悲によりて聖霊の賜ふ再生と一新との水洗を以、我等を救給、
6 Which he shed on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour,
我救主イエズス、キリストを以て、聖霊を豊に我等に濯ぎ給ひしは、
7 That we, being iustified by his grace, should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
我等が其恩寵によりて義とせられ、永遠の生命の希望に於る世嗣と成らん為なり。 (aiōnios g166)
8 This is a true saying, and these thinges I will thou shouldest affirme, that they which haue beleeued God, might be carefull to shewe foorth good woorkes. These things are good and profitable vnto men.
是眞實の談にして、我之に就きて汝の断言せん事を欲す、其は神を信じ奉る人々をして、励みて善業に從事せしめん為なり。斯る業こそは善良にして人に益ある事なれ。
9 But stay foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and brawlings about the Lawe: for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
愚なる問題と系圖と、争論と律法上の争とを避けよ、其は無益にして、空しければなり。
10 Reiect him that is an heretike, after once or twise admonition,
異説者を一度二度訓戒して後は之に遠ざかれ、
11 Knowing that hee that is such, is peruerted, and sinneth, being damned of his owne selfe.
其は斯の如き人の罪せらるるは、自らの判断にもよることなれば、邪にして誤れる者なる事を知ればなり。
12 When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to mee vnto Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
結末 我アルテマ或はチキコを汝に遣はしなば、急ぎてニコポリなる我許に來れ、我冬を彼處に過さんと決したればなり。
13 Bring Zenas the expounder of the Lawe, and Apollos on their iourney diligently, that they lacke nothing.
法律家なるゼナ及びアポルロを手厚く送りて、足らざる事なからしめよ。
14 And let ours also learne to shewe foorth good woorkes for necessary vses, that they be not vnfruitfull.
斯て我等の[兄弟等]も、果を結ばざる者と成らざらん為、[兄弟の]必要に應じて善業に從事する事を學ぶべし。
15 All that are with mee, salute thee. Greete them that loue vs in the faith. Grace bee with you all, Amen. ‘To Titus, elect the first bishoppe of the Church of the Cretians, written from Nicopolis in Macedonia.’
我と共に居る人々、皆汝に宜しくと言へり。信仰に於て我等を愛する人々に宜しく傳へよ。願はくは神の恩寵汝等一同と共に在らんことを、アメン。
