1 Peter 1
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
イエス・キリストの使徒ペテロ、書をポント、ガラテヤ、カパドキヤ、アジヤ、ピテニヤに散りて宿れる者、
2 according to [the] foreknowledge of God the Father, by [the] sanctification of the Spirit, to [the] obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you!
即ち父なる神の預じめ知り給ふところに隨ひて、御靈の潔により柔順ならんため、イエス・キリストの血の灑を受けんために選ばれたる者に贈る。願はくは恩惠と平安と汝らに増さんことを。
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of the dead,
讃むべきかな、我らの主イエス・キリストの父なる神、その大なる憐憫に隨ひ、イエス・キリストの死人の中より甦へり給へることに由り、我らを新に生れしめて生ける望を懷かせ、
4 to an incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens,
汝らの爲に天に蓄へある、朽ちず汚れず萎まざる嗣業を繼がしめ給へり。
5 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,
汝らは終のときに顯れんとて備りたる救を得んために、信仰によりて神の力に護らるるなり。
6 in which you are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in various trials,
この故に汝ら今しばしの程さまざまの試煉によりて憂へざるを得ずとも、なほ大に喜べり。
7 so that the proof of your faith—much more precious than gold that is perishing, and being approved through fire—may be found to [result in] praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
汝らの信仰の驗は、壞つる金の火にためさるるよりも貴くして、イエス・キリストの現れ給ふとき譽と光榮と尊貴とを得べきなり。
8 whom, having not seen, you love, in whom, now believing [although] not seeing, you are glad with unspeakable joy and have been filled with glory,
汝らイエスを見しことなけれど之を愛し、今 見ざれども之を信じて、言ひがたく、かつ光榮ある喜悦をもて喜ぶ。
9 receiving the outcome of the faith—salvation of your souls;
これ信仰の極、すなはち靈魂の救を受くるに因る。
10 concerning which salvation [the] prophets sought out and searched out, who prophesied concerning the grace toward you,
汝らの受くべき恩惠を預言したる預言者たちは、この救につきて具に尋ね査べたり。
11 searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,
即ち彼らは己が中に在すキリストの靈の、キリストの受くべき苦難および其の後の榮光を預じめ證して、何時のころ如何なる時を示し給ひしかを査べたり。
12 to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who proclaimed good news to you), by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, to which things messengers desire to look into intently.
彼 等はその勤むるところ己のためにあらず、汝らの爲なることを默示によりて知れり。即ち天より遣され給へる聖 靈によりて福音を宣ぶる者どもの、汝らに傳へたる所にして、御使たちも之を懇ろに視んと欲するなり。
13 For this reason, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly on the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
この故に、なんぢら心の腰に帶し、愼みてイエス・キリストの現れ給ふときに、與へられんとする恩惠を疑はずして望め。
14 as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,
從順なる子 等の如くして、前の無知なりし時の慾に效はず、
15 but according as He who called you [is] holy, you also, become holy in all behavior,
汝らを召し給ひし聖者に效ひて、自ら凡ての行状に潔かれ。
16 because it has been written: “Become holy, because I am holy”;
録して『われ聖なれば、汝らも聖なるべし』とあればなり。
17 and if you call on the Father, who is judging without favoritism according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn in fear,
また偏ることなく各人の業に隨ひて審きたまふ者を父と呼ばば、畏をもて世に寓る時を過せ。
18 having known that, not with corruptible things—silver or gold—were you redeemed from your foolish behavior inherited from our forefathers,
なんぢらが先祖たちより傳はりたる虚しき行状より贖はれしは、銀や金のごとき朽つる物に由るにあらず、
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted—Christ’s—
瑕なく汚點なき羔羊の如きキリストの貴き血に由ることを知ればなり。
20 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and revealed in the last times because of you,
彼は世の創の前より預じめ知られたまひしが、この末の世に現れ給へり。
21 who through Him believe in God who raised [Him] out of the dead, and gave glory to Him, so that your faith and hope may be in God.
これは彼を死人の中より甦へらせて之に榮光を與へ給ひし神を、彼によりて信ずる汝らの爲なり、この故に汝らの信仰と希望とは神に由れり。
22 Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another earnestly out of a pure heart,
なんぢら眞理に從ふによりて靈魂をきよめ、僞りなく兄弟を愛するに至りたれば、心より熱く相 愛せよ。
23 being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
汝らは朽つる種に由らで、朽つることなき種、すなはち神の活ける限りなく保つ言に由りて新に生れたればなり。 (aiōn g165)
24 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; the grass withered, and the flower of it fell away,
『人はみな草のごとく、その光榮はみな草の花の如し、草は枯れ、花は落つ。
