2 Corinthians 10
1 And I, Paul, myself, call on you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence [am] indeed humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,
第一項 パウロの権力及び勞力 面前に居る時は汝等の中に謙りて、居らざる時は汝等に對して敢て大胆なる我パウロ、自らキリストの柔和と謙遜とを以て汝等に希ふ。
2 and I implore [you], that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;
或人々は我等を恰も肉に從ひて歩むが如く思ふが故に、我が汝等に願ふ所は、其處に居りて彼の思はるる大胆を以て敢て此の人々に對はざらん事是なり。
3 for walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
蓋我等肉に於て歩むと雖も、肉に從ひて戰ふには非ず。
4 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,
即ち我等の戰の武器は肉的に非ずして、城塞を破るほど神によりて強きなり。之を以て謀計と、
5 bringing down reasonings, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,
神の智識に逆らひて驕る計畧と堡塁とを悉く壊し、凡ての理性を虜にしてキリストに服從せしむ。
6 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience whenever your obedience may be fulfilled.
又汝等の服從完全になりたらん時、一切の悖逆を罰せんとす。
7 You see the outward appearance. If anyone has trusted in himself to be Christ’s, let him reckon this again from himself, that according as he is Christ’s, so also we [are] Christ’s;
外面の事を看よ、人若し自らキリストのものなりと思はば、又省みて自らキリストのものとなるが如く、我等も亦然りと考ふべし。
8 for even if I will also boast anything more abundantly concerning our authority, that the LORD gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,
蓋假令我等の権力、即ち主が汝等を破る為ならで立つる為に、我等に賜ひたる権力に就きて愈誇るとも、我は赤面せざるべし。
9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters,
但我書簡を以て汝等を威すと思はれざらん為、
10 “because the letters indeed,” says one, “[are] weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.”
――即ち彼等は云ふ、其書簡こそ厳しく且強けれ、面前には身は弱く談話は拙しと、――
11 This one—let him reckon thus: that such as we are in word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present, [we are] in deed.
斯の如き人は我等が居らざる時書簡によりて語るが如く、居る時も亦實際に然りと覚悟せざるべからず。
12 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,
蓋己を立つる人々には、我等身を並べ又は比ぶる事を敢てせず、彼等は己を以て己を度り、己に己を比べて悟らざる者なり。
13 and we will not boast ourselves in regard to the unmeasured things, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure appointed to us—to reach even to you;
我等は度外に誇らず、神の我等に度りて賜ひたる分界の度によりて誇る、其度は汝等にまで及べる事即ち是なり。
14 for we do not stretch ourselves too much, as not reaching to you, for even to you we came in the good news of the Christ,
其は汝等まで届かざるものの如く、度を超えて身を延ばしたるに非ずして、實にキリストの福音を以て汝等に及びたればなり。
15 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men’s labors, and having hope—your faith increasing—in you to be enlarged, according to our line—into abundance,
我等は他人の働を以て度外に誇らず、唯汝等が信仰の彌増すに随ひて、己が分界に應じて汝等の中に益大いならん事を希望し、
16 to proclaim good news in the [places] beyond you, not in another’s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
又既に準備せられたる他人の分界に誇らずして、尚汝等を踰えて他にも福音を宣べん事を希望す。
17 and he who is boasting—let him boast in the LORD;
誇る人は宜しく主によりて誇るべし、
18 for he who is commending himself is not approved, but he whom the LORD commends.
其は可とせらるる者は、己を立つる人に非ずして、主の立て給ふ所の人なればなり。
