Romans 5
1 Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
斯く我ら信仰によりて義とせられたれば、我らの主イエス・キリストに頼り、神に對して平和を得たり。
2 It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favor in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
また彼により信仰によりて、今 立つところの恩惠に入ることを得、神の榮光を望みて喜ぶなり。
3 And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
然のみならず患難をも喜ぶ、そは患難は忍耐を生じ、
4 for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
忍耐は練達を生じ、練達は希望を生ずと知ればなり。
5 and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
希望は恥を來らせず、我らに賜ひたる聖 靈によりて神の愛われらの心に注げばなり。
6 seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
我等のなほ弱かりし時、キリスト定りたる日に及びて、敬虔ならぬ者のために死に給へり。
7 Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
それ義人のために死ぬるもの殆どなし、仁者のためには死ぬることを厭はぬ者もやあらん。
8 But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
然れど我等がなほ罪人たりし時、キリスト我等のために死に給ひしに由りて、神は我らに對する愛をあらはし給へり。
9 Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
斯く今その血に頼りて我ら義とせられたらんには、まして彼によりて怒より救はれざらんや。
10 For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
我等もし敵たりしとき御子の死に頼りて神と和ぐことを得たらんには、まして和ぎて後その生命によりて救はれざらんや。
11 And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
然のみならず今われらに和睦を得させ給へる我らの主イエス・キリストに頼りて神を喜ぶなり。
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
それ一人の人によりて罪は世に入り、また罪によりて死は世に入り、凡ての人 罪を犯しし故に、死は凡ての人に及べり。
13 Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
律法のきたる前にも罪は世にありき、されど律法なくば罪は認めらるること無し。
14 Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
然るにアダムよりモーセに至るまで、アダムの咎と等しき罪を犯さぬ者の上にも死は王たりき。アダムは來らんとする者の型なり。
15 But there is a contrast between Adam’s offense and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offense of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
されど恩惠の賜物は、かの咎の如きにあらず、一人の咎によりて多くの人の死にたらんには、まして神の恩惠と一人の人イエス・キリストによる恩惠の賜物とは、多くの人に溢れざらんや。
16 There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offenses, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
又この賜物は罪を犯しし一人より來れるものの如きにあらず、審判は一人よりして罪を定むるに至りしが、恩惠の賜物は多くの咎よりして義とするに至るなり。
17 For if, by reason of the offense of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
もし一人の咎のために一人によりて死は王となりたらんには、まして恩惠と義の賜物とを豐に受くる者は、一人のイエス・キリストにより生命に在りて王たらざらんや。
18 Briefly then, just as a single offense resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
されば一つの咎によりて罪を定むることの凡ての人に及びしごとく、一つの正しき行爲によりて義とせられ生命を得るに至ることも、凡ての人に及べり。
19 For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
それは一人の不 從順によりて多くの人の罪人とせられし如く、一人の從順によりて多くの人、義人とせらるるなり。
20 Law was introduced in order that offenses might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
律法の來りしは咎の増さんためなり。されど罪の増すところには恩惠も彌増せり。
