1 Peter 4
1 Forasmuch then as Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
キリスト既に肉身に於て苦しみ給ひたれば、汝等も亦同じ心得を以て武器とせよ。蓋肉身に苦しみたる人は、是罪を罷めたるものにして、
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
最早人の慾に從はず、神の思召に從ひて肉體に殘れる時を過ごさんとするものなり。
3 For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
蓋我等既往に於ては、異邦人の望を全うして、淫亂、情慾、酔狂、暴食、暴飲及び邪なる偶像崇拝に生活せし事にて足れり。
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
彼等は汝等が同様なる放蕩の極に走らざるを怪しみて之を罵れども、
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
今已に生者と死者とを審判せんとして待設け給へる者に報告し奉るべし。
6 For this reason also the gospel was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.
蓋福音が死者にも宣傳へられしは之が為、即ち死者が人の通例に從ひて、肉身は審判を受けたりとも、霊は神によりて活きん為なり。
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
第一項 現に守るべき行状。 第三編 キリスト教會の内面の生活に関する勧。 萬物の終は已に近づけり、然れば汝等慎み祈りつつ警戒せよ。
8 Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
何事よりも先に互に厚き愛を有せよ、愛は多くの罪を覆へばなり。
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
苦情なく相接待し、
10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
各受けたる賜に應じて神の様々なる恩寵の善き分配者として、互に之を供給せよ。
11 If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus (the) Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
即ち人語る時は神の御言を語るが如くし、務むる時は神の賜へる能力を以てするが如くすべし。是神が一切に於てイエズス、キリストを以て尊ばれ給はん為にして、光榮と主権と世々之に歸す、アメン。 (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
至愛なる者よ、汝等を試みんとする火の如き苦を、新奇なるものの到來せるが如くに怪しむ勿れ、
13 But because you are partakers of Messiah's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.
却てキリストの苦に與る者として喜べ、是其光榮の顕れん時、汝も亦喜に耐へざらん為なり。
14 If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
汝等若キリストの御名の為に侮辱せらるる事あらば福なるべし、其は光榮の霊、即ち神の霊汝等の上に止り給へばなり。
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
然れど或は人殺、或は盗人、或は惡漢、或は他人の事に立入る者として苦しめらるる者は、汝等の中に一人も之あるべからず。
16 But if as a "Follower of the Messiah," let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
若キリスト信者として苦しめられなば耻づる事なく、却て此名に對して神に光榮を歸し奉るべし。
17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the gospel of God?
蓋時は來れり、審判は神の家より始まらんとす、若我等より始まらば、神の福音を信ぜざる人々の果は如何に成るべき。
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"
若又義人にして辛く救はれなば、敬虔ならざる者と罪人とは何處にか立つべき。
19 Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
然れは神の思召に從ひて苦しむ人々は善を為して、眞實にて在す造物主に其魂を頼み奉るべきなり。
