2 Corinthians 2
1 For I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again 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 will make me glad but 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 this very thing, so that, when I came, I would not have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.
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 affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for 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 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to 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 which was inflicted by the many;
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 you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
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 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward 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 to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in 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 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
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 no advantage may be gained over us 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 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was 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 had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into 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 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge 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 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
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 the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. 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, like so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
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。
