2 Corinthians 2
1 And I decided this to myself, not to come again to you in sorrow,
われ再び憂をもて汝らに到らじと自ら定めたり。
2 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?
我もし汝らを憂ひしめば、我が憂ひしむる者のほかに誰か我を喜ばせんや。
3 And I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it was necessary [for] me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,
われ前に此の事を書き贈りしは、我が到らんとき、我を喜ばすべきもの、反つて我を憂ひしむる事のなからん爲にして、汝らは皆わが喜悦を喜悦とするを信ずるに因りてなり。
4 for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that you might be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
われ大なる患難と心の悲哀とにより、多くの涙をもて汝らに書き贈れり。これ汝らを憂ひしめんとにあらず、我が汝らに對する愛の溢るるばかりなるを知らしめん爲なり。
5 And if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
もし憂ひしむる人あらば、我を憂ひしむるにあらず、幾許か汝ら衆を憂ひしむるなり。（幾許かと云へるは、われ激しく責むるを好まぬ故なり）
6 sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the greater part,
かかる人の多數の者より受けたる懲罰は足れり。
7 so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
されば汝ら寧ろ彼を恕し、かつ慰めよ、恐らくは其の人、甚だしき愁に沈まん。
8 for this reason, I call on you to confirm love to him,
この故に我なんぢらの愛を彼に顯さんことを勸む。
9 for this also I wrote, that I might know your proof, whether you are obedient in regard to all things.
前に書き贈りしは、凡ての事につきて汝らが從順なりや否やをも試み知らん爲なり。
10 And to whom you forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you—in the person of Christ—[I forgive it, ]
なんぢら何事にても人を恕さば、我も亦これを恕さん、われ恕したる事あらば、汝らの爲にキリストの前に恕したるなり。
11 that we may not be over-reached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
これサタンに欺かれざらん爲なり、我等はその詭謀を知らざるにあらず。
12 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the LORD,
我キリストの福音の爲にトロアスに到り、主われに門を開き給ひたれど、
13 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding my brother Titus, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;
我が兄弟テトスに逢はぬによりて心に平安をえず、彼處の者に別を告げてマケドニヤに往けり。
14 and to God [is] thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is revealing through us in every place;
感謝すべきかな、神は何時にてもキリストにより、我らを執へて凱旋し、何處にても我等によりてキリストを知る知識の馨をあらはし給ふ。
15 we are a refreshing fragrance to God because of Christ, in those being saved, and in those being lost;
救はるる者にも亡ぶる者にも、我らは神に對してキリストの香しき馨なり。
16 to one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and who is sufficient for these things?
この人には死よりいづる馨となりて死に至らしめ、かの人には生命より出づる馨となりて生命に至らしむ。誰か此の任に耐へんや。
17 For we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity—but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we speak.
我らは多くの人のごとく神の言を曲げず、眞實により神による者のごとく、神の前にキリストに在りて語るなり。
